My friend and I recently decided to travel from Birmingham to Manchester and, as we are short of money at the moment, we were keen to find the cheapest travel option we could. We were going for a big night out with people we had been to university with and we hadn`t seen them for three years so we wanted to make sure we saved as much money as we could for a night of revelry. Therefore, we thought long and hard about our options. Obviously the train would be the quickest route but we knew that would be expensive. Eventually we decided on Coaches Birmingham as our travel option and thought that this would be a really good way to save money. Coaches Birmingham could take us from Birmingham to Manchester for a really reasonable amount of money. We knew that the journey would be much longer than the train but all in all, Coaches Birmingham did us proud. The coach journey was much longer than the train but it was comfortable and the scenery was nice. We just read our books all the way there and arrived before we knew it. We were so glad that we had saved the money and had the most fantastic night with our friends in Manchester.

If you have a standard model car such as a Vauxhall Astra have you ever desired to make it stand out from the crowd a little? Personalising your car can be a very rewarding pastime that allows you to get the design of car that you always wanted. Car customisation doesn`t cost as much as you would think as well, with things such as replacement light units or even a full astra body kit available at very competitive prices. Adding an astra body kit will give you a stunning car that is barely recognisable as an astra. Most parts of the car can be reshaped such as front and rear bumpers, side skirts and even the rear spoiler. Any astra body kit can be sanded down and easily sprayed any colour to match the chosen colour scheme of the car. Body kits are made with high quality fibre glass and designed to be easily attached to an original model car. Many garages or amateurs will be only to happy to assist with fitting a body kit and when it is fitted you`ll feel like you have purchased a brand new car.
