No RX8 For James Bond?

Mike TheMekanic — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 11:42:23 +0000

I saw my neighbor drove up in a red RX8 and being a nosey person that I am, I decided to look up more information on the RX8. You see, somehow, I believe you can gauge a person by the stuff they buy, especially if it is an optional luxury item like a red sports [...]

Worlds Fastest Lawn Mower

Mike TheMekanic — Tue, 25 May 2010 10:52:17 +0000

I woke up and read the news and got a little envy when I saw that someone has set a new lawn mower speed record. By now, I’m sure the world over especially if you are connected in anyway via television or internet or if you have friends that are too free, they would have [...]

Nissan Micra

The last 2 post have me writing about Porsche. At first, I thought that I have pretty much brain dumped everything I have to write about the German car marquee. Clearly this is not the case. The more I think about it, the more I have know there are a ton more of stuff to [...]

Porsche Panamera

In my last article, I wrote about a friend buying a Porsche Boxster. Since he is a family man with young children, this means leaving half the brood at home while you have all the fun alone with one kid, while the rest turns the home upside down. After a few such episodes, any sane [...]

Aargh, A Porsche Boxster?

Mike TheMekanic — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 10:14:32 +0000

Recently someone I know bought himself a Porsche. If you have been following my site for sometime, you’ll notice that I’ve been focusing more on cars from the Land of the Rising Sun. While I’m fond of cars from Europe and less so of the US, the reason is because European Cars cost a ton [...]

911 Turbo Drops 10 Seconds At Nurburgring

Mike TheMekanic — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 15:25:22 +0000

Nissan announced that the GT-R had set a new lap record on the Nurburgring with a lap time of 7 minutes and 29 seconds back on April 17, 2008. Since then, there has been rather “interesting tit for tat” between the German sports car builder Porsche and the Japanese automaker Nissan seeing who is faster [...]

Nissan Land Glider Concept

Mike TheMekanic — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 14:44:38 +0000

At the Tokyo Motor Show this morning, Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn rolled silently onto the stage in the company’s latest battery powered concept, the Land Glider. Powered by battery, the Land Glider is not the first leaning car. Intended to be an urban runabout, the two-seat Land Glider is extremely narrow. It certainly will help [...]

How Tight Can You Park

Mike TheMekanic — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 04:48:28 +0000

Look at how narrow this guy’s car park is. Do you reckon you can do better? With a car park that size, you can’t buy a car any bigger, LOL. Btw, that was great parking skills.

Fast And Furious For Real

Mike TheMekanic — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 14:59:45 +0000

If you are into cars (which I’m sure you are, otherwise you wouldn’t have ended up on this site , right) I’m sure you would have heard of the Fast and Furious. Guys with supped up nitro enhanced cars that can avoid bullets. I’ve not that into FF but I’m old enough to remember movies [...]

Car Ring Tones?

Mike TheMekanic — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 03:39:00 +0000

pic credit All of us at one time or another have tried ringtones for our mobile phones. It all started in the days when most phones have a limited choice of ringtones and everybody started to reach for their when a call come in. Now, I reckon, we are possibly at the verge of a [...]
