I think the reason people purchase certain cars is because they have seen other folk use the same vehicle over a period of time and have been able to offer them reliable advice on how well the car performs.

Nigerians naturally prefer the better safe than sorry motto. especially in Lagos where if you have a faulty/unreliable car you might end up in rough situations with very unfriendly people.

Siena: Make: Audi.
Model: A6.
Engine: 2,976cc V6 2 x DOHC 30V.
Fuel system: Sequential, Multi Point Fuel Injection.
Fuel type: Petrol.
Induction: Naturally aspirated.
Cylinder head: Light alloy.
Cylinder block: Cast aluminium.

TRANSMISSION

5-speed Tiptronic.b
Drive: AWD.

PERFORMANCE

Power: 220 bhp.
Torque: 300 Nm (221 lb-ft).
0-60 mph: 8,4 secs.
Maximum speed: 147 mph (238 km/h).

RUNNING COSTS

24 mpg.
Euro Emission Standard: Euro III.

Notes: Audi's large family sedan, the A6. The 3,0 V6 30V engine offers substantial advantages over its predecessor, the 2,8 V6 30V. With its all-aluminium construction, it is lighter than the old cast iron 2,8, and with the revised fuel system, more economical despite the power hike. Audi's legendary Quattro drive means all 220 horses are put down cleanly. Typically German, the ride may be a bit on the firm side on rough roads, but grip is assured. Perhaps not as much a driver's car as the BMW 530 Sport E39, but a worthy contender. Avoid roadside mechanics if longevity is paramount, oil changes should be carried out at least every 6,000 miles. The all-alloy V6 is good for well over 300,000 miles. The A6 is mechanically similar to the VW Passat B5, so any decent Volkswagen tech will be familiar with this car.

Hey siena,
What german brand and model of car saloon would you recommend to be a very good dd(daily driver) on nigerian terrain.
An Audi a4,an e39 BMW 545i, a BMW m5
You could also put your experience with these automobiles in your comparison .
Thanks.

It's folks like yourself that discourage ladies from coding. So in your own small stereotypical world the only Jist you would enjoy having with women would include talking about their ikebe .boobi and how many bowls of nkwobi you want her to make for you abi?. It all boils down to interest and how the both of you connect.

Just chill bro, the mail will drop I think they're calling in batches.

Is it during the pre interview stage they ask about history of gtb and various facts about the bank or in the final interview stage?

Somorin#1:
You don't have to worry about me. No pain no gain. I have fresh blocks, crankshafts and heads in the shed.

While we're at it, are you Guys playing with NOS in 9ja yet?

To use on which roads?

nov 9 folks should check their inbox.

how about jet A fuel used by the airplanes?

just got my invite for dec 11 guys, Thank God.

Do they expect we bring international passport and driver's license or just one of them?.

And i ask again, how do computer engineers answer the question of how you would be valuable to the bank.
Thanks.

You still haven't answered my question. i want pics this time around.

inspired_m: Kindly Specify The Year Models Sir.

Cheers

The 2008 model.

Fhemmmy: Thanks for checking us out . . . We take pride in what we do and offer, yet, we remain humble . . . I am sorry, we wont be able to deliver ANYTHING that we never buy, due to the fact that we dont know how that thing was paid for, i wanna sleep at night and dont worry about any Police at my door that something was delivered to me to be shipped out of the country . . . Hope you do understand.
Tell us what it is and we will do our best to see how to find it or buy it ourself on your behalf.

Really working on your PR skills fem,appreciate.
What i was saying was that i would give you links to the specs of the pc parts i would need to build my gaming rig, and you would help buy the parts and help ship them to Nigeria. e.g take a look at these links:
[url]http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/category/category_tlc.asp?CatId=31&name=Barebone-Kits&cm_re=Homepage-_-Spot%2015-_-n[/url]
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883229360 ?

If you guys could borrow the airport for like a day or so, you would race your heart out.

hey Fem,
How about delivery of a configured Pc gaming rig from say newegg.com, could you deliver?

Good Girl: Joselyn Dumas is more beautiful and apart from having a better body than Tonto, she also has the advantage of being classy and feminine (the two qualities Tonto lacks).

oti taan.
Jocelyn is the kind of lady i won't be afraid to see when i wake up next to her in the morning or see her strolling in the kitchen with nothing but my dress shirt,unlike.

If you've heard of the arduino or the rasberry pi, they provide more advanced functions and allow you to program the chip using functional languages like python.

Prototyping my own car project, would let you guys know on how it comes along.

Remii: My Lexus gx470 was snatched at gun point at gbongan junction, the robbers took me and my wife hostage in the car for about two hours and drove us over 150 km away towards Oyo town before let us go in middle of nowhere just to confirm the car would not stop either by electronics or fuel shut off mechanism. I didn't regret not tracking it because they threatened to kill us if the car had stopped. I only regret under insuring the car. Unfortunately Nigeria Police is a disappointment. My BB stolen with the car is still in use in Cotonou by a young lady yet NPF has not done anything since January 2012.

Advise: Comprehensively insure your car for an amount that can give you another car if stolen or damaged.

could you give a breakdown of the cost of the insurance.

Was thinking of going into the salvage business myself,being as It's one of the profitable ways of getting your money back from car sales in the competitive Nigerian auto-scene. but with all the risks you guys mentioned, I don't want to be held responsible for the death of fellow Nigerians all in the name of cutting costs and making profit.so I'll stick to modifying cars that I have and driving them for the hell of it.

And how do you guys cope with fuel scarcity in Abuja, your machines have to be well fed before they go hunting?

Quick one, hw much did the sls amg cost you, and i wanted to know.if you guys bought all your cars new?

Hey inspired,
How much would a BMW m3 or m5 cost to bring to Lagos.

Nigerian Defence Academy responsible for training nigerian military personnel is located in Kaduna, and as such increases their chances of enrolling into the armed forces.

slimyem: NL babes are so fiiineeeee.....!

Only if you had a profile pic.

I got new headlights but they don't offer much bright viewing distance at night.i think i would go with your suggestion of re-aiming them.

hollas2jnr: Thanks a lot Captalex. Any idea on the blinking HOLD light on the dashboard?
