We are all conditioned to look back to the bygone ages of car production and say of one of them “that was the Golden Age”, “they don’t make them like that anymore” or any one of a number of hoary old cliches which, nevertheless, often ring true to some degree or other. For certain, they do not make cars today like they used to make them. That is simply innovation for you. To make cars like they used to make them would mean a lot of unnecessary expense if it was to involve mass production, so what we have today is exactly what is needed if the car industry is to survive.

Indeed, the recent bailouts of car industries on both sides of the Atlantic have made one thing clearer than ever. The life of a car manufacturer can be quite fleeting if they concentrate more on the car’s lines than the bottom line. Car manufacturers will go bust if things continue the way they have been going. Although there is nothing at all desirable about people losing their jobs, this does have a side benefit, if you look at it in a slightly twisted manner. That is to say that a car which looks excellent today and is made by a company experiencing financial trouble might just be among the last of its kind to be produced – and qualify in later years for the title of “lost classic”. continue reading…

Used car sales and used fire truck sales are not all that different, although the clientele is much more specific in the world of fire trucks. When comparing actual dealers, there are many honest dealers out there trying to provide quality used fire apparatus. Unfortunately, there are also brokers that can give the wrong impression to customers that see a large inventory and assume the website is from a larger dealer.

In reality, used fire truck dealers and brokers work hand in hand. Dealers buy, maintain, and sell on property used fire engines that they hand select. When smaller dealers need help selling their fleet, they give their inventory to a broker. brokers can help with marketing and connecting customers to the dealer, but the broker never truly “owns” an apparatus. However, a broker does take home a referral commission everytime a customer becomes a buyer of a dealer’s used fire truck. continue reading…

Apparently there’s a lamby population in the city of Delhi. Not the run down and battered ones, but the ones in pristine condition and still able and runs around the countryside.

For those not in the knowledge, lambretta, owned by the Innocenti family, begun its life in much the same way as Piaggio did after the 2nd world war. With Italy suffering massive infrastructure harm, these two companies, Piaggio and Innocenti, having their own industries to defend, Piaggio was, and still is, an aircraft manufacturer and Innocenti seamless steel tube producers, invented what we all acknowledge and love today, the new scooter.

Though of dissimilar designs, these two scoots, the vespa and the lambretta ruled the European continent and in the long run disseminated to the India. I’ve no idea when the lambretta was introduced in the country also as who the distributor was, but judging from the respective photos I’ve seen there were rather a bit of those lambretta running around the streets of the India. continue reading…
