Volcanic Ash = more UK holidays by car

Apparently, due to the volcanic ash, more and more people are packing up their cars and opting for a drive holiday rather than a fly holiday.

I can actually see the sense in this - why worry about your holiday when you should be looking forward to it? However, I can't see all my luggage for a holiday fitting in my tiny Matiz! A pretty ingenius solution, as pointed out in this volcanic ash article, is to have roof rails fitted to the car.

I would not have even thought about this but am now considering it for my next car. The new Chevrolet Spark that I wanted a while back, is available with roof rails on the LT model. Alternatively, you can buy roof rails from an online parts store like Birchwood Ford Parts.

Don't know about a holiday in the UK though - think I would still have to go abroad but could maybe look at driving to France or Spain.

Sparky and sparkly!

In my hunt for a girly new car, I've just come across the new Chevrolet Spark. This car has loads of customisable features like the sparkly graphics that can be added to the side of the car and the matching sparkly mats too!

Quite like the fact that it's a 4-door car but looks like a 2-door car (the back door handles are hidden!) and also like the cool sports bumpers, chrome front grille and rear spoiler - I'm not a girl-racer, I just think these features happen to work well on the Chevrolet Spark.

Shame there aren't more girly colours - like dusky pink - and also would be good to have even more customisation options but all in all, I quite like this car!
