Author The Classic Cars Net now has a Classic Car Insurance Information Area
San Diego, CA (PRWEB) March 4, 2007
Ray Taylor started The CARS Net in 1996, as a promotional device for the San Diego Auto Swap events he has been doing since 1990. Ray wanted to learn the HTML language code that is used to design web sites, and so he decided to build www.CarsNet.com. It was quite a learning experience, and a his new web site began to grow with time, as did its visitors.
Eventually, some of Ray’s car buddies asked if he would put their vehicles For Sale on www.CarsNet.com, and that was the beginning of the true value of The CARS Net.
The CARS Net has seen as many as one million hits in one month. The site is very popular with the Classic Car/Hot Rod groups. Ray then decided to build a separate web site for the Auto Swap, www.SanDiegoAutoSwap.com; and to make www.CarsNet.com a Classic Car Classified Ad site, where people could run an “Until Sold” ad with one color photo for just $ 20.
It’s years later and The CARS Net has evolved once again. It now has a Blog, a Forum, and a Photo Gallery, in addition to its Classified Area. Plus now it’s All Free. People can go to www.CarsNet.com, Register, Login, Type in an Ad, Upload photos, and the vehicle ad is on the Net.
Ray has now added a specials section just for Classic Car Insurance. There you find extensive lists of United States, United Kingdom, and Canadian insurance companies specializing in Classic, Collectible and Antique vehicles. There is also a extensive Question and Answer section to help answer all those questions about your special insurance needs. A direct link is www.carsnet.com/classiccarinsurance
Ray invites people to visit his www.CarsNet.com web site. Check out all the Great Wheels & Deals in the Classifieds, peruse the Hot Rod Ladies Photo Gallery, read Ray’s thoughts and articles, maybe even leave a post in the Forum. Plus, now you can find the perfect insurance policy for your classic car. Ray wants people everywhere to benefit from The New & Free Classic Cars Net.

Leading Vendor of Used Vans in UK Announces Opening of New Site for up to 400 Used Commercial Vehicles on the A4 to the West of Reading
Tadley, UK (PRWEB) July 27, 2006
One of the leading vendors of used vans in the UK announces it will shortly be occupying its new 400 used van site on the A4 to the west of Reading at Lower Padworth. The new Anchor Van Centre for used vans will aim to stock used vans from about £3000 to £20,000 in a range of sizes and colours. Anchor Van Centre can be contacted on 0845 658 0900, or at: www.anchorvans.co.uk.
Wide selection of Ford Used Vans and Mercedes Used Vans
Though all makes of used vans will be stocked the favourites such as used Ford vans and used Mercedes vans will be kept in both size and price.
A good selection of used Peugeot vans and used Citroen vans will also be held to reflect the popularity of these manufacturers.
Major advantages over small Used Van Dealers
Managing Director, Graham Joyce, said “We will have the advantage over small dealers in being able to stock a lot of big used vans which take up space and funds which small dealers just don’t have. Some of our used Mercedes vans and used Ford vans can be over 6 metres long and our used Mercedes Luton Vans have bodies that are over 13 ft.”
“Constructing purpose built new facilities later this year will allow us to work on all makes of used vans in our workshop.”
Used Van Finance Packages
Finance packages will play a large part in marketing used vans at the expanded Anchor Van Centre, with Leasing on its lease / buy package expected to take the biggest percentage of the funding options. This is because with a lease / buy scheme, customers get to own the vans in the end. This scheme also qualifies for tax relief and is a favourite for those purchasing used van.
Wide Selection of Used Van Models
In addition to the vans mentioned Anchor Vans plans to keep a wide range of used Mitsubishi vans, used Fiat vans, used Iveco vans, used Nissan vans, used Renault vans, used Toyota vans, used Vauxhall vans and used Volkswagen vans.

MDA and Harley-Davidson Online Auction Offers One-of-a-Kind Items
Milwaukee, WI (PRWEB) August 29, 2008
Harley-Davidson and the Muscular Dystrophy Association have teamed up to present an online auction featuring an array of special Harley-Davidson items, with all proceeds benefiting MDA.
The online auction will feature 105 collectible and one-of-a-kind items in honor of Harley-Davidson’s 105th anniversary, and will run August 21 through September 4 in conjunction with MDA’s Jerry Lewis Labor Day Telethon online auction.
“Harley-Davidson has always gone above and beyond to help my kids,” said MDA National Chairman and Telethon star Jerry Lewis. “This auction is a way to get some fantastic Harley-Davidson items that won’t be available anywhere else in the world — all while helping MDA’s mission. It’s a win-win.”
The online auction will help support MDA’s programs of research, services, public information and summer camp, which provides kids with a week of accessible activities such as swimming, horseback riding, fishing and arts and crafts.
Special items up for bid include a Harley-Davidson 105th Anniversary Heritage Softail® Classic motorcycle and a 2009 Rocker™ motorcycle fully accessorized with Genuine Motor Accessories installed by Harley-Davidson technicians live on Main Street at the Lakefront during the company’s 105th anniversary celebration.
Other featured items include a behind-the-scenes tour for four of the recently opened Harley-Davidson Museum, with a two-night stay at the Courtyard by Marriott in downtown Milwaukee; a Fender guitar autographed by the Jonas Brothers, Tim McGraw, and the members of the group Blondie; and a custom-made Harley-Davidson themed Fender Stratocaster guitar. The guitar is one of three Harley-Davidson branded, production-quality prototype guitars: one will be placed in the Fender Museum, one will be placed in the Harley-Davidson Museum and the third will be auctioned to benefit MDA. Bidding on this guitar begins Friday, Aug. 22.
Also featured are a custom-made Harley-Davidson owner’s ring from Jostens, with diamonds and onyx and personalized with the winner’s name; an American flag that was flown over Harley-Davidson’s corporate headquarters; and artwork by Harley-Davidson artists David Uhl and Scott Jacobs.
Since 1980, Harley-Davidson’s family of dealers, customers, employees, suppliers and Harley Owners Group (HOG) chapters have raised more than $ 65 million for MDA. Every year, Harley-Davidson riders selflessly volunteer their time to visit nearly a hundred MDA summer camps across the country. Riders host barbecues, give sidecar rides, provide temporary tattoos and let thrilled youngsters sit on their motorcycles.
To participate in the Harley-Davidson online auction, visit www.h-d4mda.com. To learn about MDA and Harley-Davidson events in your area, check out www.mdarides.org.
MDA is a voluntary health agency working to defeat muscular dystrophy and related diseases. The Association’s programs are funded almost entirely by individual private contributors.
