It does what it says on the bin!

The Richbrook Car Bin is an in-car essential for any motorist! The perfect solution for busy parents, drivers, families and anyone who spends their days behind the wheel. Simply pop it open, drop in the rubbish and then snap it closed! The bin holds a whopping 6 litres of rubbish and uses a roll of 30 ingenious biodegradable liners for convenience on the move.

The stylish looking bin is made from high-quality nylon and uses a simple clasp and Velcro pad to allow it to fit in a variety of places. On the back of a seat, in the footwell, or on the door card. No more apple-cores accumulating in the Aston. No more pop-cans precipitating in the Porsche. And no more crisp-packets cluttering up your Chrysler. Powerful magnets keep the top securely fastened to allow even high-speed merchants to keep their interior ship shape, no matter what’s inside.

The liners supplied with the Car Bin are clever. Very clever. Not only does the next one pop up as you dispose of the rubbish, but each one is made of Oxo-Biodegradable Plastic (OBD), meaning that once exposed to the environment it will harmlessly break down in a matter of months, rather than hundreds of years. Lovely! So your conscience will stay as clean as your interior…

Priced at £10.95, the Richbrook car Bin looks to be the saviour of dirty interiors, in-car diners, messy kids – and to a very small degree, the planet. Refill rolls of 30 biodegradable liners are available for just £3.95

Santa Pod’s Powerfest. Putting The ‘Rush’ In Rushden!

If you’re a motorsport fan – or just want to see something a little out of the ordinary, make sure that you make your way to Rushden town centre at 2pm on the 22nd of May – for the Rushden Powerfest!

This unique celebration of outrageous machinery parades through the town centre in order to promote the FIA Main Event which takes place at Santa Pod Raceway between the 28th and 31st of May. It’s a high-octane mix of powerful cars, motorbikes and dragsters pounding the tarmac in an unadulterated celebration of all things fast and loud!

David Lloyd Jones, Santa Pod’s General Manager commented ‘This is our little way of saying thanks to the local community and giving everybody the chance to see the simply incredible machines that race at Santa Pod Raceway. Last year’s Parade of Power event in Wellingborough was a great success as a real family event, so we thought it would be fun to hold something similar in Rushden. This year, being the events first, we’re hoping for good weather and to draw a good crowd so that we can do it again in future. It’s one not to miss!’

The event will feature dragsters, motorbikes and other machines parading through Rushden town centre. The route will be around the one way system in town from Duck Street, to Rectory Road, down Skinners Hill and back around again, avoiding all speed bumps. Any car enthusiasts with an unusual or interesting car are invited to send their details and car images to james@santapod.com in order to take part.

Martin Hill’s Fireforce 3 Jet Car will be making a special guest appearance in the static display along with Santa Pod Raceways own Top Fuel Dragster and Merchandising trailer.

Before and after the display, you will be able to find a selection of these monstrous machines on display in the High Street as a section of this will be closed off for the duration of the day.

Drivers will start their engines at 2pm, so make sure you get into town early to get a spot right near the front. Some of these cars have literally 1,000’s of horsepower, so you do not want to miss the action!

Between the hours of 1.30pm and 3.30pm the following rounds will be closed:

Rectory Road

Duck Street

High Street from Newton Road Junction to Station Road Junction

Newton Road from Rectory Road Junction to High Street South/Skinners Hill Junction
