Default Opinions on my website re-write please.

Here is how it will look:

minus the typos, and probably with a few other little changes to the text.

I'm just after some feedback on it before I replace the current home page with it.

Thanks in advance.

not a prob mate, bevels make it easier to, since you dont have to decide on colours, or maybe thats just me, btw like the nice clean look of it, ive done plenty of sites with animated crap and fancy menu's etc, but at the end of the day, its the clean simple ones that im most happy with. sites with good content will always be better than pretty ones with no real info

Yeah, I'm no graphic designer, but I think that's obvious, hahaha

I agree, content is king, and that is the hard part, trying to find the content I need. It's fairly easy to get the basic stats for the sports models (like the RS2000), but anything beyond the basics can be hard to find, which is the reason for starting the site in the first place.

Besides, what good is a site dedicated to providing visitors with all the info they could need if they can't find it easily?

well said. May have to resort to brochure scans for info. maybe get pics/stats of owners cars to fill space in the meantime?
