Automotive Photography Information Tips

The Pirelli calendar is one that’s eagerly awaited by all and sundry involved with automotive matters and excellent photography, but ‘sundry’ rarely ever gets to own a copy. Even so, there is always keen interest in both the models, the photographer/s shooting this exclusive calendar, and how the models are depicted in the calendar.
One of the most striking, and yet subtle, calendars from this tyre company came several years ago when the tyre tread pattern was tastefully depicted as an element of the whole image. This time around, the thirty-fifth, Pirelli has a more commercial motive behind the choice of models – Pirelli’s increased presence in China with the opening of a new tyre plant. So, along with the inclusion of Chinese models in the calendar, the theme of the calendar focuses on Shanghai, along with its teahouses and former colonial areas.
The photographer is Patrick Demarchelier, originally from the small French sea town of Le Havre. He is possibly most well known as being Princess Diana’s official photographer – historic because he was the first non-Brit to photograph the royal family. This is Demarchelier second time as the Pirelli calendar photographer – the first was in 2005 in Rio de Janeiro in exotic, sultry Brazil.
The 2008 edition has (disappointingly for those expecting a skin show) 23 portraits, the odd number due to August having just one. The selected models include Agyness Deane and Lily Donaldson (UK), Doutzen Kroes (the Netherlands), Catherine Mc Neil and Gemma Ward (Australia), Sasha Pivovarova (Russia), Coco Rocha (Ireland) and Caroline Trentini (Brazil). The Chinese beauties are Mo Wan Dan, Du Juan and Maggie Cheung, the latter is an actress known for her roles in Chinese and English films like Police Story, Super Cop, Actress, Chinese Box and others.
Du Juan, whose name means both the Azalea flower and the Cuckoo bird, was the first Asian model to grace the cover of French Vogue. Mo Wandan was born in Guangdong Province, China. She trained in track and field, but quit after injury. After she participated in, and won, the China Model Star Contest in 2004, she was signed on by a modeling agency.
You’ve just won the lottery, or suddenly discovered a great inheritance. Whatever the reason – the important thing is that now you’re rich. But there’s a catch, there always is. It’s not what you’re thinking though – you don’t have to sell your soul, far from it in fact. The only condition is that you have no choice but to spend all the money in a single year, and no safe investments allowed either.
Now you can really rub your hands with delight – you may actually enjoy this yet. If you like to travel the world, and have even a hint of petrol in your veins, here are a few good tips on how you can make the most of it:
Another legend of the sport and multiple F1 champion, Sir Jackie Stewart, termed the infamous Nurburgring – ‘the Green Hell.’ At the time, the track was both revered and anticipated for the challenge it presented, but also dreaded for the threat it posed. Sir Jackie, a forceful proponent for safety during his time in F1, once exclaimed that if he were ever to go around the track slowly, and in doing so notice the real dangers it posed, he may never race there again.

What’s a good and reasonably priced GPS automotive system?
I was thinking about purchasing the Garmin Streetpilot c340 because of the great reviews for it and the closely updated maps, however I found out that the website has discontinued the product. It made me unsure of whether or not I wanted to purchase it. Is there another closely updated GPS automotive device that is reasonably priced that you would recommend?
Answer
Check out the Nuvi series Garmin GPS. It looks as though they use the same UI as the c300 series Streetpilots, and are very capable devices.

Automotive Security Systems
May 11, 2010 by stuart
Filed under Automotive
When it comes to the security and protection of your car, sometimes there is no such thing as too much. There are various types of automotive security systems out there, each of them possessing their own good qualities and features. Finding the right one for your vehicle protection needs will take some time and research but like buying any product, it is worth it. Never buy the first security system that a salesperson throws at you. It’s a major investment that has to be perfect otherwise it’s just pointless.
The first thing that you must do is establish what type of security you need. A car that is older and has little value may not need the same kind of protection that a fancy new car will need. There is simply no sense paying for something that you don’t want or need. Look into the various types of alarm systems to see what fits for you. Price will play a big part in this too since a higher end system will have more features but will also cost more.
A basic alarm system is the audible type that sets off a loud alarm when the vehicle is tampered with. Sometimes that is all that it takes to scare off a would be thief. This type of system is great for those that just want a little extra protection without all of the additional features available. There are other systems that don’t make any noise at all. Instead they send you a quiet alert like a page or text message. Then you know something is up with your car. If you can’t get to it fast though this may not be a good choice. There are other systems that will immobilize your ignition so that the car itself cannot be stolen. This is quickly becoming a popular choice.
If you prefer, you can get a combination of the three different types of alarm but this can get expensive. That’s why you should always shop around and speak to a number of different alarm system dealers before making a final choice. Not only do you need to consider price but you should also be asking about warranty on parts as well as installation. Get all of this information in writing, including prices quoted to you for different systems.
You must keep in mind that certain things can make your car a target for thieves. If you have a heavily customized ride with fancy tires, rims and other accessories, an alarm system may not be enough. These kinds of cars simply get targeted more because thieves can sell off parts like rims very quickly. If you have a customized car, the safest bet is to keep it in a garage out of sight.
Ask around about certain security products and services before choosing one. Customer reviews are a great way to learn about items that you are unsure of. Word of mouth advertising remains the best form. Do your research and take your time. Security for your car is important and should be done right the first time.

$8,000 cash. The Carfax says the car is “clear”..
I know they will never sell for that price but a brand new Kia Rio is $8,000 with a 5 year warranty and it runs great and is fun to drive. That is not always true for a 2003 car..

Indian Automotive Suppliers Have a Promising Future
May 7, 2010 by stuart
Filed under Automotive
I will not be the first one to say that Indian automotive suppliers have a promising future; analysts from consultancies, big and small, have already stated that in many of their glitzy presentations to present and propsective clients. What I am observing is a trend that is getting stronger and stronger.
OEM purchase managers across the world no longer look at India and move on, the idea is now to have a deeper look at whats happening here. But more than OEMs, it is the Tier I and some Tier II suppliers that are taking a very deep interest in India. These are the companies hardest hit by rising costs and a slump in the North American industry. For them Indian companies are ‘White Knights’, as put by one of the leading pink papers recently.
Surely, a dependable Indian supplier catering to a part of any program will mean significant cost reduction. Good for business is that Indians speak English and realize very quickly which side of the toast is buttered. Fortunately, they can also be trusted with things like drawings and blueprints, unlike the Ming and Han dienasties.
The general feeling amongst global automotive executives is one of making India a sourcing hub. In a recent Roland Berger – SupplierBusiness survey of global automotive supplier executives, a high percentage of them listed India as the most promising destination for outsourcing. China matters too but the enthusiasm there is about the market, for India it is all about getting things done here.

Changes Coming to the Canadian Automotive Market
April 29, 2010 by stuart
Filed under Automotive
The Canadian vehicle market has taken on an identity of its own over the last 15 years. Unlike their American counterparts, Canadians typically took the avenue of finding a new vehicle as appose to buying previously owned. This was by far most apparent in the automotive sector where 3 out of every 4 cars sold were considered “New.” However, today brings uncertain times with a declining and uncertain economy every industry has felt the effects.
The Canadian Automotive sector is seeing quite the transformation in that the popular leases of the past are being phased out by franchised dealers in favour of financing. GMAC Club and Chrysler Financial have discontinued leases throughout North America. Ford Motor Credit hasn’t exactly taken the same approach; they have instead increased their lease rates to the point that no one could even afford them. We must ask ourselves why? For starters, dealerships have seen too many lease terminations due to missed payments and in turn have now become stuck with an abundance of unexpected off lease vehicles in their inventory. Even more pressing is the difficulty that dealerships are having in trying to sell any cars in these scarce economic times. Furthermore, from a funding standpoint, money isn’t as readily available due to the deteriorating credit of the finance arms and their parent automakers. This has made for a very difficult situation in the automotive sector and has instantly transformed the Canadian automotive market. In the U.S.A. one out of every four cars sold is used, Canadians should begin to anticipate similar sales ratios.
Research into the Canadian consumer has provided some interesting findings:
· Canadian consumers tend to be more risk averse than their counterparts in other markets.
· They are also more cost-conscious, with monthly payments a major driving factor behind purchase decisions.
· They tend to keep vehicles longer than in the United States, resulting in a less active used vehicle market.
The economy has initiated a dramatic, yet necessary change. Canadians will no longer be able to afford monthly payments and as leases conclude over the next 3 years an abundance of consumers will have to turn to the used vehicle market to find a vehicle they can readily afford.
Consumers now more than ever are shopping online for previously owned vehicles. Selection has been key to shopping in the past; however today new services exist the help buyers find the vehicle that promises to be right for them. The market, which was dominated my the Auto Trader brand has taken on new life with a company dedicated to finding potential buyers quality used vehicles. Using the provision of information, Vehicle Gateway Corp. has launched .vehiclegateway.com to introduce an interface that meets the needs and wants of today’s consumers. Vehicle Gateway has been designed around the provision of information; private sellers’ and dealers’ will now have to include Vehicle Identification Numbers, Certification status, full descriptions, condition reports, multiple photos, video’s allowing buyers to hear vehicles operate as well as provide accident history and include reasons for selling the vehicle. This abundance of information will allow users to decipher through an abundance of ads to find the vehicle that not only meets their needs in terms of type, make, model or year, instead buyers can now go beyond this in finding the vehicle that’s past and present meets up to their respective standards.
In turn, http://www.vehiclegateway.com anticipates weeding out those vehicles of inferiority, sellers’ will become nervous to advertise with Vehiclegateway.com for fear that the information provided would counteract the sale of their vehicle(s). Now inexperienced buyers will not only know the questions to ask, but answers will already be provided. This ultimately empowers the consumer and therefore makes for a more honest and less apprehensive buying process. In addition to the information provided, tools such as CarFax’s Vehicle History reports provide full disclosure for prospective buyers and ultimately will live consumers with greater piece of mind when it comes down to the sale. In America, Vehicle History Reports are said to be in over 75% of pre-owned vehicles transactions. With even an even more risk averse nation combined with the anticipated growth of the secondary vehicle market, Vehicle Gateway Corp. believes that tomorrow’s transaction will likely include the use of vehicle history reports. Vehicle Gateway truly provides “Information you need. Vehicles you want.”
http://www.vehiclegateway.com promises to be in the buyer’s corner to ensure a quality used vehicle purchase. Buying a lemon is something nobody should ever have to experience, http://www.vehiclegateway.com hope to help you avoid buying a lemon when purchasing a used car, used truck, used boat, used pwc, used motorcycle, used snowmobile, used 4 wheelers or classics cars.

How much am I really worth to my dealership as an automotive service advisor?
I got incredibly lucky and got hired in September at Chrysler through a temp. agency as a service advisor. I knew little to nothing about cars, but they were more concerned about getting somebody who could learn the computers system quickly while providing solid customer service.
I learned everything quickly, even the car stuff, and was just moved up to Toyota, which means more volume and more customers. I am still making 9 dollars an hour through the temp. agency.
The only commission I get is the 5 bucks I get when customers get a menu service like a transmission, coolant, or fuel service. (I’ve only gotten 19 of those in almost three months.)
I am just a couple of weeks from my 90-day review, and I was just wondering what you think I should actually expect to be paid. I have a college degree and a high average per repair order. (One thing to consider when answering is that I do not live in a big city; however, it is not a small town either. I write almost 500 repair orders per month.)
I probably won’t get the typical salary + commission structure that advisors get in a big city, so I am looking more at what you think a fair weekly salary/hourly rate would be. I know we are in a recession, but I will have to move if I only keep grossing $1440 a month.
So yeah, what do you think I should be getting if they move me onto the payroll at 40 hours a week?
Tony,
I was moved to Toyota for how well I do my job. The guy who was originally at Toyota was moved to Chrysler. At the least, the logical move to is to lower his wage and increase mine.
Say what you want, but most people could not jump right into a service advisor job and thrive – especially with limited car and computer knowledge. (Generally speaking, people usually have one or the other. I happened to fall in the latter group.)
The temp agency would not send another person. The dealership only kept me because I INCREASED profits compared to the guy that they let go when the recession hit.
I agree that my college degree does not merit a raise. By the manager’s admission, my degree was the deciding factor in hiring me.
“you didn’t know anything and made it and so will the next person.” I disagree.
Somebody MAY have been able to do it, but the fact is this – they DIDN’T. I did better than somebody who had been there 5 years. Most temps wash out and do barely average. I didn’t.
Answer
My guess would be $9.00 an hour,why should they pay more? You don’t like it and walk and the temp sends another at $9.00 an hour.Your college degree has nothing to do withnit and does not warrent more money and the orders you took if you were not there someone else would have gotten them.I mean come on a person calls up and scheduled an oil change,big deal. What I am saying is they do not have to much to worry about in getting someone to do this job,by your own words you didn’t know anything and made it and so will the next person.$9.00 an hour take it or leave it

The Popularity of Online Automotive Ads
April 25, 2010 by stuart
Filed under Automotive
As the automotive industry continues to struggle in a poor economy, manufacturers’ and dealers’ have made significant cuts to their advertising budgets. These companies who were once upon a time some of North America’s leaders in terms of marketing expenditures, are now looking to reduce this high expense in search of lower cost means that can produce similar returns on investment. In addition today’s new car sales have become so poor that a greater emphasis has been placed on their pre-owned inventory. Used cars and used trucks today offer many of the advantages of buying new and are a much more affordable option. For consumers trying to buy a used car or used truck the difficulty comes in finding one that meets their specific needs. Unlike a new car purchase, with a used car you can’t pick colour, interior, kms, engine size or options. These specifications could only have been made when the vehicle in question was being purchased new. Therefore, people looking to buy a car typically just won’t go to one dealership, instead they want to comparison shop and the most popular means of buying a used vehicle has been through using online automotive marketplace’s as well as free classified sites. These online methods allow buyers to search and or browse through thousands of ads in search of the used car, truck, motorcycle, boat, snowmobile, ATV or collector car that’s right for them.
Today with the rise of the pre owned vehicle, more Canadian then ever before will search province or even nation wide for the used vehicle that’s right for them. It will be imperative for car dealers and boat dealers to have a presence on each and every popular online interface. As more consumers then ever before will search online for used cars in Canada, it will be imperative from a marketing stand point that a dealers’ inventory is seen by the masses. Online automotive marketplaces offer a low cost, high return means of advertising. Dealers can’t afford to miss out on a potential client to another dealership who is advertising the same vehicle. Comparison shopping is here to stay and it will critical that dealers make their inventory available on a variety of websites.
One site that seems to becoming quite popular is vehiclegateway.com, which is owned by Vehicle Gateway Corp. They’re an Ontario based company dedicated to an honest approach in buying and selling used vehicles. Sellers can sell a car for free; the opportunity to post an ad for free will attract thousands of sellers as they can finally attain nation wide exposure, free of charge with respect to a true vehicle marketplace. All sellers are required to provide an abundance of information about their respective vehicle(s). This information will allow buyers searching for a car to make a more informed decision, which in turn will make their time spent online more efficient and effective. The average buyer spends over a half an hour online and this provides a perfect opportunity for any type of advertiser attempting to sell their used vehicle. Vehiclegateway.com is the new name in the online vehicle market as their interface combines the advantages of the popular free classified sites with that of a true automotive marketplace. Buyers can search nationwide as they search to ultimately buy a car, buy a sedan, buy a luxury car, buy a truck, buy a SUV, buy a van, buy a pick up truck or buy a convertible. Vehicle Gateway Corp is the perfect place to find and buy a car in Ontario as well as to sell a car in Canada. Make sure to visit www.vehiclegateway.com as it tailored to the buyer in helping then find the used autos that are suite their individual needs.

Has anyone installed after-market HIDs on 07 Toyota Camry?
I have 07 Camry SE and have been thinking of getting HID lights for it. I did some research and came across an article which basically said that even the brand name HIDs in the US (like Phillips, Bosch, or McCulloch) are fake. According to this article, the parent companies don’t even make such parts and have never heard of HID automotive lights. Below is a link to the review:
http://www.hidreview.com/
Anyhow, if the “brand-names” HIDs are fake, why not go with something like MTEC, which appears to be a product made in Japan.
The MTEC store on eBay has a designated “Camry 07+” HID kit. Has anyone purchased them? Do they work OK?
Answer
the camry is a easy install but make sure you get kit that are true plug and play some say that but you need to add a wiring to the battery to make certain cars work. i did buy one from ebay but… i had a lot of hassle (it was my fault though) but i finally bought a kit from
http://www.mvisionauto.com/car%20pages/toyota.html
they helped me out with my problem and didn’t jerk me around.
customer service was great.
p.s. make sure you get the right bulbs and i recommend getting them in 8000k they look the best out of all the colors. your car should be a H11 bulb but just double check to make sure.

The Automotive GPS How to Choose One
April 21, 2010 by stuart
Filed under Automotive
In today’s world, no high end automotive is without its GPS to helps us travel from destination A to destination B. We can buy optional GPS systems as part of a new car buy or select models that are installed later. However, whether to buy one straight off or select one later that may be of better quality is a tough choice. Here are some considerations to think about when considering buying the GPS option that comes with a new car or having another GPS system installed.
Almost all the newest GPS system have a few things in common: Full-color Street maps, easy touch-screen controls, traffic alerts and rerouting options. It is the other features, cost and your integration options that make the difference.
First off let’s consider cost. Built-in GPS systems offered on new vehicles are often much more expensive. In-dash add-on navigational GPS systems are often only moderately expensive but need to be installed by professionals which can add to your expenses. Portable automotive GPS navigation systems are usually the most economical and easily ported from one vehicle to the next.
Secondly, consider integration with other automotive systems. Built-in GPS’s LCD display are shared with other car systems like climate control, antenna, power attachments, the radio, and hands-free cell phone. In-dash add-on GPS systems usually replace a vehicle’s radio/CD player, require an additional antenna and are not is only partially “integrated” into the car’s systems. Portable GPS systems have the least integration but often do not require external antennae.
New-car built-in GPS systems offered larger LCD screens are usually larger which gives better visibility, but the drawback is that they are usually a step behind in new features and map updates. In-dash GPS also usually include large LCD displays, AM/FM sterol and sometimes CD/DVD players with LCDs that fold away when not in use. While the portable automotive GPS device is usually much smaller, it has the usually provides quickest available update as it can be easily removed and updated through your PC.
Your final consideration is the size of the screen and features. The largest LCD screens are found in the new-car built-in GPS systems which increase visibility to the driver. The drawback to these systems is they are usually slower in feature and map updates. The good news is that in-dash GPS usually provide comparable size LCD displays. They can also provide integrated AM/FM stereo and sometimes CD/DVD players with LCDs that fold away. However, for quickest and easiest updates, it is the portable automotive GPS device that a consumer wants. The drawback is that these devices generally have smaller displays.

Hey chuck Norris, what if I just apply the touch up paint, without using no cutting compound will that be ok?
Answer
oooouuuhh not sure man that looks like theres a bit of rust in that… which mean youve gone right down to the metal….. best thing to do is use a cutting compound and take back any rust that may have formed and then use a small container of touch up paint… similar coulor to fix it…. unfortuanatly cant just polish this one out lol.

Why are Automotive Blogs so Popular
April 13, 2010 by stuart
Filed under Automotive
The huge leap the technology has experienced in recent years has brought virtually the entire world only one click away from us. More and more consumers have Internet access in their own homes, which makes it all the more convenient. Those who still don’t have an Internet connection at home, can surf the net at work, for instance. The bottom line is that more and more people all over the world contribute to the popularity and usefulness of the wonder of the twentieth century, the Internet.
An even more recent invention is the blog, and its novelty is the possibility on the reader’s part to go beyond reading and make his/her personal comments. The range of subjects followed by blogs is very wide as blogs are user generated, and almost anyone can have their own blog. The interest in blogs goes as far as trying to figure out why people want to have blogs.
Car blogs are very popular because there are many car enthusiasts out there who want to find information that’s relevant to their needs. It’s like pursuing a hobby and it makes a lot of sense. If cars are your undying hobby, where would you want to be if not on a car blog, where everything is about cars at any time.
An automotive blog is usually structured in such a way that the user will be able to choose the type of information easily. If your looking for specific information, or if you’re just scouting to see what’s the latest news, it’s all there on your automotive blog. Just to give you some idea as to what extent the variety of information on an automotive blog can go, let us tell you this much. If you want to purchase a new car, or change your old car for a newer one, a car blog will most definitely present you the newest car models to suit all tastes and financial possibilities. And they don’t just come with pictures, but with all technical details, and even possible flaws that producers conveniently omit. If you want to find out about alternative fuels, for instance, as more and more drivers are concerned with fuel efficiency, all the information you need is right there, on the car blog. Every driver’s main concern should be the maintenance of his/her car and a car blog will tell you all you need to know about keeping your car in excellent shape. Your driver experience can be compared to unbiased auto testing provided by an automotive blog. You also have access to opinions of people just like yourself, and you can help other people make wise decisions by sharing your opinion. These are just some of the reasons that make a car blog so popular.
But how is car blog popularity determined? Permalinks are those that boost the popularity of a car blog, as they show that people are actually reading the content of that particular blog. Thus, the content is deemed as noteworthy or valuable. There are also blogrolls which come from affiliation to a particular car blog, but they are not as indicative of the car blog popularity as permalinks are.

As you can probably tell I am a graduate, who is currently looking at jobs I wish to apply for but I am lacking in experience. So I am trying to style a seeking but specific cover letter at the same time, I don’t know whether this would be a negative move from me or not. Could you please please please review my grammar. Anyway I have two cover letters that I have used as of late but I do not feel they would be as strong as the one I have posted above, but for your reference to understand where I am coming from I shall add both here too.

1st paragraph– ‘inquire’ is more common and accepted that ‘enquire’ though they mean the same thing (wait, are you in Great Britain? then ‘enquire’ is okay.;
3rd paragraph. are you sure you want to say ‘invaluable’? you want a word that sets you apart from other grads and job seekers but telling someone they can’t live without you doesn’t sound quite right.

After the dummy moved forward into the airbag, it rebounded into the seat without its head coming close to any stiff structure that could cause injury.

$8,000 cash. The Carfax says the car is “clear”..
I know they will never sell for that price but a brand new Kia Rio is $8,000 with a 5 year warranty and it runs great and is fun to drive. That is not always true for a 2003 car..
