Just finished reading Jeremy Clarkson’s (TopGear guy) review of the new Lexus GS430. I think its one of the most enjoyable and entertaining reviews I have ever read. He is such a cool guy, I love his style of writing, you need to read this review, here is the link. [Link]

Just yesterday I was watching the Rides episode where they built a car for drifting and I was telling Nat how cool drifting is when today I read that the new Fast and the Furious will be based on drifting. Neither Vin Diesel (who co-starred in the first film, but not the second) nor Paul Walker (who co-starred in both) will appear in the new movie which is scheduled to begin filming this fall. [Link]

On a side note, the show Top Gear is currently showing on the Discovery Channel in the States. Hope they come to Showtime also. At the moment you can watch Top Gear every Sunday at 1PM on BBC.

Saw this green H2 today while coming back from lunch. Surprisingly, it didn’t look that bad…

Gaywheels.com will launch as the first automotive website targeted at gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender (GLBT) buyers. The site is said to provide a “gay-friendly” way to shop for cars. Anyone else think this is stupid? [Via]

Just read this article in Arab Times where they are talking about building a rail system in Kuwait in preparation for the major traffic congestion we will be facing in the upcoming future. Now the cool thing in the article is they are proposing the futuristic Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) to connect major buildings. It was the first time I had heard about it so I did a bit of research and this thing is like super cool. Its like mini trains that hold around 4 people for example, and if you are say at the main NBK branch in Kuwait City and you want to go to Souk Sharq for lunch, instead of taking the car you just hop into one of these tiny air conditioned capsules and tell it to go to Souk Sharq and it will take you. This system just requires major buildings to be connected via tracks and you no longer need to your car to travel from your building to another down the street. Here is a link with more information on PRT. [Link]

Some shots of the new Mitsubishi pickup truck have appeared online. Mitsubishi usually bases the design of the Pajero on the pickup truck so we could be looking at the new Pajero SUV in these pictures. I think the front looks a lot like the Murano. [Link]

A 1001hp Bugatti Veyron has popped up on eBay with a starting bid of only $1.7 million.

Measurements of the customer will also be transmitted to Bugatti to manufacture the custom driver seat. If you are interested in the car, then go ahead and bid on it. [Link]

Jeremy Clarkson’s review of the Nissan 350Z Roadster was just posted a few minutes ago on Times Online. He gave it a 2 out of 5 which is a pretty low score. Good thing I decided not to get it.. [Link]
