  • Mitsubishi's X marks a new spot

    Compact crossovers, that comfortable middle ground between hatchbacks and 4x4s, is the segment that every car maker wants to compete in right now, mostly because it's one of the few parts of the car market actually attracting buyers in any serious numbers. There are many Johnny-Come-Latelies entering the segment, but Mitsubishi is actually just bringing out a heavily-revised version of its compact ASX, making improvements and updates while many rivals are only just getting started. Perhaps that prescience is only to be expected from a company famed for its 4x4s and SUVs.


  • Seat's practically giving money away...

And while Seat's not exactly been 'giving' people money (you do have to pay back these loans, after all, and there is such a thing as interest) its connection to the Volkswagen Bank has meant that Seat customers can get hold of finance deals that the mainstream banks might deny them.

    In an article in the Cork Examiner on 2 September 1939, the Compulsory Continuation Education Scheme, as written about in last week’s article, entered into the second year of its existence in Cork City. During late August 1939, the enrolment and registration of pupils continued apace. It was anticipated that 600 boys and an equal number of girls would avail of the scheme during the 1939-40 year. In the 1938-39 session only boys and girls between the ages of fourteen and fifteen were included but in 1939-40 the age limit was to increase from fourteen to sixteen years. It was estimated that the addition to age limit would mean an increase in the number of pupils, from 950 in the previous year to 1,200 for the ensuing years.
