Friends,

Perhaps you've noticed Next Car is one of the leading automotive news distributors, in terms of quantity, in Australia. We're working on securing this aspect, that way you will have plenty of news, updated regularly, all at one site. No doubt, this will be appreciated, if you've chosen Next Car as your 'home page'. A bonus will be road test on many of the great cars available in this great country, which we call home.

Warm regards,
Stephen Walker
