Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn said that Infiniti is planning to develop a compact car that will be based on a small-car platform from Mercedes-Benz. Ghosn told reporters at the Frankfurt Motor Show that this new model is the product of the expanded cooperation between Daimler and the Renault-Nissan alliance.
There are rumors that this car will be produced in Europe where it will rival the Audi A3 and BMW 1 series. However, Nissan has yet to address these rumors.
In an Bloomberg interview, Nissan executive vice president Andy Palmer said that there's no rule that production of Infiniti cars is only done in Japan.
Palmer didn't elaborate on what other locations will build this car however. He did say that Infiniti requires a compact car in Europe to rival entry-level models from Audi and BMW.
He added that in 2014, Infiniti will launch gasoline and diesel engines that are based largely on the Etherea Concept that was unveiled at the Geneva auto show in March.
This is also on display at the 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show. Palmer said that this compact is likely to make up about 40% of Infiniti's sales in Europe.
Reuters had a previous report that talked about Nissan's plans to begin producing the car in Europe within the next two years, the first Asian luxury brand to have its production in the region. Ghosn said the stronger yen has prompted the transfer of the production of the next generation Infiniti models to somewhere outside Japan.

- Aids pregnant women, nursing mothers, and growing children to absorb calcium
Calcium Deficiencies Can Inhibit Proper Functioning of Calcium Metabolism
Children, pregnant women, and the elderly are those most at risk to experience health problems due to a lack of calcium. In part, this lack of calcium is caused by nutritional habits, processed sugar and white flour, which can inhibit proper functioning of our calcium metabolism. If calcium cannot be assimilated and metabolized in sufficient amounts, our health can be adversely affected. Special homeopathic triturations of mineral salts and Stinging Nettle in A. Vogel Calcium Absorption Formula help the absorption of calcium in our diet as well as its metabolism and assimilation.
Each tablet contains:
- Urtica dioica 1X (10.0 mg)
- Silicea 6X (2.5 mg)
- Calcarea carbonica 4X (0.5 mg)
- Calcarea phosphoricam 6X (0.5 mg)
- Natrum phosphoricum 6X (0.5 mg)
- Lactose (milk) approx. 100 mg per tablet
(All HPUS Class of Preparations)
This product is manufactured according to the Swiss GMP Standards and Inspection. Tests before, during and after processing guarantee uniform quality and purity.
- Place 2 tablets under the tongue 3 times daily, 15 minutes before eating Allow to slowly dissolve in the mouth. If tablets are slow to dissolve, chew and continue to absorb sublingually.
- 2-6 years of age: half the adult dose. Over 6 years of age: give adult dose.
Duration of treatment
An improvement in symptoms follows long-term intake of the tablets. Treatment should be continued for six months.
Precautions, Contraindications and Interactions
There are no known interactions with homeopathic products. If pregnant or nursing, seek professional advise before using.
Contraindication: no known allergy to any of the ingredients.
Actions and Pharmacology
Calcarea carbonica (calcium carbonate) 4X
Calcium carbonate is obtained from pulverized oyster shells. In homeopathy, oyster calcium is known as a stimulant of the periosteum (a membrane covering the bone and involved in bone regeneration and growth). It is also useful for mental and physical exhaustion, calcium metabolism disorders and delayed dentition.
Calcarea phosphorica (calcium phosphate) 6X
In homeopathic dilution, calcium phosphate is recommended for delayed dentition, prevention of tooth decay, fragile bones and delayed healing of fractured bones.
Natrum phosphoricum (sodium phosphate) 6X
Natrum phosphoricum supports the physiological processes and promotes overall well-being. It relieves cracking joints and rheumatism in the knees. Natrum phosphoricum is typically effective for the person sensitive to cold and whose sleep is agitated.
Silicea (silica) 6X
Silicea promotes mineral assimilation. It therefore helps to relieve demineralization-related problems such as: fatigue, exhaustion, neurasthenia, brittle hair and nails, tooth decay, thinness, sensitivity to cold, etc.
Urtica dioica (Stinging Nettle) 1X
Stinging Nettle is a member of the Urticacae family and is found in all temperate climates around the world. Stinging Nettle is known to be a reconstructive agent for the body. Its high mineral content (especially silica, iron and calcium) makes it invaluable for convalescence, anemia, rapid growth, etc. Urtica dioica reinforces and supports the whole body. In low homeopathic dilution, Urtica stimulates the body to better absorb and incorporate the minerals found in food.

Las Vegas witnessed the largest mass shooting in recent American history Oct 1, 2017. Within hours, hundreds of reports had been uploaded or printed to the web. Some stories contained false news that could have endangered even more people. Fake news has always been around but after the recent shooting it's more relevant than ever.
The increase probably has to do with readers immediately posting fake stories on social media before checking if their sources are credible or not. Continue reading The real repercussions of fake news

Delhi, India (PressExposure) August 19, 2008 -- According to a new research report on the Russian insurance industry by RNCOS, âRussian Insurance Industry Forecast to 2010â, after witnessing significant falls, the value of non-life insurance market in Russia is expected to grow at an impressive CAGR of 16% during 2008-2011 on the back of rising income level and increasing demand for motor insurance in the country.
The report finds that improving living standard in the country has pushed up the growth in the Russian insurance market, which is mainly driven by the non-life sector, especially motor insurance market. Cars and other upper class vehicles are afforded by those people who have high disposable income and above average living standard. As the per head disposable income in Russia surged at a CAGR of nearly 29.5% during 2002-2007, it is translating into high growth for the motor insurance market.
Further, out of the motor insurance, motor hull (or motor own damage) insurance will become the most popular in coming years because new credit opportunities have expanded the market significantly, says the report. It is now mandatory to take motor hull insurance when buying a car on credit. Despite these measures, the non-life insurance sector is underdeveloped, with only 10% cars covered under hull insurance. However, the motor hull insurance will grow at a rapid pace in the country as the sales of passenger cars are estimated to surge at a CAGR of more than 18% during 2008-2010.
âRussian Insurance Industry Forecast to 2010â is a comprehensive study of the re-emerging Russian insurance industry to analyze its growth in coming years. It also includes thorough study of various insurance products like property, aviation, motor hull and construction risk insurance to understand the future prospects of the overall industry. The research highlights the industry dynamics to analyze the opportunities, challenges and key growth factors.
The report further provides forecast on per head disposable income, number of insurance companies, GDP per head, and life and non-life insurance premium. The forecast will help the client to work out the business strategy for the Russian insurance market.

Having always had a sweet tooth, ice cream has always been at the top of the list for my dessert preferences.
My favourite (after gelato in Italy) has always been a tie between Ben & Jerry's and Haagen-Daaz however I think Ben & Jerry's might just have taken it.
I got a tub earlier from Sainsburys of what I assume must be a new flavour. I normally get cookie dough but they didn't have any left so looking through the ther flavours, I found All or Nut-ting. It is half hazelnut ice cream and half chocolate ice cream, filled with chocolate chunks and has a strip of what taastes like nutella ice cream. Needless to say it is absolutely mouth-watering.
I know most people will want to know how many calories it has or what the fat content is but to be brutally honest, who the hell cares? Can a dessert really taste like a dessert if it's fat free? Desserts are supposed to be a treat and be your guilty pleasure so in my opinion, when it comes to dessert, everything goes.
Ben & Jerry's can be quite pricey which is why I normally only buy it when it's on offer or on movie nights. Today I bought a 500ml tub from Sainsburys for £2.50 which in my opinion is an absolute bargain. If I didn't already have my arms full and wasn't so lazy to go and get a basket, I would have picked up a couple more tubs too.
Once again, Ben & Jerry's delivers!
Ben and Jerry's ice cream is always going to be my favorite, as much as I like other ones too, Ben and Jerry's is always going to be the best! Not only are their ethics very fair and likeable, their ice cream flavours are always very inventive and delicious.
My personal favorites are Half baked (half chocolate brownie ice cream and half cookie dough), Cookie Dough, Baked Alaska (Vanilla ice, marshmallow swirl, which chocolate polar bears) or Fossil Fuel (Sweet cream ice cream, Chocolate cookie pieces, chocolate dinosaurs and chocolate swirl).
They are always so creamy, and with those swirls and chunks they put in them, its always a different experience with each mouthful! They also do lower fat versions of their ice creams in frozen yoghurt varieties such as Chocolate Fudge Brownie, Cherry Garcia and Strawberry Cheesecake.
They use fair trade ingredients where possible, and support a whole host of charities. Their packaging is novel and unique, and they also get involved with music festivals!
I think the only negative I can see is the price. £5 for a tub of ice cream that will probably last 2 seconds, seems a little steep to me, but its on offer in a lot of places, so you can usually find it half price somewhere. It is worth £5, but I'm just being tight!
Now all we need is a B&J ice cream van to tour our towns, to help out people in need of their B&J fix whilst at work, now THAT would be genius!
I first tried Ben and Jerry's ice cream as a child at the cinema and I haven't really looked back since. They completely opened my eyes to just how amazing ice cream could be! Before that magical moment I hadn't really been too fussed about ice cream. You had vanilla and you had strawberry and you had chocolate flavour. It was all a bit boring. If you were lucky you got a wafer or a few sprinkles. Not anything to get particularly excited about.
Now no one could ever accuse Ben and Jerry's ice cream of being boring. Think deliciously creamy ice cream with some of the most original and exciting flavours I have ever come across. Cookie dough, chocolate brownie chunks, nuts, marshmallows, caramel, fudge and chocolate are just some of the many ingredients used in hundreds of different combinations to create some truly inventive flavours. I am not even going to try to list all of the Ben and Jerry's ice cream flavours here because there are just too many of them. In fact, it is a little difficult to find a definitive answer as to just how many there are exactly but the general consensus seems to be that there are over 100 including a few special editions. Yes, you read that right. Over 100 flavours! I don't think there are many other, if any at all, ice cream manufacturers that can boast that many! This means that there really is something for everyone, especially considering that they also make a few sorbets and frozen yoghurts! Everyone does have a favourite though. Mine is Half Baked although other popular choices include Cookie Dough, Phish Food, Baked Alaska and Chunky Monkey.
Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream is available to buy in the majority of grocery shops in 500ml and 150ml sizes. In Tesco, where I usually shop, the small size costs £1.69 and the larger ones cost £4.45. This is fairly expensive but I have noticed that they are reduced to half price fairly regularly. This is an INCREDIBLY popular offer though so you have to move fast to avoid disappointment.
They also have many scoop shops located all around the country, the majority of which seem to be mainly, but not exclusively, located in cinemas.
My only complaint would be that not all flavours are stocked in all locations. This does make sense considering that there are so many; there just wouldn't be room! It can be a bit disappointing though when your favourite flavour isn't stocked in your local shop and it can take a bit of shopping around to track down the flavour you were after. However, I think it is a testament to just how good their ice cream is that their customers are willing to do this as I wouldn't really bother with any other brand. There are also quite a lot that don't appear to be available in the UK at all, which is a little disappointing.
Not only am I a massive fan of the ice cream but I also really admire the company in general. Built up from scratch by lifelong friends Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, hence the name, from one ice cream parlour in Vermont it really is a massive success story. I have become quite familiar with the company over the years and I really respect the values it has.
They don't seem to be one of those companies that are solely motivated by profits but seem to be genuinely trying to make the world a better place. Environmental issues are important to them and they are constantly working to try and lower their impact on the world in a variety of ways such as developing ways to make their packaging more eco-friendly or rethinking the ways in which they power their factories.
Not only that but Ben and Jerry's are big advocates for the Fairtrade movement, which makes sure that the farmers that grow the crops that provide their ingredients are always given a fair price. They are currently in the process of making the entire company Fairtrade! Also, all of the brownies that feature in several of their most popular flavours are all supplied by the Greyston Bakery, well known for providing jobs for individuals from low-income backgrounds amongst other good work. Finally, all of the eggs they use in their ice creams come from free range sources and all of their ice creams are vegetarians.
Finally, Ben and Jerry's have quite a reputation for promoting issues that they believe in. Most recently this is same sex marriage in the UK and to show their support for this cause they have named their apple pie flavour ice cream Apple-y Ever After and have created a tub featuring a same sex couple. This is not the first time that they have pulled such a stunt and things like this really do help to raise awareness for important issues.
As you may be able to tell, I am a massive fan of Ben and Jerry's! It is a company with an amazing product and values that I have great respect for. They have perfectly branded themselves with most of their advertising featuring childlike cartoons that really reflect the fun and creativeness of the company. I think the only slight drawback is that their ice creams are not exactly healthy; in fact they can be quite calorific. Not surprising considering some of the ingredients I have listed above. However, they make for the perfect indulgent and decadent treat every so often that always manages to cheer me up. I do have to limit how often I allow myself to give in to my cravings because I can quite easily munch my way through an entire tub in one sitting. This ice cream really is THAT good.
There is a longstanding joke that says women only need two men in their lives, one named Ben and one named Jerry, and i can totally see where that comes from. When you have ice cream this yummy not a lot else matters!
Ben And Jerrys icecream most commonly comes in a cardboard, brightly designed 500ml carton. 150ml cartons are also available. The carton is a chunky circular shape. The colours vary depending on the flavour of icecream it contains.
The current flavours available are as follows:
- Caramel Chew Chew - Chocolate Covered Caramel Chunks Swimming in a Sea of Caramel Ice Cream.
- Cookie Dough - Vanilla Ice Cream Colliding with Chunks of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
- Strawberry Cheesecake - Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream with Strawberries and Cookie Swirls
- Jamaican Me Crazy Sorbet - Chunky Pineapple Sorbet with Passionfruit Swirls
- Chocolate Fudge Brownie - Chocolate Ice Cream Laden with Chocolate Brownie Pieces
- Chocolate Macadamia - Chocolate Ice Cream Swirled With Vanilla Ice Cream with 10% Macadamia Nuts Covered in Chocolate
- Vanilla - A Plain vanilla icecream
- Chunky Monkey - Banana Ice Cream with Chocolaty Chunks and Walnuts
- Vanilla Toffee Crunch - Vanilla Ice Cream with Chocolate Flavoured Chunks
- Half Baked - Vanilla Ice Cream Mixed with Marshmallow Swirls and White Chocolaty Polar Bears
- Phish Food - Chocolate And Vanilla Icecream With Marshmellow & Caramel With Chocolate Fish
(there is also a phish food frozen yoghurt that is less fat)
- Cheesecake Brownie - Cheesecake Flavour Icecream with Brownie Pieces and a Cheesecake Style Filling
- Mango Berry Swirl Sorbet - Mango Sorbet with Chunks of Mango Swirled with Mixed Berry Sorbet
The packaging of all of the carton's is colourful and designed to be eyecatching aswell as bein attractively modern and making it clear what it contains and that's it a ben and jerrys product.
Although all of there ice cream's are so unique and lovely, my favourite ben and jerry's flavour is the chocolate fudge brownie. Upon opening the carton i'm always greeted with the very pleasent scent of chocolate and freshly baked brownies.
Actually opening the carton can be quite tricky and you may need scissors because of the way the lid's sealed on with plastic.
Taste wise it's chocolatey with a smooth, creamy texture that melts at just the right speed. The chunks of chocolate fudge brownie looks excactly like a freshly baked bit of brownie and tastes amazing, with a soft texture and dark, rich chocolatey flavour that goes well with the icecreams sweetness.
It's a lovely treat!
B&J Also sell a variety of other edible products, such as milkshakes. I actually didn't really enjoy this in the slightest. I chose the one that was chocolate and cookie flavoured, mixed with the vanilla icecream. It was too sickly in my opinion and must of been over 1000 calories! I drank half and my boyfriend, who thorougly enjoyed it, had the rest.
The ben and jerrys website is a good site, it's colourful and attractive with fun interactive games, lots of ingredients information, videos explaining about ben and jerry's progress in the icecream business. It's all quite fun and the animations are good while not bein too silly. It's aimed at everyone incuding kids. There's also a game where you can see your horoscope which is fun and interactive, although not atall realistic.
The "about us" section of the website says 'back in '66, in a school gym class, Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield realised that they hated running but loved food. Years later in '78, Ben was fired from a lot of jobs and Jerry had failed for the second time to get into medical school. So, with a $5 correspondence course in ice cream making, they both opened their first scoop shop in a gas station in Burlington, Vermont. They soon became popular in the local community for the finest all natural ice cream. Ben had no sense of taste so he relied on what he called 'mouth feel', so big chunks of chocolate, fruit and nut became their signature. While they disagreed at times over the chunk size, they both agreed that they wanted to enjoy themselves - as Jerry put it 'if it's not fun, why do it?'. Most of this i've already heard, as it was mentioned on there advert in a cartoon to advertise there icecream. It also states on there 'about us' that 4 flavours of there icecream now have a fairtade status, adding that Fairtrade is about making sure people get theire fair share of the pie.
The website also includes the calories of there products which is helpful for anyone calorie counting.
All in all, ben and jerry's products each have a unique taste. They're all high quality and although expensive (unless on offer), are worth the money and are nice as a once in a while treat.
I'd reccomend it to anyone. Chocoholics will love phish food and chocolate fudge brownie, while others will enjoy the frozen yoghurts and sorbets. There's certianly something for everyone.
We all know ( and love! ) Ben and Jerry's! Its the ultimate treat for us any time of the day, no matter what mood we are in.
With all their flavours too choose from, I can promise you that you will find one which you love.
Ben and Jerry were school friends who were born only four days apart in Brooklyn, New York.
During Ben's senior years in school, Ben drove an ice cream truck!
After Ben left school, he he tried various courses, but eventually he came back to ice cream. ( he must have ice cream running through his veins! )
Jerry started on a more original path, after graduating from high school ( where he worked as an ice cream scooper in the cafeteria! another one with ice cream running through his veins!), he then attended a college in Oberlin to study medicine which he later graduated from.
Jerry then returned to New York and studied as a lab technician.
A few years later, Ben and Jerry decided to go into the food business together. ( thank the lord! )
Their first thought was to make bagels..( oh no, bagels! I don't like bagels! please not bagels ) but luckily, they couldn't afford it, so decided to take a course, only 5 pound at the time, on ice cream!
They decided they were going to do business in Burlington, as it was a popular place for college students but had no ice creams parlours around.
In 1978 Ben and Jerry opened up their first Ben and Jerry shop in a Burlington gas station. ( woohoo! )
Their lovely ice cream shop became extremely popular, with their rich ice cream and their amazing creative flavours.
Ben and Jerry also made sure that they connected with the public ( aww, sweeties! ) they hosted free films festivals and give away free scoops of ice cream on their first anniversary in the store which is still a tradition today.
In 1980, they both started to make their well known ice cream for local grocers, a year later they expanded this operation. In 1983 their business increased significantly, Ben and Jerrys company opened up its first non-vermont in franchise in Maine, and signed a deal with a Boston distribution company!
Their favourite signature flavours were unveiled during the 1980s, some which included New York Super Fudge Chunk and Cherry Garcia, by 1987 sales were at 32 million dollars! A year later the president Ronald Reagan named Ben and Jerry the U.S small business person of the year, and by the end of that year the company was operation shops in 18 states.
Just so you know, I didn't copy this but neither did I think of it myself, I got useful information from the internet and put it into my own words, I love Ben and Jerry and they have done so well!
The ice cream comes in two different sizes tubs.
150ml: around £1.98
500ml: around £4.18
I think they are worth the money, super indulgent little tubs of heaven.
I had never even heard of Ben and Jerry's before my OH first introduced me to it a few years ago, we was ordering take away at the time and he suggested it, I picked out Cookie Dough and it was probably one of the best things I ever did regarding food.
If Cookie Dough doesn't sound your thing, do not worry! Plenty of other favours to choose from, including:
Chocolate Fudge Brownie = Chocolate ice cream with fudge brownies!
Strawberry Cheesecake = Strawberry cheesecake ice cream with strawberries and a thick Graham cracker swirl.
Peanut Butter Cup = Peanut butter ice cream with peanut butter cups.
Red Velvet Cake = Red velvet cake batter ice cream with red velvet cake pieces and a cream cheese frosting swirl.
Cherry Garcia = Cherry ice cream with cherries and fudge flakes.
Phish Food = Chocolate ice cream with gooey marshmallow, caramel swirls and fudge shaped fish!
And lots lots lots more, as you can probably see from above, they are extremely inventive and this is what I love about them! Unfortunately though, only a variety of these are available in the UK, but the ones that are available are bloody lovely!
My personal favourite is Cookie Dough, which is plain vanilla ice cream with big chunks of cookie dough thrown in, and my god, they are extremely generous!
The vanilla ice cream is very rich, very creamy and tastes quite expensive, the texture is absolutely divine and this pot of ice cream was made in heaven.
I love the texture and taste of the cookie dough, but I know some people don't EXAMPLE: My brother, he finds it fowl and thinks it shouldn't be in the ice cream, but I can vouch for plenty of people who do love it.
The dough is sweet, feels chewy and just yummy.
The chocolate chips aren't huge, but they are noticeable and you can taste them whilst they are in your mouth, they make the ice cream come together.
I have also tried, half baked, chocolate fudge brownie, phish food, cherry garcia and plain vanilla.
I have to say that these are also delicious, not as good as cookie dough in my opinion, but they are yummy, you get a lot for your money, they are just really pleasing.
Well with most ice creams of course these aren't going to be any different, they are quite fatty ( especially when you tuck into a full tub as I have done! ) so they won't be the best for your diet. I won't bother putting down the amount of fat as different ones contain different amounts.
But if you are quite concious but really want to try it out, why not opt for the other options which are available?
There is frozen yoghurt available! Which isn't half as bad as eating the ice cream, so go ahead and treat yourself and you won't have to feel bad, I am sure they are gorgeous.
Choose from cherry, chocolate, strawberry and I am sure there is more!
I highly recommend for a treat every once in a while!
I hope I helped you in some kind of way! :)
Thanks for reading!
The BEST ice cream. Pricey and high in calories but deeeeelicious.
Lately Asda and morrisons seem to be in competition putting ben and jerrys on offer, currently it is £4 in morrisons (full price in asda though at £4.18 for 500ml tub).
Ben and jerrys ice cream comes in 150ml and 500ml tubs from supermarkets with a variety of unique flavours. They boast about using fairtrade products and their tubs are environmentally friendly being cardboard.
All the ice creams have a very thick creamy texture and are very moreish!
My personal favourite is Caramel chew chew. A delicious creamy caramel flavour ice cream with swirls of a caramel sauce through and delicious choc chunks with a soft caramel centre. The chocolate pieces are almost like little chocolates you would get from a box of luxury chocolates just smaller. To eat just a bit is impossible i always end up finishing the tub.
Most of the ben and jerrys are suitable for vegetarians just those that have the marshmallows are not i believe. We also have the chunky monkey flavour for my husband which is banana flavour ice cream with dark chocolate little bananas and walnuts. It is a very subtle flavoured ice cream not a sickly banana ice cream and the choc bananas are made from lovely chocolate.
The only downside is if you have to pay full price for the ice cream otherwise its just fab!
When I went shopping this weekend I found that Ben and Jerry's ice cream was half price so I just had to get a tub! It is without doubt one of my favourite ice cream brands but I do try to avoid it because it is so incredibly unhealthy, but so tasty. My favourite flavours have to be phish food and cookie dough. On this occasion I went for the cookie dough and it was a good choice. The creamy vanilla ice cream with chunks of dark chocolate and balls of cookie dough throughout is truly delectable but it is incredibly morish! Sometimes I do find it hard to chew the cookie dough as I have sensitive teeth but it's worth it. I think Ben and Jerry's is a guilty pleasure and cannot bear to share a tub, in my eyes it's one of those ice creams which is to be savoured whilst having a girly night in front of the TV. Ben and Jerry's is notoriously unhealthy but I have started to notice there are 'light' versions coming out which I haven't tried but would be very interested in. However, when consumed in moderation Ben and Jerry's is undoubtedly the ultimate indulgence!
This is one brand of ice cream that I absolutely adore, there is a huge range of unique flavours available including my personal favourite half baked which contains chocolate ice cream and chucks of cookie dough an brownie pieces. Some of the other flavours that they have included baked Alaska, cookie dough, chocolate fudge brownie and phish food. Occasionally there are even special limited flavours included, these are only around for a limited time. When you look on the Ben and Jerry's website it shows all of the flavours that they have had including the limited ones. All flavours of Ben an Jerry's are rich in flavours an make a perfect treat. Unlike most ice creams the ice cream is not solid and is easily scooped out of the tub with a spoon or even eaten from the tub!
The only downfall that I have with the product is the price, as it is £3.99 for a tub in most supermarkets; this has resulted in me only buying it when it is on offer. The other downfall that I have is that there are not many flavours that are not very sweet; this is not an issue for myself as I have a very sweet tooth.
Those who have read some of my reviews will know that I far favour the savoury snack over the sweet, 9 times out of 10 I prefer to reach for something salty than sugary, however Ben & Jerry's consistantly put me in the rare position of craving ice cream.
All other brands of ice cream I can take or leave, Ben & Jerry's is different for several reasons....
----Top Ingredients----
Ben & Jerrys use quality ingredients, at least in all the flavours I've had. Far from being jargon you can actually taste the quality of the milk used to make the ice cream, the luxurious thickness in their brownies, the deep and complex flavours of their small chocolate fishes. In fact it's primarily this consistant quality that keeps me coming back for more.
----Imaginative Flavour Combinations----
To date there have been slightly over 50 flavours to choose from, some are alas now extinct but several of my favourites are still available today (thank god), these include...
Chocolate Brownie= Chocolate ice cream with chocolate brownies
Phish Food= Caramel, marshmallow and chocolate ice cream with delicious chocolate fishes.
Cookie Dough= This ones the daddy in my opinion. Vanilla ice cream with chunks of raw cookie dough.
My favourites that are now confined to the Ben & Jerry graveyard include...
Double Trouble=Chocolate and White Chocolate ice cream with white and dark chocolate chunks.
Minter Wonderland=Simply mint ice cream with chocolate chips.
----Helping The Little Guy----
Ben & Jerry have supported many worthy charities in their time, with a particular focus on preserving the world around us, after all, no world means no delicious ice cream to eat 8^S Animal preservation and climate change are important to the company, which is always good to see.
I have also heard that originally Ben & Jerry's sourced their brownie pieces from a small bakery in New York, while it wouldn't be viable to continue to do so today, it's still representative of the companies drive and commitment to seeking out only the finest ingredients.
It is for these reasons that Ben & Jerry's breaks the mould, they have earned their place at the top through not only being supportive of charities, not only by being imaginative, creative andd original with their flavour combinations but simply for making an ice cream that tastes better than the rest of the competition.
There is only one gripe I have and unfortunately it is an unavoidable one, these 500ml tubs do not come cheap, they are usually around £3.50 mark but if your lucky you can sometimes pick up 2 for a fiver. Usually I would consider this a total rip but in this instance you can really tell where the extra money has gone.
*Ben and Jerrys in General*
I love ben and jerrys! They make the most amazingly yummy ice cream ever and they have the most bizzare but wonderful flavours, from vanilla toffee crunch to cookie dough (Which is my favorite). They also make a range of mini tubs of ice cream, sorbets and low fat frozen yoghurt, so you can even enjoy ben and jerrys on a diet!
I when on a cruise last august and they had a ben and jerrys counter there and it was so yummy! I don't eat ice cream/sweet/chocolate a lot but when I do, I always have ben and jerrys.
My favorite (so far) is the chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. It is the best ice cream ever. It contains vanilla ice cream with cookie dough before it is baked and it also as yummy chocolate chips in it too. One thing I don't really like about the ice creams is that they are not soft scoop so I have to leave them out for like 10 minutes or more so that I can actually get it out of the tub, which is a bit annoying. So I think if they made a soft scoop version it would be better.
*Cookie dough ice cream*
This is my favorite, well the strawberry cheese cake is nice too, but the mixture of the cookie dough, chocolate chips and the vanilla ice cream is really nice. You can buy it in the 500ml tub and the mini 150ml tub. But one downside is that the ice creams (not the low fat frozen yoghurt) has 270 calories per 100g and 14g of fat! Which is not good for your waist line but it is good after a long day (occasionally)!
*They have so many flavours including vanilla toffee crunch (with fair trade and all natural ingredients), chocolate fudge brownie, caramel chew chew, vanilla and chunky monkey.
*They also have a small range of sorbets including, mango berry swirl, jamaican me crazy (pineapple and passion fruit) and baked alaska (vanilla ice cream with marshmallow swirls and chocolate poler bears)!
*They have a small range of low fat frozen yoghurts too including, chocolate fudge brownie, cherry garcia, strawberry cheese cake and phish food (which is a chocolate frozen yogurt with marshmallow, caramel and chocolate shaped fish), which I think I will have to try... for review purposes only.
*They use all natural ingredients
*I love the packaging for all of there products, it is so colourful and most of they have strange cheeky names too
*Difficult to scoop out so I think a soft scoop version would be good
*I love the flavours they are so nice but they are high in calories and fat!
*They lower fat frozen yoghurts only contain 5g of fat and 220 calories (The phish food one)
*A good but slightly naughty treat
*A bit on the expensive side but it is worth it for the yummy products and they use some fair trade ingredients, they use all natural ingredients and they are just great!
*I buy mine from asda or morrisons but I think they would sell them in other larger supermarkets too at about £3.99
Thank you for reading my review
Ben and Jerry's is a high quality ice cream company who's fame and success is global.
I have always found that the more you pay for ice cream, the better it tends to be and this is definitely the case here. You can expect to pay around £4 per 500ml tub of their dessert which is a high amount to pay. Supermarkets are obviously aware of this fact however, and for this reason there are often offers on such as half price, or two for £5, which is when I buy it!
Apart from the disadvantage of the high price, this is undoubtedly a great product. The range is large enough to cater for all tastes without being excessive and often varies depending on the time of year, for example, developing to include sorbets in summer time.
Much to my delight, the majority involve chocolate in some or indeed several forms and often include things like cookie dough, or chocolate fudge brownie pieces which are generously sized and full flavored. The texture is perfect for ice cream; rich, thick and creamy and the fact that it melts slowly supports this.
My other reason for loving this brand is the packaging that they use. The names are inventive such as 'phish food' or 'fossil fuel' and the bright cartons jump out in the aisles and in the freezer!
Ben and jerry's is the most popular and famous make of ice cream. It is also the most expensive!! A 500ml tub of this will usually set you back nearly £4 in most supermarkets!
Personally i wouldnt pay this for a tub of ice cream, especially when you can get a 2 litre tub in asda (their own brand) for £1.07 and it is actually really nice. I only ever treat myself to this ice cream when it is on offer. Even then i think it is expensive! They are such small tubs!
You only need a small amount of the ice cream though, as they are all very rich and can be too sickly if you eat too much.
Ben and jerry's do loads of unusual flavours, they dont do your usual plain vanilla or strawberry ice cream.
My favourite has to be the cookie dough flavour! They are very generous with the cookie dough in this ice cream, you get loads of big pieces of cookie dough in there. You can deffinately tell it is real cookie dough as well, they dont add artifical flavourings to it. This cookie dough ice cream had become their best selling flavour!
Other flavours they do include phish food, baked alaska, strawberry cheesecake, chocolate macadamia, caramel chew, chocolate fudge brownie, chnky monkey, half baked and fairly nuts. They all sound delicious!
They also do smaller tubs of this ice cream, if you like them as a single desert, or just want to try them before you pay £4 for a full tub. These come in 150ml tubs for £1.50, but they are currently on offer in tesco at the moment, 4 for £5.00.
Ben and jerrys also do a range of frozen yogurts. You can get the frozen yogurts in phish food flavour, as well as chocolate fudge brownie and cherry garcia. I have not tried these frozen yogurts yet, but going off the quality of the ice cream they make, im sure they are gorgeous!
Overall, this ice cream is well over priced in my opinion, but it does taste delicious and is deffinately the best ice cream out there! This is nice as a treat, but i dont buy it unless it is on offer!
Ben & Jerry's Ice cream is pretty famous stuff. American in origin, it was probably one of the first ice cream brands to really show people what ice cream could be if it was got really 'right'.
The flavours in their range are mostly chocolate based which means that for me, they're things that smell lovely but which I can't eat - Things like 'Cookie Dough', 'Phish Food' and 'Chocolate Fudge Brownie'. However, they do one or two which are ok for me - 'Baked Alaska', and 'Vanilla'. They do a couple of other items which although technically not ice cream I can also eat - two Sorbets 'Jamaican Me Crazy' which is pineapple sorbet with peach swirls, and 'Mango Berry Swirl' which is mango sorbet with chunks of mango and mixed berry sorbet swirled in. There's also one of their frozen yoghurts that I can eat - 'Strawberry Cheesecake' - very yummy!
Baked Alaska is my favourite of those that I can eat. It's vanilla ice cream with soft marshmallow sauce swirled in it, and white chocolate polar bears (yes I can eat white chocolate). Each piece of white chocolate is a good size too - about the size of a jelly baby - so they make a good bite when you find one. The vanilla ice cream is superb and is filled with proper vanilla that you can actually taste, and being what I call GOOD ice cream, it's also very rich and creamy in texture and flavour too. In any other form it would be much to sweet, but being icey cold it's fabulous.
For me, eating this ice cream and sorbet and frozen yoghurt is something that I feel I can indulge in occasionally even though it's expensive because as well as being incredibly tasty it's also made by a company who are ethical. They say on their website 'Our aim is to make the best possible ice cream, in the nicest possible way.' And I think they do achieve this pretty well. They use good quality ingredients that are from fair trade sources, free range eggs, and milk and cream from sustainable dairies that are linked to helping farmers keep everything as good for the planet as possible. Add to this that they opt for cardboard packaging on the products sold in stores, and even go as far as to use 100% corn starch based cold drinks cups in their scoop shops. The company is now climate neutral from cow to cone as they put it, on all the flavours they make in Europe.
So what's so special about the flavour of their ice cream - well that's a hard one. For me it's mostly to do with the fact that they combine interesting flavours with really good solid quality. It's fine to have nice flavours, but if you don't invest in the quality of the basic product - i.e. the vanilla ice cream that's the basis for most of their products, then you won't get anywhere fast.
Their prices are high. In many ways, it's too high for most people to be happy paying it on a regular basis - a 400ml tub costs around £3-4 generally, but special offers are to be found where you can get 2 tubs for a fiver or similar in some of the supermarkets. For me, yes this is ice cream that constitutes a special treat, so it's one of those things that I don't mind paying a bit for, and as I've said already, knowing that it's an ethical company who are making this delicious product and that I'm not contributing to the mess the worlds in by buying and eating it makes me happy.
I love Ben and Jerrys! They definately have a flavour to suit everyone and they are always worth trying. Some have normal names and some are a sort of 'joke', like Chunky Monkey which has walnuts and fuge in it.
It comes in 500ml tubs for about £4 and you can get small snack tubs but I dont think they are worth the money at 100ml for between £1 and £2.
The are a good ethical company all about fair trade and they have two types of ice cream, normal icecream and frozen yogurt. The taste the same in my opinion and I have found that the frozen yogurt tubs are usually on offer at around £1.99 for a 500ml tub! I think this is because people think it will taste different but it doesnt.
Their individual stores and stands are nice as well. My local Cineworld has one and they do sundaes and milkshakes *mmmmm* lol
Over all i think yeah it is quite expensive but you are getting good quality and loads of different flavours in one tub.
The pictures on the packaging and advertising are really nice and friendly but i did have an accident the other day where i couldnt get the plastic wrap off and as i pushed it up the rim of the lid sliced my finger! *ouch*
Usually the tub rims are rounded but not this time!
Ben and Jerry's is a popular American ice cream brand. It's a pretty premium brand, so expect to pay around £4 for a 500ml tub of ice cream in supermarkets. However, they do occasionally have offers on, so grab whilst you can (it is frozen after all and will keep for ages).
The ice cream is different to other brands because each tub contains a variety of flavours and ingredients rather than your bog standard strawberry, chocolate, vanilla flavours. The different flavours also have unusual and often punny names such as 'Phish Food', which is a chocolate ice cream with chocolatey shaped fish, marshmellows and caramel. This is a very popular flavour, but too be honest it's far too rich for me and I prefer things like Caramel Chew Chew and Cookie Dough.
One of the flaws for me is that the tubs are a bit flimsy once you've taken the sturdy lid off, and if you try to spoon the ice cream out straight after it's been in the freezer, the tub tends to go squishy easily. However, it melts very quickly so keep an eye on it and only leave it to thaw for a few minutes.
Ben and Jerry's has fairly recently launched a range of fruity low fat frozen yoghurts, which taste incredibly similar to the ice creams. However, they are still packed with sugar so not a healthy option. They also do a range of sorbets which are very refreshing, particularly in the summer.
Ben and Jerry's has a counter all to themselves in my local Showcase cinema, and they serve delicious sundaes as well as scoops and milkshakes. They are quite expensive however; a two scoop sundae will set you back around £5. However, you should definitely try one if you haven't already because they are delicious. Choose one or two favourite flavours of ice cream, then add hot fudge or chocolate sauce and milk chocolate fish or white chocolate polar bears, and you have a delicious calorie-laden treat. Being a huge fan of milkshakes I tried them but was very disappointed as despite being freshly made in front of me with my favourite flavours, it tasted very watery and wasn't worth the money.
Ben and Jerry's relies a lot on its marketing, which is shown with the well-styled packaging and friendly cartoon style adverts. A lot of people I know love it and think it's a great treat, but I can take it or leave it (though I find it hard to resist a sundae!).

Saudi Arabia says Iranian citizens will attend this year's annual Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca, after missing last year's event following a bitter rift between Riyadh and Tehran.
The Saudi side, also, confirmed the news.
"The ministry of hajj and the Iranian organization have completed all the necessary measures to ensure Iranian pilgrims perform hajj 1438 according to the procedures followed by all Muslim countries", the official Saudi Press Agency said in a statement Friday, referring to the Islamic calendar.
Saudi emergency personnel stand near bodies of Hajj pilgrims at the site of a stampede in Mina, near Mecca, in September 2015.
In 2017 Iran will send 85,000 people to the global religious event, to take place in the fall, the Hajj and Pilgrimage Organization said in an announcement published on its website March 18.
Iranian pilgrims did not participate in the Haj past year for the first time in almost three decades, after Riyadh and Tehran failed to agree on security and logistics.
More than 1.8 million faithful took part in the 2016 Hajj, but Iranians stayed at home after tensions between Riyadh and Tehran boiled over following a deadly crush of people during the 2015 pilgrimage.
The visits to countries that are some of world's biggest importers of Saudi oil aim to promote investment opportunities in the kingdom, including the sale of a stake in national oil company Saudi Aramco.
Ties worsened in January previous year when protesters stormed the Saudi embassy in Tehran in response to Saudi Arabia's execution of a Shiite cleric convicted of terrorism, leading Riyadh to sever diplomatic ties.
After losing market share to Russian Federation past year, Saudi Arabia has sought to boost oil sales to China, the world's second-largest oil market, by working mostly with China's top three state oil firms.

Here's what's new from Health Canada…
Guide on Health Canada Implementation of Changes to the Food and Drugs Act
Health Canada has issued a Guide to New Authorities, setting out the guiding principles that will govern decision making with respect to the new powers given it pursuant to the recent changes to the Food and Drugs Act (see our previous newsletter for particulars).
Among other things, this Guide discusses how Health Canada will determine whether a therapeutic product presents a serious risk of injury to human health and describes when such a risk will be considered "imminent" for recall ordering purposes.
Although the Guide is already in use, Health Canada is seeking stakeholder comments prior to its finalization. We encourage all stakeholders to read the consultation document carefully and if you are interested in making comments, note that the deadline for comments is June 8, 2015.
OECD Global Tracking/Traceability Information Exercise
In March, Health Canada circulated the draft OECD proposal to enhance consumer product tracking and traceability tools for consumers, regulators and stakeholders. The OECD is seeking public comment on the feasibility of specific practices aimed at improving tracking information on consumer products.
The consultation paper can be found here. Comments are due by May 30, 2015.
Regulation of Reprocessors of Single Use Devices
Earlier this year, Health Canada announced changes to its oversight over commercially reprocessed single use medical devices.
Under the federal regulatory framework, companies that reprocess and distribute medical devices originally authorized and labelled for single use to Canadian healthcare facilities will be held to the same requirements as manufacturers of new devices. It is anticipated that these requirements will be implemented over an 18 month transition period to allow affected parties to bring themselves into compliance.

Purchasing Parts
If you're building a Restomod, you're going to need parts. Some parts might be used, but some will need to be new. There are many different sources for parts these days. More manufacturers are making parts than ever before. You can save some money by buying from mailorder warehouses, but you can buy from your local speed shop to support your local economy and get expert advice. Automotive swap meets are a great place to get a good deal on hard-to-find parts. With the Internet growing, options for purchasing what you want or need has increased. Most of the parts you need are available from one or more sources.
This Tech Tip is From the Full Book, HOW TO BUILD FORD RESTOMOD STREET MACHINES. For a comprehensive guide on this entire subject you can visit this link:

Mail-Order Warehouses
Everyone is familiar with mailorder warehouses. They send you catalogs with ridiculously low prices on all the parts you need for your car. They can offer these low prices because they buy their parts in bulk. They may buy 250 (or more) small-block Ford Edelbrock Performer RPM intake manifolds at one time. The manufacturers cut them deals because of the volume of parts they purchase. Mail-order companies make their money from volume sales and shipping and handling charges. Even when they say shipping is free, they usually hit you with handling charges.
There's a drawback to ordering your parts through mail-order warehouses: They don't offer the customer service that you can get at a local speed shop. Maybe you want a new carburetor, but don't realize you need other parts like return springs, gaskets, carburetor studs, air cleaner studs, hose, fittings, etc. Maybe you don't know the exact size of carburetor you need for your engine. You may need a little tuning help once you receive the carburetor. It might show up damaged from shipping, and you need to return it. If you order from a mail-order warehouse, these issues are not as easy to deal with as they would be if you paid a little more for the carburetor from your local speed shop.
Speed Shops
Your local speed shop is a great place to buy new parts. If they don't have what you want in stock, they can usually order it for you. The parts may be more expensive than mail-order warehouses, but they offer services mailorder companies cannot. Maybe you aren't sure which part is best for your application. Maybe you want to actually compare the part to a similar one from a different manufacturer. If you buy a part that turns out to be defective, you can drive back to the speed shop and swap it for a good part. What if you have a question about installing your part? There are always a few employees with the knowledge to assist you. Mail-order warehouses can offer lower prices, but they cannot compete when it comes to customer service. If you spend your money at your local speed shop, you'll be putting money back into your local economy. Some people actually spend hours at the speed shop asking for help, and then they go home and order the parts from a mail-order warehouse. Sure, they save a few bucks, but they didn't support the shop with the service. Speed shops cannot survive without support from customers. If you have a good local speed shop, support them by buying your parts there. That way they'll still be in business the next time you need a little help with your project.
Swap Meets
There aren't too many places you can get great prices on new and used parts, but a swap meet is one of them. Maybe you're looking for a good deal on a fiberglass hood or some vintage valve covers. Most guys get up extremely early to set out their parts, hoping to get rid of everything. Not all of the parts will sell, but they may be willing to come down on the price so they do not have to pack it all back up.
Wrecking Yards
Maybe your project calls for some stock parts. Maybe you need an interior panel that isn't available from original equipment manufacturers or re-manufacturers. In this case, you may have to check some wrecking yards. The wrecking yard can be a goldmine where you may find everything you need. If nothing at all, it is a good source for simple, small parts like bolts and washers. You may need a complete roof section or a complete firewall and cowl section. These parts are not available from reproduction companies. As time goes on, it is getting harder to find some parts, but if you search yards off the beaten path, you may find what you're looking for.
Some wrecking yards have wrecked cars of all makes and models. Others are specific to antique cars, trucks, or a particular manufacturer. These specialty wrecking or salvage yards help increase your chances of finding the specific part that you're searching for. Some salvage yards have complete engines out of new Mustangs and Cobras with transmissions and wiring harnesses. Some of these might even have high-performance parts already installed. For instance, a 5.0 might have headers, cam, performance injectors, and ported heads. People have been known to find full-tilt racing transmissions, engines, and rear axles in wrecking yards. Maybe you'll find a set of re-upholstered sport seats or a new aftermarket shifter. You never know what treasures lurk at your local wrecking yard.
Wrecking yards offer more than just the ability to purchase used parts. They're a great place for getting reference information. Maybe you need to know how a part was installed, which might be necessary because you are doing a custom installation on your project and need to see how a part is factoryinstalled on a car. You can see how a cup holder or a door panel is installed on a car or truck. A lot can be learned by removing interior panels on a newer car. You will get to see how the factory installs its parts. There are many new engineering ideas waiting on newer-model cars for you to soak up. Attention to these details will give you valuable information that you can use when building your car.
Maybe you need to measure the frame width or the width of a 9-inch rear end for a '76 Lincoln Mark IV. You may be installing suspension for a different vehicle, and you can get measurements from donor cars. Keep your eyes and your mind open to new ideas the next time you stop by a wrecking yard. Bring a pen and some paper to jot down information. You can try bringing a camera, but some wrecking yards don't allow them for insurance reasons. Check with the management.
Before the 1990s, there were fewer places to buy parts for your car. With the Internet growing as it has, your options for purchasing what you want or need have increased. Now, from the comfort of your home, you can access parts manufacturers, warehouses, wrecking yards, distributors, builders, and other automotive-related businesses.
Internet auctions are also a growing source for finding the parts you need or want. With the Internet auctions like EBay, you can buy parts from someone on the opposite coast. It is like having a wrecking yard or speed shop the size of the planet, but accessible from your home. The seller posts his new or used part on the website. You can log in and bid on it. If you are the highest bidder, you win the auction. People sell small parts you would not think twice about throwing into your garbage can. They also sell complete magazine-feature quality Restomods.
Other less formal Internet sites have message boards with good car parts for sale. These message boards are not monitored or controlled by a secondary source to promote honesty. Most of the online buyers and sellers are honest, but you take your chances with any online purchasing, even with monitored sites. High-profile auction websites are not guaranteed either; if a deal seems too good to be true, it might be. There are some real low-down scum who think it's fun to post pictures of a car that does not belong to them, like a '66 Shelby GT- 350-S, and then take money for the car without delivering it. Bid with caution
Purchasing Cars
You may need to start your Restomod project by purchasing a car. There are many items to take into consideration before purchasing a car.
Unfinished Projects
Check around; you'll find good bargains. I saw an article once that stated over 70 percent of "frame-off" projects are sold before they are finished, or sold multiple times before they're finished. After participating in the automotive hobby for almost 20 years, I believe that figure. There are many reasons big car projects are sold before they are finished. The reasons range from loss of interest, lack of funds, life changes, and changes in overall planning. Most of the reasons can be traced to one problem: the lack of an original plan, or the ability to stick to it. Either way, you can benefit from purchasing a project car that has tons of money and hours poured into it. These cars are usually sold for less than half the money and time invested. This is a good way to save some of your money.
Purchasing an unfinished project car can also be a bad thing. It's possible the builder found a flaw in his plan or found some serious hidden rust or damage. An unfinished project might be slapped together with shoddy bodywork or inferior parts. If the car has a roll cage or heavily fabricated framework, inquire about the type and thickness of the tubing. Bring a tape measure and check some of the measurements for symmetry and straightness. If you don't have experience surveying a car for possible problems, have an experienced person inspect the car before purchasing it. If you have a good idea of what you are looking for before you start looking, you might not make a bad choice. For instance, if you are making a Restomod, you may want to stay away from some unfinished Pro-Street projects. Some Pro-Streeters are easily converted, but don't forget, they are set up for straightline racing. It could cost more money than it's worth to get the car modified for street Restomod duties.
This blue 1965 Mustang fastback is getting a second lease on life. When Tate Walthall found the car, it was built for straight-line driving. He wanted a Mustang that would take any line and do it well. He purchased the car and took it directly to Campbell Auto Restoration (CAR) in Campbell, California. He knew the team there was capable of working miracles on specialized cars and had the attention to detail he required.
The 351W was already modified with the necessary parts to suit Tate's needs. It was topped with Dart Pro 1 heads, Edelbrock Victor Jr. intake, and a Holley 650-cfm double-pumper carburetor. The car came equipped with a set of custom headers that were in great shape, so they were spared, but CAR had to modify them to clear the clutch linkage. CAR built a complete exhaust system with a Bassani X-pipe, a pair of DynaFlow bullet mufflers, and a pair of Bassani front-exit mufflers. Some custom oval tubing was used to fabricate some side exit exhaust tips. Overall, the sound of the exhaust is very unique. It actually sounds like an expensive, highpowered European car.
To get the car rolling, the old manual-valve-body-equipped C4 transmission was ditched in favor of a Dodge Viper 6- speed. The 9-inch rear end was already built to handle the power, so that was left alone. Slide-A-Link track bars were installed for traction control. The front suspension was upgraded with Total Control Products' coil-over front suspension and power rack-and-pinion steering. A hollow track-style front sway bar was adapted to help control body roll. Braking was enhanced with 13-inch Baer brakes on 1970-1973 Mustang spindles and 12-inch Baer brakes in the rear.
Pre-1967 Mustangs don't have much comfortable room for tires wider than 235s in the front and 245s in the rear, but Tate wanted a wider footprint on the road. With the help of CAR, he chose 17×8-inch front and 17×9.5-inch Team III wheels, wrapped with Dunlop SP 8000 245/45ZR17s and 285/40ZR17s. Since the tire and wheel choices were made, and the stock body lines wouldn't accommodate them, some body massaging was in store. The front fenders were meticulously worked with a hammer and dolly for extra tire clearance. The rear quarters were a lot of extra work. They were removed and fabricated from multiple donor quarter panels that were worked with hammers, dollies, and an English wheel. The job netted big gains in tire clearance, but the changes are subtle enough to make seasoned Mustang enthusiasts take a second look to see how the car is able to handle the oversized rubber.
Tate's car had started with a good, solid body when he took possession. It was covered in "Arrest-me Red," but it wasn't Tate's favorite color. With the fenders and quarters already missing their paint and the car disassembled, it only made sense to repaint the entire car to a color Tate really wanted. An R-type front racing apron, Shelby hood, and functional side scoops were added, and then the car was ready for paint. Tate picked a custom blue and white from Gasurit. The blue was followed by correctly spaced, variable-width Shelby stripes.
The floorpan had been patched by a previous owner. Unlike most horror stories of shoddy patchwork, somebody had really done a nice job on this Mustang. The strength of the floorpan and body was seriously upgraded with the addition of some integral subframe connectors. CAR didn't cut any corners with this chassis, either. The back of the front frame rail was removed and .120-inchwall 2×3-inch rectangular tubing was put inside the stock sheetmetal frame rails. The gussets were fabricated to tie the rear unibody frame rails into the subframe connectors. Now the car is solid, and since the subframe connectors tuck up against the floorpan, the ground clearance was not diminished. Further strength was added to the engine compartment with the addition of a TCP Tower Brace Kit.
The interior was completely restored to like-new condition with a few upgrades. Recaro seats were added to give Tate more lateral support when taking the corners. A 4-point custom roll bar and fire extinguisher were added for safety. A full complement of AutoMeter gauges were added so Tate could keep an eye on everything from the driver's seat. The electrical system was upgraded with a GM 1- wire alternator so the external regulator could be removed from the engine compartment and the typical visible wiring under the hood could be straightened up.
With the help of a great foundation and the hard work of the team at Campbell Auto Restoration, Tate's 1965 Mustang really performs. Now the Mustang can take any line with complete confidence, whether it has an apex or not. Some of the modifications are subtle, but overall, this car really stands out in a crowd.
Clean Title
Paperwork is one hidden gremlin to watch out for. If you are building a Restomod, you will be driving it on the street, so make sure the title is clear. If the title is not clear, you could spend an eternity at your local department of motor vehicles with little headway. Spending long hours and a lot of money on a car that can't be registered for driving on the street would be heartbreaking. Do a little research on the status of a car's title before you fork over your cash.
When I purchased my muscle car from a tow yard, I had big plans. It was a rolling shell. I started pursuing registration right away. When I went down to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), I learned the car had been purchased by seven different parties within a 6-year period. I spent months tracking the previous owners and had many unhappy visits to the DMV. Every time I went to the DMV, I got a different story about what I needed to do. Every teller had their own interpretation of the registration process. After a few visits, I made sure to request the same teller (the one that gave me the path of least resistance). I had to attempt to contact all the previous owners to make sure they wouldn't contest my purchase of the car. I had to send registered letters to each party asking permission to register the car in my name. One of the seven parties was living at the address on the paperwork. The fastest way to get the paperwork straightened out was to come to an agreement that he would refuse my registered letter as if he did not live there. Once I had all the returned registered letters, I went back to DMV. Now I was able to transfer the ownership to my name. Since my car wasn't running, I had to register it as Non-Operational. The process was time-consuming and frustrating. If you're not an easy-going person, don't try this at home. Once the car was registered in my name, I started laboring on it. The last thing I wanted was to find out the car could not be registered, and have done all that hard work for nothing.
Vehicle Condition
You might think purchasing a rusted hulk of a body would make a good start for a Restomod project, since you won't be ripping up a good car. Some think purchasing a completely restored car with the intent of turning it into a Restomod would be a mistake or downright wrong. Of course I'm not saying to go out and buy an original Shelby GT350 and Restomod it, I'm just saying if you found a restored, bone-stock '65 fastback with a 289, you might have a great candidate for a Restomod. If you spend more money in the beginning for a straight body, you might save time and money in the long run. Body and paint is typically the most expensive parts are of building any hot rod. Restomods are no exception, so buying a car that does not need two new quarter panels and a floorpan is a good investment. You can find rust almost anywhere under a vinyl top, especially at the base of the rear window.
Sometimes sellers are pretty good about making a badly damaged car look very good. A friend once bought a car with the entire trunk area attached with two-by-fours, drywall screws, and a ton of body filler. If she had known to look at the inside of the quarter panels from inside the trunk, she would have seen the horrible work. The trunk section fell off when she was in an accident. The moral of this story is: Check the inside of the body panels. Use a flashlight if necessary. Ask the seller if he or she would mind you taking the car to a shop and putting it up on a lift for further inspection before you purchase it. Check the bottom seam of the quarter panel from behind the rear tire to the tail panel. Check the bottom seam of the tail panel. These areas are often overlooked when a panel is replaced or when rust is repaired. Floor-panel replacement is hard to detect without putting the car up on a rack. Some body shops don't spend a lot of time making floor panels look perfect, since most people won't see them from underneath. Sometimes they leave the old rusty floorpan in place and put the panel right over the top. This allows rust to multiply fast, since moisture gets between panels.
If you're buying a 30-year-old car from just about any state, you should inspect the car for rust damage. Even some California-coast cars have excessive rust from damp coastal weather. When it comes to the structure of cars, there are many problem areas.
Getting Information
Information comes in many forms. It can be technical data. It can be a picture. It can also be advice. There are quite a few sources to find this information. Books, people, and hands-on experience are a few options. There are many other places to get ideas and reference material. Keep your eyes peeled and your mind open.
Books and Magazines There are many "How-To" books on the market. They have proven to be a good source of information and reference. I wouldn't have been able to write this book if it weren't for all the information I picked up in books over the years. In most cases, information written in books has been checked and is correct. But as with anything in life, it is a good idea to double (and triple) check information before starting any project.
Performance automotive magazines are also a good place to pick up new ideas. Some magazines try to keep up on the latest trends, while some try to keep more low-buck with cheap ways to modify your car. Cheap is good, but a line needs to be drawn somewhere. An engine rebuilt with 15 dollars and some duct tape will not last you very long. Most hot-rod magazines try to be leading edge, by printing info about current products. Some products aren't even available at the time of print. You may see a new dashboard set-up you think would look good in your car, or you might get to read about the addition of a modern Detroit powerplant between the fenders of a '66 Mustang. Either way, there are many tips, tricks, and modifications waiting to be soaked up on the newsstands.
Manufacturers' technical staff, speed shop personnel, friends, family, and other people can be great places to get information. Be careful. Get a second or third opinion before starting a project or buying a part.
Obviously, the manufacturer's technical personnel are the most qualified to give you information on what you need for your application or how to install a part they sell. They know the limitations of their products better than anyone. Be aware that you have to ask them the correct questions to get the correct answers. Some tech personnel want to sell you their parts and might not supply all the information you want. This depends on the company. If you're going to buy a transmission for your Restomod, you need to tell the company you have a 600- hp big-block and spend most of your time on the road course. Before you buy parts, make sure you let them know exactly how and where you plan to drive your car.
Checking with a competing manufacturer is also a good idea. It will give you an idea about what's available and what may work best for you. Do your research before buying parts. Impulse buying doesn't usually pay off.
Speed shops typically have at least one knowledgeable person who can offer great technical advice. Some speed shops are fully staffed with knowledgeable personnel. They can tell you which parts might be best for your application based on good and bad experiences they, and their customers, have had.
Friends and family members can be a good source of information, if they know what they're talking about. You will need to make your own decisions on which friends you use as a resource of information. For instance, when I was 18, I had a friend named Chris Fogarty. He had already graduated from a technical school. He constantly distributed qualified advice that proved to be correct. I knew the advice from my goofball 16-year-old friend was not always correct. Even advice from my dad was not as qualified or as good as the advice from Chris. Deciding who to take advice from can be important to your car and even your life.
The Internet is a great source of information. It can also be a great source of bad information. Getting information from the Internet is much like getting information from your friends. Some websites have message boards and chat rooms. Be careful; a small percentage of people and websites post bad or erroneous information. On the other hand, most websites offer great information and reference material.
Corral.net, Pro-Touring.com, Stangnet.com, and Fordmuscle.com are a few websites in particular that are well put together. The message boards are filled with good information about every aspect of building and driving Restomods and Pro-Touring cars. Knowledgeable people frequent these sites to dispense good information about build-ups. Some of the people have finished a project that you may be starting. They might be able to offer advice on what works and what does not work.
Most of these websites also have good reference material. They have message boards with builders trading advice and experiences. The owners of the cars posted on these websites are friendly and willing to share technical information on how their cars were built, or tips on how to get better performance out of your next upgrade. I have been to a few websites that have some pretty brutal message boards. If you post a question that has been asked before, you'll get some pretty nasty responses. It takes a lot to warm up to that crowd. Not all forums are the same.
The Internet is useful in other ways too. I needed to do a little research on the Internet for some pictures of full-frame cars. I wanted to see how the front suspensions were assembled without going out to the wrecking yard. You would think there are not very many pictures on the Internet of full-frame cars without their body shells on them. I went to Google.com, and instead of typing fullframe chassis in the search line, I clicked the little words Images above the search box. That takes you to the Google Images section of the search engine. This is very helpful. I picked a full-frame car and typed in Cyclone chassis. That didn't find much, so I tried Galaxie frame, and that gave me a bare Galaxie chassis for the first picture. I decided to find what a '66 Mustang steering box looked like out of the car. I tried Google and didn't have much success, so I went to EBay.com and typed in '65 Mustang steering box. It had some detailed photos of a steering box a guy had for sale. The photos gave me a chance to compare it to the steering box in my friend's Mustang. This works for finding a set of headers that might fit your car. You can search for headers for a 460-powered '66 Mustang. There are images of the clearance between the shock tower and the headers. That way, you can find parts other people have used with success. Doing some investigating can save you heartache and prevent your wallet from getting too empty.
New Car Dealers
Just like the wrecking yard, you can get new ideas on how to install parts and the latest technology by paying attention to the new car models. Maybe you will see a new cup holder or a third brake light that would be perfect for your car. Look under the hood of a new car. You will notice the trend of dress-up covers that hide necessary wires and hoses. Automotive manufacturers have found better ideas for wiring new vehicles. If you take a good look at wiring bulkheads and fuse boxes, you'll notice better components than those used on a technologically challenged 1960s Ford wiring system. Check out the fit and finish of the interior and external panels. Manufacturers have advanced in this area in the last 15 years. Spending a little more time and paying attention to the fit and finish of your Restomod project makes a big difference.

Allie, I'm so sorry that your mom continues to deteriorate. It does sound as though she needs to be in a nursing home. If she sends the help away, then there is no sense in trying to set up home care. Over here in the States, Medicaid will pay for a nursing home if there is no other insurance. I don't know what the situation is in Scotland. Will she listen to her partner if he tells her that she needs to go to a NH, but that he and you will visit regularly, etc.? Perhaps he could tell her that it is just until she is better. Having worked for doctors over here, I know that they will usually have a person go to the ER and then do a direct admit to a NH from the ER. You need to have a doctor working with you on this. You cannot be expected to know it all or do it all. Does she have a general physician or family doctor? If so, this would be the one to contact to start with.
It's rather difficult to be specific since you are in another country. Do they have Hospice over there? If you cannot get her into a NH, perhaps you could call Hospice or the Scottish equivalent of that.
Allie, see if you can talk to the doctor about having your mom transferred to a NH once they get her medically stable at the hospital. This would be the best thing for her.
