Design car on graffiti

The 23-year-old, who works as a technician for Royal Mail, said his love of graffiti prompted the look which he describes as "art on wheels".
He said: "Once I bought the car I had the hydraulics done so it can go up and down and side to side. The paint-work was looking a bit shabby, though. I decided I would try and get some local artists to cover it in graffiti."
Mr Dursley said he wanted to get as much from as many different artists as possible and in the end three came together to collaborate on the design.





He said: "I had half done last year and then a couple of months ago I wanted to get the rest done.
"I got in touch with Dan who did the angel on the back, I'd already seen an angel of his somewhere else so I knew I wanted that.
"Then I got two other artists, Sepr and 3rd Eye, to do the rest. It would have cost £1,000s to get the body work done but this is much better and not what anyone expects.
"I've always loved graffiti and this way the council can't scrub it out."

Action women and car

To test the theory that high-performance cars get people hot, Moxon had 40 men and women listen to recordings of the three Italian exotics and a Volkswagen Polo. Everyone had significantly more testosterone after hearing the exotics, and all of the women were turned on by the Maserati. The guys, on the other hand, were drawn to the Lamborghini.
"We saw significant peaks in the amount of testosterone in the body, particularly in women," Maxon says, noting that even women who said they had no interest in cars were turned on. "Testosterone is indicative of positive arousal in the human body so we can confidently conclude from the results out today that the roar of a luxury car engine actually does cause a primeval physiological response."

Wait a minute -- testosterone is what makes a person turned on?
So what if I buy a Ferrari to impress the chicks, but then end up in a steady relationship? Will she, you know, dude-ify? Because, as the saying goes: fool me once, shame on you, but you grow a penis and this relationship

Like The Sun, Saturday (9/8/2008), Ronaldo has ordered vehicles with certain specifications, the price is different from any other course. Reportedly, he ordered a car called the Rolls-Royce through a car dealer Liquid 45.

Ronaldo ordered the car with fully loaded phrase. That means the car is filled with an additional extra. This is deliberately done Ronaldo. The reason that the Portuguese winger wanted to feel a different experience to start a hard fight Premier League.

“He loves the cars he has. Now, he’ll buy something new to deal with the league beginning next season,” said the source close.

However, despite the exorbitant price, it’s not much for the Portugal-born player was. Price £ 340 thousand is less than a month salary. Practically, the car will be the most luxurious car in Manchester.

This luxurious Audi

IS IT REAL? This luxurious Audi hatchback is a concept, but a production version, called the A7, should go on sale in late 2010.
WHAT THEY SAID: The Sportback emerged like a sci-fi vision from thick plumes of stage smoke, a stretched luxury hatchback with no trace of hatchback nerd factor. The “sportback” layout “will be a cornerstone of our future growth” in several vehicle segments, said Rupert Stadler, chairman of Audi AG.
WHAT THEY DIDN’T SAY: Christian Bokich, an Audi spokesman, said that even-numbered Audi models play a more traditional role, leaving odd numbered models — the 3, 5 and now 7 — free to be wilder, sexier and sportier.
WHAT MAKES IT TICK? Concept and production versions share the platform of the A4 and A5, which also underpins the related Lamborghini Estoque sedan. The rear seats fold down, opening up a generous cargo space. The concept was fitted with a 225-horsepower diesel engine, but Americans will be offered gasoline engines as well.
HOW MUCH, HOW SOON? It’s hard to imagine a car this decadent costing much less than $60,000 or even $70,000 when it arrives next year.
HOW’S IT LOOK? From its beechwood interior and snow-white, diamond-quilted seats to its sparkling lines, the lovely A7 — er, Sportback — is destined to be the darling of Rodeo Drive, or anywhere that people shop and preen.

Terios and wider too

Just what kind of compact five-door 4x4 can you really get for £13,000? Not much of one if you've your heart set on something like a Land Rover Freelander, a Toyota RAV4 or a Honda CR-V. Even something of Suzuki, Kia or Hyundai ilk will set you back around £15,000 if you need five doors. But there is another option - and I finally got around to trying it this week. Daihatsu's Terios is priced from £12,995, only comes in five-door form and really rather surprised me.

Fully 142mm longer than the previous generation Terios and wider too, this model creates opportunities that Daihatsu were completely unable to pursue with the old car, offering space for young families and enough style to suit twenty and thirtysomethings looking for a leisure-oriented vehicle. I thought the interior to be clean and unfussy with materials quality that's a long way removed from the old Terios and the cowled instrument panel is a very nice touch. If you're familiar with the RAV4, you'll have a sense of deja vu in here. Large 4x4s with real off road prowess tend to ride and corner like the QE2 on choppy seas but the bouncy suspension and high riding chassis enable them to cope with the big knocks that off road vehicles are required to take. The Terios is much smaller and nimbler on the road with ride and handling amongst the most car-like in the compact 4x4 sector. Body roll in the bends has been successfully curbed and on the flat, you shouldn't be reaching for the travel sickness pills. It's one of the few 4x4s that you'd take for a drive on tarmac just for the fun of it, making the Terios notably better than its Suzuki rival in this regard and leagues better than anything from Kia or Hyundai. Fuel economy of 40.4mpg is possible on long motorway trips if you're reasonably prudent with the right pedal in the manual model, while the automatic gearbox is slightly thirstier with a 39.8mpg extra urban average. This isn't bad considering the hefty 4x4 transmission the Terios is lugging around and the less than ideal aerodynamics produced by the slab-fronted offroader shape.

The handling is pretty nimble but the penalty for that is off road ability that's decidedly modest. With a mere 17cm of ground clearance, the Terios isn't the ideal tool to take out into the wilds, but wheel articulation is surprisingly good and although the little Daihatsu will adopt some rather dramatic angles of lean through a gnarly off road test course, it'll manage to keep its belly from scraping too badly. Compared to a big Volvo XC90, the Terios is a good deal more useful in the mud. If you can keep the Terios on smooth surfaces, it'll do surprisingly well, although tyre choice is obviously very important, but without a dedicated low range or hill descent system, really hilly terrain is beyond its scope. Compared to Hyundai's Santa Fe, the short front and rear overhangs allow a little more manoeuvrability although the exhaust system is rather vulnerable when the modest ground clearance is exhausted. The Terios feels a little more composed and the steering is a good deal quicker when you need to flick it from lock to lock in a bid to help front wheel grip.

As I've said, if all I wanted was a faux 4x4 for short commutes, school run trips or the urban commute, I'd be very interested in giving this little Daihatsu a go. Enough said.
