Concours d?Elegance at The Ritz-Carlton — Amelia Island Puts Island on the Map with International Car Collectors 0

Concours d’Elegance at The Ritz-Carlton — Amelia Island Puts Island on the Map with International Car Collectors











Over 250 rare cars will be showcased at The Amelia Island Concours d’Elegange at The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island, March 11-13th.


(Vocus/PRWEB) March 08, 2011

In 1995, the general manager of The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island, Michael Carsch, had a challenge. He had a beautiful oceanfront Ritz-Carlton, only a few years old, and each year he struggled to fill rooms when warm spring weather first arrived on the island. He also knew most people were not familiar with Amelia Island, Florida. Carsch wanted to create an event that would attract a luxury crowd each year. He tracked down a local car collector, Bill Warner, who had a reputation as a passionate car guy. Warner, a successful businessman, photographer and writer for Road & Track, was being urged by other auto enthusiasts to create a classic car show in Florida. With The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island and Mercedes-Benz as inaugural sponsors, Warner launched the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance. The first car show featured 125 cars, world-famous Grand Prix driver Sir Stirling Moss as Honorary Chairman, and drew about 2,000 car enthusiasts. It also sold out The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island.

Fast forward to 2011, the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance is entering its 16th year, and is now considered the most prestigious show on the east coast. Collectors consider it one of the big events of the year along with Pebble Beach in California, Meadow Brook in Michigan and Louis Vuitton Classic in midtown Manhattan. They will be joined by an estimated 15,000 enthusiasts who will walk the Concours on Sunday.

This year they will see 255 high quality rare cars competing for ribbons in the Concours d’Elegance which literally means “a competition of elegance.” Collectors, who are invited to the show, watch as a team of judges rate their cars for authenticity, function, history, style and quality of restorations. Any imperfection requires a fractional point deduction.

Why do collectors subject themselves to the rigor of a Concours competition? For some it is a hobby, they are proud to own a piece of history and want to share their car with other enthusiasts. For others, it is a business investment that can offer a higher return than the stock market. Last years auction sold more than $ 19 million in rare cars in a single day. But for all, it is a social gathering that celebrates automotive history.

Acknowledging the growth and stature of the Concours d’Elegance, Katharine Monahan, the current general manager at The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island says, “The vision of an event that draws an international audience was realized with the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance. Now as one of the most prestigious car shows in the United States, we are honored to be a sponsor and host this truly international event.”

Tickets for the 16th Annual Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance, March 11-13, are $ 45 for adults purchased in advance and $ 50 the day of show. Student ages 12-20 are $ 20 and children under 12 are admitted at no charge when accompanied by a paying adult. Event tickets can be ordered in advance at http://www.ameliaconcours.org or can be purchased at the door.

About the Concours d’Elegance

Now in its second decade, the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance is among the top automotive events in the world. Always held the second full weekend in March, “The Amelia” draws nearly 250 rare vehicles from collections around the world to The Golf Club of Amelia Island at Summer Beach and The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island for a celebration of the automobile like no other. Since 1996, the show’s Foundation has donated nearly $ 1.7 million to Community Hospice of Northeast Florida, Inc. and other deserving charities on Florida’s First Coast. The 16th annual Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance is scheduled for March 11-13, 2011. For more information, visit http://www.ameliaconcours.org or call (904) 636-0027.

Leading Mazda Parts Store Upgrades Inventory to Cater to Wider Needs of Users 0

Leading Mazda Parts Store Upgrades Inventory to Cater to Wider Needs of Users










Carson, CA (PRWEB) September 28, 2005

The country’s leading Mazda Parts and Auto Parts[http://www.centerautoparts.com dealer invites Mazda users to check their updated inventory, which includes Mazda Parts for Miata[http://www.centerautoparts.com/auto-body-parts/mazda-miata-parts.html , Mazda Parts for Mazda 323, Mazda Protege5 Parts, Mazda MX6 parts, Mazda MX3 parts, Mazda Pickup parts[http://www.centerautoparts.com/auto-body-parts/mazda-pickup-parts.html and whole lot more.

With a hope to provide Mazda car users more choices of top quality replacement and aftermarket Mazda parts; at the same time, to cater to more Mazda owners who need equally superior quality Mazda parts for their car part’s replacement, repair, customization or upgrading, the company offers this time more comprehensive line of Mazda parts. Products available range from performance parts to body parts, auto lights and car accessories. All these parts are sourced from world-class auto parts makers, which means they have passed strictest quality tests.

Auto parts like Mazda 323 Alternator[http://www.centerautoparts.com/auto-body-parts/MZ32333.html , Mazda radiators, Mazda fuel tank, Mazda Pickup Engine Parts[http://www.centerautoparts.com/auto-body-parts/MZPICKUP31.html , Mazda bumpers, Mazda Tail Lights and Mazda Miata Mirror[http://www.centerautoparts.com/auto-body-parts/MZMIATA47.html are essential to your car’s maximum performance; thus, replacing them with quality Mazda parts is a must. Some stores may be offering rock-bottom priced Mazda parts and other auto parts, but they are not as efficient as OEM parts. Getting them from a trusted and experienced dealer is a sure way to get auto parts of excellent qualities.

Like the Mazda Protege Engine Parts[http://www.centerautoparts.com/auto-body-parts/MZPROTEGE31.html , the Mazda alternator is crucial to the vehicle’s performance since it is the one that produces electricity for every auto part that needs it and at the same time, it charges the battery, which is needed to efficiently start the engine. Having a dependable Mazda Protege Radiator[http://www.centerautoparts.com/auto-body-parts/MZPROTEGE15.html is likewise very important since this part is in charge of dissipating heat that is absorbed from the engine. Without the auto radiator, the engine would overheat and become inefficient.

Body parts like the Mazda 323 Hood, Mazda RX7 Bumper (Front)[http://www.centerautoparts.com/auto-body-parts/MZRX71.html , and Mazda 626 Fender (Front)[http://www.centerautoparts.com/auto-body-parts/MZ62622.html need to be extra strong and hard wearing as they are important to your safety. The hood provides protection to the engine and other parts underneath. Also, hood made of carbon fiber improves the car’s acceleration as it is lighter and more aerodynamic. The quality of the bumper likewise shouldn’t be overlooked since this part absorbs impact during collisions in order to avoid damage to the car and its occupants. Oftentimes, the fender gets damaged too during a collision that is why small accidents are called “fender benders,” so these parts must be durable enough to give you and your vehicle excellent protection.

You can find all these Mazda Parts and Car Parts at this number one Mazda Parts and Auto Parts dealer. Moreover, if you need auto accessories like Mazda floor mats, Mazda mirror, Mazda carpet, Mazda grille, and Mazda spoiler to jazz up your car, this store is ready to provide you just what you need. Explore their site to see their wider array of replacement and aftermarket Mazda Parts for Miata, Mazda Parts for Mazda 323, Mazda RX8 parts and other Mazda parts. Easy to navigate, complete and freshly designed, this online store is the perfect solution to your car part needs.

Award-Winning 2011 Mazda2 is Ready for a Test Drive at Jim Ellis Mazda Marietta 0

Posted on April 27, 2011 by Automotive News

Award-Winning 2011 Mazda2 is Ready for a Test Drive at Jim Ellis Mazda Marietta











Shiny New Mazda2s on the Marietta lot, still wrapped!


Marietta, GA (PRWEB) August 26, 2010

The sporty, fuel-efficient and fun to drive Mazda2 has won nearly 50 awards worldwide since its international debut in 2007, and with the 2011 model, it has finally arrived in the US!

The Sport models have all-new 15-inch wheels and black cloth interiors. But what sets this model apart from the competition is what comes standard: power windows, mirrors and door locks, air conditioning, 4-speaker AM/FM/CD/MP3 player compatibility, Auxiliary-audio input jack, remote keyless entry, rear wiper/washer, 60/40 split fold-down rear seats, and tons of legroom. The manufacturer’s suggested retail price for the Mazda2 Sport starts at just $ 13,980, which sets this sporty hatchback directly in competition against the Honda Fit, Toyota Yaris, and the Nissan Versa.

The Mazda2 Touring models feature 15-inch alloy wheels, an exhaust finisher, fog lights, a rear spoiler and leather-wrapped steering wheel, red piping accents on the upgraded cloth interior, trip computer, steering-wheel-mounted audio and cruise controls, and a booming 6-speaker stereo system. The Touring model has a manufacturer suggested retail price starting at $ 15,435.

Both models of this lively hatchback have standard Dynamic Stability Control and Traction Control Systems, 6 airbags (driver and passenger front, front seat-mounted side-impact, front and rear side-impact air curtains), 4-wheel anti-lock brakes, Electronic Brakeforce Distribution and EPAS Power steering.

The 2011 Mazda2 was placed on a strict diet before arriving to the US in order to reduce its weight to enhance drivability while still maintaining fuel efficiency. The reviews of the Mazda2 emphasize how fun this sporty car is to drive with 100 horsepower and 98 lbs-ft of torque. “Around a few twisty portions of the drive route, the 2 showed great composure… and the suspension soaked up road imperfections beautifully and easily eclipses competitors from Honda, Toyota and Nissan.” says a June 2010 review from AutoWeek.

The eco-friendly, fuel-efficient Mazda2 offers a standard Manual transmission and achieves EPA-estimated 29 mpg in the city, and 35 mpg on the highway, while the available 4-speed automatic Mazda2 achieves EPA-estimated 27 city, and 33 mpg on the highway.

The Mazda2 is also a very versatile hatchback. With 60/40 split back rear seats and a deep cargo floor, the Mazda2 is ready to go when you are in a vehicle that adds ‘genuinely attractive’ to the list of newly discovered small-car attributes.

Chuck Wallace, General Manager at Jim Ellis Mazda Marietta says, “We’re excited to finally have the Mazda2! We’ve been waiting for a fun-to-drive and fun-to-own car that brings an all new level of refinement to the subcompact market–one that’s packed with style and substance–and is meant to be consumed by Generation Y.”

http://www.BuyYourCar.co.uk Could Save You up to 0

Posted on April 23, 2011 by Automotive News

http://www.BuyYourCar.co.uk Could Save You up to £10,000 on Your Next New Car










(PRWEB) August 12, 2006

BuyYourCar is a revolutionary new way to buy and sell cars that will upset convention but will dramatically lower the price of cars and significantly widen the options for car buyers. It launched just yesterday 8th August and has been immediately successful.

There is nothing like it anywhere in the UK and it is already making savings of up to £10,000 for car buyers.

Good for car buyers

BuyYourCar enables consumers to buy and compare prices of cars for sale all over the UK. For the first time ever, people can compare the prices and specifications of new cars, used cars, contract hire and lease cars. This is already benefiting buyers by driving down prices and giving them access to the lowest priced cars in the UK. There is also a used car section so consumers can sell their existing car for a record £2.45.

The reason the cars are selling so cheaply is because BuyYourCar by-passes rules that don’t allow dealers to market or advertise their cars outside of their own region. For the first time dealers can compete UK-wide, they can sell their cars for any price of their choosing, not one set by a manufacturer and the increased competition has seen prices tumble. Already, after just one day of trading, the biggest saving on a car is a record £10,937.

New car buyers

New car buyers will be able to specify exactly what they are looking for according to make, model, colour, features and any other specifications.

They will receive the top ten prices and details of how far away the garage selling the car is.

BuyYourCar lists collection and delivery costs so the buyer can decide whether to choose a car that is closer to home but costs slightly more or one that costs less but is further away.

Unique to BuyYourCar, the car quotes are printable so the buyer can take a copy of the quote to their local dealer and barter if they choose.

Used car buyers

Buyers looking for used cars can compare prices of cars sold by private individuals with those of used car dealerships, giving them widest chance of finding the car they want and the greatest opportunity to make a saving.

They can specify exactly what they are looking for according to make, model, colour and features.

BuyYourCar also allows you to sell your car. Sellers can advertise their car to a UK-wide audience for just £2.45, as opposed to £15-30 on all other car sale websites.

Contract hire and leasing

This is a rapidly growing market and individuals who prefer to lease than to buy will have access to an unprecedented wide choice from around the UK – already there are over 1000 contract hire offers on BuyYourCar

For the first time ever, people will be able to compare the cost of the car they want across all options, comparing the cost of contract hire, to buying either a new or a used car to find the best and most cost effective option.

Dave Long, Managing Director of BuyYourCar says, “BuyYourCar will create huge savings for people looking to change their car whilst giving them the widest possible options. Whether you want to buy a new car, used car, sell your car or lease a car it will provide the most competitive deals in the UK. It is a completely open and transparent system and totally unique; no other site in the UK currently offers the benefits to car buyers and sellers now available through BuyYourCar. This website is set to revolutionise the car market.”
