Most of you who are really into the GTR scene already know about the recent first ever GTR crash. You may not know that it happened in Hong Kong on Wah Shun Street in a place called Hung Hom on Kowloon Island. Regardless of where in the world it happened, no one should be allowed to drive a car, or any car for that manner, like the Nissan GTR if they dont plan on driving it with respect of local road laws, peoples lives or the car. If the driver of the GTR was reckless when he was behind the wheel of the GTR then he shouldn’t be allowed to drive another car till he proves he’s earned the right to do so again. If it was purely an accident then at least we know the GTR protects its passengers very well. But considering the amount of damage to the front end of the car in the pictures below, the driver must have been going pretty fast when he crashed.

Why the Nissan Frontier Navara is Too Late
Last December 10 2007 the Nissan Frontier Navara was debuted with much fanfare at the Rizal Ballroom of Shangri-La Makati. Present at the occasion was Universal Motor Corporation’s Executive Vice President Elizabeth H. Lee along with other executives and “up-town” guests. Now as much as we love having a new vehicle released by Nissan here in the Philippines and as much as we enjoy watching our favorite car brand do well, we can’t help but feel that there really isn’t much to celebrate about.

2008 Tata Nano, Would it Benefit the Philippines?
The cheapest car on earth is from India, a country where the motorcycle is just as popular as in China and where a large percentage of fatalities are attributed to train accidents. The Tata Nano is aimed squarely at this country’s motorcycle riding populace. The Nano will be produced in India and will have a bare minimum of equipment. You won’t get an aircon, power-windows or power steering. The dashboard instrumentation only comes with a speedometer, oil light and fuel gauge. Under the hood is a gasoline powered 623cc engine producing a leisurely 33 horsepower. A four speed manual transmission is standard and the little car can attain a top speed of 105 km/h. And by little we mean 3.1 meters long by 1.5 meters wide. Small as it may be you can fit 4 people inside – comfortably, we hope.

85 Year-Old Caught for Street Racing
An 85 year-old resident of Toronto Canada was caught by Police for speeding. The man was fined for doing 161 kilometers per hour on a main highway where the speed limit was only 100 km/h. The reason for his speeding? The elderly man told police he was going to the bank and planned to go shopping. Maybe he was in a rush to get to an Apple store sale – the iPhone is a hot item nowadays!
