Light 'N Funny..........Plus Opinion: November 2014
https://raycee12.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Light 'N Funny.Plus Opinion. Jokes, thoughts and experiences. Saturday, November 29, 2014. Lies, Damned Lies and Statistics. They say there are lies, there are damned lies. Then there are statistics. This means that statistics are the worst of the three for being untruthful. The fact is statistics don't lie, the people who use them do. I will give you an example. Is all the publicity this brings affecting how the police do their job. The statistics could be interpreted so. Whatever the reason, considerin...

The car industry from my perspective. Simca Car Production By Model : 1947-59. The brand name Simca is an acronym of 'Société Industrielle de Mécanique et Carrosserie Automobile' or 'Mechanical and Automotive Body Manufacturing Company' in English. In other words 'Car Maker'. The company was founded in 1930's by Fiat, and all its early cars were based on Fiat models. The downside of that was export cars were not allowed to compete directly with Fiat. Data source: Freyssenet.com. The 5 was a small car tha...

Light 'N Funny.Plus Opinion. Jokes, thoughts and experiences. Monday, June 29, 2015. Quit When You Are Ahead. A very pretty young speech therapist was getting absolutely nowhere with her Stammer’s Action Group. She had tried every technique in the book, but still they stammered and stuttered. Finally, totally exasperated, she said: "If any of you can tell me where you were born, without stuttering, you can come out with me for an evening at a nightclub.". The Englishman immediately piped up:. I like to h...

Light 'N Funny..........Plus Opinion: Selfish Parking
https://raycee12.blogspot.com/2015/08/selfish-parking.html
Light 'N Funny.Plus Opinion. Jokes, thoughts and experiences. Wednesday, August 12, 2015. We have all seen it, people parking without consideration for others. Some won't be put off by that though,. Especially if they have an SUV vehicle. I assume they are left hand drive. So vehicle ingress will be a challenge. How about the blockade method? It let's the inconsiderate 'parker' know that others do not appreciate such selfishness. Hopefully they will realise their parking is rubbish. NZ - North Island.

The car industry from my perspective. Volvo V40 CC D4 vs Mercedes GLA 200 CDi. Premium compact SUVs are catching on. Many want the versatility that they offer combined with a little class, at the expense of value for money. Still the prestige of the badge is worth it, they tell me. These two were put head to head in the NZ Autocar magazine, so what did they find. First to summarise the combatants. V40 Cross Country D4. NZ$63,000. 2L 4 cyl diesel, 6 speed auto. NZ$65,000. 2.1L diesel 7 speed auto. So when...

Light 'N Funny.Plus Opinion. Jokes, thoughts and experiences. Sunday, May 31, 2015. Finding Joy : Scenario #1. Many years ago wife and I had been on a coach trip in Europe. We were to arrive back in London late afternoon and decided to treat ourselves to a nice hotel for the night before heading up north to relatives later the next day. As is often the case with travel, we got back late and arrived at the hotel about 11pm. We were whisked off to the new hotel. It was a top quality establishment and m...

The car industry from my perspective. Chinese Vehicle Sales In NZ 2009-14. The MG3. Interesting to look at and quite a good car. Chinese vehicles are slowly making inroads into New Zealand. They haven't come with the speed I expected for reasons such as quality and passenger safety concerns. Despite that, they seem to be here to stay and as they get better, so will sales. A recent brand to arrive. They do just a pick-up, in two body configurations and value for money is again the attraction. The 3 and 6 ...

all about cars: European Electric Car Sales By Nation : 2013-15
http://raycee1234.blogspot.com/2015/08/european-electric-car-sales-by-nation.html
The car industry from my perspective. European Electric Car Sales By Nation : 2013-15. Obviously the 2015 figure is for Jan-Jun. On the green side is electric car sales and the blue hybrids and range extended cars. How is Europe progressing on the alternative fuel front? Not all nations report such data but most do and here they are. PEVs: Norway leads the as expected but can such a small market sustain that level of sales? Pure Electric Vehicle (PEV). Is Europe doing enough? Labels: Brand - Electric.
