More than half way!

Wow where has 2012 gone!!!!
I have been working hard as usual and notice my love for drifting is taking over!

Have you ever been drifting?

WELL! It is a must on that 'Life List To Do!'
If you are even half as mad about cars as I am I would suggest an experience day. It is a driving skill like no other, controlled skidding and drifting around corners, roundabouts. Mastering the art of doughnut's and figure eights!  

DO IT!!!!

Motoring Article 3

Vauxhall Astra SRi 1.8
When I first stepped into this cocoon, a feeling of complete safe race mode came over me. With the most comfortable driver's seat, it was almost like they had tailored a bucket seat to cradle my personal behind! A black and grey sporty, stylish interior and a steering wheel that fit like a glove, just staring me in the face was a set of oval fast and furious style dials which really didn't need to have Speedo digits, just 0-faster! The only thing that lowered my revs was the burnt orange colour display to let you know what station you were tuning into. A big dash board and restricted but enough clear viewing in the rear window, touch sensitive indicators and a hand brake and gear knob you could fondle all day, this nothing but boy/girl racer SRi was ready to be put to the test.
As the Astra idled, a nice but quiet hum from the exhaust could be heard, easily slipping into first, the gear change is so precise, like a hot knife through butter, pulling you into gear right through to fifth. With a nice injection of torque and a huge magnet of ground pulling stability, the only thing that was missing was my race helmet to match this head turning beast, sitting on 18" with big chunky tires this 126HP Sri definitely gets two thumbs up from me!

Come On Girls

Now we all know we get called every name under the sun when us ladies are behind the wheel. But there is a ‘one-up’ to the hooting of horns and egotistical men flipping the bird and that is we have a proven track record of fewer accidents. So there for lower insurance. Don’t get me wrong, there are times when I have buried my head in my hands in shame of watching ladies, park, reverse round corners, make a three point turn, three being the operative word, make that eight point turn! And let’s not get on the subject of little women in 4x4’s picking up their children from school.
So to all the ladies who can’t see over the steering wheels, either buy a cushion to sit on or pump up the adjustable height lever located on the right side of the seat.
No Excuses!
If you cannot park your car and have a lot of difficulty doing it, just admit it to your self and buck the eyelids at the husband to get parking sensors fitted. Prices vary but at the end of the day, you pay for what you get and this widely known bit of knowledge transfers over to Satellite Navigations.
That’s right ladies I have seen some of you running circles round roundabouts, not knowing which exit you need and changing lanes at last second but the Satellite Navigation aka “Satellite Slut she gets around” is the answer to our prayers and we need never get lost again! The latest models are even so slim they can fit into your hand bag! Here’s a Top Tip for not to getting your Sat Nav stolen even if you have taken it out of your car, to clean off the sucker circles from you front windscreen, as this is what a thief will look out for. It take’s a few seconds to do and could save you a whole load of mess.

Make-Up, yes girls you already know what I am about to say here, we all love to save a little time and stay in bed for a few minute’s longer in bed or if running late we just can’t help ourselves but to get the mascara out and apply whilst driving! But the harsh reality is that it is dangerous and we can get fined and get points added onto our licence. If you do get pulled over for it, good luck with talking your way out of it, that’s if you get a policeman. And if you get a police woman, well lets just hope she’s gay!

Advanced driving courses are always good to take as not only will you perfect your driving skills and manoeuvres but the completed course will also lower your insurance as a recognised qualification.

So ladies, no excuses, clean up your act and stop giving other ladies a bad name!!

Is It Really That Useful?

Ok, someone once said to me “What is the point of teaching how to sew at school?”

And I agree. I don’t recall having ever once used this skill since that class aeons ago. Well here’s a suggestion for the Educational board, how about,
‘How to change a wheel?’ That as far as I can see is far more practical in the ‘21st Century’

Insert: Here is the break down, step-by-step with detailed photos:

Chav or Show Car?

Flashing neon’s, ironing board spoilers, go faster stripes and generally looking like a Halfords sale Christmas tree gone wrong! This article is dedicated to enlighten and educate you on a true “Modifier”.

Your ‘typical’ just turned seventeen and passed their test ‘boy racers’ are normally the ones that give us a bad name, from pushing our insurance through the roof to getting us to move on from local meets.

I guess it’s the feeling of pride and sense of achievement to say, “I can pull up my handbrake and do a quarter of a doughnut” or “push my pedals to find which one is my rev limiter.” That’s what ruins it for us and winds up the cop shop for them to normally make an appearance in 20 minutes, and it seems that there are more cops at meets than necessary rather than being out enforcing the law to ‘proper’ criminals.

But above and beyond the first timers,

“Is it a spaceship?”

“Is it a shopping trolley?”

“No!”

And after thousands spent on it, it’s a modified car! Full Gucci interiors, TV screens and even live gold fish tanks in cars, I feel that modification and personally customising your car is a form of expressive art through automobiles. With straight through exhaust, flip glitter paint jobs, Lambo or suicide doors, chrome spinners or bouncing hydro’s, the list is endless on what you can modify on your car.

But it’s not just a prize winning money pit, there is one other side to spending all this cash and that’s showing it all OFF. Cruising to the most famous strip South End sea front draws in the hundreds of car enthusiasts on a typical Saturday night. Car clubs, socializing with your friends, swapping chit-chat,

“What’s new?”

“What’s in?”

And who’s done what to their project – THIS is what we thrive on.

The only downer in this hobby is waiting for it to see daylight, to emerge out of the body shop, and when it does the excitement and crazed happiness that you feel is akin to holding a first born. These are the types of satisfaction used to describe your pride and joy rolling out knowing, “I transformed that.”
And this is the mark of a true modifier.
