Choosing the right motorcycle clothes

2011-08-09T14:02:50Z

There’s nothing quite like driving a Scooby, except that is perhaps for riding a motorbike. A Subaru and a motorbike actually have a few things in common, mostly to do with the thrill the driver, or rider, gets from being part of a powerful driving/riding machine.

If you’re into motorbike riding, you’ll need to make sure you’re protected if you have the occasional spill or if other drivers on the road don’t give you the respect you deserve. And the best way to do this is to wear the right motorbike clothes.

Every biker knows that having the right motorbike clothing is essential. And it’s not just safety that matters, style matters too.

Cruiser bike boots are back in fashion. The boots adopt a more classically styled look but can fit into any cruiser rider’s style statement. Cruiser boots are available in brown or black and some even come with fringing to accentuate the look.

Men’s cruiser jackets are another great motorcycle fashion item. Coming in an array of styles complete with or without fringing, the jackets can be fitted with integral body armour which can mould to the wearer’s body contours, making them comfortable and safe.

Modify your car with cash from your bingo winnings

Your Subaru Impreza is likely to be your pride and joy. Most people who own an Impreza love looking after it and spend a good deal of time making sure their car is in top condition. Sometimes this means getting your hands on some car accessories that make your car perform better and will also make it more attractive and more comfortable.

Making the most of your Impreza with car accessories is a great idea, but it does mean you’ll have to spend a bit more on your car. This is something you may be fully prepared to do, but your bank balance might not let you spend as much as you’d like!

If that’s the case then why not look into online bingo as a way of winning money to buy car accessories for your car? Just think of the accessories and gadgets you could buy if you won a jackpot online!

Play Mecca Bingo to see if you can get a bit of good luck to pay for the modifications you want to make to your car. Cash prizes at Mecca Bingo are excellent and they could just make the difference to your car, allowing it to stand out from the rest.

Brits Turn to Subaru when it snows

2011-03-21T17:14:56Z

With the warning of possible snow falling this week Subaru UK must be hoping that more Brits will consider purchasing one of their models to help beat the hazardous wintery conditions.
I recently discovered that in December last year when the weather across the UK was absolutely atrocious, the official Subaru website received a 57% increase in visitors.
These figures are based on the same period in 2010 when the manufacturers UK sight received a record number of hits. However, on Monday the 20th December the number of internet visitors soared by 135%.
Looks like us Brits wish they had a Subaru to cope with extreme weather conditions.

I do hope though that we don’t experience those conditions again this week.

If Only

2011-03-11T16:37:30Z

With a staggering £68 million jackpot up for grabs on Friday’s Euro Millions lottery, I’ve started to dream (I’m sure that I’m not the only one) about what car(s) I would buy.
Obviously I would be buying a couple of supercars but which ones. Well, Aston Martin has recently revealed the new Virage which looks absolutely stunning and with a V-12 producing 490hp it’ll be quick as well.
The next cars to consider would be the new 700hp Pogani Huayra which is replacing the Zonda and the new Lamborghini Aventador.
Both cars look awesome with the Lamborghini able to reach 217mph due to its new 6.5-litre V12 pumping out a colossal 700hp and 509lb ft of torque mated to Lamborghini’s Independent Shift Rod (ISR) transmission.
Meanwhile the Pagani will also produce 700hp from it’s 6.0-litre, twin-turbo Mercedes-AMG V12 engine. However the Huayra hints at a top speed of over 230mph!

Forester S

2011-03-22T17:22:06Z

I’ve Just read that Subaru have debuted the new Forester S-Edition in Australia with Subaru-Australia. It will be released in the UK later this year and it looks awesome.
It’s been heavily influenced by the Impreza WRX as it features a turbocharged 2.5 litre engine producing 193 Kilowatts of power, 347 Nm of torque with a five-speed STI paddleshift automatic transmission. Looks like the engine has basically come straight out of the WRX, which can only be a massive positive?
For a limited period you’ll even be able to have painted in the exclusive WR blue.

The car is a combination of the best of what Subaru has to offer so is bound to popular. Pre-order yours now.

Lucky B*****d

2011-03-17T17:06:54Z

Due to the current economic climate and the rediculous price of fuel I have had to keep hold of my 11 year cheap run a round and hold off buying the Subaru I really want because it’s taking longer to save up the cash.
However, a lucky punter from Oxford won a brand new four-door WRX-STI as part of a competition organised by Subaru.
The competition required entrants to submit a written article explaining which vehicles their dream garage would consist of. Apparently the judges were looking for passion and knowledge.
What really annoyed me was that the winner was especially delighted that the car had four doors which made it practical for his two young children! Since when was practicality have anything to do with a Subaru WRX producing 300PS, a top speed of 158mph and capable of hitting 62mph in 5.2 seconds?

Maybe I’m just jealous……

Power and practicality combined

2010-11-24T15:08:48Z

One of the best things about driving a Subaru Impreza is that you don’t actually have to sacrifice some of the more practical considerations of owning a car for enhanced performance. For instance, an Impreza has plenty of room for the family and considerable boot space.

You can even get Subaru Impreza Estates which help you to experience a really great drive and peerless power at the same time as being able to fit your dogs in the back. It’s always good to know that some cars marry up your practical issues and your love of really impressive, fast motors.

Buying a second hand Impreza

2010-11-16T15:25:28Z

If you’re looking for a second hand Subaru Impreza then make sure that you cover all the basics before you buy. Check the condition of the car thoroughly inside and out and make sure that the seller has a full service history. This will give you a bit more confidence when you buy.

If you are getting your car from a dealership then it is worth asking about aftercare in case they have any special offers in place for their customers. You can also run a search on the car’s registration to make sure that it hasn’t got a dodgy past.

Anticipation mounts regarding Subaru concept

2010-11-16T15:18:37Z

The LA Auto Show is on its way and Subaru has kept relatively quiet about its appearance. However, a few details have emerged about a new concept that the Japanese manufacturer has been working on.

The Concept in Motion will be revealed at the show, although Subaru is remaining tight-lipped about what the car will look like. Speculation is rife, with many expecting the new concept car to be a new incarnation of the flagship Subaru Impreza. Meanwhile, the manufacturer has been working with Toyota recently to produce a brand new coupe.

We are eagerly awaiting the first pictures of the concept car as soon as the show starts.
