The Woman Shows The Men How To Park!

I’ve recently been looking for a new car and have been carrying out some research, during which I came across this Mazda 2 advert – which is one of the funniest ads I have seen in a while!

…The ad certainly makes the poin that this new Mazda is easy to park!!

Mean-Looking Cars…

Now, i’m starting to get a little fed up of the way I always seem to get ‘bullied’ on the roads by other motorists with larger cars than my own…

I drive a Ford Ka…probably one of the smallest cars on the road, however, when I choose to overtake some other driver who is barely managing to do 70mph I immediately get another motorist with a far larger car driving right up my backside!

…It infuriates me!

I would love to own a large Range Rover Sport or a mean-looking Ford Ranger – then I’m sure I wouldn’t get other motorists driving within an inch of my bumper!

Health & Safety Idiots

Well boys will be boys, no matter how much you wish them to grow up and act responsibly.

This picture i found randomly stunned me! How stupid – i hope this was a dare and not for real, if so what were they thinking- did they not learn anything at school, water and electricity do not mix.

The boys could use some health and safety training. Kent schools have many programmes that could help teach the lads. God knows what else they do and get away with, one day they won’t be as lucky.

Buying Jewellery Online…Pros and Cons

Now, last Christmas many people chose to do their Christmas shopping online – it can save a lot of time and hassle, and saves you from having to fight your way through the big crowds inside hot and airless department stores.

However, this year the postal strike may just put some people off the idea. I know some people that decided to start their Christmas shopping early to make sure that their gifts arrived in time for the festive season – however they have now been hit by the postal strike which means that they could be waiting ages for their gifts to arrive.

If you’re planning on doing your shopping online you should check to see what delivery company the online store uses – chances are they will be using someone other than Royal Mail – if so you’re in luck and should see your gifts arrive on time.

If you are considering purchasing jewellery online you should make sure that the company uses a secure delivery method – as you could be spending lots of money online! You want to be able to track your order too- so you know exactly where it is!

Other than that just make sure that the company is genuine, they allow you to return the product if you are not 100% happy and you can see detailed images on the website shop.

If you check these things before you buy – your Christmas shopping should be stress-free and fun!

New Renault Model Details Revealed…

Renault have just revealed the prices and model details for their brand new Megane Renaultsport 250.

Their sporty new hatchback is the latest in the Renault model line up to receive this type of treatment – following the Twingo and the Clio. The first round of deliveries will arrive in the new year.

This car comes in two models – the Megane Renaultsport 250 Cup and the Megane Renaultsport 250 – both offer an exhilarating performance.
If you really want to jazz this sporty Renault up even further then there will be a range of personalisation options available…incuding a fixed-glass roof and 19-inch alloy wheels.

From the pictures the Megane Renaultsport certainly looks the piece – time will tell if it performs…

Don’t be caught short this winter…

The last thing you want to happen this winter is to break down on a cold chilly night at the side of the motorway.

If however this does happen, make sure that you are prepared for such eventualities – you have a boot for a reason!

Most importantly – because of the season you should keep a blanket in the back, you should also keep a tow rope, jump leads and whatever you do – make sure your spare wheel is where it should be. You will also then need your wheel jack and your wheel wrench!

However flashy or expensive your car – you can never be too careful as anything from a Jaguar to a Kia can break down somehow!

Would anyone like to add to this list?? Suggestions are welcome!

Fiesta tops September Sales

It seems as though motorists can’t get enough of the Ford Fiesta – which had topped yet another poll this year.

This time it has topped the sales list for the important 59′ plate launch month – beating the likes of the Vauxhall Corsa, Astra and, the Golf and the Mini. I think the reason for the Fiesta’s popularity is the fact that it offers such great value for money.

It has an extremely competitive price, stunning looks and is a well-known motoring brand – in other words you know what to expect!

Ford Focus Sales Looking Good

According to recent figures released the Ford Focus was the third best selling car during the competitive and important 59′ plate launch month.

The Focus has had quite a good year  – although not as good as the new dynamic Fiesta which came top. Ford have two really good hatchbacks in their model range which are proving to be really popular in the competitive marketplace.

I find that the Focus suits a slightly older audience than the Fiesta which has been marketed towards the younger, more vibrant motorists.

The Fiesta will soon also benefit from the innovative stop/start technology which will help to reduce emissions. This may make this little hatchback even more desirable!

Vauxhall vs. Ford

In a recent list published by a leading car magazine regarding the 59′ Plate sales,  both Ford and Vauxhall occupied four out of the top ten places.

The list revealed the sales figures during the popular 59′ plate launch month – and the top half of the list looked like this:

Top 10 best-sellers for September 2009:
1 Ford Fiesta
2 Vauxhall Corsa
3 Ford Focus
4 Vauxhall Astra

Both Ford and Vauxhall seem to be doing particularly well  at the present moment – the Ford Fiesta has had a particularly good year, the new Corsa has also seen great success and now the new Vauxhall Astra has also received rave reviews.

Ford seem to have come out slightly better in this sales list – but Vauxhall are never far behind. When it comes to the hatchback marketplace these manufacturers certainly seem to be a prominent force!

The meaning of dreams…

Now – this is quite a random blog, but I can’t stop thinking about the meaning of my dream last night.

I even woke up at the end of it not being able to sleep because I was trying to work out what it meant.  In my dream I was at my office Christmas party when one of my colleagues fell into the water….(i don’t know where the water cam from) anyway my colleague didn’t reappear.

Nobody jumped in to save them so I said, “is nobody going to help them!” I then jumped into the dark murky water and dragged my colleague to the surface -

…at this point I then woke up thinking about what I would do in real life as I have never attended a first aid course – which I think is quite bad!

Anyway…if anyone could help me to understand the meaning of this dream I would be very grateful!
