Race Porsche

By Mihai Jepan

 Here is a tricky one : why do some hate french cars ? Renault, Citroen, Peugeot make nice cars, great designs and most of them have good engines. Their only big problem is the auto parts costs, which is very high ( this is one of the reasons french dont go do auto service too much, they prefer buying another car ), but else, the french models are quite nice.

One model that is indeed special is the new Citroen C3 Picasso 1.6 VTi - you can check out the looks of this car and I am sure I do not have to say anything about the engine. A small car with such a powerful engine is like a miniatural beast, you wont even know when it bites you. Many have rated the engine of the Citroen C3 Picasso 1.6 VTi with a 7, on a scale from one to ten, but I would have went one grade higher, up to an eight.

Fuel consumption is not that great though, but you cannot make an agresive car with low fuel consumption, unless youre japaneese. Here is where I would grade the car with a five. Now well move on to the interior, which I would like to describe it in just one word : fantastic! Ten out of ten, if youll ask me and that is really great for a french car that uses a lot of plastic when designing the inside.

Quality price report is allright. Its not expensive for what it has to offer. The starting price for a Citroen C3 Picasso 1.6 VTi is 11.990 euro with VAT included, which is not that much comparable with, lets say, an Opel Meriva. The only serious competition regarding this report would be the Ford Fusion, but some would not choose the second one because of the dull design.

9-5 and 9-3 will no longer be produced ?

By Mihai Jepan

 The automotive domain will suffer lost of the rummours prove to be true and the 9-5 and 9-3 from Saab will no longer be produced, if Saab will be closed by GM. It would be shame to lose the launch of the new 9-5, since one factory has been fully equipped and developed especially for this model and the sum invested is huge.

Probably, the only way Saab will continue to “live” is if General Motors decide to accept one of the offers received for the brand and its factories. The technology owned by Saab is impressive and till recently they were considered a luxury brand, that sold cars just to a specific set of customers, that new how to handle a powerful, yet confortable car.

One of the most impressive achievements by Saab was developing an engine able to propelow a car from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.3 seconds on a serie model that sold quite well. The car had a great acceleration on second and third gear, allowing it to be transformed into a real beast on short distances, compared to other similar models.

General Motors had hired to legal representative to liquidate the brand Saab, so the only way the swedish brand will live further is if some of the companies interested in buying it will manage to fulfill their goals.

Total Protection with Pipe Wrap Tape

By Prince Ahmed

 Pipe installations are very common in building constructions, industrial lines, etc. With the materials that make up a pipe, and given the nature of the surroundings they are installed in, they easily get -corroded. If they are installed as is, without any protection, the pipes will soon degrade due to the reaction with the environment.

With a pipe wrap tape, corrosion should not be a problem anymore among pipe installations. Pipe wrap tapes are special adhesives that provide overall pipe protection from any type of reaction. Corrosions due to salt water, hot soils, acids, and alkalis for below ground installations are prevented by having a pipe wrap tape all around the pipe installation. For above ground pipes, pipe wrap tapes also make a shield for the pipes against the ultraviolet rays of the sun and other weathering elements.
