A1 TEAM MALAYSIA SET TO SWAP SPANNERS FOR PAINTBRUSHES
October 30, 2008
A1 Team Malaysia is set to take on one of its biggest challenges since winning at Zandvoort earlier this month. The team will be putting down their spanners and picking up paintbrushes for a new project as part of the A1 Team Malaysia Outreach programme, the team’s social responsibility arm.
The Malaysian A1GP team has agreed to help Shelter, providing a replacement roof at one of the charities’ care homes followed by repairing and redecorating the inside and outside of the building. The roof work will be carried out by specialists, with the additional work being undertaken by volunteers from the team and its supporters.
The mechanics, engineering, administrative and marketing personnel from A1 Team Malaysia will all be helping out with this project providing practical assistance in the repair and redecoration of the building, while the team’s commercial partners are lending additional support including help with transportation from Mayflower Travel, and drink supplies from Yeo’s and Spritzer water.

October 30, 2008
We’ve just received these official pictures from Marketingworks, Nissan’s marketing partner based in the US. Forget about the past renderings and dodgy photochops, these are probably the most updated and official pictures of the New Fairlady Z, dubbed the 370Z which is suspected to be powered by Nissan’s updated 3.7litre V6.
These new sharp boomerang-ish front and taillights is where Nissan is heading now with similar applications to the new Nissan Maxima.
The New Nissan “370Z” has matured into the more retro-styled European coupe with its edgier rear-end and classic BMW M Coupe catapulting, squatting stance made more apparent with its updated windows and cleaner side profile. Read more

Video: Lamborghini Donates It’s LP560-4 To Italian Highway Police
October 27, 2008
Lamborghini recently donated a ‘coped-out’ version of its Gallardo 560-4 to the Lazio Highway Police Department. It’s all very kind of them really and the 30 coppers lucky enough to get in the cockpit nevermind drive this thing surely wouldn’t be looking for Fiat 500’s and Panda’s to pull over, they’ll be looking for the bigger fish. Maybe the Scuderia’s from Maranello, or the Zonda’s, or even it’s own Sant’Agata siblings, but whatever the case is, it’ll suck to have its lights flashing in your rear view mirror. It’s one thing looking at pictures of it, but another thing actually hearing it. Now is a good time to thank god that our local Police only use lousy Protons, well most of them anyway, we dread the day we see them in one of this.
