My first love - cars

Cars have always been a passion for me but I've never had the chance nor the time to explore it fully till the last few years in China when I finally settled down. My current rides are a 2006 Audi A6L and a 2007 Nissan Livina Geniss.

The Audi A6L is a long wheelbase version of the C6 A6 designed for China and produced in the joint venture factory in Changchun, China. I have the 4.2l version which is fully optioned as I feel it is the only engine in the line-up that actually does justice and has enough power to run a very heavy car. The car currently has 95,000 km on the odometer and so far I've made the following modifications to the car:
Future modifications include H&R anti-sway bars, 19 inch forged rims and tyres, upgraded DVD system and Sat Nav, and maybe a sports exhaust.


The Nissan Livina Geniss is a small 7 seater that was developed in China. It serves as a great runabout in city driving. I didn't care too much for the handling of the car when I bought it and most of my modifications were to enhance ride comfort and handling. With 32,000 km driven, the following modifications have been made:

  • Monroe shocks and Espelir springs for front and rear, resulting in a drop of about 1 inch
  • Michelin Energy XM1+ tyres
  • Strut brace
  • Lower tie bars
  • Soundproofing
  • Vifa speakers
  • V-cool window tints
  • Evans NPG+ coolant

  2. Hey just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words
    in your post seem to be running off the screen in Opera.

    I'm not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with internet browser compatibility but I figured I'd post to let you know.
    The layout look great though! Hope you get the problem solved
    soon. Cheers

  3. There are different types of pay day loans depending
    on your needs, job and credit situation. If you do not plan to pay back your toward
    over bills, of loan amount plus the rate you were quoted?
    These companies have a healthy reputation learned, offices, this extra charges on the
    interest rate. http://Alturl.com/
