Fun fare Disasters!

Bad maintenance and Negligence?

Most of us have been to a fun fair, circus or a pleasure park to enjoy the latest rides and the thrill of fear!

But when these rides go wrong fear of falling out of your chair from a height or being crushed is another matter of real fear and probable death?

The more complex the ride is the harder it is to maintain it and areas will be overlooked and not deliberately, since this is a family business that has to make the owners their worth of time and effort!

Many people still believe that show people are travelers or Gypsies, but they are seasonal contractors who entertain the public during the summer months.

There is a plethora of machines on the market, with new one coming out every year and contractors visit sites across the country to view and buy or sell older ones on to others who cannot afford the latest?

Cruise Liners.

Ever Bigger.

Comfort and pleasure and new experiences are now what is demanded in the cruise liner business. Comfort and styles with good food has been replaced by shopping and thrills. These ships are getting ever bigger and perhaps the future will see glass bottoms and more underwater as well as over water experiences.

Today there are many kinds of vessels operating in this role, by the big companies. but some people demand something more old fashioned and smaller ships from paddle steamers to steam ships are meeting these demands of luxury over gimmicks and avoid mass shopping to a more selective purchases.

Cruise Liners. Part-Two.

Many New Ideas.

Design of these new sea ocean monsters are for improved facilities and pleasure, most vessels so far built have kept to a certain genre of dance hall, eating, casinos and swimming pools. Queen Mary-II.

But the future may include theme park additions and underwater viewing galleries. Size and weight may change the out lay of ships that will be able to do this, but there will always be a demand for luxury and being pampered.

Quads.

Bikes and Vehicles.

The development of the this type of vehicle has allowed it to be used in a wide variety of  roles. Today quads are seen operating from pleasure to farming and military, Industrial and commercial roles.

I have made two films that show quad  bikes, 'follow that bus and Verminators.'

Kawasaki is one of the biggest producers of the type, but it was initially Britain that lead the way in producing a series of machines to help farmers gather sheep and to carry light loads around the farm. This concept was to save time, on the need to use the tractor.

Luxury Cars.

Is there any value in owning a luxury car?

What do we want in a car, speed, 0-60 in 3.9 seconds, comfort, style and taste are these the essential keys to owning any car.

If we own this type of car, is to impress others, to say who we are or is it just for our own pleasure, and to express our self-achievement? 

There are many models today on the market from stylish racey numbers to the more sublime and gentle, so what ever you can afford or want it is out there. Some cars are hand made, perhaps the personnel touch has more quality attached to it?

Porche, Lamborgene, BMW, Aston Martin, Mustang, Ferrari, Jaguar, Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Lotus, Morgan, are but a few of what is available.
