And the winner is.....

Car buyer wins back £7,000 with ‘Safe and Sound’ and Luigi Motor Services.

Safe&Sound announce the winner of “Win the value of your car draw”, which was running until September 2012.

Mrs Angela Davies from Wakefield purchased her VW Polo on the 15^th August 2011, and just over one year on, she was delighted when safe and sound telephoned her last week to say that Sir Stirling had done the draw and that she was the lucky person, winning back the £6,949 which she paid originally!

Mrs Davies couldn’t believe it, commenting: “I thought it was a wind up at first, then the lady mentioned my car and the draw, and it was only then that I half believed it. I was so glad when Nick from Luigi's rang me so I knew it wasn’t a dream.

“The reason I bought my VW Polo from Luigi’s in the first place is because of all the things that were included free of charge and the fantastic service from the staff. I knew that I didn’t have to worry about my car not being what it should have and everything was explained clearly. I even decided to purchase an additional two years warranty because I was so impressed with the cover which includes wear and tear. For me as a female driver, you can’t get more peace of mind than buying from a ‘Safe and Sound’ dealer. The money is really going to come in handy and I think I’ll treat myself to a cruise, so thank you very much indeed!”

The ‘win the value of your car’ draw was running as an incentive for vehicle buyers to choose a ‘Safe and Sound’ dealership for their next car.

 

We at Luigi Motors of Stockport are delighted when it was announced that it was one of our customers who had won.

Sales manager Nick Raimo comments: “We’ve been a ‘Safe and Sound’ dealership for around a year now after hearing that Sir Stirling Moss was endorsing the scheme, which was all the reassurance we needed to offer it to our customers. Then we found out about the competition to win the value of your car. We never thought it would ever be one of our customers randomly selected by Sir Stirling Moss. So you can imagine our shock when we were called by Adrian our account manager to tell us Mrs Davies had won almost £7,000! After asking him three times to stop pulling my leg he told me that Mrs Davies was called and told this morning. Once I’d calmed down I rang Mrs Davies to arrange for her to come and collect her prize.”

When Mrs Davies was told that she may have to pose for a few photographs as she collected her winnings, she added: “I am camera shy but £7,000 will talk me round!”

 

Congratulations to Mrs Davies, we hope you enjoy your prize. Thank you to  ‘Safe and Sound’ for holding the free draw, and of course to Sir Stirling Moss for drawing the winner!

New Porsche Boxster Shown at Geneva

Porsche finaly taken the wraps off its all-new Boxster at the Geneva Motor Show. The New Boxster is now 35kg lighter, more fuel efficient and has more power than ever.

This new Boxster is capable of lapping the Nurburgring in 7 minutes and 58 seconds - 12 seconds faster than the previous model. With the roof up it's also 50 per cent quieter.

The styling has also been refreshed, but in true Porsche style the changes are evolutionary rather than radical at first galance we don't think your be able to tell. A longer wheelbase, widened track and bigger wheels (18-inch on the Boxster, 19-inch on the Boxster S) will be the biggest clues if you park the new model next to its predecessor gen2.

Shorter rear and front overhangs and a more steeply raked windscreen to create a more streamline look to the car. The roof is still made from fabric, but is now exposed behind the cockpit when lowered.

The new interior gets a larger seven-inch colour touchscreen simlair to the one fitted in the Gen2. Porsche claims that the inspiration for the new layout came from the Carrera GT hypercar sold from 2004-2006.

The biggest change your notice with the new Boxster has to be the engine, with the entry-level 2.9-litre flat-six replaced by a new smaller 2.7-litre unit. Not the same 2.7 which was scraped with the change to the 2.9. Despite downsizing, they have found more power and extra 10bhp which now takes it to 261bhp. The Bosxter S sticks with its 3.4-litre flat-six, but gains an extra 5bhp taking its total to 311bhp. Both engines are fitted with stop-start.

The performance has also improved, The new Boxster accelerates from 0-62mph in 5.7 seconds – a tenth of a second faster than the  previous model, while the Boxster S takes exactly 5 seconds – an improvement of two tenths.

A six-speed manual is now fitted as standard, but if you want to extract maximum performance and the best possible fuel economy, The seven-speed PDK gearbox is required. With the PDK fuel consumption is improved by up to 15 per cent, with the Boxster returning 36.7mpg and the Boxster S managing 35.3mpg.

The Boxster S now comes standard with partial leather and Xenon headlights. The new Boxster goes on sale at the end of April priced from £37,589 for the Boxster and £45,384 for the Boxster S.

Tokyo Motor Show - Toyota Fun-Vii Concept

Japan this year wanted to show they are back with car makers returning to Tokyo's show after a shock of the past 2 years. Over the past 2 years Japan  has found it hard in the car market with Toyota's bad press, the Lehman Brother crash the global economic down turn and majour prestige car makers pulling out of the country's automotive event. Japan is now back for a come back not just after all these problem but post-tsunami of last March.

There were many models shown off and cars, including Toyota's new GT-86. What you all want to know about is the stupid concepts that will never be seen again.

I know I should hate it, but I kinda love it. I don't know why or how but I want them to make it I kind of love the design and the idea behind it.

Many of you are now about to stop reading our blog and go back to searching our website stock to find your self a nice porsche but for everyone still reading, let me tell you about the Toyota Fun-Vii and why I love it.

The Fun-Vii is a concept it will never be built, but we may see some of its idea's around in the far future of cars? Its made up of LCD touch screens for the body work, making it a BIG ipad. Yes I said it, maybe it should of been called the Icar rather than the Vii.

Now you may think its pointless having LCD screen on a car but trust me its not think of it as eva changing paint. How many times have we wished we had a red car one day and a black another, well this would allow you to just do it or display some lovely flowers or patterns. You could even have it say BUY ME and with it being a touch screen you could do stuff on it, add notes, and kids wouldn't vandal it they'd be playing games on it!
