How Multifunctional Toys support Creativity, Learning & Problem-Solving? @Mattel @Hot_Wheels

Hi Guys, 

The educational value of toys is easily overlooked because playing, as a developmental activity, is not supported by traditional educational models, but it’s been proven that multifunctional toys stimulate a child’s development and brain function more than you know.

Music, art and playing are great educational tools, just like reading and writing. At a young age, children don’t only learn, they use all their senses to quickly develop subconscious perceptions of the world, and hands-on play encourages understanding of the world around them as well as imaginative play.

Engaging with the bright colours of the tracks when playing and stunting with Hot Wheels reinforces learning as children engage and create new experiences with the dynamic system of play which stimulates their emotional and imaginative development in a completely different way than books do.

Toys and sets with interchangeable parts give children the freedom to play without rules and explore their individual interests, placing them in a mental space where they can share their feeling and thoughts through play because they feel comfortable enough to create what they want to. Apart from just stimulating creativity, which traditional approaches don’t cultivate, this kind of engagement also has an effect on other issues like self-esteem and confidence building.

Children need to be encouraged to think and create independently, and not be confined to colouring inside the lines. This also helps them appreciate different points of view, rather than shy away from it, as well as stimulates their problem-solving abilities.

Parents who don’t know where to start are encouraged to get The Hot Wheels Speed Drop Hauler, which redefines Hot Wheels storage and racing in one very cool semi-truck that’s full of surprises. Small display windows on the trailer showcase the more than 20 Hot Wheels cars it can carry, and when kids pull the back latch, this 3-in-1 toy unfolds into a six-foot-long racetrack!

The multi-functioning vehicle comes with three 1:64 scale Hot Wheels vehicles and can hold 20 more. It provides endless fun for kids 4 to 8 years old. Colours and decorations may vary, but the Hot Wheels Speedway Hauler is the ultimate all-in-one Hot Wheels package with so many features and so many ways to play, and is compatible with the entire Hot Wheels System of play, allowing for hours of imaginative and creative play.

Hi Friends, 

In continuation and separating the two cars under the same Tata Group who bought Jaguar and Land Rover from Ford in June 2008. You won't believe it's an Indian car or owned by an Indian company TATA. 

Coming back to these ultra-luxurious vehicles fitted with the technology to make your heart fall in love and to keep your family safe and comfortable. Range Rover, Land Rover, and Discovery are the three range of products in their arsenal. 

Life is all about experiencing different things whatever it may be travel, cars, food or introspection. I can surely tell you that these cars will make you want them immediately. 

The automatic controls keep checking the brakes when you are coming downhill to control the speed by itself or you can do it yourself manually. And it does so without any kind of skidding as it gives preferential power to any of the tires as required. 

The vehicles range from R700k upwards and come in both Petrol and Diesel versions and the best part is that you can customize your own vehicle. 

It can easily tilt up to 45 degrees before being getting turtled and the infotainment screen shows at what angle you are currently driving your car.  

Turns and curves are part of the game at the experience center and there comes a point where the car tilts from one part to another and running on 3 tires only. But the control is so smooth that even who is not advanced driver will be able to do it with the artificial intelligence built into the car. 

Finally, the car can easily cross any stream or river without getting stuck but I do assume there must be some limitations to the same. But you can go and watch the process at the Jaguar Landrover Experience Centre in Lonehill any day. Go check it out and take a lot of photos as a 90-minute experience can be booked with the experience center at around R1300 at 1 Capricorn Drive, Lonehill, Sandton from Monday to Sunday - 8am to 5pm. Call them at 010 023 0462

Finally, the sun is never going to set on Land Rover as it's the luxury you can have in your life and will give you the freedom to be yourself. I wish the same for myself and I do dream to own one in my lifetime. 

Namaste!!!

Hi Friends,

I am always interested in participating in Instagram meets and when Explore ZA Johannesburg who actively organizes Instameets every alternate month and also Day Workshops in Photography and videography. I asked my family and friends to visit as it will be my first time at JLR Experience in Lonehill, Johannesburg, South Africa. 

I never thought about performance cars as they are always beyond my budget and I have no need for speed. I always want to drive the car which I can buy and that's my idea of a test drive.

At first sight, you feel the beauty of these cars and when you hear the sound of their guzzle it really makes you stand in awe. I didn't enter the queue to drive these cars on the skid pan or on the drifting spin but took these photos. 

The Jaguar is a beautiful sports car the way it handles and it's in the same category as Ford Mustang and other high-performance cars. 

The feature on these cars can handle the fast speed, brakes and the overall security it provides in case it goes out of control is amazing. ABS switched On brings the car back on track within milliseconds.  

JLR experience is something that took away my thinking of driving only those cars which I can afford but also to experience vehicles that are out of my reach to remember the drivability. It has made me more open and acceptable to other vehicles. 

Go check it out and take a lot of photos as a 90-minute experience can be booked with the experience centre at around R1300 at 1 Capricorn Drive, Lonehill, Sandton from Monday to Sunday - 8am to 5pm. Call them at 010 023 0462 or email jaguarbookings@experience.jaguar.co.za

Namaste!!!

In the Market for A New Car? Tips to Ensure You Don’t Buy a Box of Troubles #ImperialAuto

Hi Friends, 

Once you have made the decision to buy a car, it is tempting to want to get it NOW! The fact, however, is that buying a car is a big purchase and it is advisable to contain your excitement. It is also a good idea to do some research and tick some boxes in order to eliminate the chances of buying yourself a box of troubles. According to an article on Forbes.com, the number one mistake made when purchasing a vehicle is not doing your homework![1]

Do that homework

Start off by knowing the market value of the car you like before you consider buying. Knowing the market value, for both new and second-hand options, will allow you to tell whether the seller is overcharging or not. It’s also a great idea to look at reviews of the car you prefer to see what drivers are saying about it. It’s also a good idea to get an idea of the upkeep and maintenance costs too. It is best to go into the sale equipped with all the knowledge available to you.

What questions should you ask the seller?

It’s really important that you ask direct questions about the car. Some private sellers may think that they can sucker you into buying a problem car.

The questions you should ask include:

• How old is the car?
• How many previous owners have there been?
• How many kilometers has the car done?
• Does it have a full-service history?
• Has the car been in any accidents? 
• Does the car have an existing warranty or maintenance plan? 

You will need to ensure that you receive honest answers to these questions, so it is a good idea to take someone experienced with you.

Perform an inspection and test drive

Dealerships, who are part of the Imperial Auto group allow customers to perform inspections, but with a private seller, this might be difficult to arrange. If you are able to arrange an inspection of the car with the seller, then you will need to inspect it both internally and externally for any damages or irregularities. 

During your test drive, you will need to listen out for any strange noises coming from the engine. You will also need to feel the suspension and note how the steering and brakes feel on both town roads and on the highway.

Taking a car for a test drive at a dealer, as an Imperial Auto dealer is really easy to arrange. Just don’t forget to take your valid driver’s license with.

Inspect the paperwork

Even if the car looks great, drives well and the price is right, the next vital step in the buying process is to inspect the paperwork. Ask to see the ownership documents and any service documents, and the car logbook. The benefit of buying your car through a reputable dealer is that they make sure all of that is done for you.

Car Dealer App Launch to Help Dealers Sell More Cars @PriceCheck_SA #SouthAfrica

Hi Guys, 

Gone are the days of trawling through pages and pages of car listings to find your ideal car, only to contact the dealer and not get a response. The launch of a ground-breaking, new, dealer-facing app is changing the way dealers and buyers communicate.

Africa’s largest product discovery and comparison service, PriceCheck, has launched the app to complement its recently added offering, PriceCheck Cars (launched in March 2017).

Kevin Tucker, founder of PriceCheck, says, “The launch of the Car Dealer app is a game-changer for both prospective buyers as well as salespeople and dealerships. The first of its kind in South Africa, the app links buyers directly to the seller of the vehicle they are interested in. Buyers are able to search through a list of vehicles which fit their requirements and contact the seller by in-app message or the in-app calling feature.”

“For dealers, this customer-centric app reduces the likelihood of losing leads via complex ‘broken-telephone-type’ communication processes, allowing them to track and manage their leads efficiently and improve their overall customer experience and satisfaction levels,” he explains.

The app also enhances several innovative features that are inherent across the PriceCheck Cars platform, including:

An inventory management tool to manage listings on PriceCheck cars. If a car is sold it can be removed in the app and it will automatically be removed from the PriceCheck Cars platform – resulting in fewer wasted leads.

An in-app photography wizard to guide the dealer through car photography. All photographs taken in the app will be linked directly to the PriceCheck Cars platform.

A rich leads inbox to showcase all incoming leads from PriceCheck Cars, including messages and phone calls. Each lead has detailed information about the particular vehicle the buyer is interested in.

A mini-CRM for taking notes on customer interactions.

Tucker says, “The use of smart phones and mobile applications has enabled us to bring cutting-edge tech to a mature market. Buying and selling cars is going to get much easier!”

The app is now available for both Android and Apple users.

With the launch of PriceCheck Cars, along with the new app, PriceCheck Cars has been dubbed by its users as the best platform to find new and used cars, bakkies, motorcycles and commercial vehicles online.

Now, the brand is looking for the perfect name to summarise the new vehicle platform offering, and who better to decide on the name than those who actually use the platform?

Members of the public can enter their suggestions on the PriceCheck website until the 31st of August. “The person whose suggestion gets the most votes in Mission Ignition competition stands a chance to win an amazing prize - a brand new car. Each participant can only enter once, so be sure to put your best suggestion forward and by doing so, you stand a chance of winning a car too, even if your suggestion is not selected,” Tucker concludes.

For more information on PriceCheck, please visit www.pricecheck.co.za.

 

Cheers!!!

Cash & Cars - Win When You Least Expect It @MonteCasinoZA

Hi Guys, 

TsogoSun's Montecasino is the premier entertainment destination for Johannesburg and it has something to keep people active with one or the other thing for everyone. Adults and kids love to visit the destination because of it's bubbling atmosphere and amazing food and frolic. You can spend a whole night playing in the casino or watch some amazing 3D movies on big sofa like seats. 

The very popular CASH & CARS slot machines at Montecasino recently received a world class make-over. In the past gamers stood the chance of winning a VW Polo – now they can win a Mercedes-Benz A200 and R10,000 in CASH with every car. 

They had a grand launch on 22nd July 2015 for public and special guests to enjoy the machines and start winning. I used my Montecasino Gold card to win myself R200 using one of the slot machine from R100 investment. The games are new and I really loved playing the same. 

The best part is that no winning combination is required. Winners are selected randomly and two cars will be given away every month. There is a limit of play in currency amount is attached on the whole concept of Cash and Cars and once it's reached, anyone who is playing on the machine will win the same. The Cash & Cars 5c machines can be found at all the casino entrances and are easily identified by the branding on the chairs. Now it boils down to your luck and intent to play the same. 

I am also looking forward to win my dream car and I hope the Universe will listen to my request. I will try my luck again before all the cars are driven away by the fortunate ones. 

Cheers!!!

Twitter Goodies - Honda Amaze

Hi Guys,

Before the lauch of their Diesel Car Amaze in Indian Markets,Honda Cars launched a contest on their twitter handle. They promised to give 25.78 Litres of diesel to all the 25 winners but after winning the same I got this UCB tshirt and this multi-purpose knife.

Sometimes companies changes the prizes while sending them which leads to a lot of broken expectations and anger. Though they sent the same amount of Prizes as UCB tee mrp at 1100/- rs and rs 100/-  for this knife but then also Diesel vouchers would have given me more satisfaction. Thanks a lot though as it's my first UCB tee.

Cheers!!!
