2014 Aston Martin Rapide S

Heh, seems the Maserati Quattroporte's full change really stirs up the heat in the battle of the four door supercars. In fact, Aston Martin released an updated version of the Rapide four door premium saloon known as the Rapide. Called the Rapide S, Aston claims that this is the most powerful, most luxurious four-door Aston Martin in history. First off all, not only it has a new exterior look, it gets a new 6.0L V12 engine so that now, it produces 558HP of power and 620NM of torque.

Four David Tennants in latest Virgin Media advert!

Once again, Whovians who remember former Doctor Who lead actor, David Tennant, will once again being salivated over the latest advert from British Digital Cable TV provider, Virgin Media, for the TiVo service. On that ad, we see three David Tennants fighting each other and the real David Tennant said on the commercial "Isn't it annoying that three of your favorite programs are on the same time?" Yeah seriously, imagine if our favorite shows like MasterChef, Grand Designs, or Deadliest Catch, were on the same schedule. Virgin Media's TiVo allows you to record your favorite shows on the same schedule so you can catch them all up no matter the schedule is!

Confusing about those David Tennant copies though, is it because of the human-time lord metacrisis? Oh geez....No wonder most of the Brits who switched to Virgin Media were perhaps Whovians because of David Tennant. Allons-y!!!
