The scrappage scheme has not only breathed new life into the ailing UK car industry, it’s revived it beyond all expectations and is proving to be a real runaway success. Now, just three months into the government’s new “cash for bangers” initiative - which allows new car buyers to trade in used cars 10 years old or over for up to 2,000 pounds - more than half the money earmarked for the plan has already been spent.

The 300 pounds million subsidy scheme, which came into effect on May 18, was designed to cover 300,000 new cars and was expected to last until February next year. However, such has been the impact of the scheme that time is running out for new customers to take advantage of the 2,000 pounds incentive. More than 160,000 cars have all ready been sold, with sales expected to rise faster in September when new registration plates come out.

Industry experts and scrapyard dealers have therefore called for the government to extend the plan. John Proctor, of the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, said: “It’s done what it was intended to do. It’s boosted consumer confidence and got people back into the showroom. If it continues at the current rate of success the pot of money set aside for it is likely to run out before February. We need to let the scheme run its natural course and then get the Government to encourage the banks to provide greater help for the manufacturers.”

In practice, the scrappage scheme works by offering motorists an incentive of at least 2,000 pounds - half of which comes from the government and half from car manufacturers - to scrap a used car or van over 10 years old (registered on or before 31 August 1999) which can be used against the purchase of a brand new vehicle (weighing no more than 3.5 tonnes). A total of 38 car manufacturers have signed up to the recession-busting venture which has so far proved an overwhelming success. Figures released for July revealed that new car sales rose for the first time in 15 months, with more than a fifth (21%) coming from vehicles purchased under the scrappage scheme.

And apart from helping jump-start the struggling motor industry, the scheme has also had a positive effect on the environment, replacing heavily polluting old bangers with more eco-friendly and efficient new cars. According to the latest government figures, new cars bought under the scheme are emitting an average of 25 per cent less carbon dioxide than the model they have replaced.

Given such welcoming news, much has been said about the longevity of the scrappage scheme but the Government has insisted that it will not extend the plan beyond the current 300 pounds million advanced thus far. However, those in power may have to reconsider and investigate ways how they can top up the scappage fund as the benefits - to the car industry, supporting businesses and the environment - seem to make such a decision hard, if not impossible, to resist.

Traveling internationally can open your eyes, mind, heart and soul. The gorgeous vistas, cultures, food, music and people can unlock the mysteries within you and the world. Sometimes we travel on foot other times we travel in vehicles but if we have a specific vehicle we want to ride along with us during our travels we must prepare its departure along with ours.

International auto shipping

It’s important to find an international auto shipping company that can assist and support you in this endeavor; for it’s not easy to do on your own.

Allowing the company 7 to 14 days to complete the trip on their W-E runs can make the time frames quicker on specific routes, but a majority of time it takes approximately 20 to 30 days for shipping. Planning enough time for the company to ship your vehicle overseas is needed. International shipping companies will let you plan up to two months before departure however the carrier will need about two weeks in advance for the shipment. If one needs the vehicle in advance companies will work on an individual basis with priority. You are normally scheduled to pick up your vehicle within 2 or 3 days. If your destination is inaccessible to you the shipping company will ask the driver to get as close as possible to your desired location, and if you are not available to pick up your vehicle it may have to go to a terminal for you to get it, but having an alternative part or family member to pick and sign the car for you is also a good idea.

If you have any requests for a different time frame or delivery they’re most likely able to accommodate to your schedule; of course this will vary in the pricing forefront. Rates are determined by size and weight, and you can either prepay or pay in the country through one of their agents. Most international shipping companies allow you to pay with personal checks, cashiers’ checks, postal money orders, and major credit cards. Also it’s mandatory when shipping overseas that your gas tank should be as low as possible, for their convenience.

Some customers ask, since the car is going international, if they can pack personal belongings in the car. However, the Department of Transportation has ruled, as of 1998, that you may not leave or pack any items in your vehicle. All trucks are occasionally checked for items within the vehicles, and have the right to dispose of them. Household items and personal belongings are not allowed in vehicles, whether it is international or domestic. Your items are also not covered by carriers insurance so the risk of loading all your belongings in your vehicle isn’t a good idea. Also any damage that is made by the goods or items stuffed in your car is not covered. If items are loaded into the vehicles it adds more weight to your car; which can affect the international shipping carrier and their trucks. It can damage the loading and unloading of your vehicle causing harm to the suspension of your car.

T5 conversions are probably one of the most asked about modification for the older Mustangs. We are going to cover two areas of confusion. First, what year and model to look for. Second the ins and outs of actually doing the conversion.

Which T5 transmission do I need?

Through the years, Ford made many improvements and variants of this transmission. Actually Borg Warner made the improvements and then Tremec made some more. The T5 was introduced in the early 80’s. In 1985, the world class version was introduced and was used up to 1995. Each year, they were improved on increasing the torque capacities and quality. The 1994-95 models are basically the same internals as the prior years however, they have a longer input shaft making them not the way you want to go for this conversion. The 1986 to 1993 versions are the best for the swap. Little side note, 4 & 6 cylinder T5 will not work! These models have a very low torque capacity and different input shaft diameters.

Ford Racing now offers the M-7003-Z Heavy Duty model. 330 lb-ft and a steel input shaft retainer are some of the high lights of this transmission. This one by far is the best one to use.

One other note, Tremec offers other 5 speed options like the 3550, TKO, 400/600, etc. These models are heavily upgraded 5 speeds but are also re-designed for some serious horsepower applications. They are larger in size and require modification to the tunnel as well as a custom cross member. The T5 cross member will not work with these transmissions.

Ok, let’s look at the transmission up close. The input shaft is a standard 10 spline and compatible with the early 10″ and 10.5″ clutch disks. The front electrical plug is for a neutral safety unit that isn’t used when doing the swap.

On the driver’s side, half way down the housing is a 2 prong switch. You guessed it, back up light switch. This can be utilized to work but will require some electrical reworking.

Under the tail shaft housing on the driver side is the speedo cable opening. This is the same diameter as the older T-10, Top Loader, 3 speed, & c-4 autos. The speedo driven gear is still the old design and in some cases, compatible with the old ones. You will still probably need to change it to correct the speedometer reading.

The T5 is equipped with an internal shifter linkage. The shifter unit is conveniently located in the perfect spot. When installing the T5 into the older chassis, the shifter is centered in the shifter opening in the tunnel. You normally don’t have to modify the opening if the stock shifter unit is used. For some short throw shifters, you may need to notch the opening for clearance.

Installing your new T5 transmission:

Now that we are more familiar with the T5, let us see about actually installing one. First thing to evaluate is what you have to work with. If your car is already a manual transmission, you are ahead of the game. You can reuse all of your existing components like the clutch linkage, flywheel, clutch, & bell housing. Conversions from automatic or manual transmission vehicles will all need a new cross member, mount, and yoke.

Manual Transmission Conversion.
Manual transmission conversions use an adapter plate that attaches to the back of your original manual bell housing. When using the adapter, depending on what bell housing you have, you will need to transfer 2-3 holes into your bell housing. These are blank holes and do not require any tapping for threads. Using the spacer will also allow you to use the factory clutch, fly wheel, and linkage. This makes this option the cheapest way to go.

Automatic Transmission conversion.
The T5 bell housing is a better option. As long as you have a 289, 302, or a 351w with the 6 bolt pattern, the T5 bell housing will bolt directly to the block. This option opens up a lot of choices. You can set your car up with the factory styled linkage or go with one of the new cable conversions. If the original linkage is used, you will need to mount a fulcrum and spacer into the housing to support the old styled release fork. Now if the cable conversion is used, the housings already have the pivot mount for the late model release lever. The fly wheel that is needed would be a 10.5″ diameter 157 tooth flywheel from Ford Racing designed for a 10.5″ clutch. The Ford Racing Billet Steel fly wheel is a great choice for pre 1981 28oz balanced motors. You can utilize a 10.5″ clutch kit from a late model application. The clutches are thinner in design and require less travel to disengage. The block plate, (located between the block and the flywheel) will also need to be changed. The T5 housing relocates the starter so that the original plate will no longer line up.

Once you have bolted your T5 manual transmission into place, you need to install your cross member and mount. The T5 cross members are an easy bolt in. The 1965-66 model is equipped with the emergency brake bracket so there isn’t any modification needed.

Once the transmission mount and bracket are in, time to look at that driveshaft. Most applications will need to be shortened. There really is not a standard length. It is determined by the engine and rear end. Some of the different 3rd members will have a longer input and require less to remove. The best way is to get the transmission mounted in and the car either on the ground or supported by the rear axel so that it is in the natural position. Just measure the length required and allow for about 1″ of play at the end.

The T5 does require a different yoke. Some of the original yokes will fit into the tail shaft. As tempting as it is, don’t use it. The older yokes do share the same spline however the T5 yoke is shorter and does not extend so deep into the tail housing. The longer yoke can damage the tail bushing by restricting the flow of oil down the shaft.

Shifter Options.
What type shifter do you want? Unlike the late model mustangs, the shifter needs to be installed before it is installed. You can’t change it through the floor opening. There are many options to choose from. The factory shifter that the T5 comes with works fine but is a little sloppy for some people. The Steeda Tri-Ax shifter is a great choice and is a direct bolt on. It utilizes adjustable positive stops front and back so it may require you to notch the opening in the floor for clearance. A factory late model shift lever will work however they are a reach to hit 5th gear. We carry a new lever that bolts to the T5 and aftermarket shifters. This lever is longer and looks exactly like the 1965-67 4 speed handles with the reverse lock out. These are a great option for those who want to retain a stock or original look.

Another question that comes up is rear end gear selection. Our salesman Dennis currently owns a 1965 with a 5 speed as a daily driver. It was originally equipped with 2.79 gears. With a tire size of 225/50/15 on all four corners, it would be turning around 1700 RPM @ 70 MPH. This is great for freeway and long halls. Depending on your engine set up and power band, changing the gears may be a good idea. Currently Dennis’s mustang has 3.55 gears with the same size tire. With these gears, this mustang can turn about 2400 RPM @ 70MPH. This is great for all around driving and is a good compromise between acceleration and mileage.

We always get the question of what oil to use. The T5 does not use standard gear oil! It will damage the transmission. We recomend using Dextron 4. Dennis switched to the D4 and actually noticed easier shifting and less friction.

Over all, I would recommend this swap to anyone who enjoys driving and crusing in there classic mustang. It is a great way to increase the mileage and drivability of your car.

However, the most notable aspect of the exotic Ferrari is, of course, its speed. It has a V12 engine in the front and uses rear wheel drive, as well as driving with four camshafts and 50/50 weight distribution. This all adds up to the plain English translation: there is nothing stopping you on your next journey in a 456M GTA.

The long, successful life of the Chevy Caprice Classic was on display in various styles and designs, and it proved a real winner for the company from the time it debuted back in 1965 until it ended its run after the 1996 model. The car served GM well, and its many customers took to it with enthusiasm for four generations and a number of body and engine/transmission changes.

The Caprice Classic as a vehicle meant to appeal to as many buyers as possible couldn’t be said to have been other than a success, and it was Chevy’s most expensive full-sized vehicle from its creation, which the division worked hard to keep equipped with all the good things buyers in that segment came to demand from a big car.

For the first two generations (there were four in total) Chevy offered on 8 cylinder big and small-block powerplants. At the start of its third iteration, the company dropped an inline-6 into the mix in an attempt to improve fuel economy, though the car had never been able to brag at being much of a gas sipper prior to that. The most important change to the car up that point came in 1977, when it was completely redesigned and slimmed down in dimension.

The third generation proved to be as successful as the previous two, and was quite a big change over its ancestors, taking a cubed and boxy kind of shape that it would carry until 1990. Police everywhere loved the big Chevy for its body-on-frame build (which made it easy bump out and repair) and the rear wheel drive V8 layout and huge back seat.

The Chevy Caprice Classic, as a segment of the Caprice line, was always looked upon as the luxury model in the brood, and it sat at the top of the price list for Caprices for much of its life. The last generation of the car, rolled out in 1990, saw another complete redesign, even to the point of offering a detuned Corvette engine called the LT1. It was largely successful, and its futuristic, rounded shapes appealed to a number of buyers.

The Caprice Classic also strove to offer much in the way of interior room and was a favorite of consumers everywhere, though it eventually saw its sales numbers drop off as the car market segmented itself down into ever-smaller slices. This meant that it never reached sales levels of the 70s, when it was most popular and the 80s, though police departments continued to rave about its abilities.

Generally speaking, the Chevy Caprice Classic disappeared from the American market after the end of the 1996 model year. The nameplate, though, carries on over in the Middle East, where a Caprice Classic-badged model from a General Motors Australian subsidiary sells well. The big Chevy, as iconic a vehicle as Chevy has ever sold, played well to Americans for over three decades and is still missed by many.

Car transport, as an industry, has benefited greatly from the advent of the internet. The industry caters to customers who need to move a car across a country, or even across continents. The internet has helped the auto transport industry because it allows customers to digitally bypass car lots and shop online. Specific websites like Ebay, or those akin to it, make it possible for someone in Colorado — as an example — to browse for a particular car that a collector owns in New York. After purchasing that car, the company offering car transport in NY can deliver it in Colorado.

In order to perform this task for the customer the car transport in NY would need to do a few things:

First, they would need to inform their customers about their particular policies. Some car transport companies require that the car be dropped off at a terminal in order for the car to be shipped. Some also allow for the car being transported to be picked up at the car’s current location and dropped off at its destination. Also, nearly all companies, due to insurance procedures, will perform an inspection of the vehicle both before and after the car is transported in order to assess damage (the transporter’s insurance would cover any damage caused to the vehicle as a result of the transporting process). Regardless of what policies they have, the car transport company needs to be informative concerning them in order to avoid any unnecessary hassles with the customer.

Second, the company would need to establish the necessary route in order to deliver the car. Issues like narrow streets, overhanging passages with low clearance (e.g. bridges), and government regulations (e.g. weight limits) may prevent the transporters from delivering the car as scheduled. Customers of car transport companies can prevent this problem by simply informing the company of any of these restrictions and arrange to have an alternative drop off site established.

Third, the company would need to assign a trucker and load the car for transport properly. This step is crucial in order to protect the car being transported, and also to ensure a timely delivery of the car in transport.

And finally, the company would perform the delivery, hopefully without a problem. Upon the delivery of the car, the company would need to settle any disputes about the car’s condition and make necessary contact with the insurance companies they use to alleviate the customer’s grief.

Seat covers are a great idea for your car if you have a new car with leather seats that you want to protect. Seat covers are also a great option if you want to cover up old, worn car seats that take away from the appearance of your car’s interior. If you have ever checked with a car upholstery business about getting your seats redone, you also know this can be quite expensive.

Custom made seat covers are much different than the type that you find in your local department store. Seat covers bought off the shelf work ok to protect seats if you can keep them on the seats but they leave a lot to be desired. As far as the way they look they usually are ill fitting since they are made in a generic way to cover the seats of many different types of automobiles. Custom made seat covers are made to your specifications and look much like they came with the car.

You can get custom made leather seat covers like you find in high end cars for a fraction of the price of having your car interior redone by a professional. These leather seat covers are reasonably priced and very durable. They can do a lot to improve the looks of your car’s interior by covering up worn original seating. They will also protect the original seat which can improve your vehicle’s resale value.

If you are looking for comfortable, genuine sheepskin seat covers, it is possible to get these custom made too. Sheepskin seat covers are a great choice if you spend many hours driving on your job. These seat covers will also keep you cool in the summer and warm in the winter. A set of sheepskin car seat covers would be a great gift for a loved one that has to spend a lot of time in their car. You can also get sheepskin seat covers in many colors to match your car’s interior or the natural color is also available.

There are two basic types of seat covers in most automobiles: custom made bucket seat covers and bench seat covers. Many vehicles have a combination of the two, with a bench seat in the back being very common. Depending on the material you choose for your seat covers, you can redo your front and back seats for less than four hundred dollars which is a lot less expensive than having your seats professionally recovered.

An advantage to using seat covers for protection of your original car seats is that most are washable. This is especially helpful if you have children or you smoke or eat in your car. You might be interested in a fabric seat cover such as velour if you are interested in being able to wash your seat covers. Always check the tag for the instructions before washing to make sure that your seat covers are washable. Many times they are but you will need to air dry the seat covers to prevent shrinkage. Taking proper care of your new custom seat covers will ensure many years of protection for your car’s interior.

The 2007 Chevy Tahoe has long been a widely respected and highly successful SUV. Before size SUV from the popular American company, General Motors, it was originally very similar the GMC Yukon that was originally introduced back in 1992. The Chevy Tahoe itself was produced in 1995 under that name and still remains in production.

While the original GMC Yukon was the predecessor for the Tahoe, it was introduced to the public in 1992. This was only a two doors version but in 1995 with the coming of the new Chevy Tahoe, there was a four door version. Having undergone numerous redesigned and overhauls, the product start to change dramatically by 1999.

The next generation, beginning in the year 2000, the vehicle was completely redesigned. All the vehicles in the line received significant updates but they were very largely similar with a few aesthetic variations. They also came as some advanced in car entertainment systems, often found in luxury vehicles, including stability control, Bose audio and a DVD entertainment system.

Because were also known for their luxury. After the year 2000, marking the next generation of the product, high quality audio systems and DVD entertainment was included in the car. Stability control was also introduced along with a number of other luxury features.

The cars were considered fairly luxury, coming with an abundance of extra features which make them especially comfortable and pleasant family and touring cars. Some of models introduced in the year 2000 included stability control, high powered audio systems and DVD Entertainment.

The hybrid version allowed for electrical power as an alternative method of power in the car. However, it could also run and gasoline or even a mixture of the two by using an advanced automatic system. The automatic system monitored the vehicle’s torque, providing an efficient and environmentally friendly way of power in the car.

The car is widely used in a number of foreign countries including Brazil where it was sold under a similar name. It is also being sold for law enforcement agencies and other government organisations. The police use both a combination of two wheel drive and four wheel drive models.

The current Chevy Tahoe enjoys being the only SUV in the world rated for pursuit. This is one of the reasons it is used in law enforcement agencies as it is efficient, reliable and safe. It has long enjoyed a special reputation for these three factors and continues to be produced.

There are over 181,000 kilometers of public roads in Alberta. The Yellowhead Highway (Winnipeg-Edmonton-Prince Rupert-Vancouver) and Highway 2 (USA-Calgary-Red Deer-Edmonton-North Alberta) are the two main roads that serve Alberta. If you are considering making Alberta your home or planning on traveling throughout the province for business or pleasure, you should be aware of the many rules and features associated with driving on Alberta’s roads.

To drive in Alberta, one is required to have a driver’s license. You can apply for a learner’s license from age 14. There are seven classes of license in Alberta. Class 7 is the learner’s license. To obtain a driver’s license, you will not only have to pass a road driving test, but also a vision and written test. Once you have obtained a driver’s license, you are legally mandated to obey all of Alberta’s traffic laws. If you are caught violating traffic laws such as speeding, you will be fined. Alberta Highways have a speed limit of 100 km/h (62 mph). The exception is in the Rocky Mountain National Parks which have speed limits of 90 km/h (56 mph) because of the high number of wildlife crossings the roads. Most rural highways and roads have a speed limit of 80 km/h (50 mph).

It is important to note that infant car seats are mandatory in Alberta. As well, a new law is planned that will ban distracting activities while driving. Distracting activities can include talking on a cell phone, texting, shaving… etc. Statistics have revealed that “driver error was a factor in 90% of 158,055 Alberta crashes last year.” As well, according to the province’s Transportation Ministry, “rural highways and streets were the site of 70 per cent of the 376 fatal collisions in Alberta last year.”

In Alberta, the Traffic Safety Act and regulations under the Act cover driver training and driver examinations, demerit points, inspections, and commercial vehicles. Alberta requires vehicle safety inspections for all vehicles on the road.

All motor vehicles and trailers in Alberta have to be licensed before they are allowed on the road. As well, all motor vehicles in Alberta must have a public liability insurance policy. The minimum liability insurance in Alberta is $200,000. You are required to have proof of your insurance when registering a vehicle.

Alberta has a Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) program to license new drivers. The purpose of the program is to help new drivers acquire the skills and experience required for driving a vehicle safely. Driver licenses from all countries are valid in Alberta for up to three months. An International Driving Permit that can be acquired in one’s native country is valid in Alberta for one year.

The Alberta Government recommends that drivers have snow tires when traveling in the province in late fall, winter, or spring. They also suggest that drivers should have anti-freeze, warm clothing, and food and water when crossing through mountain passes.
Alberta is a great place to travel by car. It contains diverse scenery such as the Rocky Mountains, Banff National Park, many beautiful open spaces, and much more. When traveling by car in Alberta, it is important to be aware of the province’s driving rules and regulations.
