Accelerating Your Company’s Potential With...
The majority of companies in the world today are fighting against one another in the mediums of radio, print and television for the attention and business of consumers. However, they each do and say the same thing, no matter what product they are selling. For many companies this has proven very effective but for smaller businesses that have yet to make their mark on the world, they will generally not generate substantial amounts of revenue, or garner the attention they were hoping for via these types of marketing advertisements. Additionally, in some cases smaller businesses can’t afford to even begin to compete against the major brands and companies due to the fact that they don’t have enough...
Flying banners-bright and colorful
A flying banner is an aerial message that is pulled by a small plane. There are several reasons why this type of promotion gets people’s attention. • Bright, eye catching: the ads are bright and colorful. They compel the viewer to look at them until they are gone. This gives over 17 seconds of exposure to your ad. The colorful flying banner sticks in the viewer’s mind making it easy to remember. • Novel: Aerial advertising offers a brand new face to advertising and a refreshing change to saturated consumers. Instead of purposely avoiding the ad they will follow the flying banner until it is out of sight. • Is not pushy: most ads are annoying to the consumer and are considered just a...

Ford Mustang Magic - A Legend is Born
Ford Motor Company introduced the Mustang on what was then the world's largest stage. Only the 1964 New York World's Fair had enough scale and drama worthy of the Mustang. Held in conjunction with the city of New York's 300th anniversary, it featured 140 pavilions over 646 acres. The Ford Company Pavilion was the Fair's largest attraction, nearly the size of three football fields. Guests entered while riding a "Magic Skyway," specially designed by The Walt Disney Company.

A green hybrid from an Italian icon? It seems a bit ludicrous, but the question of whether Ferrari is going to start building hybrids is not a joke. Ferrari may have no choice. The joke about high end sports cars is that if you have to ask how many miles to the gallon they get, you can't afford them. Put more directly, the top end performers are designed from performance. Fuel efficiency and emissions are not just downplayed, they are utterly irrelevant. At least they were. Ferrari is the classic high end sports car builder. It builds beautiful cars that simply blaze along the road. Of course, the cost of that is horrifically bad mileage and terrible emissions. Neither Ferrari nor the people buying...
A Guide to Photography at Donington Park
Right, so how to start this? A guide to taking photos at Donington Park. First of all - why? Well, Donington is my local circuit, I've been to it God knows how many times. I know it very well, especially from a spectator side of things. And also from a driving side of things. However, since I'm not a Formula 1 super star, I do not think I am qualified enough to give a guide on driving on Donington Park (apart from keeping on the black stuff. Car vs barrier, I'll let you guess who is going to win that one). Anyway, why write this article? Well, support you local race circuit as much as possible. Without spectators seeing the races, motorsport would sadly disappear from this country. The UK has a...

A New Defender From Land Rover
The automotive community sometimes gets a kick from rumours about new cars and related industry developments even in their early stages in the drawing boards of big name car makers. One of them comes from the Tata-owned Land Rover SUVs. The British-pedigreed road marque Land Rover is said to be working on a new sport utility vehicle (SUV) that will eventually supercede its iconic Defender. In a move akin to badgering Dad for an extra pocket money, the Jaguar Land Rover Company had asked owners Tata Motors for additional operational budget to design, develop and engineer what is presumably the next generation Defender successor. Though, admittedly, it is quite unlikely that the new SUV will carry the...
Aston Martin - Opportunities and Threats Under...

GM Loses Its Cool
A recent article in the Wall Street Journal decried the loss of style in products by American car companies, principally General Motors. The author commented on the trend of outsourcing the design and manufacture of its small cars and stated: "Detroit's eagerness to attach its famous brand names to cars that were designed elsewhere may have something to do with its downfall: Cars get us around, of course, but they also, in their look and feel, capture a cultural outlook, a spirit, even a national identity." Style corresponds to "cool" and cool cars sell. But GM and Ford, and certainly Chrysler are a little short on cool these days and have been for several decades. But it wasn't always that way...

How Did the Pickup Truck Evolve?

Today, new and used trucks are status symbols as well as working tools. Truck options range from being compact with two seats, to oversized models with king cabs. Just like the automobile, the pickup truck was first developed in the United States.

People still relied on horse-drawn open wagons and carts to carry around their heavy cargo. The automobile...

The first Dursenberg sports car was built by two self taught German born engineers in 1913 using the Duesenberg Automobile & company Inc brand name in Des Moines, Iowa USA. This hand built cars were in the league of the most desirable sports cars when they were introduced. In fact, the Dursenberg car won a number of races that includes the Indianapolis 500 and the French grand prix between 1921 and 1927. Even though this classic car model was a marvel during its hay days, it failed the mass production test because the company had no profitable sales volume so it became bankrupt and closed up.

2009 Jeep Compass - A Jeep for the Urban Jungle
Like the Dodge Caliber hatchback, also launched as a 2007 model, the Compass uses a continuously variable transmission (CVT) as an alternative to the standard five-speed manual gearbox.

Since a car's drivetrain like that on a Mercedes Benz only has the wheels to prop it up on the ground, a shocks and struts assembly called the suspension system reinforces the chassis and drivetrain in keeping the car stable in various drive applications.
