In 1965 my late father in law, an engineer by trade and a mechanic by inclination, was the owner of an immaculate, black Rover 100. He spent the weekends 'tinkering' with the engine. That was in the days when cars lasted for ever and scrappage schemes for a mere 10yr.old vehicles would have been met with derision. Click to continue reading...

Quit partying or you'll get it! Players at Argentine outfit Godoy Cruz found threats painted on their cars yesterday after their third successive defeat led to the sacking of coach Diego Cocca. The graffiti politely suggested the squad might like a few quiet nights in. The threats said: "You got the coach sacked to go on partying. Click to continue reading...

Another headline that's surely never been written in the history of the English language.
This story takes us to Scotland, where it turns out a bunch of Aberdeen fans were dressed as sheep as they rode the train to an upcoming soccer match against Hibs in Edinburgh.
One unfortunate 24-year-old dude was apparently set alight and ran through the cars with his sheep-suit engulfed in flames. Click to continue reading...

Forget for a minute how played "Cars" is, that Gary Numan is 51 years old & wearing black nail polish and that Trent Reznor's sweaty ass is probably only one drip into his keyboard away from electrocuting himself on stage. What I'm feeling from this is the roving on-stage camera; it almost makes you feel like you are part of the band except for the fact that you won't get check or a groupie for watching this.

Manchester City midfielder Nigel de Jong has revealed that he has considered a career in motor racing.

"I was always into cars as a kid," the Dutchman revealed. "It started with my grandfather. He worked for Ford for 40 years and every two years he would come home with a new car. I used to go to the factory to see the new models when they were coming out.

Some you win.
And some you lose.
I do feel a frisson of patriotic spirit starting to build inside me.
I remember when my lover and I first started 'stepping out' together.
One of our earliest conversations comprised my lover listening to a diatribe from me about the awfulness of tying England flags to cars. Click to continue reading...

I looked back at one of my old blog posts called, "Amanda Vandervort's Top 8 SEO Sites," and realize what a rookie I was. While the post certainly has merit, it was less about SEO and more about tools that can help you create an effective website I still use these tools with frequency so if you want to check out the post, it's still a good resource.

Attached is a great article about how and why the United States develops some of the world's best goalkeepers.
Americans know how to do a few things quite well. We can deep-fry the hell out of anything, we can make bigger cars than anybody, and, oh yeah, we produce some fine goalkeeping talent. Click to continue reading...

Pakistan are victorious! And all Pakistan fans' cars seem to have working horns. Tooting is ablaze with noise.

I used to think 20-20 was an abomination. I was very wrong. What a great game they've come up with. (Of course, it's exactly the game many of us played every summer Wednesday while growing up, but it's nice to see the old midweek slogs being played by experts.

Just got back home last night after spending ten days in a hotel for the 17CCEM. The whole thing was wonderful but tiring because of the tight schedule. I was always on the move and got to go to bed only at around two everyday.

I had the privilege to be assigned with the delegates from the Kingdom of Lesotho.

It was six years in the making and millions of pounds over budget but the new Wembley still cuts in impressive figure on the London skyline.

Milan's very own players were the subject of an Italian humor programme, "Striscia La Notizia", when most of their cars were caught breaking the 30km/h speed limit upon leaving Milanello! Of course hombres didn't go all out like Vin Diesel and co' but Thiago Silva's 74km/h clearly suggested that he wanted to get home real quickly.

Like Arsenal's season, my blogging has tailed off.

I did catch most of yesterday's 0-0 with Man Utd, a better than average goalless draw that we bossed without really threatening to win.

As has been pointed out most vocally by Wenger himself, one of the unexpected side effects of what has been a disappointing season is the barracking from the home crowd.

In an attempt to right the good ship General Motors, another once proud brand has fallen. Alongside my beloved Oldsmobile, the former 'We Build Excitement' automaker drops into the shadows and brings with it some of the most endearing names in car history. GTO, Parisienne, Star Chief, Bonneville, Gran Am, Firebird, and of course Trans Am. Click to continue reading...

While battling the blues, Hade and I took time out from our usual evening schedule to go outdoors last night. We went to Islington, where I work, and saw Jim White at Union Chapel.

And yes, it really is a chapel. You go in, get your hand stamped, nip upstairs where a choice of noodles or quiche is available at £5 a throw (proceeds to a homeless charity), sit in a back room and eat that and drink some beer, then head back down to the chapel for the main event (no beer in the chapel).

I admit it... that used to be me every time the ol' PC started going goofy and I had no clue how to make it stop. I'm not what one would call overly computer savvy. I know computers like I know cars - I know only what I've had to fix. But today, as I continued to struggle for techno-normalcy for the second day in a row, I thought of some recent sage advice from my dear friend Ami: "Just say. Click to continue reading...
