Superstorm Sandy the devistation and the cost of clean up

Just watch those pictures, words fail me.

It was hard to image just how bad it must have been for the folks in that storm down the eastern sea board of the United States.

Power outs, flooding, rain, wind and fire. It's hard to imagine anything worse.
But the American people can dig deep if they have too and I'm quite sure given time the scars will start to heal.
I even saw a picture of yellow taxi cabs all flooded in a parking lot, boats in the middle of streets, smashed buildings and it was reported many, many people had no power or heat.

People are much more important than property of course and rebuilding lives and getting back to normal must be many peoples wish right now.

After the Storm.

Some people will be looking to replace damaged vehicles at some point after getting back to something like a normal life. Car buyers must be very aware of all those damaged cars which may find there way on to the secondhand car market.
So many flood damaged vehicles will up for sale it will be a nightmare trying to tell them from others that have not been damaged. How do you go about telling which ones are good and those that are not?
Use a quality dealer wherever you can and look at the mechanical inspection report and the Vin number report to make sure it was not in the hurricane.

I still can't take it all in.

Made a video Yesterday. What is a VIN Number

Yes, I posted a video in You tube yesterday, What is a VIN number
, trying to help people understand more about the mystery of the VIN number or vehicle identification number.
A rather boring subject but it could really help avoid buying a lemon car and save people a lot of heartache in the process.

Love Your Car

Yes I love my car.

Wash it, polish it and have it serviced at the right time. Many people do and some do not.
I look at it like this. If you look after your car it reflects on you as person. A grubby dirt car in side and out, little in the way of regular servicing or maintenance is more likely to let you down.

Yes I know the weather can be pain. Just just washed it, it's nice clean and a farmer friend asks you round for dinner down that old track. Oh well, these things happen.

Just like today!

Video, Love Your Car

I love wheels.

Hi people, Malcolm Ross here.
I've always loved just about anything with wheels on since I was about 4 years old.
Yep, crashed my peddle car at the bottom of the garden when I was only 4 years old. Talk about starting young.

This Blog.
Thought I start one and post every now and then about topic loosely related to general topic area of wheeled vehicles. So it's quite a wide range to go at.

Speak later, Mal
