After 25 years is it stop!

It may come as a surprise for you, VW has produced the first Golf MKI up until now!! It has been made in South-Africa for the latest years, on a production plant that was taken down in the USA and sent over to S-A for long time ago. The car has been sold as a low-cost version, called CitiGolf into very special markets with low economy. But now it ends.... perhaps the best for everybody...? or not..?

PC as a WiFi router!!

If you (as me) are staying at hotels where you only get a cable connected internet, you certainly will be a bit frustrated when you can't connect your phone or other devices to the internet.... Well, here is the solution!! Turn your computer into a WiFi router, only with a program! The only thing is that you need to run Win7 on the computer - then you start the Connectify program on, and you can share your internet connection as a WiFi connection to several units. This works perfect by the way :-))))

Click on the picture below to get to the web site for downloading the Connectify program

F1 season 2010 in the planning

With the 2009 season drawing to a close and both the titles already decided, F1 is going into the off-season. And that means all parties – teams, drivers, organizers, sponsors and everyone else involved in the sport – will be preparing for next year's schedule.

2010 FIA Formula One World Championship will look like this:

14/3 BRN Bahrain
28/3 AUS Australia
4/4 MAL Malaysia
18/4 CN China
9/5 E Spain
16/5 MC Monaco
30/5 TR Turkey
13/6 CDN Canada**
27/6 E Europe (Valencia)
11/7 GB Great Britain*
25/7 D Germany
1/8 H Hungary
29/8 B Belgium
12/9 I Italy
26/9 SGP Singapore
3/10 J Japan
17/10 ROK Korea*
31/10† UAE Abu Dhabi*
14/11† BR Brazil

*Subject to the homologation of the circuit.
**Subject to the completion of contract negotiations with Formula One Management.
†The FIA has approved in principle a proposal to swap the dates of the Abu Dhabi and Brazil grands prix, pending agreement with the promoters of both events.

So now you can plan your travels for next year :-))

How NOT to drive a Viper!

If you're in a rush, don't rush it! Specially when you have a car like this.... Just sad....!!

Goldplated staples...!!??

You have too much money in your business, and don't know how to spend them ? Perhaps these 14 Karat Goldplated Staples by Studio OOOMS are the perfect addition to your lavish stationary cupboard.



I can't see the point though, but then again they could have been made primarily as a form of jewelry.... These luxury pieces can be applied to clothing (or just about anything) with the help of your average (non-goldplated) stapler. You can of course also use it on your next income tax report you send to the governement.....


I say just: WTF!!

Manhart Racing M3 e91 with V10 engine

This is a very cool family racer from Manhart. They have rebuild a M3 on several levels, but the main feature would be the engine - 550hp, V10 that gives the car these numbers: 0 to 100km/h in only 4.3 seconds and on the motorway it easily cruises past most other performance saloons and estates (including the ‘true’ M3 and M5 models) with its top speed of 324km/h.

Some few pics:





Nice work Manhart!

Dualscreen laptop - at last!!

Now, this is a laptop I would like to have :-)))



We're looking at two 10.1-inch LCDs each capable of outputting at 1024 x 600 and 1366 x 768 resolution, and if one is all you need, it's a sliding mechanism to hide the other monitor. What's more, the base of it swivels, although we didn't get to see it twist behind 15 degrees so we're not sure the extent of its flexibility. Powering the DirectX 10-compatible little guy is an AMD Athlon MV-40, along with a 2.5-inch SATA HDD, up to 4GB DDR2 memory, and Windows 7 Home Premium.
