A NASCAR Pitstop Looks like This

May 20 2014

Readying to re-fuel.

Fire-retardant everything.

NASCAR rules state one thing per stop, as in, you can’t both refuel and change tires at the same time, it must be done in two stops.

A few seconds lost during the process, could mean falling behind 5 or 6 places out on the track.

Re-start the engine, push push push GO.

Enter the 6th Annual “Rally ‘Round the County”

May 20 2014

If ever you’ve wanted to try a car rally, this Sunday in Milton Ontario is your chance.

My friend Jim Kenzie will be there, who has great stories to share, and make sure to ask him about fog lights, he loves them ;)
 
 
Below is his write-up, and if you do enter, good luck and let me know how you did!

***

The sixth Annual “Rally ‘Round the County” takes place this coming Sunday, May 25, starting at Milton Heritage Park.

Registration opens at 9 a.m., first car away at 10 a.m., and you should be all done by 1:30 p.m.

This is a low-key, family-oriented, ‘Time-Speed-Distance’ fun event – bring the kiddies!

All you need is enthusiasm and a modicum of mathematical skills. If you lack the latter, bring a calculator – we’ll teach you all you need to know!

Prizes for best scores, and for best costumes. Sure, dress up – why not?

Silent auction and barbecue (included) all to raise money for Girls Inc. of Halton, which offers after-school programs for girls who need support.

$60 entry fee per car.

Jim Kenzie will even be there with his lovely 1977 American Motors Hornet hatchback. But don’t let that stop you…

A ‘Welcoming Fund-Raising Party’ will also be held Thursday, May 22, at “Shoeless Joe’s Restaurant”, 800 Main Street Milton, between 5 and 8 p.m. 10 percent of all food sales will be donated directly to Girls Inc.

For more information, please visit RallyRC.com.

Not a Bad Personalized Licence Plate

May 20 2014

Glamping – glamorous camping

It’s attached to a luxury motorhome, which had fake stone surrounding the windows, and a fireplace. Really.

1/3 of Traffic is Caused by People Looking to Park

May 14 2014

Read it online at Autonet.

The average time spent looking for
a curb parking spot is 8 minutes.

Favourite line:

Cities need to find the sweet-spot price of curb parking. If the price is just right, about 1 of 8 spots will be vacant, reducing search time, and therefore congestion.

A Fast Look at Nissan’s all-new Micra

May 13 2014

Canada’s best-priced car at $9,998. I predict we’re about to see this thing everywhere.

On sale now. Here’s the site – Nissan Micra.

This video is one of the first video reviews online in the country.  Oh no no, I’m not competitive :|  YA I am.

I also threw this video up on Viddy, it was my 100th video there, and it’s doing well at 2,600+ views.

NOTE: the reason why there’s an absence of driving and handling impressions, is because there’s an embargo in place until Friday about that.  Here’s what an embargo is, and only a jerk breaks one.
