Delorean

The DeLorean is coming back to the present, thanks in large part to Back to the Future. The DeLorean DMC-12 is one of the most iconic cars of all time. Now, the gull-winged cars are going back into production – this time with a 300 to 400 hp engine, and up-rated tires. The original DeLorean cars went into production in 1981, but only 9,000 were made before the company went bankrupt in early 1983. There are few other cars that had such a brief lifespan and such a lasting impact. The DeLorean was only originally in production for less than two years. However, in that brief period it gained cult status and became an unlikely symbol for fictional time travel thanks to the Back To The Future trilogy. Now, more than 30 years later, the car that was immortalized in 1985’s Back to the Future is to be brought back into limited production – next year.

Happy 2016 Readers! I know we are coming to the end of January, which means for a lot of us that we are coming to the end of our new year good intentions. I know I always start off truly believing that I will go to the gym at least three times a week and cut down on my caffeine intake, but then I pass a cafe and before I know it I’m halfway through a large flat white with pastry crumbs over my face. Oh well, it’s the thought that counts, right? Well when it comes to something that you should stay resolute on, it’s your car maintenance.

Your car can act as your saviour, your workplace and your means of transportation. It is the second most important possession you own – after a home. Whether this is a labor of love, or you’re planning on upgrading your vehicle and want the best deal you can get, there’s no harm in getting your car to its peak condition.

Driving Home For Christmas: Road Safety During The Holidays

The holidays should be a break away from work and stress; a time to relax with family and friends. Unfortunately, many of us have had our lives affected by road accidents at this time of the year.

The reason all the Government bodies and motor websites are advising road safety, is because the statistics prove that accidents are always increased around the holidays.  You only have to turn on the TV or radio to hear warnings from police and other community bodies in the lead-up to the holidays to know that it is a dangerous time on our roads.

It’s no wonder, we’re rushing around, shopping for food and presents – which we’ve left to the last minute again – we’re catching up with old friends, partying with work colleagues, we’re often too busy concentrating on enjoying this time of the year to be safe. Many of us might be travelling long distances to stay with family or friends. With more people on the roads and most maybe being  a bit careless, the need to be cautious on the roads is of paramount importance.

Although we are a an Accident Repair Group, we don’t want you or any of your loved ones to become just another statistic this year. We want you to make it home this season.

So when you’re driving this season, please me mindful of our road safety tips:
