Summer is round the corner. Now is a good time to give your car a check-up, to make it ready for high temperatures. Check pressure in tires. Tire failure can be very dangerous. See if there is any damaged hose or torn belts. Make sure that the coolant has right mixture of water and coolant.You also need to check motor oil. Give a quick look at the emergency kit. There should be first aid kit, flash light and flares in it. Most important of all, keep your air conditioner in good condition. Your air conditioner will help to keep a cool head in blistering heat.A quick and easy automotive checkup can help prepare a vehicle for the stress of high temperatures and increase its reliability on long road trips.

Two of British luxury brands ; Bentley and Naim have collaborated to give car owners a world class car audio experience.for Bentley’ set to achieve world’s best in-car audio experience.
The system will have an 1100 Watt amplifier , which will be world’s most powerful production unit fitted in a car! They also set up, up to 15 speakers ,which depends on the model of the car.
At the risk of sounding a green peace activist (or something like that), shouldn’t we ponder on how much noise pollution it will create? But who cares, if I dole out a hell lot of money, I am entitled to enjoy the luxury with out guilt, right?
happy listening.

Maintenance is the mantra here. If you have bought a good car in the first place, and you follow the maintenance schedule in the Owner’s manual, then half of the work is done. Now all you have to do is to keep a keen eye on your car. Take good care of it, be attentive to strange noises or rumblings. Every work once in a while let someone else drive you to work. You get accustomed to your car, but others might easily notice, those faults that you may have overlooked. Don’t delay the fix ups. Otherwise problem will get worse. When making household budget, include repair funds in it. You should have some money saved for occasional denting and painting. And remember you are no car racing champion looking to compete in formula one, so drive like a normal human being.

An Indian company has launched the People’s Car yesterday. The interesting thing about this car, which is named Nano, is that it is priced at a very low rate. It’s cost is roughly $2500, which is way less than what we get here in US.
The company plans to make 250,00 initially and expects to sell 1 million annually. It’s already overbooked.The Indian auto market is very hot, as growth lifts incomes and wealth in the country. Ford, Nissan, Fiat, Suzuki, Renault are all planning to increase production in low budget car market.
I have two apprehensions here, Is Nano a viable car? At $2500, you can’t even get your production cost.Second point is that , if the Nano makes it big, what will happen of the environment and climate.Think of 10 million additional cars on Indian roads in five years!
