Geneva show 2011
While we have all been living our daily lives, something big has been going on. One of the worlds most important motor shows. The Geneva show 2011.
Now to start off with we will tell you that this year some really weired things have happened. For the first time ever there is an electric car up to win the world car of the year. The Nissan Leaf.

Now along with the LEAF and also potential world car of the year winner is the new Audi A8 and BMW 5 series. We hope that all the fancy-ness of the A8 will take it to top spot. Now its not that we are against the LEAF, we think that electric power is the past and that Hydrogen-full-cell should get a move on. We hate the ugliness of the BMW. The A8 is perfect.

Bigger news is that Range Rover has given in, They announced the Range_e, which is based on the Range Rover sport with a 3.0 liter V6, but this time the V6 has an electric engine that comes with, making the Range Rover a Hybrid.

The luxury car brand has felt the blow in these times with petrol being hated so much so they put that saying into use, "If you can't beat them, Join'em." So Rolls Royce now has a fully electric Phantom.

Hot hatch daddy? RS or OPC?
Hot hatch daddy? RS or OPC?
There is one car we have been neglecting these past few months. A car that has been many, many years in the making. We haven’t heard the name in quite some time now, and it’s the RS.
The not so new Ford Focus RS. It was said to be impossible to have a front wheel drive car to work with more than 200kw. The front wheels just can’t do the steering and handle all that power.
Now the Focus RS with its 2.5l, 5-cylinder Volvo engine produces a whopping 224kw. In a front wheel drive car.
This all works thanks to all the tech underneath, the RS truly opened the door to unbelievable speed in a Hot hatch. It had a Quaife Automatic Torque Biasing LSD, and a specially designed MacPherson strut suspension at the front called RevoKnuckle. Put it all in one pot and the outcome is astonishing.
Figures for RS
Figures
0-100 km/h : 5.9 s
Top speed: 263 km/h
__________________________________________________________________________________
Now you might be wondering why we chose now to talk about the RS, well it’s simple really…
We wanted to wait for the previous daddy, The Opel Astra OPC, to catch up. And it did.
 |
| Don't be fooled with the GTC, It will be the OPC. |
Little is known about the 2012 Opel Astra OPC but what we can tell you is that they have aimed there engine to produce 223kw which is not far behind the Focus, the car will be lighter but the big thing is the way it handles the power.
The current Astra OPC is unfortunately bad at everything else than going straight really fast. That problem was the downfall of the car, Opel do say they recognize that and will fit the car with a wider chassis, electronic LSD and Vauxhall’s FlexiRide adaptive damping.
There is little out there of the OPC but we think Opel wants the crown back for being the daddy of Hot Hatch backs.

The love cars
So its valentines day today and love is all around. You buy chocolates and flowers, eat chocolates and then have a picnic in the back garden just before it starts to pour down with rain, because of global warming.
You think the rain might of just spoiled your whole day, when actually it gives you the best ending. There you are in the rain with your valentine, outside and alone... Hmmm get the picture?
Now we think thats all lame. If you really want a fantastic valentines day gift, it's not a smooch in the rain but more the creative-ness of ones heart. Like these fantastic Valentines Day cars we found on the net.

| In Egypt, someone done this, hearts to them. |
 |
| How romantic is this? Being picked up in a car decorated in chocolate hearts just for you. |
 |
| This love-bug is completely full of chocolate. How romantic. |
 |
| This is the final one. And would you just look at that. Drive around town in a heart thats just for the two of you. But wait theres more... You see Smart had this idea as well. Making a car for that special day for that special someone. So if you are up to being known as the most unforgeable valentine ever then you can have your smart rapped in valentines day things.  Happy Valentines Day! From CARtalk team |

THE COUNT DOWN HAS BEGUN!
2011 Is around the corner and what a fantastic year it was. For cars as well. A look back at the year and we realize that the future for motoring is actually getting brighter even tho the earth is getting hotter. The speeds we know today will be walking pace compared to the speeds we will know in the future. Assuming that the Hydrogen-fuel-cell takes over.
What a blessed year we have had! 2010 Feel it, Its gone.
We will have our car of the year award as soon as we finally agree on what was the best car of 2010. Till then we wish you a very happy new year!

The ultimate driving machine.
Now many of us always wonder what is the perfect car to have. Well we have also thought long and hard about that and can gladly tell you what we think is the, ultimate driving machine.
The answer is so easily justified just by the manufacturer name... Yes its a Ferrari. Not just any old prancing horse. The Ferrari F430.
It does everything better then everything else. Its that simple. Now you might be wondering how on earth could we buy one. Since we stay in South Africa and not Europe it could be difficult and pricey. Which it is. After a long look the only TRUSTED way I found in getting the F430 is through a dealer. In Cape Town. The dealer is called, Viglietti, and they are the only importers of Ferrari's to Southern Africa.
At the moment there are no new F430's for sale in S.A. So that must be disappointing, but not really because there is ONE second hand F430 spider in PERFECT condition.
This car is Ferrari approved so you know its basically brand spanking new!
Its done 12,561 km
It is Convertible
Price: Are you sure you want to know??? Well uhmm... R2 499 000.00.
Yeah that price also crushed my dreams. But we still think that it is the best driving machine ever.
