Grrr....What a pillock. Why did he have to do this....
What's wrong?
Don't know....something else....
(audience laughing)
Hey! Hey! What's that you're wearing you fat boring middle-aged man?
Something something...
(audience laughing)
Anyway, time now for the news and let's start with a big one. Initial D....is now on it's Fifth Stage ladies and gents! Initial D is back via Pay Per View!
(applause)
So, what's what?
Well, because this is the first of the new ANIMAX PRESENTS PPV (Pay Per View), this is their first offering. Starting November 9, 2012, two episodes of Initial D Fifth Stage are available for 840 yen (about US$11), and the remaining pairs of episodes will be released in a similar format on the second Friday every month.

Wow, this beats rentals or on demand. Is it a paid on-demand service?
I think it is but hey, this is similar since Fourth Stage a few years ago, which is from a pay-per-view service. Sky PerfecTV to be precise. So, anyone willing to watch the first two?
(audience talking)
Okay! For a bigger news, Top Gear is NOW in Car Town!
(applause)

| Top Gear on Car Town |
That's right ladies and gentlemen. The best automotive variety show in the world is now in Car Town! There will be cool cars, stunts, and series of challenges that are more than just pulling out from the yellow envelope sent from the producers.
So, what's their Day One?
They're offering Gallardo Spyder, Clarkson's MX-5 from the Middle East Special, a 1984 Toyota Hilux pickup, and for an added treat; the INDESTRUCTIBLE HILUX from the Killing a Toyota episode.
You thought that this is all they got but think again. This is only the beginning. There's loads of it more in the coming weeks and you'll never know what Top Gear throws something at you.
(oooohhhh)
Expect more to come from Top Gear on Car Town!
Okay, hey now. While on the subject on Car Town...what's up?
I got this limited edition car on this game, it's a 2011 Ford Falcon XR6 UTE. It's the one that reminded me of the now-defunct Aussie Top Gear where the presenters use pickup trucks to get some gold from the gold mine...

That's a good ute and seems that the Australians invaded Car Town for now. Who knows what sort of other Aussie cars coming next?
Let's just wait okay?
Anyway, the Polish have now made a supercar and once again, the geeks spend the rest of their lives playing too much Ridge Racer series for some further inspiration.
Always playing a game that came from Namco for some further inspiration and oh, speaking of Poland, what was that supercar they made?
They called it the Arrinera Hussarya...
(audience laughing)

| Arrinera Hussarya |
The what?
Huss-sshhh-hasshshh-harrghhh--ah who cares? The spelling is H-U-S-S-A-R-Y-A.
Is that reminded me of a the name of a Pagani hypercar, which replaced the Zonda, called the Huhhghh-hghuhhug-uhguhguhgu?
Ahem?
You know. That spelled H-U-A-Y-R-A.
Can't believe they still naming cars after noises coming out from themselves. But hey, it looks like a Lamborghini Gallardo to us.
Indeed it's Poland's Gallardo copycat but still it looks nice and it comes with a 6.2L V8 engine that generates 650HP of power and it only weighs 1300kg. Incredible.
Anyway, let's just forget about it and resume more on the flooding nightmare. As I sure you know, anyone know about the color code for its rainfall warning system? At first, there was Yellow, Green, and Red. However, there was some confusion about the rainfall warning system because most people think that when it's green, it's safe but it's just means ALERT phase. Yellow means on MONITOR phase and red means EVACUATION phase or to put it on this way, the RED ALERT situation when it gets worse. Now, they've revised the coloring from green to orange to avoid confusions.
So, this color change avoids the confusion about Green means safe? That's precaution and as of now, the whole Philippines began a massive cleanup after floods swept the capital and nearby provinces, forcing residents to wade through shoulder-deep waters in some places after nearly two weeks of monsoon rains killed 91 people.

I think everything's back to normal as it seems but according to weather reports, more rain will come but I sure hope it's not as worse as the habagat caused. Anyway, whatever that means, we pray that the floods and rains will go away. I hope....
Right...So anyway, let's move on to the world of tuning so, what do you think about this G-Tech Sportster, which is a Fiat 500 tuned to have its chop-top roof and improved 1.4L turbo engine?

I think it looks cool. The lab rat's became a dirty rat from the sewers...
(audience laughing)
The cuteness has gone, the chop-top roof's cool, everything is becoming a pocket rocket.
Okay, so what about this one? Prior Design do some styling tweaks on the BMW F12/F13 6-Series. What's your say?
 |
| Prior Design BMW 6-Series (F13) |
Yummy. Looks delicious to drive one of these.
I think it's rather more of a show-off than being just a West Coast cruiser.
Right. So, anyway, Kahn Design tries to give the Ferrari 599 a new lease of life with the addition of front and rear sections, ceramic brakes, wing shields, an upgraded F1 gearbox and yellow brake calipers.
 |
| Kahn Design 599 |
What? Looks pretty much the same as the 599 but...
...could it be a sleeper car? Cars that look like stock but tuned on the inside?
I think yes, it is. Anyway, that's all for now but anyway, I've just picked up that union workers at Hyundai resumed walkout on Wednesday after failing to workout a deal with management. About 45,000 unionized workers had been requesting that South Korea's largest automaker increase wages, and they've also been urging to end the nightshifts that workers say are dangerous.
Well, every time, there's always some strike going on by the union workers of Korean car makers. Seems that they want to be treated equally but...this is going to be a K-Drama turned reality. If this going to be made into a drama, this could be it. A Korean drama about union workers in South Korean factories fighting to get what they want.
(audience laughing)
So, whose actors and actresses going to be playing as the union workers?
I don't know. Who do you think?
(audience laughing)
Anyway, forget about this....and hey, Suzuki's planning to launch a completely new car that comes with their newly developed ENE-Charge mild hybrid system, that it maybe similar than GM's eAssist, even a bit more complicating. Here's the clip...

I think that settles it about this clip we've shown but anyway...

| 2012 Nissan GT-R |
I caught up with some ad from Mitsubishi Heavy Inc. and guess what car did featured on that latest ad. It was the R35 Nissan GT-R! Get it? A Nissan GT-R appeared on the ad from Mitsubishi Heavy Inc! A Nissan in a Mitsubishi ad! What the hell?
(audience laughing)
Scoop: http://www.mhi.co.jp/news/story/1208025240.html
Excuse me Mitsubishi, but why are you endorsing a Nissan GT-R? This is wrong folks! Endorsing a wrong product!
(audience laughing)
Actually, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries were responsible for making the engine valves for the R35 GT-R. I also heard that Mitsubishi Heavy Industries were also responsible for the Tokyo Sky Tree, which is Japan's tallest building and even taller than the Tokyo Tower.
Oh...someone cue the Pushing Patrick joke... HEY! WE SHOULD TAKE THE NISSAN GT-R AND PUSH IT ON A MITSUBISHI COMMERCIAL!
(audience laughing)
Nice joke, I'll give it to you...
Anyway, and on that bombshell, that's the news!
