The Power of Screams
Posted on January 7, 2006, by Darren, under Cars, World/Web News.
Remember I mentioned in an earlier post that there was a new Honda Civic 2006 advert out soon?
Well, here’s a still from it (click thumb to enlarge).
Apparently “only human voices were used during the making of the advert”. Intriguing.
We’ll just have to wait till until the spot airs within the next few weeks to find out what it’s all about.
UPDATE (14/01/06): The new advert aired yesterday here in the UK, and they’ve managed to out-do themselves yet again.
Take a look at the new advert : Honda Civic 2006

The Power of Advertising
Posted on December 27, 2005, by Darren, under Cars, World/Web News.
Just had to say a little something about Honda’s new Power of Dreams advert.
It is brilliant!
Shot in New Zealand & Barcelona, the two minute spot features a guy riding/driving a range of Honda vehicles, right from the 50′s Monkey Bike, through the Super Cub C100, ATV (Quad), S600, Goldwing, 60′s Isle of Man TT Racer, S2000, NSX, Fireblade, a 1963 Formula One car, modern F1 car, 225hp Powerboat and finally onto a hot air balloon.
The ad is the latest in the company’s ‘Image Up’ campaign which has also produced the ‘Cog’ ad for the new Accord and the ‘Hate Something-Change Something’ ad for their new Diesel engine earlier in 2005.
Keep a look out for the next ad, which should appear in January-February when the new sexy Civic arrives here in the UK.
If anyone wants the PoD ad I have a 30mb high-quality version I can send them (just drop a note in the comments 
).
Oh, and in case you’re wondering – the song on the ad is called ‘The Impossible Dream’ by Andy Williams (download the MP3).

ASIMO
Posted on December 14, 2005, by Darren, under Technology, World/Web News.
Honda have an updated ASIMO robot out, along with a new dedicated information website.
The humanoid robot now features the ability to pursue key tasks in a real-life environment such as an office and an advanced level of physical capabilities.
There are tonnes of pictures, and videos to watch too. All I want to know is – When can I buy one? 
Take a look : Visit the new ASIMO website

HR-V shop is open!
Posted on December 4, 2005, by Darren, under Cars, Personal, Technology.
My new shop is open (at long last), and offers T-Shirts, caps and bags – all adorned with the HR-V logo.
One of the best shirts on offer is the new Black shirt (see left) with a white logo. White and yellow shirts are also available, as are ladies tops too.
Also on offer is a HR-V mouse mat, featuring the rear roof/spoiler section of the car, and a HR-V logo. Prices are in US Dollars, so use a Currency Converter to work out prices if you don’t live in the States.

Brum brum…..

Yes I’m a big kid. I know… but I couldn’t resist purchasing this ‘pull-back’ toy of my car, basically because it’s the only toy ever made that’s based on the HR-V (click the image to enlarge it).
It’s got one hell of a motor in it as it goes for miles on a full ‘pull’!
