Jeremy Clarkson Quotes from "The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly"

"The reason American cars are cheap is because they are made from melted down Action Man." (He really hates American-made cars)

"In many ways, this car is like herpes. Great fun catching it, but not so fun to live with it everyday." - On the Corvette Z06

"It certainly isn't pretty. Honestly, I'd rather look at a baboon. In fact, come to think about it, I'd rather look at the back of a baboon." - On the Prius 2003 model

"So, it's not beautiful. It's not fast. It's not particularly economical. Not DESPERATELY safe. And now it turns out it isn't even bullet-proof. Sheesh." On the Prius 2003 model after a certain Billy Bob shoots it.

"Hmm.. this means the Americans have had the car for a hundred years and they are still going no faster when this whole place was cowboy-central." On the 2007 Ford Shelby GT500 Mustang, 4.6 L, 300bhp

"This was built for straight lines." - On the 1968 Ford Mustang 390 GT

"Sure, the Shelby has more horsepower. But trust me on this, it doesn't matter. It REALLY doesn't matter." - On the 2007 Ford Roush Mustang V8

"While this may look like a large executive saloon with enormous wheels, it's actually a modern-road-burning muscle car." - On the Chrysler 300 SRT (Street & Racing Technology) 8 based on the Mercedes E Class, 6.1 L V8 engine, 425 bhp

"The extraordinary thing is though, none of the noise it makes are NOISE. I mean, you thought that it got one of it right, by accident, but NO! Honestly, it's like farts. Loads of different types and I don't really wanna hear any of them." - On the Cadillac XLR V V8, 443bhp

"You would imagine then that the American motorists didn't care much for Jaguar's new XK 8. They'd probably find the 4.2 Litre V8 too small and they wouldn't care to hoot that it's made from aluminum. So it's light and agile. So what?" - On the Jaguar XK 8

"It has an 8.3 Litre V10 engine with 510bhp and you could use an engine like that to move a moon out of orbit." - On the Dodge Viper

"What I love most of all is that it's quite, civilised, and sophisticated. But you can sense, that the back end, wants to come out and play." On the 2008 Ford GT

Cheers.

Mash-up, a MAJOR one

This arrangement sounds so good on my Audio Artist. Jon Schmidt has superb talent. Now, I can't help it, playing it over and over again.

Cinderella Man

The Korean producers of the Korean drama series, Cinderella Man, certainly played their cards right, with the Europeans. Only on the first episode, I have seen a 2007  snow white BMW M6 cabriolet. The German-produced car is said to be the World's Fastest 4-Seat Convertible. This 5.0 liter, V10 baby is a gem. Put the pedal to the floor and it wails a superb exhaust tone when you hit 8,250 rpm line.

Wald's side skirts body kit and Brembo GT 4 piston rear brake kit, 13-inch cross-drilled rear disc rotor.

Wald's rear Apron splitters body kit and quad-tip exhaust system.

With Wald front Apron spoiler body kits and Brembo GT8 piston front brake kit and 15-inch cross-drilled front dist rotor.

Next on the list, it is the BMW F01, or the 7 series. This baby is a 2008 production for the '09 model. I am not too sure whether the one in the Korean drama is the twin-turbo V12 or V8 engine, but it sure looks fine to me. It comes with a 8-speed transmission and either 4-square pipes for the V12 or 2-square pipes for the V8. The Germans always improve their iDrive Navigation System (which can be annoying at times when it does not work properly). It comes in 4 colours: Sophisto Grey, Cashmere Silver (the one from Cinderella Man), Imperial Blue and Mineral White.

Then we have the British Bentley. The producers certainly have high-class taste in cars when it comes to the 2007 black Arnage. This fine thang has a 6.8 liter Rolls Royce V8 engine (my mind just went somewhere else) churns out a bhp range of 450 to 500 depending on the version. Bentley will cease its operation in this year though. Bye bye beauty.

What can I expect more from this drama? You and I will just have to wait and see.

Cheers.

Tropicana City Mall Revisited

My Lady...

I went to Tropicana City Mall for the third time yesterday. I didn't buy anything, just snapped some pictures that I missed during my first 2 visits. My parents, brother and I didn't go anywhere else much because we were there for a purpose.

Here are the pictures:

Hyundai automobile exhibition. Vehicles include  Santa Fe, Tuscon, Genesis Coupe, and Getz.

I would love to try dining at this place. Love the classic bicycle.

Cheers.
