Let's Do The News! (May 3, 2012)

So, the K9 is a good Korean premium sedan?

Kinda but to me, this isn't a good proper alternative to the Hyundai Equus because to me, the Equus does have a powerful GDi engine, something that Kia Motors would soon put it on the K9. To be honest, I couldn't work it out at all.

About UVO Telematics System, does it act like Hyundai's BlueLink?

Yeah...

Okay time now for the news and oh, have you seen one episode of BS NTV's Best Motor TV? There was a race between the Mazda Roadster, Subaru BRZ, and the TOYOTA 86, at Twin Ring Motegi. It was a close one. At first, the Mazda Roadster's taking a lead and meanwhile, the BRZ and 86 are getting neck and neck in the lead and the winner was the TOYOTA 86.

Wow, that was too brilliant.

Yeah, now where are we? Oh yes! The news!

Now, Lamborghini, they've launched a special edition for Malaysia only, it's called the Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2 Malaysia Limited Edition. It's based on the RWD Gallardo but it uses some Superleggera aesthetics on the outside to make it more unique. Three colors are available such as Blanco Monocerus (solid white), Verde Ithaca (pearl green) and Arancio Borealis (pearl orange). It costs RM1,680,000 OTR and its limited to 20 units.



Mmmm...I'd never expected a special Gallardo was made for the Malaysian car enthusiasts. That's too good but, is it worth driving for?

Quite so...Anyway,

HEY! GREAT NEWS!

WHAT?

THE DACIA DUSTER! IT'S COMING TO THE U.K.! (Seriously, it's coming).

(applause)

GREAT!


Ugh, here we go again. The old Top Gear Dacia gag that James May often blast it out from his mouth. Is he obsessed with Dacias? Oh well...

Now, ever since Saab's demise, it seems that Saab loyalists worldwide are trying to preserve the last 9-3, the one with the Arctic White color, possibly the last Saab ever made before its doors closed.


Hmmm, so the final Saab before its closure was the 9-3 sedan? Uh, okay. I kinda cared about that but what would they do with the final Saab? A Saab fansite said "A number of cars at the museum from the history of Saab that was written in the last two years are NOT secured. They are either borrowed to the museum or are still missing."

Yeah, some of the Saab history are either borrowed or missing but where's the missing link? Oh sorry but, YOU ARE THE WEAKEST LINK! GOODBYE!

(laughing)

Anyway, while they're diddling about this, let's move on...

About Rhys Millen's arrival in the Philippines, what he does is drifting an S13 Silvia at Quirino Grandstand around static jeepneys, with wide-eyed spectators as well as officers from Manila's Finest watching intently. Here's the clip...





Now that's cool. We think he's cool though. I would gladly buy some Red Bull cans on most 7-Eleven stores.

(laughing)

Oh, there was something we didn't know about Rhys Millen. TGP listed the five things we never know about Rhys Millen. Here's the list;

1) His first love was mountain biking
2) Tanner Foust was once his roommate
3) He's been doing car stunts for commercials and movies almost as long as he's been racing.
4) One of his most memorable and challenging drives was in Brazil two years ago.
5) He's seen his share of drama in the movie business.


Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Some say that Tanner Foust was once Rhys Millen's roommate?! But but but but...how's that possible?

Uh, Rhys Millen said...

"Tanner's a really good friend of mine, and the first time I met him was at a rally event years ago. He was just starting then when I approached him and said, 'Hey, did you know your tires are on backwards?' He said, 'What?!' And I said, 'Your tires are on backwards.' And then I explained to him how I knew. We hit it off really well and we started hanging out and then one day, he told me he was looking for a place to stay so I invited him to stay over in my place for a few days. The few days then turned to months so I started charging him rent. Three years later, after I had proposed to my wife, I told him, 'Hey, you know you have to move out because I'm gonna get married soon.' We're still good friends and he lives just five miles from where I live, but I have yet to see him this year. That's how busy we are in our business."

(ooohhhh)

So, did you get it?

Yes, yes...I kinda get it now...

Anyway, remember Ambush? The robot from the movie, Real Steel? Good Smile Company plans to release this Ambush figure this September with the pricing of 29800JPY (including tax).


Whoa! First time some Japanese toymaker's making a figure came from a Hollywood movie. I like that Ambush robot anyway and I kinda like that whole Real Steel movie anyway. Those dents look realistic!

Now, while we're drooling for this...I read some mega weird news...Anyway, the Osaka Prefectural Police's Living and Economic Affairs Division arrested two managers of the "Arupu" clothing store in Osaka's Habikino city on Wednesday for manufacturing and selling a shirt featuring an Anpanman and Kewpie lookalike character.


Oh, it's weird to see some store selling a T-shirt with some Anpanman/Kewpie Lookalike. Sorry to say but, it's too ridiculous. There was a similar situation about the store in question after suspecting that the store were creating products with Kamen Rider and Ultraman lookalike characters.

What comes next? Some store selling Stig lookalike T-shirts?

(laughing)

Anyway, that's the news!
