Right, what's the news today you spoiler-laden TARDIS journal?
Bureau of Customs seized illegally imported McLaren
 |
| Ruffy Biazon seized a smuggled exotic |
If by rule, if a car is not available in the Philippines, don't even try to smuggle it but sadly, some moron denied the advice and because of that, the Bureau of Customs commisioner Ruffy Biazon intercepted a 2012 McLaren MP4-12C being imported into the country using fraudulent documents. Since McLaren has no official distributor in the Philippines, they only buy it via private importers. One questioing puzzle is that BOC said that the British supercar they've seized cost 45 million pesos. A normal MP4-12C would cost about 19 million pesos so that leaves a big mystery about this...

Scooby goes Hybrid
At the 2013 New York International Auto Show, Fuji Heavy Industries will showcase what is known to be as the first ever hybrid car from Subaru and this is based...on the XV crossover which went on sale last year. While no further details as of now 'till showtime, the XV Hybrid will be revealed next week at the New York Auto Show as well as some mystery performance concept that kept us guessing...

XJR Returns
 |
| 2014 Jaguar XJR |
Missed the Jaguar XJR? Well, good news because on the upcoming New York Auto Show, Jaguar will reveal an all new XJR which combines the comfort of an executive saloon with the thrill of a supercar thanks to its 5.0L Supercharged V8 engine which develops 542HP of power, that's similar to Jaguar's XKR-S Coupe!
SRT Viper TA
 |
| 2014 SRT Viper TA |
A new limited-edition SRT Viper TA isn't just more on being an enthusiast-focused car because most of its luxury equipment's been stripped off and it's on a very limited production run. In fact, this special model is made as an act of revenge against General Motors for outding the SRT Viper with the 2013MY Chevy Corvette ZR1. A couple of months ago, Motor Trend reviewed both the SRT Viper and the 2013MY Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and as it turned out that the ZR1 is faster than the SRT Viper round the Laguna Seca (1:33.70 vs. 1:35.77). For this model, it seems that the hatchet has been burried because the SRT Viper TA set a lap time of 1:33.62, beating the lap time set by the 2013 ZR1.
Production's limited to 33 units and it's available in special Orange Crush color.
"It needs to be updated!"
Jenna Louise Coleman's right. The TARDIS toy needs to be updated because in next week's Doctor Who, they had a new TARDIS now. She said that when she was interviewed by CBS' late night comedian and talk show host Craig Ferguson.
Underground Toys or Character Options, if you're reading this, we want ourselves a new TARDIS like what Jenna Louise said. It may look the same on the outside but when we open its doors, we can see the new (but Teletubbies-inspired) TARDIS interior. This is something we really wish to have...an updated TARDIS toy! Please... And be sure that Clara Oswin Oswald inspires a figure!!!
(sigh)
THANKS FOR CRITICIZING EVERYONE'S TARDIS TOYS (OR THEIR DW COLLECTIONS), NEW GIRL ON DOCTOR WHO...
SIDE NOTE: In observance of Holy Week, that is next week, I may temporary shut this blog off when the clock strikes 12:00 midnight (Philippine Standard Time) to Maundy Thursday. Which means, no more blogging until Easter Sunday, when I'll be back from the Lenten season...
