Scania Scania Scania, I know I know, that’s all I seem to put on here these days. Can you blame me when they are creating the ideal and really the only special editions of any worth by the primary makers? The Blue Stream is made by Scania for the planet wide industry, it is offered in any chassis configuration with any cab as lengthy as it has a V8 engine. The limited edition is a run of 200 individually numbered trucks.

Both the gorgeous Blue Stream and the UK’s personal particular edition, the Golden Griffin were released pretty close to one particular an additional but there truly is no comparison in spec from what I hear and I will say hear. The Golden Griffin is a limited run of just 50 trucks offered to the UK industry to celebrate 50 years of Scania in the UK. For me the Blue Stream blows it’s Golden cousin out the water. It is primarily based on celebrating the original infant blue and pink stripes from the original Scania Streamline that was released back in 1991. With the launch of the new R-Streamline Scania got lots of feedback from drivers who fondly remembered the original Streamline, so it was decided they would release a new specific edition to honour the original. Good.

In the north of England on the east coast of Lincolnshire there is a man who goes by the name of Moody, Mick Moody. Many of you will know the name and some will know the man, I have no notion how myself and Mr Moody have become what ever we are but we text and these days talk quite a bit. Now I have been recognized to be a fair Scania fan but Mr Moody is almost certainly a single of the biggest Scania men that I know (excluding Mr Rigby that is!) and when Mr Moody text me to say he had one thing specific on its way I knew it was going to be a knock-your-socks-off-unique, he didn’t disappoint. This specific truck is new and unregistered so it is in require of a good quantity and amongst the fields of dreamers I’m positive there are a great number of Scania fans with sufficient income to snap up edition #5. The truck is a left hand drive R580 Topline, 6×2 mid-lift. The Blue Streams spec will leave you feeling far from blue as each truck comes fitted with the following packages that are normally price alternatives
· Lighting package
· Driver package
· Prestige package
· Comfort package
These packages incorporate the following equipment, Air Suspension Including Front Axle, 2 Peddle Opticruise, Retarder, Coffee Maker, Fridge, Premium Radio Inc Sat Nav, Bluetooth, Adaptive Cruise Control,Lane Departure, Camara, Restricted Edition No 5,Best Bar,Visor Bar,Rear Bar,Durabrites, Far To Many Extras To List,This Truck Is Just Pure Class. So you can be safe in the expertise that it has virtually each and every alternative and upgrade that is attainable from the factory. This has because been confirmed by Mr Moody telling me that he cannot discover a blank switch cover any where on the dashboard, all the switches are in use with something or yet another. Have a look at the dash in the pictures, you can see that every single switch has a symbol and is there fore a use.

If your not a dreamer, or a tyre kicker or a waster or a Volvo lover then perhaps it may just be worth you giving Mr Moody a call and I’m positive he will set you straight. The truck will be costly but remember what your obtaining, an awesome drivers favourite, collectible specific edition that will hold its worth.

More ’Bag Blues: Ford Recalls 747,000 Cars for Faulty Airbag Controller

Ford is recalling 746,842 automobiles in the U.S. to replace airbag controllers that can short-circuit.

In C-Max, Fusion, Escape, and Lincoln MKZ models from 2013 and 2014, the airbag controller module’s coating can crack from thermal cycling—the rise and fall of vehicle-element temperatures—and expose internal circuits to moisture, causing a brief that can lead to improper frontal or side airbag deployment. Extra security systems that rely on the controller’s information, such as the pretensioners and stability manage, can be similarly affected for the duration of a crash. In these circumstances, airbag and stability-manage warnings need to seem on the dashboard.

Ford mentioned it discovered greater than regular warranty claims for airbag warning lights starting in November 2013, but given that several of the cars were already repaired, the automaker believed the difficulty had been contained. But this July, Ford noticed it was addressing an “unexpected increase” of airbag controllers and by August had determined the difficulty with the device’s coating. Owners will receive notice to replace the controller starting November 8.

Ford has knowledgeable other difficulties with this particular airbag controller. In Could, Ford recalled nearly 600,000 2013–2014 C-Max and Escape models to reprogram controllers that could delay deploying the side-curtain airbags in an accident. Also in Might, Ford recalled more than 1.3 million sedans and SUVs, like the last-gen Escape, for power-steering failures, electrical fires, and trapped accelerators. In April, Ford recalled the very same vehicles in this newest recall for loose seatbacks that had been improperly welded at the factory. Only 43,000 automobiles were impacted in that instance, nonetheless.

Rev Limiter Blues - 2014 SLP Panther Camaro Long-Term Road Test

2014 SLP Panther Camaro: Rev Limiter Blues

Could 23, 2014

As considerably as I really like our extended-term 2014 SLP Panther Camaro, no auto is ideal.

The Panther’;s flaw is its rev limiter. I hate it. Hate it. Hate it. Hate it.

Hate it.

After living with this Camaro for 6 months and almost 10,000 miles, its rev limiter is the only point about this fine machine that doesn’;t hit me square in between the eyes with lust, and it really is the only thing I would change about the vehicle.

It isn’;t even a rev limiter. It is a difficult fuel cut-off. Bang the motor into it and it shuts off like appropriate now. It is like driving the automobile into a wall.

Of course, I believe the engine demands some protection from overrevving, but I’;ve driven many LS-powered automobiles over the years, from Pontiac GTOs to Camaros and Corvettes like far more than a handful of supercharged examples like ZL1s, ZR1s and Callaways. I don’;t remember any of them getting such an abrupt limiter.

When overrevved these automobiles spit and sputter. They sort of ask you for the next gear. But the Panther shuts you down. Difficult. SLP says this is by design and style. In spite of maintaining the rev ceiling at the factory spec 6,600 rpm, the company’;s engineers have reprogrammed the fuel cutoff for the a lot more aggressive really feel.

If you ask me, they need to change it back. That is all.
