IF YOU WERE running a list of news headlines you were expecting to see today – that probably wasn’t one of them.
It’s true: according to Mitsubishi Motors New Zealand General Sales and Marketing Manager Peter Wilkins, goats - like the Triton - are “hardy, versatile units which will integrate directly into existing farm operations,” and [...]
Motor racing: for the drivers who line up on the grid it’s all about the potential glory. Finishing a clean race at the head of the pack is the ultimate goal.
Of course there’s also plenty of scope for things to go wrong. It can be downright dangerous, and sometimes just plain embarrassing, like this little [...]
We’ve all seen them lurking outside supermarkets and inside shopping centres, and odds are most of us have ridden one at some stage in our lives. But does a kid-size fibreglass Postman Pat van have what it takes be be a practical road-going vehicle?
We’d say no, but Englishman Perry Watkins has taken the plunge anyway [...]
Certain thieves in the US city of Los Angeles might think they’ve won big, but they couldn’t be further from the truth.
One of the Nissan R34 Skyline GT-R replicas driven by Paul Walker in the most recent instalment of the Fast & Furious franchise has been stolen from a warehouse in California, the thieves also [...]
So, you’ve got the spinning rims, the exhaust whistle, the under-body neons, the chrome (on everything) and the non-functional bonnet scoop, and you figure there’s nothing left to be done to utterly ruin improve your ride’s style.
Well, you’d be wrong.
Auto Indulgence, the mob responsible for the system on the recently rebooted and even more recently [...]
According to aftermarket company Fastskinz, a vehicle’s fuel economy can be improved by transforming it into a big, oddly-shaped golf ball.
Operating on the premise that in the same way a golf ball’s dimpled surface improves its aerodynamic efficiency, a perforated vinyl layer applied to a vehicle will reduce wind resistance and similarly improve its aerodynamics. [...]
Being a fuel economy technical expert for Ford North America has given this engineer the chops needed to develop his own ultra-economical vehicle, which he has titled the ‘HyperRocket’.
Shaped like an old jet fuselage sans wings, the HyperRocket is powered by a 250cc four-stroke motorcycle engine and weighs in at 229kg – not much more [...]
‘Shotgun’. Once upon a time, back in the horse and cart days, it was the responsibility of the person ‘riding shotgun’ to fend off would-be robbers and other unfriendly sorts.
Over time, with the introduction of automobiles, the ‘shotgun’ role moved to the passenger seat of both police and criminal vehicles, as the crooks fought it [...]
Sara Watson, an art student at the University of Lancashire in the UK, has doomed us all. Having devised a way to turn a Skoda Fabia invisible, it’s only a matter of time until the Klingons discover her creation and invade Earth to steal the technology.
Wait, wait, I’m being told it is in fact just [...]
Trying to think of just the right combination of registration plate letters and numbers to stick it to the world? You’ll need to get creative, but it seems it’s not impossible.
While the likes of “SNATCH”, “ORGASM” and “MURDA” failed to make it through the registration process at Victoria’s VicRoads offices, more than a few clever [...]
Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but you’ve got to wonder just how many people would describe the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 999 Red Gold Dream as anything other than an abomination.
Swiss designer Ueli Anliker is the man behind this intriguing creation and claims to have spent more than 30,000 man hours on [...]
Ew. Talking about poo is always a sure-fire way to end a conversation quicksmart, but discussing a better way to evacuate it from your bowels is just a whole new level of dirty.
But that’s exactly what’s on the mind of designer Nelson Ayala, who designed this motorcycle-inspired toilet to promote better bathroom hygiene. The idea [...]
If the morning commute to work has left you a wee bit depressed, then 308 fellow commuters, sans clothing, might be enough to cheer you up on your way to the daily grind.
That’s just what happened in London this week as the public transit system was flooded with a mob of nudes equipped with little [...]
Japanese tuning house Impulse - specialists in tuning the the enthusiast-favourite AE86 Toyota Corolla - recently posted this footage of a one-make race that sees one poor ‘Hachi’ literally punted off the track. In backyard cricket terms, we’re talking ‘over the fence and out’.
Loved for its light weight and excellent balance, the ‘Hachi Roku’ (Japanese [...]
Most manufacturers like to put on a bit of a show when unveilling their special models, making a real event out of the affair. You can imagine, then, the extent a supercarmaker will go to for that extra ‘wow’ factor.
For the 2009 Shanghai Auto Show, Porsche invited the press to the 94th floor of the [...]
Watching this video, I’m reminded of the film Cool Runnings and the unlikely but hilarious line: “Jamaica’s got a bobsled team”. Perhaps, then, this is the sequel, featuring a team of enterprising young Saudis aiming for gold on the ice at the next Winter Olympics.
Some fairly crazy videos have come out of the Middle East [...]
Last week, we showed you an image that saw civil war break out in the German auto industry, with Audi firing a shot across the bow of the good ship BMW, immediately followed by a retaliatory shot from the Bimmer dreadnought.
As we suspected it might, Audi has responded with its ultimate weapon: the Audi R8.
Rather [...]
As you’ve no doubt already heard (you DO read TMR obsessively, right?) Ford’s evergreen Mustang is celebrating its 45th birthday this year.
Fans of the original pony car are already gathering around the USA to pay tribute to the car, but one well-wisher is more than a little unexpected. Hyundai Motor America just put up this [...]
Need the approval of your local thugs? There’s no better way than to pull up on your “more than you can afford, pal” BMW K1300R and rip a burnout.
Soon, you’ll be riding alongside the gang’s boss-man, his girlfriend (of the day) blowing kisses and winking at your leather-clad self from the passenger seat. But you [...]
This is an awkward news item, for me. You see, my friends read TMR (they just like to pick out my typos), and more than a few of them drive early Mazda MX-5s. What’s awkward about that, you wonder? Only that I’m always giving them stick for driving little haidressers cars.
So to have the internationally [...]
It looks like another advertising war is flaring up in the media between Audi and BMW. This time, Audi US has fired the first shot from a Californian trench in the form of the all-new 2009 Audi A4, provoking BMW with the billboard line, “Your move, BMW.”
Clearly an invitation too good to pass up, BMW has fired back with [...]
So you work in the city, live in the ‘burbs, and can’t stand public transport? Hey, I hear you. I’ve got no problem with wanting to save the environment, but I’m no ‘train-sardine’ chum.
Still, driving into the city in the morning is no picnic either. You’ve got the comfort of your own car in the [...]
Broken something important and your wheels aren’t quite pointing the direction they should? A minor inconvenience no doubt, but don’t call that tow truck - just do what this Middle Eastern gentleman did and drive away!
Sure, it might affect tyre wear but at least other road users will appreciate you brightening up their day with [...]
The mantle of ‘man’s best friend’ has always been a bitterly-fought competition between canines and cars. Honda has stepped in with an olive branch of sorts, devising a way for the two to co-exist in harmony.
At the 2009 New York Auto Show, Honda has unveiled a ‘Dog Friendly’ edition of its Element SUV. The [...]
Toyota’s AW11 MR2, produced from 1984 to 1989, has always been a love-hate thing for me. It is at once sporty looking and ridiculously boxy, with nary a curved surface to be seen.
Being a product of the boxy ol’ 80s, it’s not hard to see that some owners might grow bored with their AW11 – [...]
Residents of inner-Melbourne suburb Richmond will be familiar with the location pictured above – and some intimately so – but this is a scene that will forever be burned into the memory of one unlucky Mercedes-Benz S500 owner.
According to witnesses, the driver lost control of the Merc while turning right from Brunton Avenue into Punt [...]
One of the more eccentric theories I’ve heard concerning the origin of life and the universe is that we are all nothing more than brief players in the dreams of a being so advanced that it defies description.
Of course, the fella imparting that theory was fairly smashed, and so was I, come to think of [...]
Take a note of this bloke’s name folks, we’re sure he’ll be winning himself a Darwin Award down the track.
In Michigan, a chap by the name of Victor Harris found himself attached to his Lincoln Navigator for two hours after getting his fingers stuck in the fuel filler.
Harris was about to add a fuel additive [...]
It’s a day late for us here in Oz (you know, that dateline thing), but we couldn’t resist posting up one of the more humorous April Fools gags that’s been circulating the internet.
The Kia Soul shown above is sporting the newly-developed Air Propulsion and Retardation Installation Line system (A.P.R.I.L) which allows the Soul to harness [...]
