Many people think that a classic car is just an old car, but this couldn't be further from the truth. In fact, determining whether a car is a classic or just a hunk of junk, isn't as easy as people believe.

I'm about to buy '84 charade from my friend's uncle but I forgot to ask them if this one is a diesel? I've asked on Daihatsu repair questions about this and someone answered me that it is. I really like the car since we used to had a '85 turbo version of g11. It's really a reliable car.

Recently Tata has upgrade Safari variants. It's diesel variant of the Amazing Tata Safari Storme car gives a mileage of 14.0 on highway. Tata Safari Storme LX diesel has the potential to give a mileage in city of about 14.0, depending upon the driving conditions, style, etc. Tata clamming Safari will be reaching 0 to 100kmph in 15 second. The top speed for Storme is 165kmph, a figure that’s quite impressive for a vehicle of this size.
