Is a Kayak as Fun as a Car?

So, I’ve been an avid motorsports enthusiast since the first time I experienced “extreme” driving - I was a passenger when my father first drove our little 1973 Capri like a rally car on the last long dirt road leading to the family cottage. I loved it, and have ruined several family vehicles trying to replicate that first euphoric experience. So naturally, anything that didn’t have a thundering or screaming loud engine was “wimpy” to me.

So, when my girlfriend asked me to go kayaking this summer, I wasn’t sure how I’d like it. We decided to try kayaking Killarney Fox Islands, and man was I glad I tried it. Check out the previous link (”kayaking Killarney”) to see a video of our kayaking trip.

We saw millions of years of formations in the rocks, like I’d never seen before. Nothing was touched by the destructive hands of man, leaving the elements to create a magnificent artwork in the landscape.

Green Tomato cab is first choice

London’s green cab service Green Tomato cars are not your run of the mill taxi services. They are an official minicab firm so you do need to set up arrangements for the services of the day or night. You can book online as well if you’re not a chatterbox. The Prius is their leading transportation vehicle. The Prius is well suited for the slow London traffic, that’s where the electric motor comes in handy. Penned, “the environmentally friendly private hire service”, they go beyond the call of duty by planting trees to make up for the emissions that its cabs throw out even though it’s at a low percentage. They compensate by making sure the damage to the environment is minimized with the planting of those trees as well.

Rat Rods- Cars and Trucks Transformed

This is a phrase that is being thrown and used mostly on classic cars and on e bay. It is a term that is used generally to describe hot rods. Better definitions of rat rods that can help you understand this term easily. Rat rods as per the purists consideration is that they are the segment of American cars that were pre-1949 and were finished in such a manner, to look like it has been fabricated by a 1940’s hot rod enthusiast. There is hardly any chrome work and the interiors are left as it is, with absence of body paint or flat black finish.

Although a general definition on which the people agree would be any well used looking American car or truck (mini vans not included). The best part about the rat rods is that you get your hands on the customization of the old car and bring on your imagination and skill to transform that old car of the pre-1949 era which most of the owners hold, considering its great value. You get a chance to share your skills with the experienced lot, who own such cars while you are transforming your own into a new one.
