VW 20-story Car Tower
Posted on May 12, 2006, by Darren, under Cars, Technology.
Volkswagen have an amazing car storage centre in Wolfsburg, Germany (click thumbnail to englare).
I’m sure I’ve heard of these kind of things before somewhere else on the net, manufacturers in Japan I think.
From the main site blurb :
“In a fully automated procedure, your new car is brought down to you from one of the 20-story Car Towers. Large signboards in the Customer Center show you when your turn has come. Then, you’re handed the keys, your picture is taken, the glass doors open and your brand-new car appears. You’re all set to go.”
I bet when it goes wrong though… it GOES WRONG!

118-118

“This is what it feels like to be 118-118″
There’s a genius new advert on UK television at the moment sending up the ‘Honda Choir’ spot for the new Civic.
It’s made by the telephone directory enquiries service 118-118 (who’ve recently started doing other adverts sending up The A-Team). Rather than explain it (or spoil it) for you, just take a look.

HR-V: Five years old – One year on.

What was your first car? Was it a little Fiesta/Corsa/Panda etc? I bet you had it because of insurance/cheap to run reasons right?
These were the vehicles I was looking at whilst having lessons late 2004/early 2005. None of them really appealed though as I would always be thinking ‘I’d like something a little bigger… with a bit more speed and reliability’.
There was always one car I’d liked the look of (more…)

Honda Civic Type R
Posted on February 25, 2006, by Darren, under Cars, World/Web News.
They said it was dead – they said no more ‘Type R’ Civics would ever be made…
But, ladies and gentlemen – It’s back from the dead in its new 2006 3-door body shell form. These are the first shots of the new 2007 Honda Civic Type R.
Wow.
As if the standard version didn’t look good enough (well – the European version anyway), this thing is awesome. Anyone who says Honda is dull, boring and only make cars for old people, well, I’ll let the pictures do the talking 
What’s also amazing is that they are talking about doing a ‘Type RR’ – an idea borrowed from the motorbike division, featuring lightweight carbon fibre-bodied versions of the Type R’s. Can’t wait for the shots of those!
“When is it out?” I hear you scream (or is that just in my head?)… early 2007 is the answer. More details will tip up during the Geneva Motor show taking place next week.
