Nissan Qashqai - unique in name, unique by nature

The Nissan QASHQAI flaunts conventions and creates all of its own guidelines to create a unique driving experience that screams out individuality and creativity. It is a car with the ideal blend of styling and practicality and is the perfect vehicle for the urban driver who likes to be geared up and ready for anything.

Enhanced motoring design

The first notable feeling inside the Qashqai is the light and airy design that is a significant contributor to the pervading good looks of the vehicle. It has plenty of window and interior space that tends to create an open feeling when driving. In fact, the driver enjoys excellent visibility as a result of the high seating position, combined with a short-reach gear-shift and the soft panel lighting which enhances the driving experience both day and night. As an additional bonus buttons on the steering wheel control both the integrated Bluetooth and audio system which adds to the comfort of both the driver and his or her passengers.

How to make your car safer by Improving the shock absorbers

As an enthusiastic driver I really value my car being crisp and responsive in its' handling, braking and road-holding behavior. The value I place on good handling is my top motoring priority and to that end I have had a " love affair " with shock absorbers, springs, rack and pinion steering, upgraded bushes and brakes, since I was a teenager. A soggy sloppy suspension is a major turnoff due to the lack of response one suffers. This passion for improved performance started when I was teenager in the days of the iconic Aussie car built by General Motors, the 48/215 or FJ model, from 1948 to 1953, and culminating in meeting the magnificent Bilstein Monotube Gas Pressure Shock Absorbers in the mid 1970's when setting up a Peugot 504 Injection model for car club events. I believe the saying, when you find a good product, is " Hooked For Life ". It's about 35 years, so far!

The 1250 horsepower supercar you never heard of Zenvo ST1

What has four wheels, more than 1,000 horsepower, and costs more than $1 million? Wrong. It's not a Bugatti Veyron. Wrong again. It's not the Lamborghini Sesto Elemento. Strike three. It's not the Koenigsegg Agera R. It is, in fact, the super car that you've never heard of: The Zenvo ST1

Zenvo automotive was formed by Jesper Jensen and Troels Vollertsen, where the company name is a combination of their names. Founded in 2004, it took Zenvo only 4 years to come out with a working prototype, followed shortly by the production of the Zenvo ST1 in 2009. Only 15 cars will be built and sold to pre-approved customers. The Zenvo ST1 goes for a cool $1.8 million USD, but don't worry, Zenvo throws in a "free" $50,000 watch with the purchase of 1 of only 15 cars.
