Essex Racing Stock Classic Ford Mustang Parts for Sale in UK and Europe
28/02/2011 |

Essex, United Kingdom (PRWEB) June 15, 2009
Essex Racing have launched the Mustang parts website and mail order hotline to enable car restorers to find every single part they need to restore a classic Ford Mustang. The website specialize in classic Mustang parts and spares from 1965-1973. They stock everything there from panels, chrome parts, interior trim, lights, bumpers… right down to the original badges and decals. All the regular service parts are available to ensure a classic Ford Mustang car is serviced exactly as Ford intended, although if originally isn’t essential there are also parts from recognised American tuners such as Edelbrock, Shelby and Fidanza there too. Essex Racing have also come up with a few parts of their own as well, such as body kits.
With the value of late model cars falling through the floor there has never been a better time to invest in a classic car and American classics are more popular than ever, but – unless it’s a really rare model – it’s only cars in good condition and in good working order that make worthwhile investments. In poor condition it’s just an old car. Now Essex Racing can help car restorers turn an old car into a valuable classic, and at a sensible price too.
Everything is priced in Pounds (GBP) and can be sent by mail order. Unlike American websites there won’t be a need to use Dollar conversions and work out import tax and international shipping and if a customer needs help, they won’t have to make transatlantic phone calls at odd hours.
About Essex Racing
Essex Racing have been in the automotive industry for over 20 years, providing auto accessories and styling products. They are based in the UK, with their main warehouse in Rayleigh, Essex. Essex Racing Classics provide shipping worldwide, with the option of ordering over the telephone or online.

Opening its doors in July 2008, the Harley-Davidson Museum is offering several membership levels, and those who join the Museum by June 1, 2008 will be invited to a pre-grand opening preview of the Museum, subject to capacity. All who have signed up in 2008 will forever be known as “Founding Members.”
Harley-Davidson Museum members will receive exclusive benefits and privileges reserved for those who want access to the back roads of the Harley-Davidson experience. Special access to a members-only Web site and exclusive events throughout the year are just a few of many exciting benefits. In addition, members will enjoy perks not available to the general public, such as behind-the-scenes information on Museum exhibits, “fast lane” admission to the Museum, a discount at the retail store and a members-only dog tag.
Just as riders have many route options, the Museum is offering five Membership levels to create the best ride for its new members. Memberships start as low as $ 40 annually, and each was created to meet the needs of customers, whether they are from Milwaukee or Milan. For example, “Open Road,” an online membership, was designed specifically for the global audience base of Harley enthusiasts who may not be able to visit the Museum’s physical location frequently. With primarily Internet-based benefits, this membership level also offers one-time free admission and discounts to the Museum retail store.
Other Membership levels include Individual (“Serial #1″), Couple (“Two-up”), Family (“Wrecking Crew”) and Premier (“Hill Climber”). These levels include free, unlimited visits to the Museum. The “Hill Climber” Membership also allows members to bring up to four extra guests to the Museum during any visit and includes a three-inch Living the Legend rivet for customization and installation on the Museum grounds.
“Membership will allow our visitors to get the most out of their Museum experience,” said Stacey Schiesl, Harley-Davidson Museum director. “Through exclusive events and behind-the-scenes access, our members will be able to connect to the Museum and the history and culture of Harley-Davidson in a very meaningful way.”
For those who prefer a shorter road trip, general admission tickets are also available.
General admission tickets for the general public are $ 16 for adults; $ 12 for students and seniors; $ 10 for children (ages 5-17 years) and children under five years of age will be admitted free with an accompanying adult. Visit the Web site for additional updates on group sales and tour information.

Legendary Bartels? Harley-Davidson Unveils Artist Jack Armstrong?s Million Dollar Harley
Legendary Bartels’ Harley-Davidson Unveils Artist Jack Armstrong’s Million Dollar Harley
Marina Del Rey, CA (PRWEB) October 27, 2010
Glenn Alan Bartels (AKA The Los Angeles Scooter Guru) teams up with Artist Jack Armstrong (called the “LAST WIZARD” by Andy Warhol) to unveil the world’s first million dollar Harley-Davidson motorcycle. Bartels’ Harley-Davidson (Dealer to the Stars), hosted the celebrity filled event.
The official world press red carpet event drew standing room only and stopped traffic on Lincoln Blvd., as Armstrong’s “Cosmic Starship” landed from outer space. Actor Lorenzo Lamas ignited the 1250cc V-Rod engine and rode Armstrong’s creation into Bartels’ main showroom, where it will be on display for the remainder of the month. Event Photos
“What an incredible opportunity to be able to work with an artist of Jack’s caliber,” explains Bartels. “I love Jack’s Cosmic Extensionalism applied to the Harley-Davidson® V-Rod™. This is the most futuristic motorcycle from The Motor Company, and Jack Armstrong has painted it to appear as if it has literally dropped down from outer space,” states Bartels.
About Bartels’ Harley-Davidson; Bartels’ Harley has been a family run Harley dealer to the stars since 1983. Glenn Alan Bartels (fourth born of Bill Bartels’ six sons), an avid art collector, operates Bartels’ Route 66 Cycle Boutique, whose private collection feature vintage roadsters, motorcycles, Vespa scooters, and bicycles for sale to the public.

Funny Video from PartSeek.com Shows Dangers of Poor Used Truck Parts and Service
Funny Video from PartSeek.com Shows Dangers of Poor Used Truck Parts and Service
Edmonton, AB (PRWEB) July 17, 2007
Funny video from PartSeek.com shows dangers of poor used truck parts and service
When Fred’s truck breaks down in a one horse town, he is a long way from home – and his repair shop. He is left at the mercy of a bad mechanic and no way to easily get the used truck parts he needs to get back on the road. Put Fred’s bad day to a little Bluegrass music and you have a new video that explores the humorous side of a trucker’s worst nightmare. Delays, big bills, and spoiled loads leave Fred pulling out his hair in frustration!
“Unfortunately, these situations happen,” states Bob Toews, Vice-President of Operations for Truckdown.com Service Locator. “If you’re in the trucking industry, we hope you’ll enjoy a light-hearted look at service gone wrong.”
The video is a joint project between Truckdown.com, Partseek.com and TruckPartsInventory.com.
“All three of these sites do their best to get you the best new and used truck parts and service,” says Scott Tetz, President of Partseek.com. “These free-to-use sites are a one-stop shop for service locating and finding used truck parts.”
TruckDown.com and TruckDown.mobi (for mobile devices) are vendor locator services used by thousands of commercial trucking companies to contact repair, maintenance and support services throughout the USA and Canada. PartSeek.com and TruckPartsInventory.com are used truck parts locators used by truckers, repair shops, insurance adjusters and fleets to find parts fast.
The moral of the story is to keep your hair — and your cash — where it belongs. If you are unable to use your regular shop, use a credible service to qualify your used trucks parts vendor (PartSeek.com or TruckPartsInventory.com) or service provider (TruckDown.com). Don’t be a ‘Fred’ and be guaranteed to never hear your own Bluegrass theme song softly play in the background in some backwater town while you watch your cargo — and your profits — spoil.
Watch the video here.

Harley-Davidson’s Women’s Day Ride Raises More Than $67,000 for Muscular Dystrophy Association
Daytona Beach, FL (PRWEB) March 20, 2008
On March 4th, hundreds of Harley-Davidson women riders joined together in Daytona Beach, Fla., along with Season two “American Idol” star Kimberley Locke for one of the largest Harley-Davidson women’s rides in history.
Originally, the Harley-Davidson Women’s Day Ride benefitting Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) was to be limited to 105 women, but after an incredible response from women riders asking to join the Women’s Day Ride, Harley-Davidson decided to increase the size to accommodate the large demand.
Locke and hundreds of other female riders were joined by Karen Davidson, great-granddaughter of one of the Company’s founders, as well as the six Get Down to Daytona contest winners as they cruised through the streets of Daytona to thunderous applause from spectators.
“The success of the Women’s Day Ride reflects the growth of our female riders over the past two decades, from 4% in 1990 to 12% today. The event raised more than an incredible $ 67,000 in contributions,” said Davidson.
Women participating in the ride raised money for their local MDA office to help send children to MDA Summer Camps. Three women received special recognition as the top fundraisers for the event: Joanne Mold of Forest Hill, Md., ($ 3,055 raised), Dee Roberts of Bernville, Pa., ($ 2,717) and Lynne Cone of Houston ($ 2,715). Each received a 105th Anniversary Harley-Davidson women’s jacket, and had lunch with Karen Davidson, the six Get Down to Daytona contest winners and MDA ambassadors.
One week at MDA Summer Camp costs $ 800 per child, so women who raised that amount or more received a unique Harley-Davidson/MDA sterling silver and gold charm in recognition of their gold-level fundraising. Women who raised at least $ 400 received a sterling silver charm.
For more information about the Get Down to Daytona contest, profiles of the six winners, and more, visit www.harley-davidson.com/womensride.

Houston Trucking Accident Law Firm Unveils New Website
Houston Trucking Accident Law Firm Unveils New Website
Houston, TX (PRWEB) January 20, 2011
The nationally known Houston personal injury law firm of Arnold & Itkin LLP has launched a new website to give victims of large truck accidents essential information about their legal rights after a collision.
The Houston trucking accident law firm’s website, http://www.texas-trucking-lawyer.com, will serve as an information resource for residents of Texas seeking legal help after they have been injured in an 18-wheeler accident. One of every 10 fatal truck crashes in the United States occurs in Texas.
The website contains video profiles introducing law firm partners Kurt Arnold and Jason Itkin, who are both experienced Texas truck accident lawyers and Houston personal injury attorneys.
“Texas has more than its share of serious and deadly truck crashes,” said Arnold, who has years of experience handling complex truck accident injury cases. “People seriously injured in truck wrecks need help and experienced Texas truck accident attorneys to stand up for them. This new website will give them the big picture and help them get started.”
The website covers a range of important topics, including:
Alarming Truck Accident Statistics — The site has revealing facts and numbers about truck wrecks.
Why Truck Accidents Are Different — Large tractor trailers and semis are structurally incompatible with smaller vehicles. When cars and large trucks collide, the injuries are often more serious than in wrecks involving two automobiles.
Drug and Alcohol Abuse — The estimated percentage of impaired truck drivers adds up to hundreds of drug- and alcohol-related preventable truck accidents.
Trucking Insurance Requirements — Trucking companies and drivers of large trucks, such as tractor trailers, semi-trucks, flatbed trucks, tanker trucks and other 18-wheelers, are required to carry much more liability insurance than automobile drivers because of the harm truck crashes cause.
Equipment/Maintenance Failures — Lack of proper maintenance and equipment failures often contribute to Texas truck accidents. But police frequently fail to identify mechanical and maintenance factors.
Who is Liable for Truck Accident Injuries? — A number of different parties, including the truck driver, trucking company, freight shipper and truck equipment manufacturer, may have liability in a truck wreck.
The roads and highways of Texas are the deadliest in the nation for crashes involving 18-wheelers, tractor trailers, semis and other large trucks, Itkin noted. After a truck crash, it’s important for accident victims to have experienced Texas truck accident attorneys to protect their legal rights, he said.
“For anyone who has been in a serious truck accident, it’s essential to know where to turn for help,” said Itkin. “We’re glad we can provide the new website, http://www.texas-trucking-lawyer.com, to assist.”
About Arnold & Itkin LLP
The Texas truck accident attorneys at Houston-based Arnold & Itkin LLP understand the complexities of truck accident cases, including trucking regulations, truck insurance requirements and the factors that frequently cause tractor trailer crashes such as driver fatigue, speeding, distracted driving, and defective equipment or faulty maintenance. The Texas truck lawyers of Arnold & Itkin LLP represent those seriously injured by large trucks and tractor trailers throughout Texas, including the cities and communities of Houston, Harris County, Dallas, Austin and San Antonio. To contact the firm, call (866) 222-2606 or use its online contact form.
