Mini - The Evolution Of A Driving Legend

The Mini has been a style icon even since its original inception in 1959. The combination of a cute and quirky little car which was not only great around town, was owned and driven by the rich and famous, but was also one of the most easily affordable vehicles available for the normal person in the street to both buy and maintain, propelled this automotive icon into being one of the most popular British-made cars ever.

From the time the first groundbreaking 850cc Morris Mini Minor rolled off the production line on 26 August 1959, the Sir Alec Issigonis’ designed Mini was destined for a big future.

5 Steps To Choosing The Right Motorhome

If you’re thinking about getting into motorhoming for the first time, you might be wondering what type of motorhome you should choose - after all, motorhomes come in all sizes; from small vans to large coaches.

So how do you choose?

Five Steps to the Right Motorhome

1. How many berths [beds] do you need?

This is absolutely non-negotiable and must be got right. Remember a double bed counts as two berths and some beds are really only designed for children, so take note of each berth’s dimensions.

2. What facilities do you need?

How To Use Water As An Alternate Fuel Source? - Run Your Car On Water

Do you want to learn how you can use water as an alternate fuel source to gas? This technology has evolved so much and is becoming more easily accessible by the public today.

Many people are still skeptical about using water as a fuel and think that it is crazy. I can tell you now that it is indeed possible, and people who think it is impossible do not understand how the whole process works. You see, water is not the source of fuel as it cannot be burnt. It is a certain gas that you extract from H2O that can be burnt for energy.

How Biofuels Are Moving Into Top Status As An Alternative Fuel Source

Biofuels are made by taking matter and making it into fuel. I recently was watching dirty jobs on the discovery channel and saw an Isuzu pick up truck running on bio diesel. Now I thought to myself how in the world and what is bio diesel. Bio diesel is the oil from fryers like a restaurants deep fryer. The makers will take gallons of used vegetable oil and peanut oil basically any fryers oil and use them to make bio diesel. It is a long process but it only cost about 55 cents a gallon and gets about 40 mpg depending on the vehicle. I can’t exactly remember how it was made but there was a chemical reaction with the methanol that made all the sludge stick to the bottom of the gallon and after that you have bio diesel.

Dirt Cheap Car - Drive Home With One Today

Are you in the market for a dirt cheap car? Then don’t look in the classifieds. And definitely don’t go to a dealership.

The best bargains for dirt cheap cars can be found at car auctions.

Dirt cheap does not necessarily equate to low-quality. The purpose of auctions is to act as arbiter and dispose of automobile inventory that is being managed by the government in situations where the owners of the vehicle are no longer in a capacity to maintain possession of the vehicle. So it is entirely possible that you will mint-condition cars at these auctions. It is also inevitably possible that you might find junkers at these auctions as well.

Ten Innovation Trends At Stanford Media X- Robotics, Aging, Clean Tech, Brain, Gaming, Science, More

The goal of Stanford University Media X is to foster collaborations between industry and academia. The 5th Annual Media X Conference on Research, Collaboration, Innovation and Productivity, which I was fortunate to attend, served its purpose well. Let me share the 10 Key Trends that every business executive and innovator should be paying attention to:

1) Personal Robotics is poised to explode soon (predicted by Paul Saffo). It usually takes 20 years science basic science exists until applications reach inflection point and take the world by storm-and we are about to see that happen. Some indicators: DARPA sponsored first robotics attempts in mid-80s, and now we have applications such as the Roomba vacuum-cleaner, and a fully automated racing car. Prof. Kenneth Salisbury showed how there are robots today with great motor skills-i.e., they can unload a dishwasher!

Car Dealer Arranged Car Loans - What You Need To Know!

The Finance Office in a car dealership is one of the most lucrative profit centers in a car dealership.

Certainly car dealers are entitled to make a legitimate profit like any other business, but when they’re making a piece of the action from arranging a car loan for a customer, that money they earn which is called “dealer reserve,” is indirectly coming out of the customer’s pocket in the form of a higher interest rate.

I worked as a Finance Manager in several large new car dealerships, and I can tell you that quite often I made — for the car dealer — $1,500 to $2,000 “dealer reserve” on arranging any given car loans.
