Mercedes SLS gullwing – nice.
Nissan GTR – nice.
Mclaren SLR – nice.
Now imagine someone deciding to take the SLS, give it some kind of GTR “gaping mouth” and for good measure give it the dropping nose treatment of the SLR.
WHAT? This isn’t just a bad idea, but someone actually decided to take that idea further and make a virtual design study of such an abomination.
The guilty party – MEC Design. Let’s hope they don’t build this thing.

On Sunday the 9th of August 2009 they will be filming the major race finale scene. They need approximately 5000 extras with cars, Bikes and all things bright and cool to really show off how cool our country and it’s people are. Unfortunately, paying for 5000 extras would cost ridiculous amounts of money… So what they are hosting an expo at the Rock raceway in Benoni on Sunday the 9th of August 2009.
Why do men love cars? Most of the time is because of the feeling you get when you push the pedal to the metal, but have you ever thought that we buy them to impress the opposite sex? It could be true. This is why Carblog would like to take a small break from posting about cars, so here are the 2009 Miss Tuning finalists. Just as good as horsepower, isn’t it ?
Boy that’s a weird thing. The Phoenix Suns superstar Shaquille O’Neal which in case you didn’t knew, weighs 375 pounds and is 2.16m (7 ft 1 in) big, just bought a new car. What you expect? A big limo with enough space for feet and large? Wrong. He bought a Smart ForTwo and what’s even more surprising, is that the guy actually fits inside. Well sorta! He got himself a convertible!
It’s pretty funny to see the big guy with his head several inches over the windshield being all cramped inside the small car. By the way! There’s no evidence that the door actually closes with Shaq inside.
How big are you and what cars you drive? Would you choose a Smart ForTwo if you’d be that “large” ?

How cool are these! – We’v just stocked up on these nifty FM Modulators. They plug into your cigarette lighter and give off an FM Signal (you can choose your signal) . You then tune your radio to this frequency and you should be hearing what is playing on the FM Modulator.
All of these include remotes. The entry unit has a USB Stick input while the higher end one has a built in 1gig memory as well as USB stick support. The 1gig model is my fav and the one i’m using. Simply connect to your PC via USB (cable supplied) drag & drop your files, disconnect and hook up in your vehicle.
Another added bonus is the audio-jack input, this allows you to plug in an mp3 player, iPod or similar music device and it’ll playback through the same FM frequency.
IP-MP3FM – this one only supports USB memory sticks
IP-M101FM – this is the 1gig built-in memory unit.
Last year Autostyle Motorsport imported a few “Sunami Kits” – What we thought as a small novelty turned out to be quite the sleeper hit! – The 10 units flew off their shelves in a matter of days. Granted the Speed & Sound featured only added more to this crazy gadget.
Alas suppliers decided to give them the runabout when it came to product support and stock levels and had to discontinue this. Luckily a new unit arrived recently, the Boozina Kit – One can only wonder what kind of a chemically induced state the creator of this must have been under to choose the name, but this is way better then the Sunami.
At the heart of this kit is the programmable module and serial cable, this basically allows you to load your own range of sounds (up to 4) onto the unit. It comes with 4 default sounds (sirens, horns & Elvis Presley impersonations!?!?) – All software, cables, harness, etc are all included. All in all, not a bad kit for under R800.
Now if i can just get an UmshiniWa chant loaded for my next drive to Bloem.
