wedding carsChoosing your wedding car is just as important as choosing your wedding dress. Whether you want to make a statement or just care about comfort, you will want to pick out the correct wedding car for your wedding day.

Wedding cars are not just about getting from point A to B, which is why you need to consider these points before looking to hire a wedding car in the Melbourne area.

First, you need to decide what the theme or style of your wedding is so that you can choose an appropriate car to reflect this style. For example, if your wedding is contemporary you might want a car that is edgy, sleek, and modern. For a more traditional wedding, a classic and sophisticated car would be perfect.

When looking for the perfect wedding car in Melbourne consider what kind of a statement you are trying to make and what you are looking for in a wedding car. If you are looking to make a grand entrance, you will need to consider a car that would turn heads as you drive up. For an extremely grand and impressive entrance, you could hire a whole fleet of cars for you and your retinue to travel in. Whether you want to make a subtle or striking entrance, you will need to make sure that the wedding car company has a range of cars for you to choose from.

Secondly, an important factor to consider is comfort. Regardless of the style of car you chose you need to make sure that the cars run smoothly and are of a reliable brand. The car that you decide upon should be in good condition and if you go for a newer model you can be sure that it will be in better condition than an older model of car. When shopping around for your wedding car make sure that you have a looking at the exterior and interior of the cars to make sure that they are in mint condition.

Finally, when hiring a wedding car you need to make sure that the company that your rent the car from offers personalised and professional services. Deciding on a wedding car is not a decision that can be made without professional input so you need to find a company that not only has a range of cars but also have personnel who are knowledgeable about these cars. The staff should help you navigate through the process of hiring a wedding car until you decide on the perfect one.

Lambroghini Goes Green too - Amazing Diversification.


Just few years ago motor sports company were reluctant to diversify their hot wheels to a more greener side but now it seems that the majority of them are responding to the call of time. Lambroghini decides to go green as well. Amazing isn't it? It's a very rare but appreciable enough step by a company who has been known for its racing and speeding cars. I hope they have plans to curb the implications as a result of this decision.

Though it's a good initiative but it cannot be regarded as the only sports car company who took this bold step. We've seen Bentley releasing its bio-fuel car and also not to forget, ferrari, which is working hard and utilizing its large portion of research and development expenditure in reducing carbon emmissions. Let's hope lambroghini also performs well in this area.

Analysing the lambroghini's policy, we can see that they have seriously applied some business process re-engineering to some extent regarding the manufacture of their cars. The newly launched Lambroghini LP560-4 is able to emit 18% less CO2 than its prequel, Lambroghini Gallarado.

Lambroghini doesn't consider this enough, as they have committed for even more which means that they plan to reach a target of 35% less emmission by the year 2015. As I said they are applying some business process re-engineering, they are planning to modify a plant by installing a raft of solar technology in the next few years costing about 35 million euros and it will be able to cut the CO2 by 30% while produced during the production. They are not putting a full stop here as Lambroghini is also planning to reduce the weight of their cars, designing more efficint engines which includes introducing hybrid engines as well.

We must hope that this step of lambroghini would create a ground of competetion for other car manufacturers as well and ultimately the world or eco system would be benefited.
