New Honda Compact Renaissance Zero

New Honda Compact Renaissance Zero – CRZ

Who would have guessed that the CRZ on the new Honda CRZ stood for Compact Renaissance Zero.

The “C” stands for compact and the new Honda CRZ is definitely compact. Its length is 160.6 inches, which is shorter than a VW Golf which is 166inches. Even the width is smaller than the likes of the VW Golf which is 69.3inches; whereas the Honda CRZ is 68.5inches. The CRZ is a 2 passenger’s car, although I reckon they could have put in rear seats if they wanted to.

Next the “R” stands for Renaissance. As we know the renaissance was a time of art, philosophy, science and many other intellectual subjects. The Honda CRZ is one car that has almost returned from the past. The similarities between the New Honda CRZ and the old Honda CRX are very easy to notice and its quiet clear that Honda have modelled the CRZ to bring back some of the past.

Finally the “Z” stands for Zero; no this is not what the price tag of this car is. The zero represents the cars hybrid engine and nearly zero emissions. The Hybrid engine in the CRZ is a 1.5 i-VTEC engine, which can produce an outstanding 125bhp, which gives the car 0-60mph times of 8.3 seconds and a top speed of 124mph. Fuel consumption wise, the Honda CRZ gives 38mpg which is not so great for a hybrid vehicle, but it is one of the first 2 seater sporty hybrids to be released.

On the whole the New Honda Compact Renaissance Zero is a cool car and I’m sure it will do well. Especially as there are many Honda CRX lovers who will want to be a part of the new coming Honda CRZ.

Brown is the new Black

The last couple of years saw a rise in cars being released in white. It’s a cool colour but it’s starting to get boring. So it’s good news to see that 2010 seems to be bringing new hues into the market; the most popular seems to be shades of Brown. As always fashion trends always go full circle, so seeing brown cars reminds me of my dad’s car back when I was just 8 years old, he use to drive a chocolate brown Ford Escort. As I got older I remember joy riding around in a brown Mini Metro, luckily I never got caught. The first brown car I saw was the Audi R8 Spyder, which looked amazing. As more cars got released with the new 10 registration plate it seems it’s the new trend and Brown has become the new black. My favourite new car in brown is the Porsche 997 Turbo Cabriolet, followed closely by the Audi R8 Spyder. I’ve even seen an Audi A3 in a really dark brown colour which I loved. The most affordable brown car I would go for would be the Citroen DS3; I should p...

Not all Online Sign Language Courses are equal

On my mission to learn Sign Language in 2021, I did what most people would do and went to Google and searched “learn sign language”. A few places popped up and I realised as I’m the UK, I needed to be a little bit more specific, as in the UK it’s called British Sign Language or BSL. So, I went on to search “Learn British Sign Language online”. I’m no stranger to Google search engine results being a mixture of paid ad listing and listings that naturally pop up on the first page due to their ranking by Google. I wanted a good deal, so I clicked on some of the paid ads which pop up right at the top and here’s where my confusions began. I found website that offered BSL courses which seemed like a bargain, I could apparently sign up online and learn BSL Level 1 and BSL Level 2 and get certified at an 89% discounted price of just £14.00 – This was “a deal not to miss” I thought. But my gut was saying “you get what you pay for”. So, I investigated further to find out what I’m getti...

Kent Zoo, Best Tourism Experience in England

I’ve never bothered going to London Zoo, as I don’t like the idea of going to see animals from the wild in middle of a concrete city. My first ever trip to the Zoo was a drive up North, to one of London Zoo’s partners, Whipsnade Zoo which is near Luton. Even though it was a little less city like, I absolutely loved my time there and since have been planning to go back. Until now...I recently discovered Port Lympne, which is a Kent Zoo that’s actually closer to London then Luton and it’s based in the Garden of England, Kent! Port Lympne is more of a Wild Life Park in Kent and has a wonderful mixture of animals from all over the world. The park is run by the Aspinall Foundation a charity which does a wonderful job of looking after endangered species such as the Bengal Tiger and Black Rhino . There’s animal there I’ve never even heard of, which makes it more exciting to go visit this brilliant wild life park. Recently Port Lympne has been voted England’s best touri...
