09/19 Affordable rental cars in Christchurch

We once had a Swiss student staying with us, here in Christchurch. His father flew in, half way through his stay, and so he wanted to know about rental cars in christchurch Fortunately I knew a lot about them. We have all the major car rental firms here in the Garden City, because we are the gateway to the SouthIisland of New Zealand and a major stopping off point for inbound and outbound travellers. Also, we have amny smaller, independent rental businesses where you can pick up an affordable hire car and make a tour of the South island in comfort and security.

09/18 Antique Mini Car - Toy, but No Toy

Everyone loves the little antique mini cars. One thing to remember, though, that although they are like a toy, they really are not a toy. Your child will want to drive one around the yard, and that is perfectly acceptable so long as there is adult supervision. Some simple safety rules to follow would be to remember that these cars are for off road use only. Do not try driving one to the corner store. They are not street legal unless you are invited to drive in a parade. These mini cars are not designed for racing or rental tracks. The cars on those tracks are different. Make sure you always wear a helmet, and make your child wear one as well. Finally, be sure to read the instructions that came with your mini car.

09/18 Honda Appeal

Honda seems to be a car which appeals to two very different groups of the UK population the older citizen who is looking for a reliable and safe car, and the young wannabe big shot that is looking for something which is flash and fast but also reliable cool and not so expensive he cant afford to take the young lady he picks up in his new car any where other than the local burger joint.  The car this young pretender will end up driving will be the Honda Civic type R a truly impressive car both in looks and performance ( I tested one at Bristol Honda) and the older generation? Well pretty much any other car in the Honda range is well suited to them.

09/11 Could you power your car on water?

What if I told you that in the future you will no longer need gasoline to fuel your car? What if I told you, that you could get more miles per gallon? What would you think.

I would think that I was crazy, absolutely crazy. I would never believe that you could run your car on water. That just could not be possible, or could it.

Then the more I thought about it I wondered if it could be true. The more I thought about it I realised that so many things are powered by water, why not our cars? What would be the difference?

09/08 Trip to Ireland

I decided that when I would finally realize my dream of going to Ireland, I would rent a car. The lhd we rented was great, well my husband couldn’t figure out how to drive it. He has never been good at embracing new things. In fact, he could not even pick up the knack of driving with his left hand. A used left hand drive car wasn’t right for him. In fact he cannot do anything with his left hand. So I wound up driving the whole trip. It was a beautiful place to drive but I was tired of being the only driver.

08/28 Your car mover will handle your car with respect

When you have spent as much money on a  good car as I have, you only want to move it any lng distance in the hands of a good car mover . It’s not just a matter of putting scratches on it during a long (long!) drive from your old city to the new one you’re moving to. Rather it is the very thought of being disrespectful to the car. it is a magnificent vehicle and you want to give itthe best treatment possible. Frankly, driving it 2000 miles across country is not anycar’s notion of respect. So get a good car mover and he will move the vehicle for you quickly, in style and with respect.

08/24 I am going to buy the water of the gas book.

After trawling around on the Internet on many days, I stumbled across an article about fuel saving tips.  The best thing I found was water4gas reveiws

this is a system that basically turns water inside a fuel cell into gas which you then feed into your engine, enabling you to save money.  I think in today’s climate, with fuel prices on the increase, every day.  These sorts of technologies will become more and more popular.  So I have ordered the system, and I’m going to install it in my old pickup truck next week.  I only hope it will save me money at the pump.

08/18 I use car reviews extensively

There is something that I rely on heavily when I come to purchasing a new car and that is reading as many of the car reviews out there as possible that I can. With the widespread use of the internet, fortunately we are able to share information on our favorite automobiles and transport with people from all over the world. I used a really good car review site when I wanted to buy a car for my wife; she wanted a sports utility vehicle and buy reviewing all that others had to say about their experiences, I got to purchase a really good bargain for myself.

08/16 Car Paint Damage Prevention

In order to prevent car paint damage you have to use a good quality polymer coating according to the directions.  A high quality waxing will also help but will need to be refreshed more often than a polymer coating.  Be sure you are applying the coating over a crystal clean and smooth surface. Consider claying before waxing if the surface does not feel smooth.  You want to obtain a non-abrasive clay with a detail spray and follow the directions.  This will remove all surface contaminants if done correctly.

08/14 Where can I get a good price on a Ford Focus?

I have decided that I really want to buy a 2008 Ford Focus. I have just started looking through the for sale ads for cars, and so far I haven’t seen any that fit my needs. They either cost too much money or have too many miles or the wrong options. Hopefully I’ll find something soon. Does anyone have any ideas on where I can find a 2008 Ford Focus for a really good price? I have heard that sometimes you can find a lot better deal somewhere a bit further away from where you live if you are willing to drive a bit, so I think I’ll expand my search area.

08/11 Number plate fonts.

Previously there has been number plate legislation governing the height and width of the characters used. This did not stop people having plates made up with italic letters or worse. To stamp the practice out new laws were passed defining both the stroke of the characters and also the font which is the Charles Wright font. This clears up any confusion. To enable the law to be enforced, suppliers must now be registered on the Register of Number Plate Suppliers and they must print their name and postcode on each plate that they supply.They also have to obtain proof of I.D. and entitlement at time of purchase.
