10 steps in making love in a Mini Cooper
1. Remove seat belts
2. Move front seat slightly forward
3. Lower Backrest, not quite all the way
4. Put small pillow or folded clothing on seat bottom (Helps soften seat hinge hitting partner's back)

5. Make sure hand brake is in down position (please also make sure you are not parked on a slope first)
6. There's plenty of room in door pockets for clothes, please note phallic design of door puuls
7. Be careful of feet on dashboard where toggle switches for windows and lights are clustered

8. Allow feet to gain leg rooms

9. There's more room on passenger side, but driver side might work with female astride position
10 Don't worry about car rocking - the suspension is very stiff

11. If you live in Singpaore, don't forget the newspaper :P

Flying Ferrari
While designer Iman Maghsoudi gave us a Ferrari that was akin to operating a PC touching speeds of 200 km/h; designer Vincent Montreuil has a different vision for the speedster. Adding a third dimension to the pulsating sport, he envisions race tracks in the air, demarcated with levitating lines (or ropes; u get the drift); and a Flying Ferrari X-Racer in the forefront. Call him crazy or over-ambitious, but it’s not hard to imagine his concept taking shape…say 50 years from now!

A Futuristic Ferrari.
Designer Iman Maghsoudi believes driving cars in the future will be akin to operating a PC while traveling 200 km/h. Humans lacks the concentration and dexterity required to handle such a task but the inevitably of hyper-computerized vehicles is a truth we can’t avoid. Monza is built for speed but smart enough to drive itself.
At slower speeds, the “pilot” sits in a cockpit similar to straddling your office chair like a motorcycle and has full control. Once you exceed a specified speed limit, the computer takes over. The vehicle changes shape resembling an airfoil for maximum aerodynamics. The design creates lift to reduce friction and strong ground effects keep you from taking off. The 2 manta ray like fins adjust to channel air smoothly across the vehicle while also serving to make you look totally bad ass!

Sarah Eclipsed
Introducing Sarah

And her NOS Charged Mitsubishi Eclipse

Sarah giving her car a wash before she goes for a drive.



Just before she set off, she will pop the bonnet for a routine check.

And ensure that the NOS tank is fully loaded.

And off she goes to the hottest bikini party in town.

[Nissan News] The Infiniti Essence
This might just be a wild concept by Infiniti.
But it definately caught my attention. Look at those curves !
Finally, electric and hybric cars are getting interesting. They can be fast, real fast and yet does not consumed as much petrol as traditional supercar does. (Hmmm ... but what need to be burnt to generate electricity ... hmmm).
This Infiniti Essence concept is powered by the same 3.7L V6 Twin Turbo engine (VQ37DETT) as the Nissan R35 GT-R. The electric motor produces 158 hp and combinely, a total of 592 hp and an estimated combined torque at 1088 Nm.
Even with such high power, Infinity claim that the Essence can do 12.5km on every liter on petrol. Wow!
Is everything that are said is true, this Infiniti Essence might just be the No.1 competitor of its cousin, the Nissan R35 GTR.

Nissan's News: GTR at the Ring and a New Skyline Crossover
There are just so much exciting stuff coming from Nissan these days.
Firstly, A JDM GT-R driven by Nissan's chief test driver, Toshio Suzuki, recorded a blistering 7min 27.56 secs on 16th April.
And guese what, they are still unhappy with that run: "Although dry, the track surface grip was impaired by dust and sand. Under the direction of Nissan GT-R Chief Vehicle Engineer, Kazutoshi Mizuno, and depending on conditions, the Nissan test team will attempt another record at the ‘Ring tomorrow."
All the best Guys !!!

Next, from Japan, Nissan has announced a new Skyline Crossover powered by a VQ37VHR engine with VVEL technology. I think it look great !

The official Nissan Skyline Crossover site (Available in Japanese only)
And finally, LSD Design releases these doors for the R35 GTR. You can have a pair if you are willing to part with about S$ 5,000.00.
