1. I'm of the thought that door protectors strips are important to cut down on the number of dings on your car doors. Personally, I felt that center door protectors seem more effective than those cars with a buttom door protectors. Of course, there are also some that don't come with any door protectors at all. 2. I wonder what is the rationale of some car manufacturers having door protectors that are mounted at the buttom of the doors? Do you know? Regards, -
Does it mean that OMV of Hyundai cars on the road would go up?

Ha...ha...ha..., even before the highly charged match, Liverpool are already nervous about this Sunday match against their bitter rival - Arsenal. Their goalkeeper (Reds) Jose Reina spoke before the match aganist the Gunners. Sign of trouble ahead. As reported in ESPN Soccernet:- "Jose Reina insists Liverpool must use Sunday's tough clash with Arsenal to get their act together in time for a late charge in Europe. Liverpool are facing the prospect of not qualifying from the Champions League group stages following their disastrous defeat by Besiktas on Wednesday. Now they face leaders Arsenal at Anfield in a clash of the Premier League's only remaining unbeaten clubs. Spanish goalkeeper Reina said: 'We believed we played a good game in Istanbul, to be honest, we were just very unlucky in front of goal. 'But it is not good at all, that is clear. We must keep going and try to improve. 'We must now concentrate on a very important game against Arsenal. We can put things right if we can beat them.'" So............. let me starts the ball rolling. Will Liverpool beat against Arsenal ? Although I am a Liverpool supporter, I am afraid that tomorrow clash would be Liverpool 1st lost of the season. . Today The New Paper (page 70) stated that "At Anfield, Reds are bulletproof" but Gunners are using cannon............ -
veri rare govt body lose... Judge rules in favour of Komoco Motors in case against LTA By Asha Popatlal, Channel NewsAsia | Posted: 18 May 2007 2017 hrs SINGAPORE: The Land Transport Authority (LTA) has come out on the losing side in a S$7 million court case. In a judicial review, Judge Judith Prakash has ruled in favour of Komoco Motors, which brings in Hyundai cars. Some 17,000 Hyundai cars were at the centre of the case which started some two and a half years ago. Importer Komoco Motors had been asked by the LTA to pay more ARF, amounting to some S$7 million. "There was a customs issue which required Komoco to pay additional duty on those cars and as a norm the Registrar of Vehicles - or LTA in this case - actually used the OMV figure from customs to determine how much ARF or additional registration fee to impose on those cars. "In this case, Komoco felt the OMV itself should not be extended based on certain extenuating circumstances," says Philip Fong, Partner, Harry Elias Partnership. So Komoco's lawyers say it was prepared to go to LTA, open its books, and give full disclosure as to why they should not have to pay in this particular case. A meeting took place in an attempt to settle the matter out of court. But to court, it went. "We actually complained that LTA should not piggy back on the decision of customs blindly and without exercising an independent mind," says Fong. The case went up for judicial review, which seldom happens in Singapore. This is when a court of law reviews the actions of an official or entity, that is usually part of the government. In making her judgement, which has just been released, Judge Judith Prakash said LTA's policy was not unreasonable or irrational. However, having instituted that policy, the Registrar should have heard the case with an open mind and considered whether an exception should have been made. She added that the Registrar had unlawfully delegated her authority to Customs, by refusing to consider whether or not exceptional circumstances applied. So the Judge ruled in favour of Komoco, with costs - Channel NewsAsia understands LTA may have to pay up to S$50,000. When approached by Channel NewsAsia, LTA said it is consulting its lawyers. - CNA/yy -
Teacher wins appeal against insurer over legal costs By Wong Mun Wai, Channel NewsAsia | Posted: 03 October 2007 1351 hrs SINGAPORE: Primary school teacher Jonathan Lock won his legal battle on Wednesday when the Court of Appeal ruled that he does not have to pay legal bills amounting to S$120,000. The Appeal Judges, including Chief Justice Chan Sek Keong, ruled in favour of 35-year-old Mr Lock and ended the legal tussle that spanned over 18 months. CJ Chan described Mr Lock's case as "incredible" and said judges have not seen one "like it in all their years in law". Mr Lock's ordeal started with a motor insurance claim to his insurers, NTUC Income. Last year, the Primary Dispute Resolution Centre (PDRC) at the Subordinate Courts awarded him S$188 and ordered the other vehicle owner to pay S$1,200 in costs. But NTUC Income, which is also the insurer for the other vehicle, appealed and brought the case to the High Court. It claimed the Centre was not a court and its judges did not have the power to issue court orders. In May, a High Court ruling agreed with NTUC Income. Mr Lock appealed and was eventually pulled into a legal tussle. NTUC Income offered to waive the S$45,000 legal bill and even offered S$25,000 as a goodwill gesture on condition that Mr Lock drops his appeal

http://motoring.asiaone.com.sg/news/20070212_009.html Million sign e-petition against UK road pricing - Feb 12, 2007 Reuters More than a million Britons have signed an online petition calling on British Prime Minister Tony Blair to abandon plans for a national vehicle tracking and road pricing system. The experimental "e-petition", hosted on Blair's 10 Downing Street website, passed the million mark at the weekend after a surge in support. "The petition gained 300,000 names in five days," said Nigel Humphries of motorist pressure group the Association of British Drivers (ABD). "Road pricing is just another tax -- and a tax that is unfair, expensive to administer and difficult and inconvenient to collect," he said. The petition, which closes on February 20, was submitted by ABD member Peter Roberts and calls on Blair to abandon road pricing and instead "concentrate on improving our roads to reduce congestion." The government is considering proposals to charge motorists for every mile they drive, using satellite tracking technology, with prices depending on the location and the time of day in a bid to counter a growing congestion problem. Transport Secretary Douglas Alexander told the Times the petition would not deter him from commissioning road-pricing trials. "The response to this petition makes the case for more debate, not less, on the issue of road pricing," he said. "It makes me more determined to debate the real issues about how we tackle growing congestion." Initial estimates suggest a tracking scheme could cost drivers up to 1.34 pounds a mile to drive in the busiest areas at rush hour. Transport chiefs argue that unless radical action is taken there will be gridlock on some of Britain's roads in 20 to 30 years. The government has pledged 10 million pounds to fund research into road pricing. Last December a government-sponsored report on transport led by former British Airways chief Rod Eddington said charging motorists to use roads was the only viable option.

Anyone, installed side trim that helps protect against doors banging the car, follows trim line of car? I noticed some cars like Getz has it. The MSCP where I live got plenty of cabs, vans, small lorries parked as the area got lots of eateries/coffeshops, there are lots of non-resident cars around. I dont really fancy parking like at the 4 level Anyway, none of the Aveos I have seen so far got this side strip stuff.

hi guys...recently got this line up. got a certain 21 yr old car 1.6 litre was up against a certain new car m*d*a 6 2.3 Litre For the 0 - 100 dash...there was unified agreement that the certain 21 yr old car would win. But for the 100 and above dash..there was unified agreement that the 21 yr old car would lose to the m*d*a 6. Funny thing is when going from 100 - 190, the certain 21 yr old car was neck to neck all the way with the m*d*a 6!!! This baffled both drivers!!!' Any comments on how a 1.6 litre car can be on par with a 2.3 litre car at such speeds? I am really blur when i see such results.

Check this out. I am really surprised at the outcome. A WOMAN who took BMW distributor Performance Motors to court over a manufacturing defect that made her BMW 728iA overheat won her case in the High Court yesterday. Madam Florence Wee, 44, wanted to return the car to the distributor and get a full refund; or alternatively, damages. The court said she should get damages but ruled that she was not entitled to a full refund. It is rare for such cases to get this far, said her lawyer, Mr Leslie Phua, as such cases are usually settled out of court. Madam Wee, the general manager of an advertising agency, had bought the car for $289,000 in November 1997. She said its cooling system was already defective when she bought it. She sued the company last year. By June 1999, the engine was losing coolant very quickly and every so often the 'check coolant level' indicator would come on. In August 2001, the car overheated while she was driving. She said she had driven it for only three months that year and it was in the workshop the rest of the time. She said she repeatedly asked for the car to be fixed. But even changing the entire engine block did not solve the problem. So she has kept it parked at home since last February. Yesterday, Justice Woo Bih Li ruled that Performance Motors will have to pay damages to Madam Wee. The amount will be assessed later. But he also said it was 'not right' for Madam Wee to return the car and get a full refund when the car had been used for 1 1/2 years before the problem surfaced and had been in two accidents. The judge said he was not convinced by Performance Motors' expert witness, who said the defects resulted from a power surge when the car got into its second accident in May 1999. 'In my view, the car was not of satisfactory quality,' he said. Afterwards, a beaming Madam Wee said she was relieved the case was over. 'I've not encountered such a problem since I started driving at age 18,' she said. She now drives her Subaru Forrester or Nissan Cefiro. 'I will probably scrap the BMW, because it's not safe to drive such an unroadworthy car on the road,' she said, adding she knew of two other BMW 7-series owners who had experienced similar problems with the car. But Performance Motors' Michael Goode, the general manager in charge of after-sales service, said: 'We've never had a problem quite like this one. 'When customers ask us to look at overheating problems, we've been able to resolve them quickly.' In a statement, the company said it was 'pleased to note' that the court decided that Madam Wee was not entitled to reject the car and get a full refund. It had tried to resolve the matter amicably, it said, but unfortunately the parties could not agree. Performance Motors said it had not decided if it would appeal the decision.

Folks This might sound silly but does the colour of a car fade with too much exposure to the sun? I think the interior of a car does but what about the exterior? Are there any wax/liquid protection for both the interior and exterior of a car that keeps fading at bay? I know one solution for the interior is to block out the sun-rays with sun screen. Thanks.

I was at McWell yesterday to rectify my PBV and happened to overhear a conversation between a middle age guy and McWell's sale staff. The man was complaining about Cefiro's high fuel consumption. Said the car drank petrol like water. It was so bad that he eventually sold the car. If I'm not mistaken, he is presently driving a 3-litre car. According to him, the 3-litre car's fuel efficiency is much better than the 2-litre Cefiro. He complained about the hype over Cefiro being the no. 1 selling 2-litre car in Singapore. Said he was misled into buying the car. Is Cefiro that bad when it comes to fuel economy? Actually this is not the first time I heard about Cefiro's fuel efficiency.
