Picture: McLaren MP4-12C Go Racing
McLaren officially set its plans to bring back the McLaren name to GT sports cars racing. On 2012, McLaren and CRS Racing will provide and support a partial number of GT3 racing cars based on the McLaren MP4-12C high-performance sports car for European-based privateers.
It was 15 years from the time when the McLaren F1 GTR distinctively won the world-famous 24 Heures du Mans (Le Mans) on its debut, and 12 years since six ‘Longtails’ last raced at Le Mans, McLaren and CRS Racing, a victorious and skilled UK-based racing team, have begun improvement work aimed at turning the 12C road car into a race-winning GT3 sports car. As part of the development program, McLaren and CRS Racing will compete at a limited number of European GT races in 2011.
With the 12C’s revolutionary lightweight one-piece molded carbon chassis (the ‘MonoCell’), its high levels of down force and aerodynamic performance, and its focus on form and function, the 12C should prove to be a great platform on which to develop a racing car, as well as visually setting pulses racing at European race tracks.

Winter Automotive Repair Tips: Tune-up Oil Change Brakes & Cars Exhaust
Normally during the winter season, the last thing on your mind is getting a tune-up or car inspection when actually this is the perfect time. The winter automotive repair tips I will be giving you are for tune-ups, oil changes, brakes, and having your car exhaust system checked out. Other items to include would be your serpentine belt, wheel alignment, suspension parts and if you have an automatic transmission, make sure you have clean transmission fluid. If you decide to do this vehicle, maintenance inspections by your self make sure that you do not install used auto parts for replacement parts. I would recommend that you go to either NAPA or AUTOZONE for your car parts. Their automobile parts are top of the line and you should have no problems using them.
Winter auto repair tips includes auto tuning which is changing out your spark plugs on the newer cars. Now while you are changing out your spark plugs notice the electrodes of each spark plug. Each spark plug will tell a story of how that combustion chamber is performing. For example, an oily tip around the electrode area would indicate that you are burning engine oil inside of that cylinder. Your car engine maybe telling you also that your piston rings or your valve guide seals are beginning to wear and leak engine oil internally. While you are changing your engine oil this is a good time to inspect parts of your exhaust system such as the catalytic converter, muffler, and your tail pipe. If you see, any collapsed exhaust pipes or holes in your muffler or tail pipe then replace these auto parts also.
After you perform, the repairs on the cars exhaust system start inspecting your vehicle’s suspension components. What I mean is to look at your shocks, McPherson struts, upper and lower ball joints and the tie rod ends on both the front and back of the car or truck you are working on. I forgot to mention that while you are working on your vehicle try to practice safety by wearing old winter clothes such as your winter boots for the slippery surface under the car or truck and an old pair of winter gloves to prevent you from being burned. As you can see these winter, automotive repair tips such as your tune-up, oil change, and your car’s exhaust system will prevent you from having car problems and being stranded out in the cold winter months ahead.
Last few automobile parts that need to be inspected and replaced if needed are your front disc brake pads, front brake calipers, rear drum brakes and brake hardware, the car battery, and the condition of your timing belt. Most timing belts need to be inspected or replaced every 60,000 miles to prevent car problems such as broken or bent exhaust and intake valves. Not only will you have a well taken care of vehicle but you will also improve your fuel efficiency. Winter automotive repair tips would not be complete until you hook up your scan tool if you have a “check engine light” and get your obd system scanned and fixed.

Flush and Fill -Cooling System Repairs-Bleeding Air Out of your Car
This article is about bleeding the automotive cooling system now that your car is over heating after some cooling system repairs have been made. Have you ever performed a flush and fill on your car or truck and you notice now that your engine temperature begins to rise until it over heats and boils over out of the radiator? What happens is that during this procedure an air bubble was created inside of your cooling system and created an air pocket. Because of this air pocket, your cooling system has stopped circulating the antifreeze. What you need to do now is purge or bleed the automotive cooling system out until the air bubble is released from your car and it does not over heat any more.
Engines Equipped With Brass Bleeder Screws
Some automotive engines have small brass screws located around the thermostat housing that need to be opened with the car running. You will see small bubbles of antifreeze leaking from the brass screws. When the small bubbles of antifreeze turn into a steady stream of coolant emerging out only then it is time to close the brass screws and fill the radiator back up. Once you have topped off the radiator with the required antifreeze and water 50/50 install the radiator cap and watch the engine gage. Bleeding this type of automotive cooling system when your car is over heating is normally found on the import models.
Engines Without Brass Bleeder Screws
Bleeding the automotive cooling system with out the brass bleeder screws can be very tricky when your car is over heating. On this type of car engine without the brass bleeder screws, you have to bleed the cooling system quite a few times. I have found out over many years of performing flush and fills or repairing the cooling system that you will have to bleed the air out of the system or your car or truck will immediately over heat and your temperature gage will show Hot. If this should happen to you while servicing your cooling system let the car or truck idle until the coolant bubbles disappear and you see a steady flow of antifreeze pouring out of the radiator. You may have to perform this procedure a few times until you quit seeing the air bubbles coming out of your radiator. Turn the engine off, fill the radiator, and install your radiator cap. Bleeding the automotive cooling system when your car is over heating can be dangerous and some times very time consuming.

How The Gas Tax Is Under Threat From Green Vehicles
by Paul Eisenstein
Live in the right part of California and work for the right company and you might be able to buy the new Nissan Leaf for as little as $12,500, as Autoblog has reported, due to the raft of incentives that are available for buyers of the little battery car and other high-mileage, low-emission products.
In recent years, lawmakers have been racing to come up with incentives designed to encourage motorists to migrate to clean, efficient vehicles. It's a clearly noble effort, but one that deserves a closer look in an era of fiscal restraint.
Several states are looking at a more direct form of taxation: a per-mile usage fee on battery-based vehicles.
The feds, and most states offering such incentives, have put caps on their zero-emission incentive programs, and most will vanish by mid-decade. But, ironically, if these programs do what they're intended to, the fiscal impact could be felt for years to come. It turns out that going green could plunge state and federal balance sheets into the red.The short-term costs are already potentially significant. At the federal level, a $7,500 tax credit could drain billions of dollars a year out of the Treasury if major automakers come even close to their battery car sales targets by mid-decade.
Such cash incentives – along with other perks, such as access to California's HOV lanes – are designed to motivate the move to vehicles like the Leaf and the new Chevrolet Volt. Once momentum starts building, these givebacks can be phased out, proponents contend. But they're missing a big part of the picture.

What is The 30,000, 60,000 and 90,000 Mile Auto Service
Have you ever saw an auto repair shop that advertises a 30,00, 60,000, and 90,000 mile service for your car or truck and wondered what that was all about? I want to give you a better understanding what is included and why you should seriously consider having this done. These types of automotive services are very important to you and your car or truck especially going into this weather change. Always remember the mileage on our vehicles determines what type of maintenance is needed.
If your vehicle is under twelve thousand miles then you should not have to worry about any kinds of car maintenance needing to be done right now. Obviously this does not fall into the category of 30,000,60,000,and 90,000 mile services offered. The only thing you should have done by now is to make sure your oil has been changed at least twice by now. These types of newer vehicles have warrantees that will cover you in case you have any car problems. So basically anything under 12,000 miles should be good to go for the upcoming winter weather.
Auto repair shops usually advertise the 30,000, 60,000 and the 90,000 mile services and checks when the weather changes. I have found that these type of services usually offer the public the right kind of auto repair maintenance that needs to be done at these service intervals. A few of these services include replacing the spark plugs, air and fuel filters, and the oil change. I can honestly say these types of services are very important to consider if you do not like to write down and keep track of every automotive service that you receive. These types of auto repair shops know what to check and replace for you at these service intervals. All of the services are also recommended by the car dealerships who have their own 30,000, 60,000, and 90,000 mile type of service.
I hope this will give you a better understanding of why these 30,000 60,000 and 90,000 mile services are offered to the public. Normally the prices advertised up front and in the news papers are just the four cylinders. The six and eight cylinder prices will be a lot more because of the extra labor involved performing the 30,000 60,000 and 90,000 mile service to your vehicle. But believe me when I say these are excellent services offered for the people who just likes to get in their cars and drive without worrying if you forgot a service that was needed. You can feel confident that you were caught up as far as performing your vehicle maintenance when the auto repair shop finishes.

Midas Auto Service Centers Over Selling Automotive Repairs in California
I can relate with this article I read this morning about Midas Auto Service Centers over selling automotive parts and repairs. I spent some time in my earlier years working for Midas Auto Service Centers but mostly in the mid west area. I can tell you some stories that would curl your hair sort of speak. But I can tell you some customer experiences I had while working there.
One thing I do remember that sounds a little like the above article is there were incentives to over sell more than what was needed sort of speak. I can remember the big screen television sets for whoever sold the most or who had the highest selling ticket averages. I can honestly say that not all Midas Auto Service Centers over sell auto repairs. The reason why I can say that is when I transferred to another Midas location in another state there was no incentives to over sell the customer. I was surprised!
This new Midas Auto Service Center’s location was in the south west and did pay their technicians very well. Maybe that is the reason why some Midas shops over sell their auto repair services such as this one in California. I understood the owner of the Midas shops in question has over 22 Midas Auto Service Centers. I can see how maybe they had a competition between the stores to see who had the highest sales each month. I know the automotive technicians aren’t worried about their Midas stores going under because they can just move to another location or franchise.
The tactics they maybe using are ones such as telling the customer, “when you replace one you have to replace the other.” This will always get the unsuspecting customer to buy. Another common tactic to use in these brake repair shops are to use broken micrometers and measuring devices to show the customer their automotive parts are out of specifications and need to be replaced. This is over selling automotive parts and repairs. I can honestly say when it comes to Midas Automotive Service Centers, the owners are always insisting on over selling to raise their ticket averages. In my opinion they can either pay their technicians better or resort to illegal over selling tactics such as the ones in California.
So in short if you want to take something away from this article make sure that you get a second opinion on your auto repairs. Most auto repair shops will try to beat a competitors price just to get your business. Midas Auto Service Centers need to take a look around and see these shady tactics will only last so long and when it comes to over selling auto repairs, do not do it.

Choosing a Reliable Car to Rent When You Travel
Choosing a reliable car to rent when you travel is a must when you are going on vacation. Renting a car is a superb idea when it comes to not having to worry about the car breaking down and spoiling your vacation time. Can you imagine if you were on vacation with your family and your own personal car was to get hot and your check engine light were to come on how much trouble this would cause? Well with a reliable car that you are renting when you travel you would not have to worry about anything like this. Especially if the car rental company is known to only rent or lease very nice cars and trucks.
As we talk about car repairs here on this blog this is one idea that never crossed my mind. Let some one else take care of the car maintanence for you with a rental car while you are on vacation. And when you choose a reliable car rental service who has numerous locations around the world you can just switch cars if your rental was to some how break down on you. I think the next time I plan on going on my Vacation for instance like in France, I will plan on choosing a reliable car rental company such as SIXT Car Rentals France ,to take care of all of my car rental needs!
As a matter of fact I plan on telling everyone I know to consider the idea of renting a car rather than driving your own so you can just enjoy your vacation. So remember choosing a reliable car to rent when you travel is a must.

Renault unveils Sandero Stepway concept in Brazil
by Noah Joseph
If you've ever heard of the Dacia Sandero, it's probably from Clarkson teasing James May about it on Top Gear. The no-nonsense, bare-bones hatchback – sold alternatively as a Renault in markets where its budget subsidiary Dacia doesn't exist – is a favorite of Captain Slow.
In South America, the Sandero also comes as a crossover version called the Stepway, and taller though it is, it's just as decidedly spartan. That didn't stop Renault from drumming up some excitement over the budget range, however, with the show car you see here.
Envisioned as a successor to the current model and closer to a junior Duster, the Sandero Stepway Concept dials up the glitz factor just a touch with a sporty body kit, three-tone paint scheme and enough blue LEDs to light up the trendiest of night clubs. Also, some flower decals... for some reason. The result is something akin to a futuristic cup of cappuccino...

Kevin Durant's GMC Van Video
He passes wilting power lines and inoperative oil derricks and enormous fields of delicate yellow grass pocked with snow before turning onto a two-lane road and, just past the John Deere factory, pulling into the parking lot of the practice center, a converted roller rink. Unfolding his 6'9" frame from the van, Durant ambles past the strange rabbit lounge in the bushes and enters the gym for another day of work.

Michael Jordan's $430,000 Mercedes McLaren For Sale?
Michael Jordan has bought a 2007 Mercedes McLaren SLR 722. It is said that it is one of the best cars that was made. But as of now, he's selling it after only driving it 962 miles? The McLaren can be yours for $430,000, which is a little precious for that brand even if the wheels were spun for fewer than a thousand miles (considering it cost around $475,000 new). The sellers are clearly factoring in the whole "Michael Jordan owned this car" addition.

Umbrella Auto Design tricks out the Nissan GT-R's cockpit
by Noah Joseph
If the Nissan GT-R is going to seriously take on the Porsche 911, it's going to need to do a bit better on the interior fit and finish. Nissan's own people realized that much when they launched the Egoist edition of the new GT-R, but what if you've already got your Godzilla in the driveway? What are you to do then?
Turn to Umbrella Auto Design, that's what. The Seattle-based tuners have announced an aftermarket retrofit for the GT-R's interior that swathes the entire cabin – seats, dashboard, console, instrument binnacle, steering wheel, door panels, shift levers, etc. in luxe and racy black ultra-suede with silver diamond quilting and top-stitch. They've even repainted the plastics in black to match. Looks pretty slick, and they can reportedly carry it out on any GT-R in about three weeks. Check it out in the gallery below.

Width (inches) 78.5
Height (inches) 68.3
Wheelbase (inches) 118.1
The Honda Odyssey Concept that was on display at the Chicago Auto Show introduces a smooth and unique exterior styling direction for the next generation of the industry's best-selling minivan, set to debut this fall, American Honda Motor Co., Inc., as it was announced.
The Odyssey Concept significantly departs from usual minivan styling with its low and wide stance, highlighted by a "lightning-bolt" beltline that further distinguishes the vehicle's profile. Compared to the current Odyssey, the Concept's slightly lower roofline (-1.0 inch) and wider stance (+1.4 inch) contribute to a sleeker, stronger and more dynamic presence with improved aerodynamics that help increase fuel economy. Forthcoming improvements to the production Odyssey's interior are designed to further enhance the current model's accommodating space for people and cargo.
The steeply raked front and rear roof pillars, unique side-glass profile, chamfered roof line, and tapered rear cabin shape combine to create a dynamic and distinctive appearance from any perspective. The lightning-bolt beltline dives toward the rear of the vehicle emphasizing the new Odyssey's sporty appearance while enhancing outward visibility for third-row passengers. Aggressive body-to-wheel proportions reduce the perception of vertical height common to most minivan designs. Fender flares further accent the vehicle's securely planted and stylish persona. The concept vehicle's projector beam headlights, LED taillights and form-fit fog lights further heighten the sophisticated quality of the design.

Usher Buys Justin Bieber A Car?
Is this for real? Justin Bieber might be a teen heartthrob, the popular singer of the song "Baby" (see the above music video) and be the man of the moment on the pop scene, but things got even better for the teen after Usher bought him a brand new Range Rover car!?? Bieber turned 16 earlier this month and marked the occasion by having a huge party with all his friends in Los Angeles, but his Sweet Sixteenth was marked by his mentor Usher when the Yeah! hitmaker unveiled a brand new Range Rover for the teen.
"I haven't really bought anything; I haven't really went out and bought a bunch of stuff," Bieber told JSYK. "I bought myself a laptop, but that's pretty much it. My biggest thing I'm probably going to get is my car next year. Probably a Maserati or the new Range Rover." When the Canadian pop singer recently dropped by the British TV show Live From Studio Five, he revealed that Usher hooked him up with a brand-new Range Rover for his sweet 16. "I was in L.A (for my birthday)," he said. "I went to L.A. first and I had a party out there for all my friends and stuff and then we went to Toronto and had a family party up there. (Usher) helped buy me a car. He bought me a Range Rover. I can drive."

Car Tips For The Fall and Winter Time Driving
Although October is car care month, here are more tips to get you caught up on your car maintenance for Winter time driving. On the icy and wet road surfaces you need to have your tires inspected for proper tread wear. Your tires have tread wear indicators built in so that your local tire shop will be able to tell you when it is time to replace them. Fall and winter time driving will be more safe when you have the proper tread exposed to give you more traction during the wet Fall and Winter time driving.
I cant stress enough on having your car’s antifreeze tested and having the right amount mixed together. One tip to remember here is to have your antifreeze mixed to at least thirty five degrees below zero to prevent engine freeze ups. You could also have your radiator freeze up and cause it to burst resulting in an expensive replacement. Car maintenance tips such as these are very important not to forget. Although these are directed at Fall and Winter time driving, do not forget to also check your antifreeze in the month of April also.
The Fall and Winter is the time to check the condition of your wiper fluid bottle and the hoses connecting to the wiper blades. Mostly in the Winter time driving the wiper fluid bottle can freeze up and burst also like your radiator. Make sure in the Fall time you have these items inspected as you will need and depend on them to get you through the Winter. One other tip here is to check the hoses as they can freeze up also and prevent any wiper fluid to reach your windshield. You can go to any parts store and find the small windshield wiper hose needed to replace it with. Remember the Fall and Winter time driving will bring a lot of mud and slush preventing you to see from your windshield.
Any Fall and Winter time driving can cause you to break down no matter how much you think you are ready for the weather change. It is always a good idea to keep a small survival kit with you while traveling out there on the highways. Car maintenance is still a good idea and will help you in the weather change but you cannot rely on this. Some other items that you cannot be ready for out there driving in the Fall and Winter are things like your electrical and electronic components. There is no way of getting ready for these items to fail.
I hope these other car maintenance tips will prepare you for the Fall and Winter time driving and also help you to keep safe out there.

Como le he dicho al despedirnos: Ten fuerza Manuel. Gracias a todos.

CARLOS ROZADA DIJO:
Hola soy C.Rozada, compañero de pza castilla, y soy el unico que queda con contrato de baja, que llevo ya dos años y medio y que me consta que este comite si ha luchado, por los 14 compañeros de la bolsa, y despues de sus esfuerzos, no consiguieron meterme a mi en esa bolsa, ¿es un pena verdad?. pero solo quiero deciros una cosa,que apoyeis a este comite, que no sabeis lo que teneis, ya que la inmensa mayoria de vosotros, solo coneceis, lo que era CONTINENTAL-AUTO, ahora ALSA y no sabeis NADA de lo que hay en el sector, yo en mi caso particular, antes en el DISCRECIONAL, para llevarte 2000 pavos, tenias que currar los 30 dias del mes,12 horas diarias (escondiendo discos,cambiando de autobus,etc.....), y aqui te los llevas igual, currando la mitad, osea que, no seais tan altivos, egocentricos, etc.... y acordaros de los de contrato, los de la bolsa, los nuevos etc...ya que todos habeis pasado, por eso, y siempre recordad que teneis hijos, amigos, conocidos, que como no lucheis, para que se hagan indefinidos, no los vais a poder meter en esta empresa. UN SALUDO COMPAÑEROS.......
