Best Parrallel Parking Ever

Published by The Stig on December 12th, 2011 - in News

I know it has been a while but I saw this video and I had to post it.

Where i used live the we a few issues with parking but nothing to the point where you had to take up the art of rubbing to get into a car parking space.

I mean the owners that were getting there cars rubbed if they had seen this would not be best pleased but still was effective and was able to prevent any damage to any cars around him.

Overall good skills in my eyes

Jaime Alguersuari’s Toro Rosso in Slow Motion

Published by The Stig on August 20th, 2011 - in News

In this years coverage of Formula 1 we have seen a number of different car angles ad slowed down views from BBC. This however beats the views that we have seen.

This looks fantastic and just shows what modern technology can do both from machine and video.

London Riots I Mean UK Riots

Published by The Stig on August 9th, 2011 - in News

As we are approaching the fourth night of looting in what has very quickly become the UK. I wonder what will come from this apart from damage and destruction to personal possessions and property. I mean all these images of burnt out cars that are strung through the news. Makes you think, well makes me think.

How expensive is my car insurance going to be next year?

People like myself who work hard for my pennies, are told that the cost of living is going up to save the economy. It makes it hard for us to either live a little more comfortably or afford to live at all.

However, We will all mutter under breathes about how we disagree with it all but see why it is being done and how deep down we actually agree with what the government are doing. Because in the long run it means we will have a more stable future. I mean this is stuff that we will only mutter and never say out load as you don’t want the government to know that they are doing things right.

But my god the stuff that we have seen on the TV is awful. I don’t mean that in a it will be ok in the end way either. Because it won’t. There are livelihoods that are getting destroyed and they will claim on insurances which will increase premiums overall.

Also these businesses might not even re open in this country. Sony is the prime example, they run that much of a tight ship all the time that the property and premises damaged in these riots could make Sony withdraw operations in the uk all together. So, unemployment will go up.

In the end if you have a car it is probably burnt out somewhere and if it is not burnt out, you will probably not be able to afford it because your place of work is burnt down or your car insurance company has added a trailing zero at the end of your bill over night.

The distance between the lower and middle classes has been increased even further. Whatever the aim is has backfired badly.

However the shining light is that the community is pulling together. Clean up crews organised by local residents not government, people helping police reclaims the streets. Britain isn’t broken its just a select few trying to cause anarchy.

P.S. Rant Over!

Well this is the new motor that Ronaldo has decided to buy for himself.

Ronaldos new car

Reports say that this blackout Ferrari that looks increadbly like the Bat Mobile cost @350,000. Probs only tooks Ronaldo about 2 weeks to save the cash needed to buy a second hand car previously used by the capped crusader.

I would love to of seen the ad for that;

 

Near new Batmobile for sale

1 careful owner

used as an occasional get around vehicle in the streets of Gotham City. Previously been in a few scrapes and bumps however these were all T-Cut out just after incidents. Car fully valeted as previous owner used to transport the occasional bat or two.

Also there are a number of buttons around the dashboard, it is advised that the new owner does not try to press these buttons.

 

I wonder who will be the first person to actually buy the Batmobie that is in the latest series of Batman.

Mercedes A-Class Concept Fail

Published by The Stig on April 20th, 2011 - in News

I know that a concept car is produced more for show than for reliability, however when it comes to a motor show it should work even if it is just to go 10 feet on to the standard.

Merc Benz Concept A Class

Merc Benz Concept A Class

Well in the Shanghai Motor Show this new breed concept fell at the first hurdle, dong to the drive from behind the curtain the show.

This 200 horsepower of beauty was unable to move so the four executives that were there to stand by the car ended up pushing the car into the show. I know that this is not the best start however this is a thing of beauty isn’t it. If this passed me on the road I think I would end up crashing as I would be too busy drooling over it.

Possibilities later down the line are that AMG will get there hands on it to release a 350+ horsepower version. I am not going to lie to you that this was not the best start but the cars style and information provided makes up for it.
