March 22, 2013 in Motor Trade Insurance News & Info

“Some spectacular super slow motion wet track action from the 2013 MotoGP™ Official test in Jerez. The wet riding skills of the likes of World Champion Jorge Lorenzo and his rivals from the Repsol Honda team, Dani Pedrosa and Marc Marquez, can really be sensed in these slow motion images as they throw their powerful MotoGP prototypes around in the pouring rain in the south of Spain

Some beautiful and thought-provoking imagery here by French photography artist Renaud Marion.

The images are breath taking, especially for someone into their classic cars. Anyone familiar with Futurama style science fiction and fashion will appreciate everything about this.

Enough yapping, here’s ‘Air Drive’:

Dream Cars: 1987 Pontiac Trans Am Firebird

January 30, 2013 in Feature Post, Fun Stuff, Motor Trade Insurance News & Info

It’s been a while since we did the last Dream Cars but we haven’t stopped dreaming!

Since then I’ve fallen in love with the Pontiac Firebird 1987 Trans Am. Perhaps one of the more controversial selections for Dream Cars due to an over-tacky-ness in its F Bodied life. But deep down and away from all the horrible vinyl decoys, tasteless add-ons and crappy paint jobs lives a beautiful, fast and sexy car.

Man Builds Homemade Lamborghini

Remember the Fahrradi Farfall FFX? The worlds most expensive pedal bike, resembling that of a Ferrari/super car? Well this is a whole new world of awesome!

Wang showing off on the streets of China.

Some people would go to no limits to get behind the wheel of their dream car. But this is just crazy. 28 Year old Wang Jian has amazed even the craziest mechanics by building his very own Lamborghini from scratch!

Wang loved cars from a very young age and trained as a mechanic when he was 16. After working in an auto shop in eastern China’s Jiangsu Province for 10 years he then decided to open his own business to then build an adventurous vehicle of his own.

The real Lamborghini Reventon

What did this project cost? Only £6,000 was spent in its creation as Wang used a mini model of a Reventon to help him build the life-sized version from a second hand Volkswagen. A re-welding of the chassis and relocating the engine from the front to the back were the initial jobs in its transformation.

Although he’s spent so much time and effort into making the wonderfully inventive machine he originally was forced to use the vehicle to transport fertiliser. However we’re happy to find out that he’s now allowed to take this thing to the streets and show off. Hell yeah!

This man deserves a round of applause for being the best mechanics we’ve seen in a while! Bravo, Wan Jian!
