			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Over the years, <a title="modified cars " href="http://www.maxxd.com" target="_blank">modified cars</a> have become more and more popular and the UK has seen a massive change in styles and automotive fashions.</p>
<p><a title="car styling" href="http://www.maxxdirectory.co.uk" target="_blank">Car styling</a> has been around for years and was probably as its strongest point about 6 years ago when a high majority of car enthusiasts were into fibreglass bodykits, loud exhausts and bass systems that would rupture your stomach.</p>
<p>We have been working very closely with the scene over the past few years and have seen some dramatic changes and most recently some major players go bang. This is mainly due to the current state of the British economy and the fact that not as many people nowadays can afford to spend money on their cars.</p>
<p>The launch of the In Car Sat Nav system took the Country by storm and hundreds of companies reaped the profits of everyone wanting a Sat Nav stuck to their windscreen. Unfortunately, this was to be a short term fix for in car entertainment specialists when Halfords took hold of the market by buying units in bulk, cutting prices to a stupid level thus creating a knock on effect through out the whole industry.</p>
<p>Since the launch of the <a title="fast and furious" href="http://www.fastandfurious4.co.uk" target="_blank">Fast and Furious</a> films alot of enthusiasts turned their heads to the Japanese market and we saw the streets flooded with Civics, Skylines &amp; the famous Nissan 200sx. These are still popular cars and many are now taking up <a title="drifting" href="http://www.maxxdrift.com" target="_blank">drifting</a> and drag racing at places such as Santa Pod. One thing you will not see as much now is a fully kitted car covered in fibreglass and bling rims. Its declining due to money and an increase in the performance side.</p>
<p>The industry has definately taken some serious knocks and we are always wondering to ourselves if it will ever pick up again ???</p>
<p>Will a new fashion take over and get people spending again or is this it?</p>
<p>What else is going to happen to the industry, whats next ?</p>
<p>Only time will tell&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;..</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Me and my business partner got into the automotive marketing world, because we are pure petrolheads. We love cars, engines and tire smoke, and we don&#8217;t know much about how cars work, so we decided we needed to contribute to the scene in some way!</p>
<p>We both came from an automotive background as we both loved anything with an engine and got motorbikes as soon as we were old enough, which then moved swiftly onto cars as we were sick of getting wet!</p>
<p>We both got small cheap first cars, and we started modifying them straight away. Dave had a fiesta with a Peco big bore exhaust, and i had a nissan micra with more speakers in than you could shake a stick at!</p>
<p>Soon enough we got the BUG and ditched those cars in favour of some shiny un-modified VW&#8217;s, and the MAXXD process began!</p>
<p>We both got <a title="Alloy Wheels" href="http://www.wheelworx.net" target="_blank">alloy wheels</a> for them, dave went for some lenso <a title="Alloy Wheels" href="http://www.wheelworx.net" target="_blank">alloy wheels</a>, and i went for some 18&#8243; chrome wheels &#8211; bling bling baby! Many other mods followed, such as <a title="Performance exhausts" href="http://www.maxxdirectory.co.uk/Category/engine/performance-aftermarket-exhausts/" target="_blank">performance exhausts</a> and <a title="In Car Entertainment" href="http://www.maxxdirectory.co.uk/Category/in-car-entertainment-ice-sound-systems-security/" target="_blank">in car entertainment </a>- until they looked like this!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://www.olstar.co.uk/v90/d/26745-1/newPICT0007.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="300" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">My Gorgeous MK3 golf! Oh a loved that car!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://www.realdave.co.uk/gallery/d/4120-1/Polo_Village_Last_Shots+_4_.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="300" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Daves awesome polo, and you cant deny it DOES look awesome!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Sadly, we have both moved on from this, but are still big fans and loyal members of the modified car world, and we will continue to provide <a title="Automotive Marketing" href="http://www.maxxd.co.uk" target="_blank">automotive marketing</a> and <a title="Automotive Design" href="http://www.maxxd.co.uk">automotive design</a> services to the scene until we are old and grey <img src='http://www.maxxd.biz/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, what can I say, the show seasons come round yet again and we have a fantastic line of shows coming up over the next few months.</p>
<p>The car club attended the Fast Show a few weeks ago at Santa Pod, despite it being cold the turnout was brilliant. Donny Show is in a couple of weeks and is looking good. Rumour has it that Live Events have requested more space for clubs as its been packed out. We have a large stand with about 25 cars on show. This time last year we had the very first edition of the Maxxd magazine being printed, and all of us were running around like headless chickens.</p>
<p>The past fortnight has been crazy, I have done nothing but make phone calls and spread the word about the magazine and directory across networking sites such as myspace and facebook.  MySpace is a good site for networking with car owners and clubs as many use it for their cars unlike facebook thats used more for the actual person.</p>
<p>Our two myspace pages are:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.myspace.com/maxxdmagazine" target="_blank">http://www.myspace.com/maxxdmagazine</a>  &amp;  <a href="http://www.myspace.com/maxxdirectory" target="_blank">http://www.myspace.com/maxxdirectory</a></p>
<p>Olly has recently updated a few of our websites and also built a new one for the car owners that love to upload and watch videos online.  <a href="Maxxd.TV" title="modified car videos" target="_blank">Maxxd.TV</a> was launched a few days ago and we are now in the process of marketing the site and getting users onboard. Similar to youTube but purely for car related videos we are hoping this will become a success and eventually attract people from all over the world.  We will be hosting other peoples videos as well as shooting at some of the popular car shows up and down the UK getting footage for the site.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.maxxd.co.uk" title="maxxd marketing" target="_blank">Maxxd.co.uk</a> &#8211; the main website for Maxxd Marketing Solutions has also been redesigned and expanded to expose our services in a better light.  This is one of many designs but one of the best and we are now sticking with this site until further notice as it does more than serve its purpose.</p>
