Bloody good point.



He`d get a cracker for half what the 318i would cost - V6 166s are

absolutely loaded with kit, go like fuck, and cost peanuts.

Sod the dealers - find a local specialist. They rarely go wrong so long

as you maintain them - most fucked ones are due to broken belt

tensioners, or lack of oil.



Yes, fuel consumption can look scary, but I was averaging 26-28mpg in

the Marea, ffs, and they`re not much worse than that.

Very good choice. A bit of an odd one, as they hold their value *very*

well. £3.5k is the starting point for a nice early one.

Nope - all there and quite nice. A little bit leggy, but so what.

Having said, that I don`t really see the point when I think about it.

Title: Butterfly Inspired Car - The Nissan Teana Birdwing
Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2009 10:54:27 +0000
Author: rydermiles

Butterfly Inspired Car – The Nissan Teana Birdwing Concept -
This Nissan Teana concept is freakishly cool. Everything about the car is supposed to remind you of a butterfly. Why the butterfly was used to model a car, I have no idea, but I can’t argue with the results.

Everything from the exterior sheet metal to the heavily overworked interior is supposed to invoke one of nature’s most beautiful insects. The sensibility isn’t for everyone but there’s something original about all the detailing. It’s ornate but in a modern way. Get past the design quirks and you’ll find a car full of tech wizardry like a heads up HUD display and auto-driver mode. So how about it, would you drive one?
