A blog specialising in sport but with emphasis on the greatest game of all, Rugby League. SL Club Profile: Widnes Vikings. The club is situated in the county of Cheshire and was formed in 1875. It was one of the clubs that joined the Northern Union breakaway in 1895. They seem to have had particular success in the 1970's and 80's. I remember the side from those days as one of the best. Championship: Three times in 1978, 1988 and 1989. Challenge Cup: Eight times in 1930, 1937, 1964, 1975, 1979, 1981, 1984.

The car industry from my perspective. Simca Car Production By Model : 1947-59. The brand name Simca is an acronym of 'Société Industrielle de Mécanique et Carrosserie Automobile' or 'Mechanical and Automotive Body Manufacturing Company' in English. In other words 'Car Maker'. The company was founded in 1930's by Fiat, and all its early cars were based on Fiat models. The downside of that was export cars were not allowed to compete directly with Fiat. Data source: Freyssenet.com. The 5 was a small car tha...

A blog specialising in sport but with emphasis on the greatest game of all, Rugby League. Calling A Spade A Spade In Rugby League. I grew up in a family from the North of England and am used to straight talking. Living in New Zealand I have found it a very different culture. Locally, outspokenness is usually considered rebellious and aggressive. It isn't so if taken in the spirit it is expressed.

all about sport: Super League Attendances 2010
http://raycee123.blogspot.com/2010/09/super-league-attendances-2010.html
A blog specialising in sport but with emphasis on the greatest game of all, Rugby League. Super League Attendances 2010. Super League (in the UK) attendances have come a long way over the last dozen years or so. An average of 6,600 in 1999 wasn't good but it has risen to the point that the last four years have averaged over 9,000. 2010 saw 8,678 by my reckoning. So the results, team by team are as follows:. Wigan 15,700 12%. Leeds 15,400 -3%. Hull 13,700 6%. St Helens 11,200 -2%. Warrington 10,700 18%.

A blog specialising in sport but with emphasis on the greatest game of all, Rugby League. The English PL has arrived for another many months of spills and thrills. The sun still shines as summer ebbs and the winter months close in. Who will reign supreme come season's end? My usual picks will be made, some inspired, others less so. I will categorise the top and bottom sides as follows:. Team to watch: I liked Leicester's run last last campaign and they seem to be a positive team that could build on that.

The car industry from my perspective. Volvo V40 CC D4 vs Mercedes GLA 200 CDi. Premium compact SUVs are catching on. Many want the versatility that they offer combined with a little class, at the expense of value for money. Still the prestige of the badge is worth it, they tell me. These two were put head to head in the NZ Autocar magazine, so what did they find. First to summarise the combatants. V40 Cross Country D4. NZ$63,000. 2L 4 cyl diesel, 6 speed auto. NZ$65,000. 2.1L diesel 7 speed auto. So when...

The car industry from my perspective. Chinese Vehicle Sales In NZ 2009-14. The MG3. Interesting to look at and quite a good car. Chinese vehicles are slowly making inroads into New Zealand. They haven't come with the speed I expected for reasons such as quality and passenger safety concerns. Despite that, they seem to be here to stay and as they get better, so will sales. A recent brand to arrive. They do just a pick-up, in two body configurations and value for money is again the attraction. The 3 and 6 ...

all about cars: European Electric Car Sales By Nation : 2013-15
http://raycee1234.blogspot.com/2015/08/european-electric-car-sales-by-nation.html
The car industry from my perspective. European Electric Car Sales By Nation : 2013-15. Obviously the 2015 figure is for Jan-Jun. On the green side is electric car sales and the blue hybrids and range extended cars. How is Europe progressing on the alternative fuel front? Not all nations report such data but most do and here they are. PEVs: Norway leads the as expected but can such a small market sustain that level of sales? Pure Electric Vehicle (PEV). Is Europe doing enough? Labels: Brand - Electric.
