Websites for car nuts

Got a soft spot for your four-wheeled friend? Here are some of the best automobile websites on the net.

carmagazine.co.uk

Searching for the latest car news and reviews? United Kingdom publication Car Magazine's online version is a one-stop shop for information on the hottest new sets of wheels in the world. Be one of the first consumers on the planet to see spy shots of secret new cars in their early testing stages, often supplemented by unofficial videos from the auto world's paparazzi.

Constantly updated, Car Magazine's website brings you up-to-the-minute promotional images and performance reviews as cars hit the international market, and is dedicated to identifying the car industry's heroes and zeroes.

Remember the DeLorean DMC- 12 from Back to the Future, or the Aston Martin DB5 from Goldfinger? We often associate a car's coolness factor with the first time we saw it on the silver screen, and the Internet Movie Car Database is the web's most exhaustive source of image captures and information about cars featured in television and films.

Search by either movie/television show name or by car make and model, and pull up an enormous archive of screenshots and supplementary production information, dating back to films from the 1930s. Its coolest feature is the ability to filter search results by a vehicle's importance or role in the films it appears in.

It's often hard to find good New Zealand-specific automobile information, especially when it comes to localised road tests and pricing. Car and SUV provides opinions and reviews about cars, tailored to driving them on New Zealand roads.

All articles are extensive and cover the particulars car enthusiasts care about, and are a useful tool for anyone looking for a comprehensive overview of local specifications.

classiccar.co.nz

Modern automobiles aren't for all of us, so for those captivated by the classics, Classic Car is for you.

This website is a great online resource for enthusiasts of any type of classic car, from burly hot rods to agile European gems. Find rare classic cars for sale in New Zealand, and browse the extensive image and video collection.

Like Car and SUV, it features thorough on-road reviews, many hinting at the up-and-coming investment cars you'd do well to get your hands on now.

street-car.net

The interface is a little messy, but Street Car is a fantastically detailed database of information and specifications, covering more makes and models than you can dream of. Find facts and figures on cars from all over the world, from performance figures to crash test results, listed by model type then often drilled down by year edition.
