I found this quiz wihch gives you driving related questions and reveals how aweful a driver you are. Turns out I’m on the upper end of an average risk (I think that’s bad but it could be worse)! Here’s how I scored:

I hope that’s average for a green P plater lol.. you can see how much of a risk you are by clicking here [via The Car Connection] (no registration required :D)

For those of you who didn’t hear, the local boys and girls in blue have a new car to hoon around in. Loaned from Holden, the new fleet consits entirely of the fuel wasting Hummer H3. Have times become so bad that the Police need a vehicle which has relations to the deadly High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HUMVEE, which the original Hummer H1 is based upon)? Just to remind everybody, here’s a picture of the Hummer H1:

Terrifying. Want to see what our Police are going to be driving around in, striking fear into those who dare to defy the law?

It’s definately… interesting? OK, I’ll admit it’s a bit of a disappointment after hearing the police will be driving Hummers, but it’s to raise awareness of police presense which it’ll easily do. You can read a bit more over at The Age, or hit “continue reading” below to see more images.

It’s a good thing this is just a prototype at the moment, or the urge to waste money on useless cool stuff would be hard to resist. The “Wing Man” as Rory Craig (the designer of the seat) calls it is going to be pitched to the famous racing seat company Sparco. Here’s hoping it get’s approval and makes it into production.

I know I don’t usually make two posts in a row with video content, but I couldn’t help myself. I present some very disturbing clips I had lieing around on a DVD; from a collection of commercials to motorshow footage and rare footage of the Torana GTR-X Concept car in testing and development. First up is the hilarious commercials compilation, with more on ‘continue reading’.

It was about time I uploaded something to youtube. I present a video I was given on DVD a long time ago, which was originally given out to the press and embargo’d until the proper release. It’s a rare video of the development of the 2001+ Holden Monaro (aka GTO and VXR depending on where you live), as well as featuring footage of the development of the Holden Adventra

Look out for the Adventra mule with a VX front end, which I’ve never seen or heard of anywhere in my life except this video!

I don’t understand what this website says and I don’t have time to translate it, but what I do know is that GTR World has some pictures of the Nissan 370Z out and about in what appears to be publicity photos from Nissan themselves (or not).

Clicky to check them out with text I can’t understand here, or hit the link below to view the images mirrored on DARKCOLD until the internet breaks. I can’t wait to start seeing these things on the road!
