Read about the latest vehicle to hit the road in 2015

The latest car for 2015 is the Fiat expanding 500 range, the 500X is a compact crossover aimed at the Citroen C4 Cactus, Mini Countryman and Nissan Juke.

What is the Fiat 500X?

Fiat 500XFiat 500X takes the styling of the 500 city car and turns it up to 11 

The 500X has a supermini-sized footprint and plenty of off-road attitude. Prices at the time of writing range from £14,595 up to nearly £26,000.

Most buyers will opt for a front-wheel-drive 500X in either Pop, Popstar or Lounge spec. However, if you want more rugged styling, the Cross version has bumper skid-plates and a traction-aiding front differential. And, if you really need four-wheel drive, the Cross Plus borrows its 4WD system from the closely-related Jeep Renegade.

The 500X seats five and has a 350-litre boot – bigger than a VW Golf but smaller than most crossover rivals. Its colourful interior features plenty of retro styling cues, including metal-look door handles and body-coloured plastic on the dashboard. All models apart from the basic Pop get a 6.5in touchscreen media system.

Which engines will the Fiat 500X use?

The engine line-up at launch starts with a 109bhp 1.6 petrol. There’s also a 138bhp 1.4 turbo petrol, plus two diesels: a 118bhp 1.6 and a 138bhp 2.0. Only the bigger diesel is available with four-wheel drive at first, although more powerful petrol and diesel models with 4WD will follow soon.

The entry-level 1.6 petrol comes with a five-speed manual gearbox. Most other models get a six-speed manual, but the 2.0 diesel has Fiat’s new nine-speed automatic. Yes, you read that right, nine gears in a small family car…

Why should I buy a Fiat 500X?

Fiat 500XCross Plus versions of the Fiat 500X have four-wheel drive 

Fashionable and funky, small crossovers are the must-have cars of the moment. The Nissan Juke has proved that bold, in-your-face styling is no barrier to success, and the ‘500 on steroids’ look of the 500X will tick plenty of buyers’ boxes, too.

You may also appreciate the Fiat’s elevated driving position (somewhere between a car and an SUV) and added versatility of its raised ground clearance. Whether you’re crossing a muddy field or simply negotiating a multi-storey car park, those extra inches can make a big difference.

Lastly, the 500X offers generous interior space, along with practical touches like big door bins and a split-level boot floor.

When is the Fiat 500X on sale?

The 500X hits showrooms in Spring 2015!!

Traditional wedding marquee hire

It might not seem like it when there is frost on the ground and you can see your breath when standing by the back door, but winter is the perfect time to purchase a marquee for your outdoor events with one of Marquee Hire extensive range of winter marquee and Pop up Marquees for sale.

Here are our five reasons why:

1)      You’ll have plenty of time – if you have ever organised an event before, no matter what the size or nature of the ‘do’ you’ll probably have felt pushed for time at some point.  Organising venues, guest lists, catering, furniture and entertainment (to name but a few tasks) is very time consuming, so by getting started now ready for your 2015 spring, summer or autumn events you will give yourself the gift of time.

2)      You’ll get a better choice – by booking your events early it stands to reason that you will have more choice.  Availability for any event venue or service is generally better when booking in advance.  If you are choosing a marquee for your venue, you’ll have an improved choice of size and style on your given date if you book now rather than waiting until nearer the time.

3)      You can spread the cost of your event – when organising a family party or wedding it will help to ease the burden if you can spread the cost over several months.   By booking your venue now and getting the deposit or full amount paid, you’ll then have plenty of time to replenish your funds ready for the additional costs of catering and entertainment.

4)      You’ll get a better turnout – as soon as you have booked your venue you can start inviting your guests.  The earlier you get your invites out, the better your turnout should be as people aren’t generally booked up for events that far in advance.

5)      You’ll have something to look forward to – Let’s face it as soon as Christmas and New Year are over everything goes a bit flat.  There’s a good two months of winter still to struggle through and no time off work for a while, so what else is there to look forward to?  If you have booked your 2015 events early you’ll have a date in the calendar to countdown to.

Read DIY Marquees advice if you want to start your own business

I meet a lot of people looking to start up a marquee hire business, it is one of the best parts of my job. A lot of people who come in to see me have never worked for themselves and see it as quite an aspiration position. Often the decision has been made to work for themselves long before the idea of marquees came around. And to be honest working for yourself is great, you do have to go in to it with your eyes wide open though and this is something else I often find myself discussing with potential marquee customers.

The first, most important point when starting a new business is having your close family on-board. Getting a business off the ground takes a lot of time, energy and work which would only be rewarded in the medium-long term. It is very difficult to do without the support of those around you. The last thing you want is for your start-up business to seriously affect your relationship (especially if you've married in to a family of solicitors and QC’s!).

The pro’s and cons of starting up your own marquee DIY Party Tents for sale or Pop up Marquees for sale for example  (or other) business:

Pros:

  • Greater flexibility
  • Greater job-satisfaction. Not just because the work you’re doing is for yourself rather than some else or an organisation but because most marquee work is making people happy
  • Potentially greater financial reward (it depends on what job you’re giving up of course)
  • Greater involvement in all parts of the business. You may have had a job in marketing but in a start-up you’ll be involved/responsible for every different part of the business.

Cons:

  • Greater responsibility
  • Less financial security (the rewards are potentially greater but there is always the risk of the business not taking off).

And in-between both is a certain blurring of your work/life hours. You can often do non-work things during work time but then you’ll often have to do work related out of hours.

Working for yourself or working in a small business can be a culture shock but ultimately a move most people view well worth it.

A good friend of mine went from working in a huge multinational to a small start-up business. On the second day he was shocked to be told to drop everything as a photocopier had arrived downstairs (they were on the 5th floor) and everyone had to go down and lift it up the stairs. But this is what happens in a small business, everyone has to be prepared to be involved in any part of the business (manual handling or otherwise).

We are always happy to discuss any ideas you may have in starting up your own marquee hire business (or even helping an existing one), we have a lot of experience both in having done it ourselves and in helping many many others over the years.

Enjoy life to the full with Tantric Journey

Why Emotional Detox?

Do you struggle with sexual intimacy problems or self-esteem issues? Read this article I found as help is on hand for those that have these problems. Unlock your full potential with Tantric Journey sex therapy London.

As we pass through the general stages of life our soul tends to collect a lot of debris and dust. It is vital one goes through an emotional detox to be apt and in par with one’s life purposes. In this materialistic new age we are often subjected to superficial materialistic expectations that we are displaced into great distances away from our being. Therefore emotional detox is necessary to wipe away these calluses that build up and block the soul vibrating at its best frequency.  Emotional detox sex therapy tunes the soul to its best frequency and has us vibrating at our optimum.

Like any machinery that requires upkeep and renewal our body requires the same. Detox can come in various forms. As we our own powerhouse architects of our lives it is essential we conduct emotional detox to revive our body. Very often than not we are caught up in the fishnet of life that we pursue our paths and goals but retract to square one.  Emotional detox can help this deflection that one experience.

My understanding of all the treatments conducted, years of study and research is that as human we are human to behave like sponges that can absorb moisture directly or indirectly. And for functionality the sponge has to excrete the excess moisture or the sole purpose of its very existence diminishes. Likewise our emotional detox is vitally essential to excrete the excess.

Emotional detox unfastens what anchors us to one stagnant and repetitive pattern of life. And through my work at Tantric Journey, I unfasten these knots through Deep Body Work for Emotional Release.

I vouch my treatment is vital and effective for the desired vibration and emotional detox, as there is sound confirmation by metaphysics, cellular memory and study of energy.  From one’s wonder /yonder / toddler years one is constantly subjected to various situations both good and bad directly or indirectly as one progress in life. Just like calluses built by hardened skin due to friction these indirect and direct situational factors reside in us. Hence emotional detox is essential to remove toxicity and festered parasitical elements from one’s body. The emotional detox one obtains at Tantric Journey through Deep Body Work for Emotional Release excavates the unpleasant  clogged residue and leaves room for more opportune and mobility.

The crown of it is that one is able to architect and craft one’s life as one desired as the path has been paved and the grime shovelled.

Emotional detox is the key to successful living. If you need any assistance from an experienced sex therapist click here sex therapist London and we can assist you.
