Trader Dreamer: Hyundai XG

To a certain kind of car enthusiast, there are three things will appeal on this weeks trader dreamer. It’s a bargain barge, it’s got yellow fog lights and it’s got pillar-less doors. It really is a bargain too, the car that has all this and more can be had for true shed money, you could have change from £1,000. The car? The Hyundai XG30.

Trader Dreamer: Eagle Talon

This weeks trader dreamer is more of a ‘try and find another one’ than anything else. A browse through ebay saw me happen across this rarity in the UK, howmanyleft states that while there were once 4 in the UK, only one remains on the road, presumably this one. You’d surely be hard pressed to find another totally unique car for the small sum of £2,495!

The British Drift Championship Round 4

Drifting. I find it hard to see how some petrolheads dislike this sport, it is after all very highly tuned vehicles destroying tyres in the name of entertainment, and what’s not to like about that? I wouldn’t call my self an avid follower of the scene; the last time I went to a drift event was JDM allstars in 2009. However leaving round 4 of the BDC I found myself thinking much the same thing as I did back in 2009, I really should follow this sport more.

A M3 GTR lookalike with a Toyota Supra 2JZGTE against a Silvia S15 equipped with a Nissan V8 and twin turbos – you’re unlikely to find cars like this elsewhere…

Trader Dreamer: Mercedes CLS

If you follow any source of motor news then you’ll probably have seen a review of the new BMW 6 series Gran Coupe. Regardless of the fact it’s rather good to drive, this new four-door coupe has a major advantage in that it might just be the best looking car of it’s type on sale. Its not like it hasn’t got plenty of competition; the slightly dull but still attractive VW CC, the Audi A7, which I strongly disliked until I saw it in brown. The new CLS is nice but the 6 series just about edges it on style, but my (very subjective) point here is that the most attractive modern four door coupe is actually the CLS, just not the present one.

Trader Dreamer: Lada Riva

The Lada Riva, or AvtoVAZ 2107 finished production three weeks ago, and for a car which is so well known, not just among car people, but also the wider public, it didn’t get much press for it. It even has the accolade of being the third best selling car platform ever built.
