Haynes Desk Diary 2009

Posted by caroline  Published in Automotive, Books, Cleaning accessories, Maintenance Manuals

Haynes Publishing has put together a must-have Desk Diary for 2009.

You can be amazed all year round in 2009 with this very fine publication,hardcover bound with an MG Sports car depicted on the cover. Maybe you owned a Hillman Imp (August), or a BMW E3 saloon (December); or, you know someone who did.

Haynes Publishing has put together a must-have Desk Diary for 2009. One week to view,there is a planner for each month which has dedicated to it an incredible cutaway illustration of a classic car from the 1960s,1970s,or 1980s. Represented in Terry Davey’s unmistakable style are the Peugeot 205 (January),Ford Escort Mexico (February),Datsun 280 ZX (March),Rover 3500 (April),Pontiac Firebird(May), and seven more. There is short history that goes with each monthly illustration which tell of models,engines and relevant dates,and other fascinating information for the motoring enthusiast.

Terry Davey worked for Haynes Publishing for 40 years, a period which included the last decades of the twentieth century. His amazing cutaways were drawn in pen and ink,using the basic draughtsman’s tools for curves and lines.

There is short history that goes with each monthly illustration which tells of models,engines and relevant dates,and other fascinating information for the motoring enthusiast.

Eco-friendly car wash says what it is on the bottle

Posted by caroline  Published in Cleaning accessories

It is an environmentally-friendly miracle dry car wash which requires no water for its application!

Apply the washing compound to the surface of you car with a cloth and allow to dry.The dirt is ‘lifted’ within the now dry compound and can simply and with little effort be wiped-off with another cloth. Does that sound good. AutoExpress, the weekly car magazine thought so,recently strongly recommending this eco friendly product which is part of a wide range of Ecover products for car and home.

At £14.95 for 500ml,you have enough for seven car  ’washes.’ So leave that hose pipe with a mind of its own in the garage,avoid having to dress-up like a North Sea trawler man ,save gallons of water, and leave your car with a bright polished surface using the miracle waterless car wash which can be ordered online from the Big Green Smile people
