TV/Movies › Check Out The Trailer Of The New Top Gear TV Show In America by autojosh(op): 2:38pm On Jul 05, 2017

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PeGtbQ2PFG4

Airing since 2002, with about a year’s break between each season, Top Gear has been the most watched TV show that reviews cars on the BBC channel- now it’s been called up again.

Featuring new hosts; actor William Fichtner, Top Fuel Drag Racing Champion Antron Brown and British car journalist Tom “Wookie” Ford, and a mysterious ‘The Stig‘ that has still remained under the helmet for a long time.

This year’s season is divided into eight episodes, some of which will have the Acura NSX, the Lamborghini Huracan Spyder, and the BAC Mono.

President of BBC America, Sarah Barnett said, “We are big fans of the mix of cars, credibility and charisma that adds up to the winning formula for Top Gear, and couldn’t be happier that BBCA is now the home for the franchise in the US, with Top Gear America joining the original show on our network. Bill, Antron and Wookie are serious gearheads who never take themselves too seriously. It will be quite the trip.”

The Show is set to premiere on the 30th of July on BBC. See trailer below;

Car Talk › This N930m Mercedes Silver Arrow Yacht Is A Dream Come True (photos) by autojosh(op): 12:56pm On Jul 05, 2017
The trend that got Bugatti, Aston Martin and the Lexus building matching yachts and planes has attracted Mercedes-Benz too.

Tagged the ‘Gran turismo‘ of the seas, and a distant cousin of the Benz S class, the Mercedes Silver Arrow Yacht was built to drop jaws of Mercedes-Benz lovers and critics alike.

For N930 million (£2 million), you get a 900bhp, twin diesel engines, 880 horse power, and the smoothest and noiseless cruise you’ve never imagined.

The interior is a beauty to behold, with its exquisite kitchen facilities, wine fridge, a large glass table, fully retractable side windows,and a vast glass sunroof.

And for those that look to spend weeks at sea, a push of a button retracts the glass table and out slides a king-size double bed for a night under the stars.

Car Talk › Where Is The Worst Place Your Car Has Ever Broken Down? by autojosh(op): 6:05pm On Jul 04, 2017
We put a lot of faith in our cars, but sometimes they can’t help but mess us up. Sure, the most convenient place for your car to breakdown is “Home”. However, they usually breakdown away from home.

I remember a friend who drove all the way from Yola in Adamawa State to Lagos and he didn’t have any issue until he lost a tyre after entering a pothole at Oshodi. You know what it’s like when your car Kaputs on the highway at Oshodi! “The home of obtainers”.

What about you? What is the worst place your car has ever broken down?

He also stated that by August they would have pushed out 100 units,September 1500 units and 20,000 units by December ! .

This is great news for all the very very long line of people who have deposited money to preorder the car -a thousand dollars to be precise.

Togo striker Emmanuel Adebayor adds a new Can-Am Spyder bike to his automobile collection.

The former Arsenal and Man. City striker known to be a lover of cars shows off his Can-Am Spyder trike which cost about N8m (£18,000) on Instagram.

He also met with the President of Togo Faure Essozimna Gnassingbe to discuss ways improve schools in the region.

He donated 12million CFA Franc (£16,067) for the renovation of a school in the neighbourhood in which he grew up.

”This summer is all about giving,’‘ the 33-year-old wrote on Instagram.

”I want to make this learning place clean and accessible to all young folks in the area. May God protect us on this journey.”

Car Talk › Dubai To Use Robocop Autonomous Cars To Scan Passing Cars For Criminals by autojosh(op): 5:08pm On Jul 03, 2017
Dubai is planing to deploy a fleet of self driving police cars that will scan people and identify criminals as their drive or walk on the road.

The self driving car will patrol the city on its own using biometric software to scan individuals it comes across. The officials hopes the use of the driverless car will help to detect crime easily.

The O-R3 security robot was built by OTSAW Digital, a singapore-based company. They have a laser scanner, thermal camera, HD cameras, GPS and lidar in order to navigate, and can additionally utilize these cameras for facial and license-plate recognition.

The robot vehicle is fully automated, however, humans can override the systems and easily take control of the OR-3 if necessary.

The Dubai police department has previously discussed its intention of replacing 25% of its police force with robots… and they already introduced their first robotic police officer to the force last month.

Do you believe Nigeria police will soon introduce their own? Tell us in the comment section.

Car Talk › Volvo Reveals What Future Trucks Will Look Like (photos) by autojosh(op): 5:22pm On Jun 30, 2017
One day, container trucks would drive on the street of Lagos with style. No more unlatched containers, no more falling, no emissions. Not just that, no more drivers too (good or bad?).

Self-driving trucks are taking over and they are being tested across Europe already. Instead of what you see at Apapa port today, expect to see something like this Volvo Autonomous Electric Carrier which was inked by industrial product design student, Kaan Karagoz.

He got his inspiration from a movie “Logan”.. and the Turkish student noticed the problems with manned trucks. So he decided to design a carrier with no driver which increases cargo space, making it aerodynamically efficient, more balanced and easier to maneuver. You can also load the truck from all directions instead of what we used to have that permitted loading from the rear or side only.

It will surely get to Nigeria someday. You want or Not?

Car Talk › With This Toyota Camatte Petta, Little Kids Can Now Learn To Drive by autojosh(op): 12:27pm On Jun 30, 2017
Ask any 5 year old boy if they know how to drive.. I bet you, they’ll give you a yes. Toyota is obviously aware of this and it has necessitated the launch of a special driving school, called Camatte.

The Camatte Petta mini car will enable the kids put their driving skills to test on track after learning how to use the throttle, brake, and steering on a simulator.

The kids can personalize the look of their cars, with panel designs, and colorful magnetic decals to make the body look different before they take a drive. After completing the challenge, they will be awarded with their own drivers licence, complete with photos.

This is definitely a publicity stunt which would go a long way to build brand loyalty.

Car Talk › Cadillac Escala: Reimagining The Conventions Of Luxury Automobile (photos) by autojosh(op): 11:31am On Jun 30, 2017
The Cadillac Escala – from the Spanish word for “scale” – is a reflection of Cadillac’s design evolution. Immediately apparent are the sculpted exterior lines on its large frame, giving it the appearance of gliding down the road. Inside, it features a “dual-personality” interior – transitioning from an aluminum-accented front cockpit to a wood-accented rear. A stunning combination of tech-centric innovation and handcrafted elegance, it is at once a symbol of arrival.

The Escala’s interior is assembled with hand cut-and-sewn techniques. But it also offers several unique new touches that display its grandeur, like an innovative one-piece interior trim, a nearly translucent headliner and opulent rear seating. Inside you’ll find an OLED touch screen spanning the front console, a central module control that responds to your voice, touch and gestures, and a rear seat connectivity system.

In addition to the technology and craftsmanship, the Escala offers a robust performance system featuring a powerful 4.2L Twin-Turbo V8 engine and a new RWD-centric mixed-material construction which makes it as powerful as it is beautiful.

Would you love to buy one when the concept makes it to reality?

Car Talk › Bmw X5 M And Bmw X6 M Gets The Black Fire Edition by autojosh(op):
Black is powerful, black is exciting, and black is exclusive: the same can be said of the new Black Fire Edition of the BMW X5 M and the BMW X6 M (combined fuel consumption: 11.1 l/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: 258 g/km*). The two special editions see BMW emphatically continue its success story in the Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) and Sports Activity Coupé (SAC) sectors.

From October 2017, both cars will be available in South Africa. The Black Fire Edition combines exciting exterior and interior design with high-class, exclusive furnishing details. The special edition pairs all this with the impressive driving dynamics and power delivery of the BMW X5 M and BMW X6 M models.

Impressive design.

No matter what terrain the BMW X5 M Edition Black Fire and the BMW X6 M Edition Black Fire find themselves on, these special models cut a fine figure on any route. The rich shade of black in the Sapphire Black Metallic paint job alone catches the eye.

This also applies to the forged 21-inch M alloy wheels in black. These large wheels with mixed-sized tyres (front: 10 J x 21, rear: 11.5 J x 21) are weight-optimized and instrumental in transferring the power generated by the M TwinPower Turbo Technology to the road.

Motorsport feel on the inside.

Great emphasis is also placed on premium quality inside the BMW X5 M Edition Black Fire and BMW X6 M Edition Black Fire. Fully-electric M multi-functional seats with integrated headrests come as standard in full fine-grain Merino leather, in contrasting Black and Mugello Red.

As well as the standard, multi-functional M leather steering wheel with aluminium shift paddles, the BMW M Performance Alcantara steering wheel with light-blue leather Motorsport accent is also available as an option and at no extra charge. It not only creates a racing feeling, but also boasts an eye-catching design and extremely prevalent gripping area made from Alcantara – for optimal grip in all temperatures.

Power on the streets.

Both models generate a top performance of 423 kW (both: combined fuel consumption: 11.1 l/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: 258 g/km*) from the 4.4-litre V8 engine. Both cars do 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.2 seconds with the standard 8-speed M Steptronic gearbox. The maximum torque of 750 Nm in the rpm range between 2,200 und 5,000 min-1. The xDrive four-wheel drive system has been set up with a rear-wheel bias, the Dynamic Performance Control system seamlessly distributes the drive torque between the rear wheels.

In combination with the outstanding deceleration values of the M compound brakes, the unmistakable sound of the M TwinPower turbo engine makes the impressive performance of both models audible, thus providing an extremely emotional driving experience. The Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) also allows every driver to adapt the sportiness of their BMW X5 M or BMW X6 M to any situation and to suit their individual preferences, at the push of a button.

The new special editions will be available in Africa from October 2017.

Business › Keep Off The Roads Or Risk Shut Down, Lagos State Warns Traders by autojosh(op): 2:03pm On Jun 28, 2017
The Lagos State Government on Wednesday warned traders in the habit of displaying their wares on the road for sale beyond the confines of the market thereby causing traffic gridlock and other environmental nuisance to desist henceforth otherwise markets where such illegal activities are perpetrated would be shut down till further notice.

The State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, who handed down the warning at a meeting with leaders of Agbado Oke-Odo Market held at Lagos House in Ikeja, said the activities of the traders who are in such habit had reached a level which the State Government could no longer condone, hence the need for a final warning.

The Governor, who was represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Mr Tunji Bello, said the leaders of markets in the State have been warned and counseled severally on the need to rein in on their market men and women to desist from disturbing others through their trading activities on the roads, but some have become adamant.

He said aside causing avoidable and needless traffic, the traders were also in the habit of dumping their refuse on the road, thereby causing environmental and health hazards.

He said: “This is just to come and deliberate on the Agbado Oke-Odo Market because of the situation there. The market has become a stumbling block particularly to those using the road. The traders have blocked the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway to the extent that even the contractors working there don’t have place to work because they have taken over the area.

“They cause a lot of traffic gridlock and people coming from Ota or from Abule Egba don’t have the road to connect other areas of the State. We have warned them consistently but we are yet to get any result. That is why we have summoned today’s meeting.

“The meeting is basically to call them to order and give them the last warning. The idea initially was to shut down the market today but the Governor decided that we should give them just one week to put things in order,” Bello said.

He said in as much as government was not interested in shutting down markets, but it would have no choice than to wield the big stick if traders continue constituting themselves as menace to other road users.

“What we are saying is that the government is not interested in shutting down any market because of the economic implication on the people who have to survive and live. As a government, we are not interested in shutting down business enterprises and all that, but if it is constituting menace and inconveniencing other people, we will have no choice than to wield the big stick, and that is why we are giving the market leaders the last warning to go and re-order their market.

“The leaders of the market must sit up and look at how to help government because we cannot say because we are trading, we should inconvenience people who go to work from Abule Egba to Lagos Island for instance and to other places and they have to spend hours on that road just because of the activities of the traders.

“Apart from that, we have a lot of filth on the road because the market people just dump their refuse on the road. We don’t want that anymore and that is why we are giving this last warning. We don’t want anybody on the road again and whatever we have to do internally as a government, we will not hesitate to do. We will send Task Force and the men of the Kick Against Indiscipline (KAI) to the place to ensure sanity.

“This warning to Agbado Oke-Odo traders also applies to other markets in the State. Any market where their traders are blocking the road and constituting menace to others will be shut down till further notice,” Bello threatened.

Responding on behalf of others, Babaloja Araromi Agbado Oke-Odo, Alhaji Mukaila Oyinlola, said as market leaders, they have warned the traders who are in the habit of selling on the road to desist, but their warnings have fallen on deaf ears, adding that the resolve of government was a welcome development.

Also, Iyaloja Araromi Oke-Odo Market, Mrs Dupe Shonola and Babaloja General of Agbado Oke-Odo Market, Alhaji Abiodun Kosoko urged government to make examples of the perpetrators of the illegal act, but called for expansion and modernization of the market.

Car Talk › Here Is What You Should Do When Your Car Gets Stolen by autojosh(op): 7:29pm On Jun 27, 2017
Loosing ones car is a bitter experience that can make even a very rich man feel really sad.
Some people don’t even think about the money but the ‘relationship’ they have built with the car(yeah, just like having a dog, some people get quite attached) .
So what should you do when your car gets stolen ?

Let’s find out

1.Calm Down
I know this is last thing you would want to do at that moment ,but it really pays to calm down first .

Sometimes you might have absent-mindedly packed it somewhere else,its funny and sounds impossible but it happens .

Or it might even be a prank ,even though it rarely happens ,just be sure its really missing.

2.Ask Questions
After you have confirmed it was really stolen ,ask around ,someone might have a useful information about what happened,they might have seen something.

3.Look Around For Cameras
Most Nigerian neighborhoods don’t have CCTV cameras around.But you might be lucky,just look around you and check for any in sight.

Ask them kindly if they could be of help revewing their footage,they might gladly assist.

If it was stolen at a bank or mall report to the security , they would help in checking their footage.

4.Call Everyone You Know
Call as many people as possible.Friends,family,co-workers etc.

They might be of help,let them know what has just happened.

5.Contact Your Insurance Company
You should let your insurance company know about the theft, incase you don’t get your car back.

6.Post It Online
Place it everywhere, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Nairaland.

Did you just say “its a bad idea and you might be alerting the thief ” ?.Well, its better than keeping quiet.

7.Offer A Reward
You should definitely offer a reward , it helps people get more interested and motivated in helping you find the car.

You might get lucky and the thief might pretend to be a good Samaritan and give information of the location for the reward.Since he knows the news is out there and might be difficult to sell it

8. Call The Police
Here in Naija our PoPo Olopa hardly take anything serious (no bashing intended),thats why this is last on the list.You can inform them to fulfil all righteousness,hopefully you might get lucky.

Have anything to add ?

Let’s hear from you.

Pagani has teamed up with Airbus Corporate Jets to create a new Infinito cabin design for the ACJ319neo.

Looking downright decadent, the cabin is awash with premium leather upholstery, carbon fiber trim, and LED lighting units. The plane has also been equipped with soft-leather carpets and wood floors which curve to form a natural pathway through the cabin.

If that wasn't impressive enough, the two companies developed handmade carbon fiber furniture, sculpted metal features, and a high-tech media center with a flat screen television.

Customers will also find a large dividing wall between the lounge and conference area which can transition from transparent to opaque at the touch of a button. However, the real deal is a "sky ceiling" which projects a live view of the sky above the aircraft onto the roof.

According to Horacio Pagani, "The combination of state-of-the-art composite materials never used before in an aircraft, such as CarboTitanium, with the typical design language of Pagani Automobili, has always represented our signature. Applying our Reinassance touch into the wider spaces of Airbus corporate jet cabins is the beginning of an exciting new venture for us."

This isn't the first time Airbus has teamed up with an automotive company as their helicopter division previously worked with the Peugeot Design Lab to create the sleek H160.

Car Talk › Mercedes-benz Unimog Voted Best Off Road Vehicle 2017 by autojosh(op): 9:35pm On Jun 26, 2017
For the 13th time in succession readers of the German "Off Road" magazine have voted the Mercedes-Benz Unimog the best off-road vehicle of the year in the "special-purpose vehicles" category. The "Off-Road Vehicle of the Year" poll had a total of twelve categories. More than 20 000 votes were cast, with 135 vehicles in the running. The Unimog took first place in the special-purpose vehicles category with a phenomenal 31.4 percent of readers' votes.

Whether it's in the Sahara Desert, in the River Niger or on the Olumo Rock, there are few challenges that the Mercedes-Benz Unimog would not be capable of taking on.

The extreme off-road model series enjoys particular popularity worldwide as an expedition vehicle. Axle articulation of up to 30 degrees, portal axles with ground clearance of up to 460 mm and gradeability of 45 degrees are hallmarks of these Unimog models with the type designations U 4023 and U 5023. Further features include a maximum fording depth of 1.20 m and a lateral inclination angle of up to 38 degrees. Driving in extreme situations with the all-wheel drive system engaged is supported by the selectable differential locks and the tyre pressure control system.

The high-torque OM 934 LA Euro VI engine, a four-cylinder with 5.1 l displacement, 230 hp and 664 lb-ft of torque, ensures reliability on the move. Eight forward and six reverse gears are available, and as an option also an off-road gear group for off-road applications in the 2.5 - 35 km/h speed range.

Available alongside this extreme off-road Unimog is the U 216 to U 530 implement carrier model series frequently seen in municipal applications. It is also equipped with cutting-edge Euro VI engines with outputs of up to 220 kW (299 hp).

When it comes to maintenance, diagnostics or repair, the Unimog also has all bases covered. Expert authorised Unimog dealers look after the vehicle at more than 650 service outlets in over 130 countries.
