Buying the Right Car

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

So lately I have been looking to with buy a BMW or buy a Mercedes, but since visiting garages around my local area I have realised that a lot of the smaller vehicles which are also a lot less pricey might be the better option for me.

The reason that I got turned off the larger cars slightly was because of the sheer amount of petrol that they guzzle not to mention the pollution that they emit to the environment. So after a long consideration I have whittled myself to look at a selection of new cars with small engines, below is a few positives and negatives that I am weighing my decision on.

Water 4 Gas Scam – Is it True?

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

In this Water4Gas review report, I am going to show you how it actually works, and how this technology can actually save you money. Ozzie Freedom, the author of the book, Water4Gas, shows you how to transform your car into using water in addition to gasoline to improve mileage and efficiency.

The book was written with complete noobs in mind. This means that even folks with no idea of how to open the hood of a car, can easily install this Water 4 Gas equipment into their vehicle. The system requires very little equipment that would cost less a $100. You will usually find the rest of the equipment required in your garage. The system simply works converting the water into a powerful gas called HHO, which is then injected along with the gasoline to reduce fuel wastage by 90% or more, allowing you to enjoy around 60 miles to the gallon!

Volkswagen Polo GTi – no extra costs, even for DIY enthusiasts

Friday, April 17th, 2009

It’s amazing what people will do if they feel it is socially acceptable.  For example auditioning to be locked in a house for three months surrounded by cameras is the gateway to ‘stardom’, jumping off a tall building to your imminent death before a piece of cloth catches the air is seen as ‘fun’ and jumping into a freezing cold Scottish lake on New Year’s Day is ‘tradition’.  People also think nothing of taking a screwdriver to the family Volkswagen Polo and having a bash at ‘improving’ it themselves.

Are 20 Inch Rims Worth The Cost?

Friday, April 17th, 2009

The easiest way to make any car stand out when is by changing some of the stock features that came with it when you bought it. You probably do not have to drive far to see the same exact car that you drive on the road. This gets you to thinking about what you could do to make your car different. You are fine with the engine and do not want to dump money in it as it might void your warranty. You are just concerned about the style of the car. The quickest way to do this is by changing the stock wheels.

Thursday, April 16th, 2009

As new car sales see as sharp drop off in their numbers, used vehicle auctioneers are having a better time of it any have been announcing growing volumes of used cars coming through their doors.

The new car market is clearly not in a good way. Production is down at all the major car manufacturers and lay offs have been announced across the board. The luxury car market has also been hit, with Bentley announcing job losses last month. Official figures show a 30.9% fall in new car registrations in January as compared to the previous year according to the Society of Motor Manufactures. 1974 was the last time there was a fall of this scale and there looks to be continuation of this trend in the new future. 3 years is the predicted length for the slump in car sales according to many industry analysts.
