Cheeky Convertible Summer

If the rain eventually decides to leave the UK, we might see summer slowly creeping up. As we don’t know how long it’s going to hang around, we might as well see what affordable convertibles we can zoom around in to make the most of the warmish British summer. There are loads of convertibles out there these days, but I was thinking more towards something with a bit of character.

The first car that came to mind is the New Fiat 500C. I’ve had the pleasure of driving the standard Fiat 500 and for a tiny car it’s very rapid and definitely has heads turning. Also when it comes to the Fiat 500, there’s a wide range of customised models you can get. So you can show off your own character through your car. Personally I like the Abarth 500C, the idea of cool little car packed with power is quiet exciting. I’d recommend checking out the Fiat 500 at Fiat Sunderland dealership.

Another little car with a lot of personality is the Daihatsu Copen Roadster. It’s a not see that often but when you do see one it makes you take a look out of curiosity. The Copen is a cute car with swooping lines, built by Japanese car manufacturer; the car is retro and at the same time modern. It’s also very economical with a 1.3 litre engine, which gives out some decent power.


The Smart ForTwo Cabrio is another choice probably more because it’s been around for a while and there would be more second hand models out there in the marker. I suppose it’s not as cool or popular as it use to be but somehow it still gets people turning their heads. It’s also a car that can be customised to suit your personal taste and definitely fun to drive.

Finally, here’s a car I look forward to seeing. The Suzuki Swift convertible is hopefully car hitting the UK roads sometime in 2010. It’s definitely a cheeky fun looking convertible. The concept pictures make it look quiet luxurious as well, Suzuki will definitely give their competition a run for their money.

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...

Return of the DS

I never realised that the Citroen I use to call upside down boat was called the Citroen DS, I also didn’t realise how popular the car was in its time. So recently when I saw the launch of Citroens new DS models I understood why this new car was such a funky design, it had to live up to its ancestors. The old Citroen DS’s design was pretty bold and it took me a long time to accept how unique and cool this car actually is. For the time it was built it was an extremely luxury vehicle and technology wise it was up there with its innovative hydro pneumatic self-levelling suspension. The design was also a little outrageous, but these were the reasons for making this car such an icon. The new Citroen DS3 which I had a chance to check out at Citroen Newcastle DS3 showroom. I was kind of put off by its design, I thought it looked a little over the top. But now that I’ve seen how much this car can be customised, I’m actually impressed by its uniqueness and learning abou...
