Blazingly Quick Lambo
Lamborghinis are undoubtedly quick cars, but did you also know they are amazingly quick to burn out? A guy on a test drive found out yesterday when his car caught fire and burned to the ground in just a few minutes – as you can see here. That’s over $600,000 in Australian dollars going up in flames!
Easter Egg Hunt Winners
Thanks to everyone who took part in our Easter Egg hunt. we had a massive entry, far more than we expected, but sadly there can be only five winners, which have been drawn at random from the successful contenders.
The lucky winners are:-
New Car That Does 560mph for $499 Here!
Quite a story, eh? This is the world of remote control hobby cars. One of the leading brands has just announced a new remote controlled car that actually does a real 70mph for a sale price of $499US. Size for size that translates to 560mph. See it in action here
This is a market that we are not too familiar with, so we did a little more research. It seems that 70mph is not quite so impressive as the world record is an amazing real, (not simulated) 161mph, but this is a specially made car that cost the owner more than $4000
What's in a Number – $13.6m??
There was a time when ‘personalised plates’ meant two letters, usually your initials, followed by three or four numbers-usually your birthdate…and they were free!
How things change. Next there was a small registration fee, but the plate was yours for life, then a wider range of letters and numbers could be specified and then there were annual fees.
