GMC Syclone vs Typhoon: cooking up a storm - Simon Hucknall @Classic & Sports Car

‘Think of it as a Porsche 911 that really “hauls”,’ reads GMC’s 1991 advert for this discreet-looking pick-up.Glitzy wheels and a subtly lower ride-height aside, it could have been the truck that ma or pa used to collect groceries from Fresh Pickens, just off Route 66.But the Porsche-shaming data running below would have shattered that quaint image faster than a moonshiner’s quarter-mile…

Rolling Stone Magazine Top 200 Singers - The Omissions List

Once in awhile, I’ll do a music themed blog post and boy do I have a post for you. Rolling Stone Magazine opens 2023 with a list that no one asked for. Their 200 Singers list is an all time low for the once flourishing magazine. When you include auto-tuned singers like Billie Eilish, Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Ariana Grande, Lana Del Ray and dull as dishwater singers (again, my opinion) like Morrissey, Courtney Love, Michael Stipe, Bono, Bruce Springsteen and Eddie Vedder, you lose credibility in my book. Here are the singers of different backgrounds, genres, and vocalizations (in alphabetical order) that Rolling Stone failed to include on their inept list:

Jon Anderson

Julie Andrews

Paul Anka

Tina Arena

Charles Aznavour

Michael Ball

Jimmy Barnes

The Bee Gees (Barry, Maurice and Robin Gibb)

Pat Benatar

Tony Bennett

Andrea Bocelli

Michael Bolton

Gary Brooker

Jack Bruce

Simply Banshee

When Simply Red’s “Holding Back the Years” topped the charts here in Toronto I remember a buddy asking ‘Is that Carly Simon?’ No, it was red-head Mick Hucknall. The band’s first lp was Picture Book (1985), which at that time I had as cassette. I have that & Men and Women (1987), A New Flame (1989), Stars (1991) in my collection. The band was good, if unexceptional, the original songs were good,…

VAUXHALL’S SCRAPPAGE SCHEME IS BACK WITH £2,000 TOWARDS A NEW CAR has been published at http://www.theleader.info/2017/05/23/vauxhalls-scrappage-scheme-back-2000-towards-new-car/

New Post has been published on http://www.theleader.info/2017/05/23/vauxhalls-scrappage-scheme-back-2000-towards-new-car/

VAUXHALL’S SCRAPPAGE SCHEME IS BACK WITH £2,000 TOWARDS A NEW CAR

£2,000 Scrappage Allowance offered towards the cost of a new Vauxhall

Option to combine scrappage allowance with one of Vauxhall’s flexible finance offers

Luton – Vauxhall is making its range of cars even more affordable with the return of its popular Scrappage Allowance Scheme. The programme offers customers £2,000 (including VAT) towards a new Vauxhall when they trade in their old car for scrappage.

Customers can combine the Scrappage Allowance with one of Vauxhall’s great finance offers including Personal Contract Payment plans and with finance deposit contributions, where applicable. Available on a selection of Vauxhall models, the finance options give low monthly payments and all the flexibility that the plans allow at the end of the chosen term.

The scrappage programme is available now for a limited time while stocks last, and is eligible on selected new models ordered and registered before 30th June 2017. The programme allows customers to turn in their old vehicle and get £2,000 towards the cost of a new model from Vauxhall’s award-winning range. Drivers can choose from ADAM, Corsa, Meriva, Astra and Mokka X models.

“Our ever popular Scrappage Allowance Scheme is back, this time with a guaranteed trade-in value of £2,000.” said Leon Caruso, Vauxhall’s Retail Sales Director. “Not only can customers potentially swap their older, often higher polluting car for a cleaner, more efficient brand new Vauxhall, but they can also use scrappage in conjunction with some of Vauxhall’s other great finance offers.”

As part of the scheme, vehicles must be traded in to be scrapped in order to be eligible for the allowance.

Vauxhall takes its responsibility for its products very seriously and this increased volume of scrap cars will help the industry meet its 95 per cent recovery target. However, Vauxhall’s scrappage programme is not designed to rid the world of classic cars. As a result, Autogreen, Vauxhall’s recycling partner, will identify any cars manufactured prior to 1991 that are presented through the scheme and inform Vauxhall’s Luton HQ. Relevant owners’ clubs will then be notified, giving them the opportunity to purchase parts through the Authorised Treatment Facility.

“Vauxhall has immense respect for the UK’s classic car groups, irrespective of what make or model they support,” said Simon Hucknall, PR Manager for Vauxhall Product and Heritage. “The Scrappage Allowance is designed to capture vehicles that are beyond economical repair, and given the low value of scrap metal, recycling of parts is vital to the scheme’s viability. We’re also confident that the number of genuine classics over 25 years old presented to the scheme will be minimal, especially given the steady rise in value of even the most mainstream collectors’ cars in recent years. But if we do see any, our ‘safety-net’ will ensure that classic car owners and clubs will benefit.”

For full terms and conditions please visit www.vauxhall.co.uk or your local Vauxhall retailer.

Ford Mustang Boss 302 vs Mach 1: two-trick ponies - Simon Hucknall @Classic & Sports Car

Like watching an episode of Countryfile with incidental music by Motörhead, wrestling this 1970 Boss Mustang along sinuous roads against a bucolic English backdrop rankles a little. It’s no fault of the car, a more perfect example of which would be hard to find. The Mustang Boss 302 (left) and Mach 1 represent a golden era for Ford’s famous pony car It’s more that the Boss 302’s headbanging…

Jacksoul to Jamiroquai

There was a time whenMuchMusic actually showed music videos!! One of the Canada bands that shone was Jacksoul lead by the talented Haydain Neale. I have their ABsolute, sleepless, Resurrected as stand alones. The sound is radio & music video friendly sweet soul with jazz touches. The songs are plaintive, romantic, & smooth to the ear. Neale has/had a very appealing voice. Very John Legend. Sadly…
