"Curly Fu" and "Peanut" is how you say Sherlock and Watson in Chinese

Even in China, there's no escaping the Sherlock fandom right now as when the fandom escalates to greater heights. With China being the next nation to have its taste of BBC's Sherlock, Sherlock Holmes' name in Chinese is "Curly Fu" while Dr. John Watson's name in Mandarin is "Hua Sheng" meaning "Peanut". While Chinese fans gone crazy over Sherlock, some would go for even crazier heights for some "gay-love theory" between Holmes and Watson.

Curly Fu and Peanut...those Chinese fans do gave them weird nicknames.

Dad turns his 86 into McQueen character for his kid

This car-related article, as posted from Autoindustriya, looks quite interesting for our inner kids. A car enthusiast turned his Toyota 86 (GT86/Scion FR-S) into a character from Disney's Cars for his three year-old kid. Lightning McQueen is the main character of the two Disney Cars movies and as that car nut told, he saw pics on the net about cars decorated in Lightning McQueen's livery and he even told that his son would be cool if he rode Lightning McQueen to school.

He enlisted tuner Speedway Engineering to make his kid's dream a reality, well sort of. And aside from mimicking McQueen's looks, his 86 got tuned to have over 300HP of power thanks to the added turbocharging and ECU mods.

Here's the clip that sums it up...

Proton revealed Honda Inspire-based Perdana, only for Malaysian government officials

2014 Proton Perdana revealed for Malaysian government officials

Last month, Proton revealed the brand new Perdana executive sedan and this new model is based on the final-generation Honda Inspire CP3. However, you can't have one because this executive saloon is only made for Malaysian government officials, even Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Abdul Razak.

Like the previous Honda Accord, the new Perdana comes with either a 2.0L or a 2.4L engine sourced from Honda. Although, it looks identical to the CP3 Honda Inspire, the only differences you'll see are the Proton badges inside and out.

The Malaysian Prime Minster gets himself a one-off stretched version for himself.
