Great story. I sort of had a heart break knowing how awful it is after 80 MPG. Is it really that bad during highway cruise?

Perhaps the indigenous group wanted to say War Monger but as with the ‘Stralyan accent, and especially of the past. Warrunmunga caught on.

War Monger.

Even more so, where can you go from the Veyron? I think it is at the limit of what’s currently possible in physics and technology so advances had to be slim. Even other automakers fighting for greater numbers will run into a wall. SO Bugatti, imo should focus on stuff beyond that wall.

CEO to Designer: “We want the car to look like its doing 200 MPH while stationary!”.

We were invited to Audi A8’s launch event in Pakistan and in stead of just writing a press release of the car, I reviewed (negative-ish) the overall event, host, dinner, and the car too...and ever since, Audi Pakistan hasn’t talked to us. They don’t even send us details of upcoming car launches...

Sean, I am a total noob at bikes but I just adore the Ducati, it is my ambition to take it to the Karakoram highway from Karachi. And the 899 was a really good option for me since I am a noob. Have like total of 20 minutes ride time on motorcycles all my life. But I have a lot of time on road trips, etc. You must have…

Looks awesome. A windscreen and a leather roof for some road trips to the track or elsewhere. I think we might have a great driver’s car here.

Hey Tyler, why say ‘French-born’, why not just say French? It makes it read like French aren’t capable of being criminal. This must be someone who had a French passport and nothing else. Just curious.

The whole world is more at threat because of the United States frankly. Anywhere you go, the US has poked in their nose ‘to pursue their own interests’. All those countries are doing pretty good. Remember when GCC came to Pakistan for help in Yemen, we strictly said no and even told them that you went there in haste…

heh. We mostly off-road in these oldies. Easy to fix, prepare, off road, capable, than the new lot of electronic items we call 4x4s.

Did you know, that most American cars loose their value real quick in the middle-east. My brother just sold his mint 2013 V6 Charger at just 75,000 AED from 130K. Granted, its not much than the usual depreciation but he had to wait quite a while to find a good buyer.
Anyways, the Ford Explorer though, be it Bahrain or…

I love how the 4C looks but I don’t like how this looks. The front end seems like the designer had a tetris OCD. It isn’t something that won’t grow on me, but I don’t like the looks of it, especially the front.

I think the same applies to almost all products, including vehicles. Concepts are mostly marketing bullshit IMO. I also think that even though your point stands, but bikes are one of the least disturbed products from the concept, especially when you compare it to a car’s concept-to-production form.

I am sure I have shared this post a few years ago on Oppo but anyways, I’ll share it again.

That looks harcore but heavy as well...any thoughts on that steel mill on wheels?

I have no idea how they got here in Pakistan. But Jeeps are so popular here that now, you can build one here from scratch. It is actually used by the poor folks as a convenience to bring supplies to villages, as taxis, as buses, as leisure off-road vehicle and what not.

B&N link no worky and will it be available as a hard-copy? And will you send it to me here?

That’s all great but getting out and engaging the hublocks, and using just gears and your feets was a truly joyous and personal experience. Now, its like you have hired accountants...

I’ll swap in the Lexus interior in this, and just go about exploring draped in luxury.
