How People Pick Popular Cars Like Vauxhalls at Perrys

We never outgrow our need to play. It’s easy to see how we substitute real automobiles for our toy cars as we grow up. Of course, toy cars are a lot more affordable and easier to buy than real cars. However, the task of looking for the best brand, model, and price to suit anyone’s automotive needs should really be as easy as picking a toy car.

Perrys is one veteran company in England that provides an online interactive take on car search, selection, and purchases. It’s particularly known through customer word-of-mouth testimonial as a Vauxhall dealer where one can choose the vehicle-of-choice quickly through its interactive website.

Perry’s clients have access to the official website’s interface without the need to log in. Among the consistent search favorites are the ever-popular mini, the Vauxhall Corsa, and the robust yet elegant Vauxhall Insignia. Purchase details are made available with the click of the mouse. This ease of access is viewed as the reason why Perrys manages to expedite incoming orders, particularly for bestselling Vauxhall models.

Perrys has dealerships in key locations in the U.K. Old and new models of brands of interest like Vauxhall can be found by buyers with the Car, Dealership, and Hot Deals Search features of the website. Navigation is provided by a tabbed layout that identifies, selects, and displays the pages available. To keep clients and customers up to date on the latest offers, Perrys gives the option to subscribe to an online newsletter.

The notable contents of the site include the milestones which are accessible in the About Us page which is also where the history of Perrys may be viewed. The company shows how it has built the business and changed with the times with over a hundred years of experience in the automobile industry.

DID YOU KNOW?

This Vauxhall concept car, called the Flextreme, takes the design sensibilities of Vauxhall to new extremes. It's totally the future of cars not only in how it's made to be compact and spacious - but underneath the hood itself - with an extended-range electric vehicle technology system that gets its power from a lithium-ion battery. Coupled with a 1.3 turbo-diesel onboard engine, this is a car that truly extends the typical hybrid range to extremes. It's been given in 2008 with the prestigious international Red Dot Design Singapore Award. This is one toy gadget we would find hard to outgrow.

This Pen Lets You Pick Colors

If you've used a handy tool in a graphics-rendering software that can pick color (the Pick Color Tool), then you know how useful it is in drawing pictures. But that's when using the computer. What if that Pick Color tool is integrated in a real pen that you can hold in your hand? Wouldn't that be a cool product of technology?

There's this new gadget still under technological development that allows a user to pick any color by placing the tip on a surface that has color and it automatically mixes colors inside of it to produce the color it has scanned. It's a pen set inside a single pen! You may want one, but it may take some time as this pen may need to be thick to store everything that it needs to deliver what it promises.

A Teddy Bear Phone Is Something to Bear With

It used to be that the shoe is the most popular clothing item that is often depicted as a phone in fictional shows like Dick Tracy. But these days, practically anything can be turned into a mobile phone.

Shown here is a teddy bear phone that lets you speed dial by pinching it's paws. It's cute, but not something that you'd use at the office if you not out to get attention. Just imagine yourself with this pressed against the side of your head in a meeting.

Shower Radio - Finally There is a Good One

by H. Y. Wong

A shower radio is one of those useful bathroom gadgets that many people would be pleased to have. You can listen to weather and traffic news while taking a warm shower first thing in the morning, so that you know what to expect on your way to the office. After a hard day's work, you can tune into your favorite jazz music station while having a relaxing bath. It just makes your showering and bathing experience so much more enjoyable.

The most important quality of a radio intended for bathroom use is that it has to be waterproof. Most ordinary radios will not be able to endure the humid environment of a bathroom, let alone survive an accidental drop into a bath tub filled with water. This is why shower radios have to be specially designed.

There are many shower radios on the market. Unfortunately, according to user reviews, most of these radios suffer from one or more of the following problems: shoddy construction, cheap materials, inadequate water insulation, lack of durability, poor signal reception and low sound quality. In particular, many users complain of difficulties tuning into their favorite stations. A lot of these radios have poor antennas and thus are unable to receive as many AM/FM channels as ordinary radios. And even if they do, the reception is often fuzzy and intermittent. This problem is often made worse by cheap loudspeakers that play hollow and tinny sounds.

It seems that many manufacturers have not got serious with designing and manufacturing radios designed for the bathroom. The end result is that shower radios are often perceived as inherently low quality products.

Fortunately this is not always true. The good news is that there are good ones around, though they are few and far between. One of them is the Sangean H201. There are many good things to be said about this radio but four main ones are: excellent AM/FM radio reception, crystal clear sound, tough water resistance and high build quality. It is a cut above other similar products on the market. From consumer reviews, the Sangean H201 has shown that it can tune into stations that other shower radios have difficulty receiving, and that its sound quality is excellent with hardly any distortion even at high volumes. Its solid, sturdy, high quality construction also impresses many users. Furthermore it comes with other useful features like 10 station presets, LCD display, clock, timers and two mounting options.

With the Sangean H201, you will now be able to truly enjoy high quality radio broadcasts while taking a shower or having a bath.
