Allan McNish on being an Audi racing driver.
McNish is one of my favourite endurance drivers—-and a great driver. Le Mans is coming on June 11th!
the ugliest car in the world….
JUST GOT UGLIER!
my purpose for this post is a sinister one.
A) i want this photo to become the #1 google image result for the Toyota Prius
B) i want ‘prospective’ Toyota Prius buyers to come here, and understand that they look like idiots driving around in their ugly box of batteries and electronic wankery
C) i want these US buyers to consider buying a clean diesel VW Golf TDI or Jetta TDI—which get similar MPG performance—-and save the world the horror of seeing this ugly Prius monstrosity on our streets. Think of the children, people!!!
ipad app: Jaguar 75 Years.
the iPad has so many fantastic car-related applications—-another one I downloaded yesterday is for Jaguar—–celebrating 75 years of the big cat. Lots of amazing photos and history in this beautifully presented application. Available now from the iPad App store.
Here are just a couple screenshots taken with my IEDEI Pad:
iPad: motoring stuff.
My lovely wife bought me an iPad last weekend. It’s an amazing device—-beautiful to use and full of utility. I am currently in the process of comprehensively reviewing a monumental amount of scientific knowledge for an upcoming examination—-and the iPad is like a saint that has come to help me out. It is brilliant. That being said—-there are tons of e-magazines available for the iPad related to cars—and i downloaded a few of the ‘free’ apps namely by BMW, Mercedes, Audi, and Porsche. I have to say that each one is entertaining and beautifully put together, especially for free. Apparently they will supply new issues as they are made….very cool. Here are some screencaps I took with the iPad of these 4 apps. BTW, the Mercedes application is just amazing—-it goes through their entire automotive history with photos and 2 minute audio summaries. Very cool, again.

commercial(s) of the day. Strada & Brava (US).
“designed by computer modeling”!!!!! Fiat responded to the VW Golf/Rabbit with this monstrosity…
The Brava, on the other hand…looked alright, but had the integrity of a pair of flip flops. I love how the whole ad is filmed in a suburban neighbourhood somewhere in middle US soil! how tactical…..
foto (s) of the day. R18!
The Audi R18 TDI is simply stunning—-the most striking race car i’ve seen in many, many years. I will be proud to be supporting Audi during the next Le Mans! Here it is in its full Audi Sport livery. All 3 cars! 1, 2, and 3.
intro: 2012 VW Beetle.
I TOLD YOU all the blogs were wrong about the styling of the 2012 Beetle….funny how people argued that was how it was going to look….
It looks much better than I ever expected. I have never liked the Beetle—-never liked the original, never liked the ‘new’ Beetle of the late 90s. But they seem to have really thought this out well and have properly modernized an icon. I am sure it is going to sell like a free diamond.
