Altezzas for your Altezza :)

Random stupid rambling of the day...



What do you need to finish that awesome Altezza project you've got on? A set of Altezza's for your Altezza's of course.





They actually look quite neat I reckon.

Anyhow, just using this opportunity to remind everyone that All Japan Day is on tomorrow on 28th Feb 2010 at Glenelg Wigley Reserve.

Who on earth would do this to a lambo?

Seriously, what must be going through this guys head?  Turning a Lambo into a Mustang?   Big massive fail!

Lexus to debut the new CT-200h - worlds first premium sports hatch hybrid

Lexus to debut the new CT-200h - worlds first premium sports hatch hybrid .. god that's a mouthful.

Yeah looks like this bad boy's going on show in early March at the Geneva Motorshow, Lexus are a bit cagey with actual figures like horsepower and weight figures.  But what we do know is that it'll be based on their second (or third i forget now) generation hybrid synergy system, and will feature full electric driving.  But the real question is how much torque will this bolt on motor have to make the drive satisfying?

Mazda RX7 concept

What do you all think of this RX7 mockup... looks like they swallowed an RX8 and chopped off a couple of rear doors to me.


Hopefully they'll be able to cram in a nice turbocharged renesis motor into that thing :)

Sorry for going AWOL on you all :)

Just posting to say, sorry going AWOL on you all... i'll try to update the car blog more often.. doing the usual stuff like talking crap about cars, the scene etc.

Thinking of a new url for this blog... so far i've come up with
lrcvipdivision.blogspot.com

Which is a play on our little car social group name LRC (don't ask me what it stands for, only charlie over at lrcrx7.wordpress.com knows), and a future branch we're starting.. well i'm starting (heh) called the VIP Division.. which takes it's name from the VIP styling sub-culture in Japanese automotive.
