Honda Joins Rolls-Royce… in the Air
Honda is set to join the likes of Rolls-Royce, Saab and BMW. You may be wondering what a typical middle-class family drive like Honda (which is not to run Honda down – they’re good cars that do the job they’re designed to do with flying colours, i.e. getting families from A to B in comfort and safety at an affordable price) is doing alongside luxurious European models. But we’re not talking about cars here: we’re talking about aeroplanes.
Yes, Honda is set to launch the Hondajet and has got a working prototype up into the air successfully. Tests are still being carried out, so it’ll be a wee while until we get Hondas above the roads as well as on them. (If you think it takes time to get a car from concept to the car sales yard, it’s nothing to the testing that aircraft go through). Honda isn’t alone in being a car manufacturer that has branched out beyond just four wheels.

Google? What the search engine?
Budget Benefits
The Gillard Government announced two pieces of legislation in the 2011 budget that might have escaped the attention of many, as they received very little press attention.

Children escaping from safety seats
There are many of us out there with ‘Houdini’ children that can climb or escape from anything your adult brain can think of. The problem with that is safety of your most precious cargo. Strapping your child into a secure safety seat is still the most highly regarded method of securing your children against the unforseen. Today’s regulations also state that you must have children up to the age of 7 in at least a safety ‘booster’ seat if they are over 15kgs in weight.
But what if you have the clever child that just knows how to get out? Even worse; the ones that pops through the front seats to say – ‘Hi mum’. Studies have shown that children today are far smarter than we ever were. The abundance of information available to them through technology gives them ideas that you and I never would have imagined.
