love it........

Looks like Mazda is having a good design team, Current Mazda 6 features in there - head lights- but tail light is more cooler with LEDs.

ah..Talking about girls. really not many nice chicks were there. The gathering for bikers, totally different people, sort of long hair/ tattooed / leather that kind of thing. Some members from "Hells Angels" and "chopper" clubs were there (well known biker gangs). Not seen any other asians apart from my friend. It was a good laugh and nice experience. Only seen one cop car and two officers.. wonder why... (do not think cops can keep it up with those crazy bikes ) This is Triump Rocket III, 2300 CC name say it all. due to the image size i can only upload 2 images at a time..

Hi Guys, A week ago went down to a biker gathering at Cassington (Oxforshire, UK). This was a charity event organized by the village school. There were some amazing machines from good old days to modern Harley’s, Triumph’s, some honda's with NOS and chromies. Had a chance to ride my mate’s Fireblade which is lighting quick!! Thought I’d share some pics with you guys, for all the bike lovers!. not have much time as at work now but will post some more later...

I have started building an Electric car about a year ago. Had a L reg (year 1994) micra from a friend as a donor car (he meant to scrap the car for metal anyway). Some tips it might help - structure modification for batteries. - if it is hybrid – think about drive link -motors are bl**dy expensive, I am not sure about the price in SL, but the ones I have looked are costly. Price of a battery?, if you are having a normal car battery that might be cheaper but have a look at the limitations, and the add on weight. If it is pure electric then that is fine as there is no engine!! After struggled in a big time.. GENTLEMEN I GAVE UP , Yes I scrap the car, sold the engine and gearbox for spares.. I think it is better if you have a garage so most of the work can be done by mechanics and you can provide the design.

thanks machan, not seen that earlier.

BMW’s Lightweight Cloth Car From different web sites.. was looking for more details but not much available. have a look guys German giants BMW unveiled the GINA Light Visionary Model, a highly anticipated concept set to transform the boundaries of traditional car design. ‘GINA’, an acronym for “Geometry and Functions In ‘N’ Adaptations”, has a seamless outer skin made entirely from a textile fabric (polyurethane-coated Lycra) pulled taut around a moveable frame of metal and carbon fiber wires. This lightweight design requires far less energy to produce than traditional BMW models and the overall car weight is significantly reduced, making it far more fuel-efficient. When a shape-shifting concept car made of neoprene turns up, you can be near-certain that flame-surfaced BMW design fuhrer Chris Bangle won't be far away. At least, we think it's neoprene. Some sort of stretchable textile fabric, anyhow. And it's not exactly a concept in the conventional sense, but... hang on, let's start at the beginning. This is the BMW Gina. Ostensibly a two-seater roadster, it's actually more of a philosophical statement that has informed BMW's current production line-up and will influence future vehicles. Or something. Built on the short-lived Z8 Roadster platform, the Gina consists of a flexible 'skin' stretched over a metal wire structure enforced with carbon fibre. It allows the driver to change the shape of the car 'on the fly' - the rear spoiler can be raised, for example, while the rocker panels can effectively be bodykitted out. It's a similar story on the inside, where the steering wheel and instrumentation sit within the centre console and slide into position when the driver pushes the start button. Bangle says that, in a decade's time or so, such flexibility could reach production vehicles, allowing buyers to create their car around their own requirement. Nice idea, but you really wouldn't want it to get keyed, would you? However, there's no suggestion that the Gina will lead directly to a production car in the short term. Instead, Bangle says that its principles have influenced the infamous 'flame-surfaced' styling of BMW's current crop... and will continue to do so. Expect to see unusual-looking Beemers for a few years to come, then. Watch the BMW Gina video on YouTube cool huh

Good to see NSX back, not really a WOW car, maybe it is due to the details not outlined yet.. Rear from Porsche (with a deploying spoiler) ? yea looks a bit like that.. wonder what will be the price tag??? 550BHP with AWD will be a good one looks like GTR have to watch the step!

Thanks for the info.. Wonder what BHP , and Torque this will fit in to. Prius sedan is good to drive around town but crap when it need more power / torque. Toyota needs to develop much better engine for this 4x4 as it needed, but how will they keep the green concept?

Super Cool.. Thanks for the pics..

There is a car museum at Keswick (Lake district), visited there about 2 years back. They have Knight ridder KITT, Batmobiles (old open top and one before the last film),DB5 from James bond, A-TEAM van, Magnum's Ferrari , Flinstone's car, two cars from Need for speed and much more. Ba**d not allowed us to take any pictures (I know what i do next time take camcorder switch on and hide in a bag!!) but visit was good. Anybody travel to Lake district pay a visit.. ( and take my advice record it please.. as it will be a good clip for our petrolheads)

Porsche Cayenne was not that cool, I do not see a big difference. Maybe they will come up with better value for money with diesel or more Greener version (Future is GREEN.. ), I know that Landrover have offset carbon emmisions of their new vehicles upto 40,000 miles. Jaguar is on the same track... (Porsche have placed a court case against congestion charge increament for bigger engine cars recently!! - not so green supportive!)
