]]>Smaller teams will again be forced to fight from the back row if some sort of limit is not placed on engine costs.
]]>One interesting project would be the old military jeeps from Volkswagen called the iltis which was produced in Germany and in Canada.
The design is pretty simple except for some tricks in the four wheel drive department. Old parts are easy to find on the internet. The iltis vehicle would not be great for really cold climates not matter what people would tell you. The design was mostly for military use so comfort was not the first concern. If you switch out some basic iltis parts you can make some improvements but at the end of the day you still end up with a military vehicle.
]]>The technology behind the cars is really incredible when you compare it something like your everyday care. Sure some features have made the move over with braking systems.
What would be great is if some of the technology made it over to the military troops fighting overseas. Forget about the average car consumer. We really don’t need to go any faster and if everyone does not drive like a maniac our cars are safe enough unless you end up driving beside some 18 wheeler truck driver who is zoned out on no-doze pills.
So its all the different military forces that should be using the latest and greatest F1 equipment improvements. The Canadian forces recently got an upgrade in their standard recon Military Vehicles that they use to patrol. Now the soldiers do not get blown to bits if they hit a landmine. Thats one big improvement for the troops.
But what about if they had some other improvements. One standard F1 feature that should be ported over is the acceleration. I’m sure the soldiers would like to have some F1 speed to extract themselves from situations when they find themselves under fire.
]]>The commericla was scheduled to be filmed right around this time but I have not found any updated information.
What is interesting is the money involved. Shell announced that the commercial would cost over 2 million British pounds making it one of the most expensive commericals ever filmed. Think about that next time to pull into a Shell station to fill up your tank.
Besides London the commercial will show a Ferrari being driven in New York City and Sydney, Australia. Its scheduled to air in March of this year.
]]>The problem with shopping for anything like a motorcycle or four wheel vehicle is driving around to all the dealers in your area to get some pricing info. While you can research all the details about the models online when its time to buy you need more help.
When you are researching new models its very important that you have accurate 2007 atv comparison pricing at your fingertips. With the right information you can determine if the prices that you are being quoted are fair. Once you have the pricing info you can start looking at other factors such as service.
In many past adventures on the pricing front I’ve seen prices that differ between 20 or 30 per cent between the exact same model on ATV units. Make sure you shop around online and instore before you drop the cash.
]]>The big news is that Bahrain’s Mumtalakat Holding Company has bought 30 per cent of the team. That 30 per cent is split between two parts that were owned by Ron Dennis and Saudi investor, Mansour Ojjeh. The new ownership structure means that Dennis and Ojjeh now own 15 per cent each, the Bahrain company owns 30 per cent and DaimlerChrysler 40 per cent.
Dennis and Ojjeh reported netted about 100 million US dollars for their 15 per cent shares which actually seems to be on the low side of what the team should be worth.
So what does it all mean. Well Dennis has kept hinting and joking that he wants to retire. Really he wants to leave the day to day operations to someone else. He just wants to hang out at the races and enjoy the good live something that he deserves after all his hardwork. Let everyone else worry. One problem. He does not want to retire a loser and he’s pretty much said that in interviews.
He has now set up the team to win this season. Alonso is the man to get the job done and Dennis made sure he got his man. Plus he said that the Maclaren team will debt free by sometime this season. Alonso’s just keeps attracting new sponsors to the team so I’m sure that timeline will be meet very quickly. So he’s set everything up to win on the track and leave the team in a great business shape.
Now he just needs everyone on the team to deliver the goods on race day.
]]>While searching out some information about all the new models I found this Volkswagen Forum which had plenty of information on the current models and some of the older ones.
My search for the ultimate car involves the quest for Formula One handling and the budget of a low end, second hand karting unit. So the Audi and BMers went out the window pretty fast. Didn’t even visit the dealer lots.
So it was time to look at the germans. For information about the Volkswagen Passat the article on the Volkswagen forum helped me find out about the new 2007 wagon. While the car seems to fit the bill its that price tag that is still killing my purchase plan. No matter what financing deal they throw my way it does not work out. I might as well have been looking for my Paris Dakar ready for action Touareg model. Its was working out to the same price but I was trying to get a lower price just because the Touareg is so ugly. Plus you can barely pronounce the name.
It does not matter whats under the hood in all situations, sometimes you have to look at the outside when you’re buying a car and the Volkswagen Touareg really needs some more work in that department. But than again I’m not some german Volks/Porsche car designer living the good life in the Black Forest. Yes I think its time to find an old Volks Fox wagen, that might fit in the budget.
