racing to rescue

Archive for December, 2009

For young professionals and graduates throughout the United Kingdom and Europe, there may have been no bigger thrill in their lives than learning to drive a car. This rite of passage is something that teenagers experience all over the world and the first car a person has can influence their perception of motor vehicles in the future. Graduates with degrees in design, engineering, advertising, and business administration often overlook the everyday automobile during their job search. Automotive companies in the United Kingdom, Europe, and beyond are always looking for talented graduates to learn the automotive process and help compete in a difficult marketplace.

From conceptual design to the sales floor, there are a number of jobs that graduates can use to break into the exciting world of automobiles. Young professionals interested in managing production processes and the actual physical assembly of vehicles can get involved as production engineers. Graduates who want to help develop new automobiles from step one can get involved in design departments at international car companies. Other graduates interested in developing the catchy advertising campaigns we see on television all the time can get involved in automotive advertising departments.

The automotive industry is incredibly competitive and graduates need to be aware of the ups and downs of the industry before applying for a permanent position. Just ten years ago, Ford Motor Company in the United States was an industry leader while Honda, Toyota,and Hyundai were at the bottom of the automotive market. At present, the roles have reversed with Ford sinking down and Honda and Toyota rising to the top. With such a constantly changing market, graduate professionals need to understand that their jobs may not always be safe. Automotive companies in financial trouble will shut down factories, sell off subsidiaries, and close down departments to streamline their operations. Graduates need to recognize the volatility of the industry before committing to it fully.

Graduates who find jobs at automotive companies will find them lucrative financially and personally. Entry level engineers make salaries in the mid 30,000 pounds, varying with company size and stability. Perks, benefits, and other financial incentives are offered by automotive companies to keep talented graduates and young professionals in their positions. As well, graduates should consider their vocation to be a noble one. After all, developing safe and reliable automobiles for families around the world is an important job.

Does ATV riding have to be expensive?

Okay, you’ve seen people riding on them, you’ve heard exciting stories about the trails, parks and off road adventures and you want to be part of the fun but you “think” that taking up the ATV sport is just too expensive for you. If you have been holding back because you have been made to believe that ATVs are just for the rich, think again. Picking up ATV as a recreational sport does not have to burn a hole through your pockets. You just got to learn the tricks and tips of enjoying the fun of ATVing without having to leave a burning smell on your wallet.

Here are some great ideas that we, Jackel Motorsports, would like to share with you on some great tips to have fun ATVing – without having to pay too much for it.

1. Rent first, buy later

If you are just a beginner in ATV sports, we recommend that you first rent the ATV that you are considering to buy before you put in your hard earned cash into getting your own machine. With renting, you get to try out different types of models, until you find the perfect one for yourself. Don’t let your emotions get the better of you when it comes time to purchase your very own ATV – do some homework and scout around for the best deal.

2. Give it a haul

Remember, if you get your own ATV, you must also think of a way to haul it. If you own a pickup truck or a van, you are good to go. Most pickup trucks or vans make good ways of transporting ATVs. Even if you don’t any of these vehicles, don’t panic – you can always rent a trailer with a built in ramp to transport your ATV.

3. The right tools

Sure, ATV tools can be quite costly, but if you plan to do routine maintenance on your machine, it is not necessary for you to go all out to buy the most expensive tools for your ATV. Most ATVs come with a small tool kit that is decent enough for the basic maintenance of your ATV. While you save some more money to get the “specialized” tools for your ATV, using the ATV tool kit provided by the dealer would be just fine.

4. ATV attire

When buying the ATV gears for your riding, you must consider first the type of riding that you will be doing. The very basic ATV attire includes a helmet, goggles, gloves and boots, and believe it or not, you could actually get all these items for under $250! Yes, it’s true, some ATV riders (especially racers or aggressive riders) would opt for top of the line ATV attire, but that is only because they are meant for racers or very aggressive riders! If you are taking up the ATV sport as a hobby or just for recreational fun, you don’t have to spend unnecessarily – just as long as you are properly dressed and you know you will be protected during unforeseen circumstances.

The above are just some suggestions on how you can save and yet be able to have fun ATVing. There are more ideas and tips on budget ATVing that you can read about at www.atvoutdoors.net or even the forums at www.jackel.com If you have questions about ATVs or how to save a couple of dollars on ATVing, feel free to post your questions on either websites. You can be sure that the other ATV riders are always more than happy to help you out!
