Modify your car with cash from your bingo winnings

Your Subaru Impreza is likely to be your pride and joy. Most people who own an Impreza love looking after it and spend a good deal of time making sure their car is in top condition. Sometimes this means getting your hands on some car accessories that make your car perform better and will also make it more attractive and more comfortable.

Making the most of your Impreza with car accessories is a great idea, but it does mean you’ll have to spend a bit more on your car. This is something you may be fully prepared to do, but your bank balance might not let you spend as much as you’d like!

If that’s the case then why not look into online bingo as a way of winning money to buy car accessories for your car? Just think of the accessories and gadgets you could buy if you won a jackpot online!

Play Mecca Bingo to see if you can get a bit of good luck to pay for the modifications you want to make to your car. Cash prizes at Mecca Bingo are excellent and they could just make the difference to your car, allowing it to stand out from the rest.

If Only

With a staggering £68 million jackpot up for grabs on Friday’s Euro Millions lottery, I’ve started to dream (I’m sure that I’m not the only one) about what car(s) I would buy.
Obviously I would be buying a couple of supercars but which ones. Well, Aston Martin has recently revealed the new Virage which looks absolutely stunning and with a V-12 producing 490hp it’ll be quick as well.
The next cars to consider would be the new 700hp Pogani Huayra which is replacing the Zonda and the new Lamborghini Aventador.
Both cars look awesome with the Lamborghini able to reach 217mph due to its new 6.5-litre V12 pumping out a colossal 700hp and 509lb ft of torque mated to Lamborghini’s Independent Shift Rod (ISR) transmission.
Meanwhile the Pagani will also produce 700hp from it’s 6.0-litre, twin-turbo Mercedes-AMG V12 engine. However the Huayra hints at a top speed of over 230mph!

Forester S

I’ve Just read that Subaru have debuted the new Forester S-Edition in Australia with Subaru-Australia. It will be released in the UK later this year and it looks awesome.
It’s been heavily influenced by the Impreza WRX as it features a turbocharged 2.5 litre engine producing 193 Kilowatts of power, 347 Nm of torque with a five-speed STI paddleshift automatic transmission. Looks like the engine has basically come straight out of the WRX, which can only be a massive positive?
For a limited period you’ll even be able to have painted in the exclusive WR blue.

The car is a combination of the best of what Subaru has to offer so is bound to popular. Pre-order yours now.

Subaru’s safe as houses

Ashley — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 16:17:16 +0000

In a study undertaken at the end of last year by Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) in the USA, Subaru vehicles came out amongst the safest on the road.
The result was achieved after a number of stringent frontal, side, rear and rollover crash tests were carried out on a range of Subaru vehicles.
Subaru managed to outperform the likes of Volkswagen, Ford, Audi, Honda and Volvo as well as earning scores high enough to ensure that each model that the Japanese manufacturer came top.
Amongst the five awards which Subaru received the Impreza was named in the small category. The other four awards were achieved by the New Legacy, Outback, Forrester and the Tribeca.

Colin McRae Vision

I was glad to hear that a collaboration between Colin McRae Vision and Alex F. Noble & Son, a Subaru dealer, a donated a Subaru Forrester the the Yorkhill Hospital’s Paediatric Intensive Care Unit.
The Partnership which was set up after Colin McRae sadly lost his life in a horrific helicopter crash in September 2007, has also made a donation of £35,000 help fund the purchase of a specialist Paediatric Intensive Care ambulance.
The vehicle will hopefully make a huge difference to the fantastic work that the hospital does as it will enable them to respond to more calls and help provide critically ill children with the specialist treatment they need.
The Colin McRae Vision was set up by the McRae family to raise funds for charitable and worthwhile causes. If you would like to make a donation yourself please visit www.justgiving.com/colinmcraevision/donate.

WRX & STI Offers

Ashley — Sat, 17 Jul 2010 15:48:21 +0000

The Subaru Impreza WRX and STI type UK is now being offered with complimentary optional upgrades worth a stunning £3,200. Although this offer will only be available at participating dealers of course!
The free items included with the offer, which was announced in April, are a Prodrive Performance Pack which will improve acceleration and add new 18 inch alloys and tyres.
Subaru UK Marketing Director, Kenyon Neads, said: “With this offer we’ve added even more value into the Impreza equation. The WRX and STI are performance car icons with a seriously loyal following and we hope that the prospect of these free upgrades will broaden their appeal still further.”
Further to the awesome Prodrive Performance Package the Japanese firm is also reducing the price by a whopping £95.

Impreza 2010 Coupe

Ashley — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 16:28:47 +0000

I’ve never actually been impressed with the current styling of the Subaru Impreza. I’m sure you will all agree that the design has gradually declined over recent years. However, this should or maybe still could be about to change as a delicious new coupe supposedly goes into production this year (see image).

The coupe is has been developed as part of joint venture between Subaru and Toyota which will also apparently produce a new version of the Celica.

They’ll be a choice of two engines which will be the normally aspirated 2.0 L unit producing an estimated 180bhp and a high performance 2.5 L turbo which will be borrowed from the STi producing 300bhp.

The coupe will help Subaru battle against the BMW 3 series coupe and Nissan 350Z. Good luck guys.

New Cosworth Impreza

Ashley — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 16:17:03 +0000

Just when it couldn’t get any better there is now a new Subaru Impreza, the Cosworth STI CS400. The car is one of the most eagerly awaited collaborations in the automotive world. Maybe the only downside is that it is limited to a production of only 75 so, you’ll have to be as quick as the car to actually get your hands on one.

The Cosworth-tuned turbocharged Boxer engine will now produce 33 % more power due to the manufacturer’s vast knowledge of Formula 1.

So what are the important stats, I hear you say? With full time all wheel drive, Vehicle Dynamics Control, Rear limited-slip differential, Front limited-slip differential and Si-Drive adjustable centre differential and a six speed gearbox it will produce 400 ps, reach 62 mph in just 3.7 seconds with a top speed electronically limited to 155 mph.

It will be exclusive to the UK in right-hand drive form, a choice of three colours will be available and it will be priced at £49,995 on the road.

Spend a Little on You and Your Car..

Ashley — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 17:30:24 +0000

Recently I have been looking at spending a little bit of my hard earned money on my car, I never treat it to anything… I have been saying that I would tint the windows or add a roof vortex plate or get it lowered or something along those lines for the past 12 months and still haven’t done any of these things!! My poor Subaru Impreza must be getting really annoyed at me for making promises and not keeping them!!
So what I have been doing for the past few days is looking at installing a new car stereo into my beloved Subaru Impreza… But I think I need new speakers too!! I was driving along the other day, minding my own business, when a good song cam on the radio, so I turned it up and started to enjoy the music…
but one of my rear speakers was distorting a lot, yet the others seemed fine!! So now I am going to have to get a new stereo and speakers, what an expense! Although, here is something that will help, someone told me about Promotional Coupons, these are great for helping you get a better bargain!
So don’t be shy, spend a little bit of money and treat yourself, or your car!!!
