Cannonball run europe rally 2003

07.15.2007 | 8:45 pm | Motoring DVD reviews

Inspired by the classic film of the same title, the Cannonball Run Europe is an annual race across Europe attended by some of the fastest cars on the road.The 2003 rally was filmed by a crew following the cars from start to finish in a NOS powered Range Rover.

The film starts with a quick introduction to the race and the drivers taking part, before the film crew and follow the Cannonballers hit the road on the

way to their first waypoint. Bumps, scratches and write-offs are acceptable risks on rallies, and it isn’t long before an unfortunate SLK 230 meets a ditch after taking a wet
corner too fast.

Import auction Southampton

Although it is possible for individuals and companies alike to purchase jap imports directly from Japan and then import them and take care of all the paperwork and SVA testing etc. The vast majority of imported cars from Japan come from auctions held at Southampton docks. Southampton is the jap import docks in the UK. The other main port of entry for import cars is Liverpool but this tends to be for American imports. Newcastle port also deals with Jap imports for the north and Scotland.

Nissan Cube - top rated japan car import for 2007

07.13.2007 | 3:45 pm | Car importers

The Nissan Cube is rare amongst concept cars as this car actually made it into production! The Cube is one of the most sought after Japan used cars imports, after becoming a cult classic in Japan everyone wanted one in UK. But unfortunately Nissan will not yet officially import the Cube as it will step on the toes of their mainstream small MPV the Note. (however we may say some officially imported Cubes in late 2007 or early 2008 as Nissan are looking at making a LHD version for import into USA to capitalize on the phenomenal popularity of this cool mini MPV). Right now the Cube is available from grey importers from £5000 -£10000 for cubes in great condition, service history and low mileage - what a bargain, one of the coolest cars on the road for £5000!!!!!!
