UCP is certainly not as good as that one UCP barely features any "normal" cars at all. For example you will have some hardship trying to find a good report of the Citroen C5 on it. If that website gets their pictures original and not from google/press sites, it will becoem a big one !!! I am sorry for the criticism on ucp,but i cant help those things,it is YOU !. I allready said these same things a few times before...

Why would you particularly want a review of the Citroen C5, when you'll find it reviewed in all of the mainstream media?

I'd much rather UCP stuck to providing info on specialist cars that are not covered by the mainstream.

Really interesting is the Technical school!

It is a very good place to start exploring the motoring world!

A good site to start is howstuffworks.com

That site is great for finding general information about various cars, but it's not anywhere as enjoyable to read as UCP IMO. Too many mistakes in their write-ups and it sounds like they've just copied and pasted snippets of info from various sources, which makes the style of writing sporadic to say the least.

I'd like you to point me out the persons to whom a Citroën C5 feats in their concept of Ultimate Car.
There's a say in Portugal (and please don't take it literally because I don't pretend to insult) that goes like this: "Some people are like asses: we give them straw and they chose furzes". This is quite the case. You are offered a site with amazing pics of cars that are very rare to find and interesting, detailed and constantly updated info, and you prefer the kind of stuff you'd find in any cheap magazine like those that unenthusiastic people buy when they need to chose a car.
A website like that doesn't need own photos, because there's already lots of interesting pics from builders' media sites. And guess what? They're all in the Hide-out. Isn't UCP magical?
