Flux support the ‘Car Kraft’ scheme for young drivers

Northamptonshire Police have created a new driving experience scheme for young drivers between the age of 17 and 24.

‘Car Kraft’ give eager drivers the chance to practice ‘accident avoidance techniques’ on the Silverstone skidpan and track. Renault kindly supplied thirteen cars for the course and Adrian Flux covered their insurance – the rest was down to the Police and young participants!

The sessions are free and include:

· Practical skid recognition and avoidance techniques
· Practical ABS techniques
· A Hazard awareness and practical driving assessment with a highly trained Police officer
· A classroom session covering the dangers of drinks driving.

Check this video of the course in action…

Get Your Skates On…

To promote the new Corsa, Vauxhall have announced a celebrity-fuelled roller disco called ‘Vauxhall Skate’. Other than the high profile celebs, the attractions will include the Tigra mirrorball and Corsa skates (pictured below).
Vauxhall have got up-and-coming British designer and illustrator Kate Moross to design a Corsa in her own unique style, the car was covered in white vinyl and was decorated with paint and permanent markers.
The event is on the 29th July 2009, go the facebook group to find out how to get tickets.

I Want to "Pimp" My Bicycle…

At Adrian Flux, we have a “thing” for modified vehicles… But after stumbling across these videos, I wonder if we should broaden our cover to bicycles as well as cars!

Check out this supercharged “cyclist”…

22″ Spinners anyone?

This is not so much modified… But definitely the type of guy who spends way too much time on his push bike…

Finally, a video to rival Ken Block and his Subaru drifting…

Nutters!
