Sponsor Steve (The Admin) on his 8000 Mile Charity Drive to Mongolia
Steve and Dan are involved in a charity car rally, facing 8,000 miles
of pot-holes, strange borders and questionable food (and probably
hygiene after 8k miles!) to raise money for
Save The Children. They aim
to raise a minimum of £1000 for
Save The Children, plus shall donate their vehicle to a charity called CDPF (Children's' Development and
Protection Fund) when they reach Mongolia.
The Mongolia Charity
Rally is a pan-continental drive across five mountain ranges, two
deserts and enough barren and pot-holed roads, paths and terrain to
ensure they'll swagger like John Wayne for a good few weeks after they
complete the drive. Steve and Dan will start in London on the 11th July and our
final destination is the great Mongol capital of Mongolia, beyond the
Gobi desert, Ulaanbaatar, several weeks later. They are aiming to
complete the rally in 3 weeks or less.
Team mate Dan is from
Newcastle Australia, he will be flying to the UK to join up with Steve just before setting off. They
will be updating a daily blog and hope you club members will follow their
adventures. Certainly going to be the toughest challenge for the pair of them.
Raising money for charity
The
rule is they need to raise some cash for their chosen charity before they can
set off. The club would be grateful if members here could donate a few quid
to their Just Giving Page
Please help and donate something.

LEXUS TAKES THE PAIN OUT OF PARKING
When
it comes to parking manoeuvres, a moment’s inattention can cause a costly
mistake. Scraped alloy wheels and dented bumpers might seem part-and-parcel of
modern driving, but with the new RX 450h Lexus has gone further to make life easier
and safer when it comes to navigating tight spaces.

INTRODUCING THE LEXUS RX 450h
The RX 450h has the same intelligent four-wheel drive capability as the
RX 400h, with a series/parallel hybrid system employing a highly
efficient petrol engine and two powerful electric motors working in
tandem to provide an ‘intelligent’ four-wheel drive capability.
However,
comprehensive enhancements to all the system’s components have
dramatically improved efficiency, achieving a 10 per cent increase in
engine power and a 28 per cent reduction in fuel consumption.

NEW LEXUS RX 450h TO MAKE EUROPEAN DEBUT AT GENEVA
The all-new RX 450h will make its European debut as the centrepiece of the Lexus stand at the Geneva motor show on 3 March.
Significant
revisions to the Lexus Hybrid Drive powertrain will deliver
substantially lower carbon dioxide emissions when the luxury crossover
goes on sale in the UK this summer, setting a new benchmark in its
class, well below the figures achieved by the current best-performing
diesels. At the same time it will also be more fuel efficient and more
powerful than its predecessor, the RX 400h, the model which first
introduced hybrid power to the premium market.

LEXUS ANNOUNCES A WELCOME CUT IN PRODUCTION
Lexus moves into
new territory this winter with revisions to the IS 220d that bring a
substantial reduction in carbon dioxide emissions, leading to even more
significant cost of ownership savings.
In bringing the CO2
figure down from 163 to 148g/km, the IS 220d enjoys a more advantageous
position in terms of Benefit-in-Kind company car tax rates and the
allowance companies can write down against Corporation Tax. The new
BIK rate is 20 per cent and for the 2009/10 tax year the reduced CO2
level allows companies to offset more of the IS 220d’s capital cost
against Corporation Tax at a rate of 20 per cent. Taking the IS 220d
SE-I as an example, this means companies can save up to £1,335 in
Corporation Tax compared to the previous 2009 model with 163g/km
emissions.

LEXUS REVEALS THE NEW RX 450h
Lexus will take
its advanced hybrid power technology to a higher level in 2009 with the
launch of the new RX 450h. The luxury all-wheel drive model made its
world debut today at the Los Angeles Auto Show, ahead of going on sale
in Europe next summer.
In the UK the
new-generation RX will be an all-hybrid range, with the RX 450h
replacing both the current RX 400h hybrid and RX 350 petrol engine
models. Lexus was the first and remains the only manufacturer to offer
hybrid models in the segment in Europe, now presenting its second
generation model before its rivals manage to bring their first hybrid
contenders to the showroom.

NEW 2009 LEXUS IS RANGE: LOWER EMISSIONS AND PRICES, HIGHER SPECIFICATIONS
It’s reasonable
to expect that when you are given more, you will have to pay more. But
that logic simply does not apply where the new 2009 Lexus IS is
concerned. Lexus has given its stylish sports saloon sharper looks
inside and out, added extra equipment features and made detail
adjustments to provide even better handling, while at the same time
cutting prices – by more than £1,000 on some models.
