Cars are one of the most important inventions of mankind. The first ever model dates back to historic era. Since then, cars are undergoing constant changes. One does not get to see the same models that were available years ago. Today, cars have a whole new dimension added to them. They epitomize style, beauty, power. Equipped with features like music systems, TV screens, satellite system, GPS navigation, auto drive and many others, they are no longer just a necessity. They are surely every man's desire.

The scenario was completely different a decade ago. Back then, these cars were simple in their designs as well as their features. The cars were designed on a completely different pattern. The interiors were simple and not plush as today. They were used only as a mode of transportation and nothing else. They were used by some high class people belonging to elite groups as a symbol of their position and prestige in the society and were far away from the reach of the common man.

Goodwood Revival festival celebrates the designs of the classic era. It is one of the most historic motor festivals held at present times that exhibit different cars back from the fifties and sixties. It takes place in September every year and continues for a period of three days.

During the course of these three days, no modern vehicle is allowed into the circuit. One can actually get to see some of the most rarest and unique cars in the festival. The year 2011 celebrates the 70th Jeep Anniversary.

Jeep has always been a symbol of style and power. The first ever model was developed in the year 1941 while the first model was not available to the civilians until the year 1945. It marks an important time in the lives of the automobile lovers. People are trying their best to celebrate the event and they are writing about it.

Hybrid technology is all the rage these days – amongst virtually all the major car manufacturers.

Each major car maker has its own claims to fame from its history, but perhaps the major manufacturer that deserves the most credit when it comes to being responsible for the development of the hybrid concept is Honda.

That’s because the manufacturer has been developing its technology in this direction for almost three decades now – and truly pioneered hybrid technology. Recently, the company introduced its fourth hybrid car – the all-new Honda Insight.

In fact, the first Honda Insight became on of the world’s first commercially available hybrid vehicles back in 1999.

A Honda hybrid uses two different sources of power working tin unison to drive the vehicle; a small, fuel-efficient petrol engine – and an electric motor. The battery that powers the electric motor is continually recharged as the car moves along, specifically; charging each time the car brakes or slows down.

So with help from the electric motor, the petrol engine doesn’t need to work anything like as hard, and nor does your wallet. This is because the hybrid car’s fuel economy is excellent, and the hybrid reduces harmful CO2 emissions. The cars also decrease emissions of nitrous oxide (NOx) and particulates that adversely affect the quality of the air we all breathe.

In 2009, Honda introduced its second-generation Insight based on an all-new, five passenger, five-door, hybrid platform – which the company also later used for the Honda CR-Z.

The insight’s design, its affordability and, of course, its amazing fuel efficiency combine to make it Honda’s best family car for the modern, “green” family.

Deciding which is the best family car can be something of a balancing act between conflicting opinions, different factors and, well, something of a nightmare for those of us who don’t want to spend our days poring over statistics in magazines, or online reviews.

At the same time, we all want to make a smart choice to keep our families safe and transported in comfort. And an ever-increasing number of us are simultaneously concerned about protecting the environment.

One excellent potential choice for families trying to balance the best of all worlds is undoubtedly the new Honda Insight.

Honda has always had an enviable reputation for reliability – and with the Insight, Honda lovers can also enjoy a warm feeling of being environmentally friendly. Why? Because the Insight is also a hybrid.

The car was designed to make hybrid technology more affordable to a wide range of family buyers. The new Insight, introduced in 2010, was a complete change from its predecessor’s two-seater configuration. The 2010 version is a five passenger, five door hybrid vehicle that includes the fifth generation of Honda’s Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) hybrid powertrain. The Insight’s wedge-shaped body is specifically designed to assist aerodynamics – so reducing drag to maximise fuel economy.

Perhaps most importantly for many families, the Insight is also one of the most affordable of family hybrids available – both on purchase price and running costs.

In fact, the official UK fuel efficiency data for the Honda Insight is a very respectable 61.4 mpg on the urban cycle, rising to 67.3 mpg in the extra urban cycle whilst the CO2 emissions rating is an impressive 101g/km.

In short, the Honda Insight offers a little of everything for the environmentally concerned family.

The cost of car insurance in Ireland has become more expensive over the last few years, but there are ways that motorists can reduce their premiums and here are a few examples.

Pay more excess – the phrase excess refers to the amount that you will have to pay towards any insurance claim that is made before your insurer pays the rest. If your excess is €300 and your claim is for €900, then the insurance company will only pay €600. The higher the excess, the cheaper and less of a risk it will be for the insurer, so if you opt for paying more excess, your premium will be reduced. This should only be done if you can afford to pay the value of the excess in the event that you have to make a claim.

Reduce the cover – the law states that all motorists must have third-party insurance to cover the cost of any damage that you cause to someone else or the property following an accident. Most people will add fire and theft protection to this sort of policy. If you have a comprehensive motor insurance policy, where the cost to your own car is covered, you have to remember that the insurer will only pay out what they believe the car is worth at the time. Therefore, if your car is old or has a low value, having comprehensive cover might not be worth the extra cost and the cheaper third-party option should be considered.

These are just a couple of simple tips that could end up saving you hundreds of euro each year.

The first hour of today’s Le Mans 24 Hour race was marred by a huge accident for Audi’s Scottish driver Allan McNish – McNish’s Audi R18 collided with a slower Ferrari GT, driven by Frenchman Anthony Beltoise, careered across a gravel trap and smashed into a barrier.

“I have absolutely no idea what happened. I was on my second lap after a pit stop. I didn’t even see the Audi coming up behind me,” a visibly irritated Beltoise said on pit lane, waiting for his car to be repaired.
