Electric Cars Too Quiet

September 22nd, 2011

It has been said that electric cars are causing accidents because they are too quiet. Having driven in an electric car many times, I can vouch for the fact that many people walk in front of it and look in surprise at the car as if they did not hear it approaching. However, this tends to happen only in a supermarket car park, when many shoppers seem to think that they can walk anywhere they like and cars should stop for them. It may have been surprise at an approaching car, not the fact that it was so quiet. Read the rest of this entry »

Forecourt Industry Defends High Pump Prices

August 16th, 2011

A body which represents independent forecourts defended the fact that petrol stations are still continuing to increase petrol prices despite the fall in the value of crude oil. Since April crude oil has gone down by 18% but petrol prices have only gone down by 1.8%. This has caused complaints from many drivers.

However the company has explained that crude oil only makes up 30% of the price of petrol. Fuel duty and VAT make up 60% and then there are marketing costs and transport costs as well as profit for the wholesaler and retailer. They have explained that as these costs have increased, they have not been able to lower prices significantly. Read the rest of this entry »

MG6The MG6 is a mid-size car built by Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation, derived from the Roewe 550 and hence distantly related to the Rover 75.

Longbridge resumes production with the MG6

April 18th, 2011

Good news for all you MG lovers out there – The first new MG for sixteen years has been produced at Longbridge.

The MG6 is the first of any mass production at the Longbridge factory since Rover’s collapse in 2005 and MG enthusiasts and locals are very happy.

MG is currently owned by the Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation, the biggest car manufacturer in China.

The  MG6 will be on the market from May and is predicted to cost in the region of £15,495 and £18,995.

The 1.8l petrol, turbo-charged MG6 has a maximum speed of 120mph (193km/h) and goes from 0-60mph in 8.4 seconds

Can’t wait, although I have to say I wish they’d resurrect the beauty of the MGB.

Pawn Lamborghini, Bentley and Aston Martins

March 16th, 2011

pawn lamborghiniI’d never thought of the concept before, of firstly having enough money to buy a Lamborghini one minute,  then secondly needing the money back instantly to purchase or pay off something else.

In these financial times of boom and bust, of big city boys making huge amounts of cash on risky acquisitions and spending, spending, spending – the luxury car pawn industry is thriving.

Now the pawnbrokers only look at luxury cars, simply because the value sticks for longer on luxury and vintage cars (after a period), so if you want to pawn Lamborghini, pawn a Bentley or get cash by pawning an Aston Martin – you can get £10,000s in an instant and pay off Mr Big.

Machines like this can be expensive, so taking out RAC car insurance or another insurance company in your area, will cover you in an unfortunate accident. This means there is no need to park between two spaces or constantly keep it in the garage. Brands such as Toyota, Nissan and Mitsubishi are made in Japan and have been recognised for their high quality with various awards. This year, the Honda CR-Z won Car of the Year in Japan.
