Snow Leopard has Naked Lady on it

This is a very nice shot of the snow leopard but it is not used in any of the Apple promotional shots...

"Why?!" you might ask...
That's because there's a naked lady in there. A very hot and sexy one too...

You can't see her? She's right there, completely nude! Still can't see her? Look closer...


No?

Anaconda Crushes Bus

Another really cool ad. This was done for the Copenhagen Zoo...

Why the Fuck do you have a kid?

Looks like one of our locals picture got taken and was submitted on the 20th of September...
So dangerous.



Most befitting for the title of the site. "Why the Fuck do you have a kid.com"

FD2 Civic Type-R, Rest in Peace...

UPDATE : According to safetyofficer0000, it is a genuine Type R. To be honest, it really doesn't matter to me because I am just relaying the information that was given to me. I am not implying it is or isn't. I do not know the victims nor have I seen or met them.

UPDATE : Just got an SMS from a Steven Kok. He says that it's not a Type R but a 1.8 Civic. It happened on their way to paintball session. This is confirmed by Wayne Kok who is a friend of the victims of the accident. Wayne said ;
"He is not the driver... He putih putih die one... Sit at rear passenger seat.... The driver not very close to him one somemore.... He died the driver like nothing... Its actually the driver fault cause the tyre botak d... Anyway its just a civic Tyre R wannabe.... Not real Tyre R... See the rotor u will understand... 3rd car totaled by the same sohai driver"
This is very sad to hear.

junl00ng shared a link to this forum with all of us... I don't read Mandarin though. Condolences goes out to the family of the person who lost his/her life.

Drive safe people. It's really not worth it.

Where it happened.

Terrible.

Two killed in freak car mishap at shopping mall in Kota Baru
By SYED AZHAR


KOTA BARU: Two shoppers were killed after a runaway car in an open air parking lot of a mall smashed through a retaining wall before plunging down three stories onto an escalator.

Another shopper was seriously injured in the freak accident that occurred at 4.45pm when the mall in Jalan Hamzah was packed with weekend patrons.

Nurain Said, who was driving the car when it plunged, miraculously survived the 54m fall.

The dead have been identified as trainee nurses Siti Nuramira Shamsuddin, 19, and Siti Nurdiana Azman, 18, from a local college. Both died on the spot after being hit by falling debris.

District OCPD Asst Comm Zahruddin Abdullah said the first driver of the car – identified only as Sabri – had earlier got out of the vehicle, which had stalled at the parking lot.

He said Sabri then told his 17-year-old sister Nurain to get behind the wheel while he pushed the car in an attempt to jumpstart the engine.

ACP Zahruddin said while Sabri was pushing the car, the engine suddenly started, causing the car to lunge forward and smash into the retaining wall, which also served as the building’s ventilation airway.

He said Siti Nuramira who was on the second floor of the building and Siti Nurdiana who was standing on the ground floor, close to the escalator, could have died after being crushed by concrete debris.

Pinched Pimped BlackBerry Bold 9000

Aaron got my dad the Bold 9700 from the UK so I pinched my dad's old Bold 9000 since he wasn't using it anymore. Having being used for quite some time now, it was quite worn out. So, Aaron took it to Low Yat to get it refreshed and repaired. It came out looking pretty nice.




So, I popped by Digital Mall to get a Digi Smart Plan for BlackBerry as it only costs RM58 a month for unlimited use and you pay as you go for calls and sms.

Will use it and see if I like it. If I do like it, perhaps I will get myself a Bold 9700...

Alex's old White BNR34 (Part 3)

Power modifications took place soon after...

Yesterday i had some nothing to do on customercars,so i dicided to do something on my GTR,time for some extra power

I had a complete build engine with fine Tomei parts and GT 2860-5´s sitting for nearly half a year on my enginestand,it was time to put it in now

Enginespec is as followed:

-R34 RB26 Block
-R34 RB26 Crank (fully lightened and balanced)
-Tomei Pistons
-Tomei Conrods (original,not ebay tomei´s)
-Tomei Gaskets
-Tomei Valvesprings
-Tomei Poncams
-Tomei Camshaft pulleys
-Head Inlet&Outlet flow-optimised
-ACL Bearings
-ARP Studs
-N1 Waterpump
-Trust Oilpump
-Nismo Oilpanbaffle
-Garrett GT2860-5 Turbos
-Tomei Turbine outlets
-RC 750cc Injectors
-Nismo Airflowsensors
-Greddy Alloy Inletsystem with open filters
-Greddy Oilcooler with relocationkit for nice oiltemps
-uprated Fuelpump is on the way..

Thats most of the parts of the engine,power will be sent to the gearbox with a new Twinplate ATS/Carbonetics carbonclutch,that i use in all my cars,best clutch ever build . Ecu is still the Apexi PowerFC that i use since having the car,so this needs just a remap

should be good for around 600hp,and that was the goal.

Have taken a lot of pics,will upload them soon,as i dont have the camera here at home.

best regards
Alex

If i would have not done it now,i would have not done it anytime












After i cleaned the enginebay with some special cleaner to remove all (and i mean all) dirt from the years

The car was never really dirty,but over the years the engineroom begins to get some dark shadows in the corners,here and there some dark lines in the sealings etc.... Now its has "like new" condition again!





In a short period of time, Alex decided to let go of this beautiful machine.

Looks like my V-spec II is sold next week,will miss it for sure,as its a beautiful car,powerful handles very good and sounds awesome,but it will go in good,careful hands

Will be replaced very soon with something japanese,color will be white(as usual),6 speed and AWD........we will see..


Hmm, I wonder...


Andres came all the way from Switzerland to take a couple of shots before she is in the hands of her new owner.









But then, something happened....

...today is a bad day for my Skyline....




I told him 20 times when i gave him the car + half an hour befor the crash not to go fast with the car,as it will end in a crash 100%.

Youll need practise in that sort of car + driving a RHD for the first time "fast" is not that easy as most people think. Im pretty sure it was a problem don´t knowing how the car reacts,i dont know any exact details of the crash,but what he told me it was on a road where the accident happend there is a "silent-tarmac"(dont know if thats the right name for it) and where its a bit slipery when its wet. He knows that from his evo,so why in the world doesnt he slow down a bit,i mean i drove the Z06 yesterday evening in very heavy rain over 150km and didn´t crash it,as i was not going fast(80km/h on the Autobahn). Can´t understand it,as the GTR handled so perfect,i would say 300% better then the Z06(which is a useless car in rainy conditions)......


The sad thing is that i took care of it so much just to see it in pieces 3 hours after it was sold......it did get 5-10 stonechips from me,which you could not see............but crashing a car after 3 hours is hard,especially as i told the new owner to go slow (around 25min befor the crash) or he will end up crashing in the next 30minutes......

Hope this makes people think if they need to go fast in a car they just bought and dont know how it handles.......

I had a great time with it,was an awesome car in perfect condition,no rust,no bad points....nearly like new

basicly thats what happend,he wanted my GTR and had a 08 Z06,so i bought his Z06 and part exchanged my GTR + a little money on top...he came to me and collected the GTR friday morning around 8 o´clock,we the did money thing and checked all the papers of both cars,then i showed him the GTR and explained everything as good as possible....befor he left i told him to go slow and safe as he never drove RHD befor........at around 11.30 o´clock he left with the GTR and drove home to Luxembourg..at around 14 o´clock he called me from Trier(around 300km) and said the car is very quick,nearly drove over an GT3 as he pushed the pedal down on the autobahn............I told him to go slow or the car will be damaged in the next 30 minutes and that he cant have controll over the car after such a short time...

24minutes after that,he called me and told me he had a crash...



OUCH!
Fortunately, it was already sold when it happened. Alex has since then gotten something else to cure his GT-R itch. Till then... (^_^)\/

The Karate Kid

A remake of a classic?

Staring Will Smith's son, Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan.



12-year-old Dre Parker could've been the most popular kid in Detroit, but his mother's latest career move has landed him in China. Dre immediately falls for his classmate Mei Ying - and the feeling is mutual - but cultural differences make such a friendship impossible. Even worse, Dre's feelings make an enemy of the class bully, Cheng. In the land of kung fu, Dre knows only a little karate, and Cheng puts "the karate kid" on the floor with ease. With no friends in a strange land, Dre has nowhere to turn but maintenance man Mr. Han, who is secretly a master of kung fu. As Han teaches Dre that kung fu is not about punches and parries, but maturity and calm, Dre realizes that facing down the bullies will be the fight of his life. (Source: Yahoo!)


Wait.... China?! Kung Fu? So where the heck did the Karate part come from? More like Wu Shu, no?

The car still hadn't been properly registered yet but that didn't stop him from snapping away.

These ones shot in a parking garage are just beautiful...








Some night time outdoor shots.





Some pics after the plates are on,not happy with the size of the front plate,this is the only place where it doesn´t harm the airflow,normaly i would like the other side(very far left,so the police doesn´t have the number on when they take pictures),but ok,i have the Trust oilcooler,and that will go behind the left airintake.



Can you say, 'cat-less'. *laughs*
