Seagulls are a part of living by the sea, and I love their angry cries and swooping flight, but they also bring problems. My good lady has a Mazda 2 which is her pride and joy, and over the past weeks it has been the target of many bombing raids by breeding gulls, She tries very hard to remove any deposits as soon as possible but recently scratched a door quite badly by not using enough water. Seagulls eat grit to help to digest their food and this can result in real problems if you try to clean your car without washing the area thoroughly.
I tried several products to polish out the damage to the lacquer but to no avail and so decided to invest in the highly rated Farecla G3 Professional scratch remover. I was completely astonished by the results achieved with this product, after only a few minutes the door looked like new. and my wife was happy again!
The Engineered Diminishing Abrasive particles in G3 Scratch Remover break down consistently and reduce in size as you remove the scratch or scuff, finally turning into a smooth wax polishing fluid. This means it won’t harm your bodywork. A 500ml bottle of this magic liquid costs only £8.35 from Amazon, click on the logo to get some now!
The 2012 edition of the excellent MX5 Parts catalogue has just been released. MX5 Parts is the premier independent supplier of accessories and spares for our favourite sports car. Their website is comprehensive but has so much stuff it can be hard to appreciate the full range of items on offer. The company therefore produces a paper colour brochure and also a PDF version which is very easy to read. You can download the PDF version by clicking on the brochure picture above, or order a free paper copy by following the link below:
Perhaps you have already tried these tests to see just how quick your MX5 really is, or maybe you are like me and love your car too much to risk breaking it! Whichever way you feel these short amateur films give you an idea of the performance of the latest MX5 2 ltr sport tech model without leaving the safety of your armchair!
Two things you don’t want to happen while driving your 8000bhp funnycar at 260mph:
1. The bodywork to come off
2. The engine to explode
Which is pretty unfortunate for drag racer, Matt Hagan, because that’s precisely what happened during qualifying for the Four-Wide Nationals in Charlotte, North Carolina. Hagan’s marginally terrifying funny car dropped an intake valve into one of its cylinders, launching big lumps of engine and bodywork across three of the four race lanes.
Amazingly, he was completely unharmed, affording him the opportunity to get in a massive great big strop after the crash. Which seems perfectly reasonable – this is the third consecutive year that Hagan’s been involved in an explosion at the Four-Wide Nationals
