So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Land Rover History

By Matthew Wood


There are many Land Rover parts and accessories that can significantly improve and enhance your experience while driving one of the most recognisable car brands around. This article will aim to highlight some of the essential items that you may well consider to purchase.

Land Rover's progression to the modern day sees many specialist shops making good business on selling Land Rover parts that add to the vehicle's overall appeal. However, it's the 1860s where the name of Rover originated and where the first small steps were made to making the first Land Rover. John Kemp Starley, an English inventor and industrialist, set up a business manufacturing sewing machines in Coventry but it was creation of bicycles where he really made his name - and more significantly, Rover's.

In 1884, Starley introduced the very first tricycles and bicycles and named then under the umbrella of Rover. Incidentally, a name which is still used for the term "Bike" in Poland. Four years later, Starley created what is considered to be Coventry's "first car". However, the electric tricycle is never developed upon the prototype stage.

In 1901 - at the age of 47 - Starley passes away suddenly and his managing director role with Rover is taken over by Harry Smyth who moves the company forward to producing motorbikes and cars, the first of which, is established in 1904. Just two years later, the decision is made to focus production solely on cars and this drives the company to becoming one of the biggest players in the manufacturing industry in the 1920s.

Wind deflectors Typically between 3 to 4mm thick and made from durable plastic, wind deflectors attach with ease to the top of the car door to help protect the top of your window. The main advantage of this accessory is that the user can open their window in any weather condition and not be affected by any wind or rain that could be present.

Sales improve and Land Rover evolves to become the product that it is today, coming in a number of different models, including the Defender, Discovery, Freelander, Range Rover and Range Rover Sport.

After being acquired by BMW in 1994, the Rover group was eventually discontinued by Ford who made Land Rover a part of their Premier Automotive Group. In 2008 Ford sold Land Rover to Indian company Tata Motors.
