S-MAXimizing Ford Potentials
Wednesday, January 18, 2006, posted by Jay Stevens at 8:40 PM


For Europe, Ford has certainly been makings its rounds. And to strengthen its European range, Ford has once again crafted another vehicle to make history. And that is the new Ford S-MAX. This new vehicle is quite sporty to look at and to drive. It also maximizes space and flexibility.



This new model is a part of the Ford of Europe vehicle portfolio. Around the middle of this year, the S-MAX will then be on sale. It is scheduled to be debuted to the market at the 2006 Geneva Motor Show in March.

This is quite non-traditional for it owns up to a three-seat-row vehicle and has the profile, proportions and appearance that reflect an active lifestyle. It exudes potential for even more diversity in the heart of the Ford family car range. This vehicle is also the first production model from the company to feature elements of the kinetic design direction that was first shown on the Iosis concept vehicle.

All of these are made possible by Ford Motor Company's shared technology approach which has actually the potential and power to create more diverse body styles and vehicle formats. A Ford deserves only Ford parts which are widely available at Ford Parts Discount. And yes, affordable they are and made from quality material. I've tried them myself with my own Ford.

Safety Reminders on Installing Lights
Thursday, January 12, 2006, posted by Jay Stevens at 6:24 PM


Ford Taurus. I just surfed the net and found Ford Parts Discount. This store has everything that I needed from a Ford top panel to Ford wheels, Ford tailgate and Ford headlights.

Aside from high quality ford Taurus parts, you can also find in the store great variety of Ford Mustang parts, Ford Explorer parts, Ford Ranger parts and so much more. Just in case you need them for your own Ford auto, you can just go the site and locate the parts that you need.

In case you’re replacing your lights, you might want to take note of these reminders I got online:

1. Make sure the negative terminal of the battery is disconnected.

2. Remove the bumper first if you can’t test-fit the fog lights into the desired position.

3. Clean the area where you are going to place the fog lights thoroughly to avoid any inconvenience.

4. Make sure that the wires are placed in a secure location and are grounded (you can ground it on your car’s chassis or negative lead of the battery).

5. If you are running the wires through a hole, make sure that the hole is lined with a grummet so as not to damage the wires and thus, prevent shorting.

Hope that helped!

Aston Martin Rapide: Luxury at Its Best
Thursday, January 05, 2006, posted by Jay Stevens at 6:42 PM


What else can you expect from a renowned British luxury car manufacturer such as Aston Martin (part of the Premier Automotive Group of Ford Motor Company)? There probably is no other word to describe it but the best. But if there’s something better than the best, Aston Martin’s new Aston Martin Rapide would be it.

It’s not surprising for Aston Martin to build luxurious and overtly stylish cars but with the new Rapide, you’d surely be impressed even more. Top Gear describes it as “the best way of getting three girls to go out with you at once.”

Unmistakably right. It’s the sexiest driving machine you can ever see on the road.

The new Aston Martin Rapide is five meters long, about the size of a Mercedes Benz S-Class, a Maserati Quattroporte or a Porsche Panamera. It has four of the traditional Aston Martin “swan doors,” the front end of an Anton Martin DB9 and an all new rear end featuring a hatchback.

But more than its gorgeous and elegant styling and highly sophisticated interior, the Rapide boasts lots of utility and performance. Huge load area is provided at the back end and if you fold down the rear seats, you can even sleep in the back of the car. Dr Ulrich Bez, chairman and CEO of Aston Martin says even two six-footers can comfortably stretch inside the car.

Rapide carries an impressively powerful engine, which is actually Aston Martin DB9’s V12 upgraded from 450 horsepower to 480 horsepower. Despite its bigger size and greater weight, the Rapide is able to accelerate quickly from 0 to 60 mph in about five seconds and run more than 180 mph.

You can look forward to seeing this breath-taking luxury car from Aston Martin in the upcoming North American International Auto show in Detroit. I’ll keep you posted about that most awaited auto show. But for the meantime, I invite you to check out Ford Parts Online’s excellent deals on quality Ford parts.
