Marmite for the Road at Your Volkswagen Dealer
Of my rich tapestry of friends, one of my favourites works as a salesman at our local Volkswagen dealer. He's not my favourite because I went to school with him - because I didn't. I rarely nip out for a pint with him and he doesn't participate in football which is where I recruit the majority of my mates. He does however have a very large feather in his cap which demands attention - the fact he works at a Volkswagen dealer that allows him to drive a string of the very latest German metal. He's got a pretty good track record of what he's 'test driven' too. There was the turbo'd EOS which although is a convertible, is manly enough thanks to the riot going on under the bonnet that we looked...

VW Hopping Blunder Leads To Dismal Sales
Most of the critics in the auto industry found Volkswagens decision to replace Beetle as its entry level vehicle with all-new Rabbit a great blunder. This is due to the fact that Rabbit does not hold interest the same way Beetle does.

Euphemisms For BMW
After months of saving, I've finally bought myself a wonderful but used BMW! My boss is a miser with the wonga so it's taken some time but now I have this fantastic babe magnet to woo the ladies. My only problem at the moment is that because I wanted to bling up my wagon, I've gone and blown the rest of my moolah on new wheels. However, I have the best mum in the world and she's lent me the money to go to the pub. I drive down and pick the best spot in the car park, choosing to hang around outside and show off my car. My best mate emerges from the pub looking wasted. Usually a belligerent, miserable workaholic, he's had the benefit of massive quantities of whiskey which have turned him into a big...
Time it Right With Honda Distributor Rotors
Nobody likes traffic since it eats away valuable time and delays important tasks. A single missed appointment could set back your activities for the rest of the day. The same thing goes for your car engine. If the electricity ignited by the spark plugs is left unregulated, it would delay the combustion process. The combustion process depends greatly on the proper of electricity supply. That is the primary function of the distributor rotor installed in your car. The distributor manages the distribution of high voltage electricity in your car's engine. It ensures that the proper amount of electricity-as well as the exact timing-reaches the engine for continued combustion. A Honda distributor rotor, as...

Volkswagen Dealers Host the Return of an Icon
Volkswagen dealers must be feeling rather nostalgic this year with the return of their prodigal son - the Scirocco. There's something special about the return of an icon that tugs at the heartstrings of the human race. As a child I remember watching my beloved Manchester United tear apart teams in an era when football had just become big business at the dawn of the English Premiership. At this time I recall seeing Eric Cantona lash out at an opposing 'fan' with a kung-fu kick that equalled a nine month suspension. For all the uproar, the media backlash and preaching, his return against Liverpool was a modern-day resurrection. When a band reforms for a tour you know that 99 percent of the time it's...

Lower Valance: Fitted for Style and Protection
A set of outfit has different pieces. Every piece is tasked to cover a certain part of the body. Socks and pants, for example, are meant to cover and to protect the feet and the legs of a person. This concept in clothing is also applied to automobiles. Like a person's body, vehicles are also fitted with an outfit that is meant for safety, aesthetics, and operational purposes. The lower valance is among the different protective covers an automobile is equipped with. Installed both at the front and the back portions of a vehicle, the lower valance is primarily a covering panel. Mounted just beneath the bumpers, this auto part is cleverly designed to hide the 'skeletal' body part of the automobile. As...
VW Polo
Volkswagen Polo - a car in its (Optimus) Prime? Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Even at this relatively early stage of my life there's loads of things I wish I could've done a bit differently or encountered a bit sooner. A prime example would be the family holidays I used to go on. I was quite fortunate in that the three of us have seen most of Europe and lots of America. I remember all sorts, from jumping into a Volkswagen Polo hire car in Ibiza, long before I was aware of what those who aren't on a family holiday do in Ibiza, to sitting in a Delorean at Universal Studios in Los Angeles. Whilst I always appreciated my holidays, now I've got a job, a mortgage and have to pay for such luxuries as...

Why Buy a Used Ford?
We've all sat in traffic jams, and through the haze of frustration and traffic reports on the radio, have had our eyes wander over the surrounding metal stretching back for miles. The blue oval of a used Ford, or box fresh one, invariably stares back at you - and with good reason. For years Ford has outsold its rivals, with a new or used Ford delivering everything a car buyer could want, with cutting edge design, reliability, practicality and crucially; value for money all included. Take the Ford Ka for instance. This car is more popular among women than a small dog in a sparkly handbag and despite being 12 years old, it remains so futuristic looking, an extraterrestrial should be supplied as...

Vauxhall Zafira VXR - Warp Speed The Whole Family Can Enjoy
Just the other day I was peacefully carving up the tarmac on the motorway, when I saw a couple of nuances that I'd never noticed before. BMW drivers never indicate and Volkswagen Golf GTi 'drivers' are more of a danger to the planet than global warming. And so it was left to a Vauxhall driver at a set of traffic lights to re-instate my faith in owning a practical car, that looks good, goes like the clappers and doesn't stereotype me into being hated. What I witnessed at first had me checking I'd taken my medication. Mr Vauxhall driver had a pretty wife in the front, five screaming kids in the back and more luggage than any carousel at Heathrow in the boot. In a scene not too dissimilar to that bit...

Jaguar, Land Rover Sold
Some months back, the automotive industry has been bombarded with various pieces of news as per the fate of the Ford Motor Company's Jaguar and Land Rover brands. These two are actually luxury brands that are part of Ford's Premium Automotive Group (PAG).

It is also not a secret that Ford has been under much financial stress lately because of declining profit and one of...
Buying New? Instead Choose An Approved Used Model Of Car
With the current economic malaise it is understandable that many people are choosing not to buy brand new cars and instead choosing to buy approved used models. While the new car smell is certainly an appeal, the question remains whether it is a worthwhile investment? Add the high cost of new cars to the levels of depreciation and buying new can be considered somewhat foolish. A far more sensible idea is to look at the approved used cars from dealers such as Ford, Audi, BMW and Renault to name a few. By doing this you will gain a car that is in good working order and good value. Whenever buying a car it is important to consider as any options as possible.
