OPEL ADAM: just unique



Hey Guys

You can see it the way you want, and you can think about it the way you want. But one thing is pretty clear - the new Opel Adam is unique.
Or maybe not, it looks to me like an Asian Audi A1 (if you know what I mean ...), or what do you think?

But what I like, according to the Video, is the Video Screen in the middle console.
A bit just like at "West Coast Customs" in the good old Days.
Dear Opel, now its your turn!
Create a Part II of this Video, let it start where this one ends and then Xzibit jumps in the Video, like in the good old Days, the rims start to rotate, like if something magical happened and for sure he already has a Playstation controller in the back pocket of his jeans and then he'll demonstrate us how to play NFS on this Video Screen there ...

Spotted: Renault Dauphine


Hey Guys
As I already posted on Facebook, I will spend the whole Weekend with nice Classic Cars. Here now one of my "first" sightings, two different-blue-shaded Renault Dauphine.

A few years ago there was a Dauphine for sale at a Car Dealer (remembering the "automotive graveyard"?) in my town. For just a few euros ... but with my 16 years, at that time, I was far away from my driving license and on the other hand the little blue Dauphine wasn't looking much different than the Cars in the Post above. Bye bye Dreams of driving and owning a little Dauphine :(

    LE MANS with a Helicopter in 10 Minutes



    Hey Guys
    When you're at Le Mans for the first time, and just hanging around in the area between the Paddock and the Ferris Wheel you don't have (no, you really don't have) a clue of the real dimensions of the Track. 13,5 km sound smaller than they actually are!

    So I did a 10 Minutes Helicopter Flight and we flew 1,5 times around the Track. If you're interested in one of those flights for the next time, you can exit the area right behind the starting-grid on the side of the Airport (there's a small brown house where they scan your tickets, so you can exit). I can really recommend this experience to everyone! ;-)

    Champagne Showers after the 24 Hours of Le Mans 2012, Audi on #1, #2, #3


    Hey Guys
    When the 4 AUDI passed the finish line of the 80th edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans the atmosphere was so unique all around. People that haven't even knew each other were celebrating together, cheering, clapping their hands and applauding loud.

    Audi won the 24 Heures du Mans and for the very very first time a Hybrid/Diesel Car won a Motorsports Race, and then the "hardest in the world".

    The Partying mood of the Spectators couldn't be stopped by walls, everyone was now storming the track to be as close as possible at the ceremony.

    Later, when I also went downstaris, I picked up one of those gold-glitter-things. One of the best souvenirs you can get, don't you agree?
