Reckless Motor Sport

What a start to the new year the Reckless Motor Sport Project VL should have the motor in by next week. Its been a long process and we are looking forward to giving the vl a test run

Last year i recieved an email contaning a short video of a guy driving a Subru WRX at an air field. The driver was amazing. The part that got me was him doing donuts around a guy riding a Segway. After being amazed i closed the email and never thought nothing of it again until yesterday.

I stated reading Wheels Magazine and an article caught my eye. The guy Driving in that video last year was Ken Block USA Rally Car Champ.

Now i’m not a big reader but the article was great i was amazed to also find out that Ken Block also started the DC Shoe company.

Ken Blocks videos are unbeliveable have a look at Wheels Mag or Ken Blocks Web Site

Drving through Cudgen Northern NSW I got to see the camps setting up for the up and comming Repco Rally on the 3 - 6 of September 3009. The only thing that got me anoyed that moring was the protesters waving signs around.

The protest, one of many expected to be held during the event which is expected to pump more than $30 million into the local economy, is to be held at Service Park in Cudgen.

I personal think events like this are great for the local economy and will bring alot of jobs and money for local business to the local Tweed Aera. I.m looking forward to the Race and hope that the local protesters don’t do to much to distrupt the event and cause problems to the local business and community

With over 14 million registered vechicles across Australia there is no doubt we’re a nation of car lovers. However we are also becoming increasingly ‘greener’, keen to reduce our environmental footprint and aware of the impact driving has on habitats, air poloution and climate disruption.

The first street directory of its kind in Australia, the UBD 09 Green Brisbane, Gold Coast & Sunshine Coast Refidex is aiming o help shape the way consumers think about transport and the environment and how they use their cars now and in the future.

ndrew Ford, UBD Marketing Manager, said the Green UBD is about encouraging Australians to ‘get out and be greener’ as it gives people practical advice on ways they can be more environmentaly conscious, without changing their lifestyle.

“The Green UBD Street Directory initiative was launched in response to Ausrtralian drivers becomming increasingly aware about the impact that their driving is having on the environment,” said Mr Ford.

According to the AAMI Green Motoring Index, 54% of drivers in Queensland will consider the environment when buying a car, while 44% are likely to adjust their behaviour to reduce the environmental immpact of their driving.

The new UBD 09 Green Brisbane, Gold Coast & Sunshine Coast Street Directories are just like the original UBD only greener, printed on 100% recycled paper with soy based ink and the cover is 100% biodegradable..

UBD’s latest director also includes a ‘Guide to Getting about Green’, developed with the support of Australian environmental agencies.

“Transport is part of our daily routine; however it is one of many areas that we can approach differently in the next decade. The ‘Guide to Getting Greener’ suggests ways we can make a difference to the environment taking into consideration our different travel needs and lifestyles” Said Mr Ford.

Environmental advocate and ‘Do Something’ Chairman Jon Dee says that although car dependency is unlikely to change in the short term, initiatives like the Green UBD give conscious consumers ideas to help them reduce the environmental impacts of their driving. Its great to see organisations nationwide increasingly offering more green choices and soloutions, be it for forr, living or travel. Buying the UBD Green Directory gives people the choice to try a greener alternative. The UBD focuses on soloutions, giving people simple steps, tips and minor changes that they can eaisly action to reduce their environmental footprint.

“When reading the Green UBD tip sheet, i was surpised to learn that properly inflating your tyres and regularly servicing your car can save up to 10% on your fuel consumption!” Mr Dee said. “The good news is that making small changes like this will save money as well as the environment”.

With a price of $34.95, the UBD 09 Green Brisbane, Gold Coast & Sunshine Coast Refidex is available from department stores, newsagents, automotive stores, bookshops or your local service station.

One important thing to remember when purchasing your new UBD is to recycle it - dont just dump it visit Recycling Near You for more information on your nearest recycling outlet.

Just went on a working holiday to Perth.

What a great city hired a car from a well known car hire company and had a baby seat fitted. The seat could be moved from side to side which i though wasn’t very safe. I procedded to tell the installer this and was given the comment that it was safer then a normal person sitting in the front.

We left the car hire company in the unsafe seat and called the company back they asked me to go to another depot where they would fix the seat. I get to the depot and i’m told the exact samething that this is the best option available.

Below are some pics email any comments also if anyone knows do you have to have a baby seat installation authorised in an states like you do in NSW?

Its that time of Year Summernats has started. So if your down in Camberra check it out its on from Jan 1 to the Jan 4
