Car Talk › Danfo Conductors: 4 Tips On How To Avoid Trouble With Them by autojosh(op): 9:50am On Apr 10, 2017
Yeah I am talking about Danfos again,why wouldn’t I ?.When you see them in every nook and cranny .

Today I would be telling you about some tips on how to avoid trouble with Danfo bus conductors.

Lets get started.

1.Know Where You Are Going
You should definitely know where you are going to before you board any Danfo bus.If you don’t ,make sure you ask before boarding the bus.Trust me it wont be funny when you enter a bus going to Sango Ota when your intended location is Sangotedo.You won’t be getting a refund,but you might be getting an exchange of blows.So be sure of where you are going !.

2.Have The Exact Bus Fare
Always have the exact bus fare to avoid troubles.If you are not sure of the exact fare , always make sure you have enough money in lower denominations especially #100 and #50.

3.Speak Politely
Lets be honest most of us talk to them anyhow because they are “conductors”.But they are human,and very extraordinary human beings who are constantly unstable as a result of stress and sometimes alcohol and different botanical species rolled up in paper *winks*.

4.Be Patient
Sometimes even after you have done all the above ,they still act weird and very unstable .You just have to be patient with them .Most fights and sometimes deaths involving passengers and conductors would have been averted if only one or both of them exercised patience.

What do you think ?

Had a funny encounter with a Danfo conductor ?

Kindly comment .

https://i67.tinypic.com/2czvz3q.jpg

You can’t think of James Bond without thinking Aston Martin. Reputation-wise, it punches well above its weight.

Aston Martin has had a whole bunch of owners in its long history, including Ford.

The 2017 Aston Martin DB11 continues with an all new aluminum-intensive extruded and bonded structure.

Aluminum is also used for the doors and roof and injection-moulded plastic for bumpers, front splitter and rear diffuser.

The Aeroblade that harnesses airflow consist of air intakes in the rear roof pillars which direct air through ducts inside the boot lid which then exits through a slot at the very back of the boot lid, creating a ‘virtual’ air dam which intercepts air pouring over the roof to provide the requisite rear down force.

You have unlimited interior options as their bespoke division can make you any interior you imagine.

https://i67.tinypic.com/zn6iiu.jpg

Features:
-5.2L V12 48 valve twin-turbo
-0—62mph in 3.9Sec
-200mph top speed
-600 bhp maximum power
-700nm maximum torque
-Two-door body style 2+2 seating
-LED headlamps with integrated daytime running, side lights and cornering lights
-LED light blade rear light
-Water-to-Air Charge Cooling
-Electrically controlled exhaust
-Rear mid-mounted eight-speed automatic gearbox with electronic shift-by-wire control system
-20″ 10-spoke Silver Diamond Turned wheels
-Base price is N84 million (excluding shipping to Nigeria and clearing)

Some say the front fascia is not living up to the rear end. What do you think about the DB11

Car Talk › 6 Reasons Your Car Consumes More Fuel Than Normal by autojosh(op): 7:02pm On Apr 07, 2017
Fuel consumption of a vehicle is of much concern to majority of the people that drive internal combustion engine vehicles. It is even more disturbing when you realize that your car is thirstier and is consuming more than it’s supposed to.

In case you have noticed that your car consumes more than normal, here are some reasons why it is so.

1. Bad Engine Oil
This shouldn’t sound strange to you. Engine oil has much role to play when it comes to the performance of your car engine.

When you use the recommended grade of engine oil, the engine runs well with less strain and hence will avoid your engine from working hard – low mileage is the price it pays.

It is therefore wise to use the recommended OEM engine oil.

2. Driving style
Aggressive drivers are bound to have poor fuel mileage. The way you drive your car has a lot of role to play when it comes to improved mileage. The way you accelerate, the way you apply the brake, the way you change your gear (for manual transmission) etc.

Unnecessary revving makes your car consume more fuel.

Using the cruise control can go a long way in curbing this especially during interstate travel.

3. Under or over inflated tyres
Driving your car on tyres that are not properly inflated consumes fuel. When the tyres are under-inflated, the surface area of the tyre in contact with the road increases. This will in turn cause rolling resistance to increase; more fuel will burn. On the other hand, over-inflation causes loss of traction which makes your car do more work to stay on the road.

Research has shown that a decrease in tyre pressure by 10 psi can lead to 2.5% increase in fuel consumption.

You can read more on 5 Ways Your Car Tyres Will Help You Save Petrol

4. Misalignment in the chassis and suspension part
It is not only unsafe to drive your car when the suspension systems and the chassis are bad; it also affects your gas mileage.

Always inspect for misalignment. Broken springs, worn suspension, bent wheel and bent axle can cause the drivetrain drag to increase.

5. Bad air filter
If you always drive in dusty conditions, it is advisable to change the air filter at least the number of times specified by the car manufacturer.

6. Bad spark plugs
Bad spark plugs cause your car to under-perform, consume more fuel, and sometimes cause engine vibration.

For example, in an inline-4 cylinder car that uses 4 spark plugs. If you have a bad plug, one cylinder will be affected and this will cause the engine system to be insufficient of one cylinder.

This will make the remaining 3 cylinders to work harder than normal. This burns more fuel and causes more strain on the engine.

If you notice your vehicle is consuming more fuel than usual, have your plug checked.

In a nutshell, always maintain a good maintenance habit when it comes to your car.

Let’s hear more reasons from you in the comment section..

Travel › 6 Reasons You Should Not Argue With Road Officials by autojosh(op): 6:52am On Mar 25, 2017
There is this paranoia that engulfs some of us when stopped at checkpoints. Some are able to manage the anger while others explode at the slightest spark.

These unexpected stops are definitely frustrating.. However, it is better to be courteous and ensure the situation does not get out of control except you feel your life is in danger.

Always remember these 6 points before you get into an argument with road officials:



They Have The Whole Time To Waste:

Remember that your time is money.. some of us even make the mistake of yelling at them that we are in a haste. Trust me, you will grow bear! bear!! (beards) at that checkpoint. Diplomacy and respect usually resolve issues faster.



It Can Damage Your Public Profile:

With this era of smartphone and twitter journalists, you will just see a photo or video of yourself fighting at Oshodi trending online..



It Might Hunt You In Future:

Don't be surprised that someone is making documentaries of all your street combos today.. You will only find out when you are this close to becoming a Senator.



They Have The Law To Back Them Up:

There are several laws in the books which remain unknown to us. These laws will be used against you when push comes to shove.. and the sad part is you cannot claim ignorance because "ignorance of the law is not an excuse"



They Will Twist The Fact To Favour Themselves:

If you are a young guy that drives a nice car, they may say you are an internet fraudster. If they shoot someone accidentally, they will say he/she was an armed robber.



Do It For God:

Don't forget, "A hot-tempered person stirs up conflict, but the one who is patient calms a quarrel".



Add yours and let's know if you usually give them hot or cold..

I once had a similar experience.. and the catalytic converter was the last thing we ever imagined. It was stolen and replaced with a clogged one which also led to rattles. My response was basically directed at the drag issue the OP mentioned. It's probably one of the issues others raised but no one can say precisely until a physical inspection and a test drive.
Car Talk › Tiny Remote-controlled Toyotas Tow A Huge Hilux Just Like Gulliver’s Travels by autojosh(op): 12:58pm On Mar 21, 2017

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LW2Cb4SbWew

Do you remember Gulliver’s Travels? This video will definitely make you smile if your answer is yes.

Toyota gathered 15 remote-controlled toy Hilux trucks and used them to pull a real Hilux. This is not the first time Toyota has showed off its pulling strength as they also used the new Tundra to pull the 145-ton space shuttle Endeavour.

To improve traction, they added weights in the rear of the small trucks.. while a driver sat in the real Hilux with the gear in neutral in order to prevent an accident.

Most of the time it's preferable you allow the parts sellers give you their mechanic to do the job... They handle it and you don't pay a farthing until the job is done and dusted..Tested satisfactory.... You can supervise if you like
Excellent option if you have to do it at all.. although, it is advisable to stay away like sacramento1212 said.

Please I have difficulty knowing model of cars. Like, how do I know that a particular Camry, Honda etc on the street is 2007, 2010 etc


Is there any place it is written? Or what's the easiest way knowing which is which or is it by individual identification?

You have to start by knowing the looks and design of different year range e.g. 2003-2008 Toyota Corolla has a different body structure and design from 2009-2013. However, the safest way to know the exact year is by checking the 10th character in the car VIN. If the 10th character is 7, then the car is 2007 model.. 8 means 2008, 9 means 2009, A means 2010, B means 2011 etc....

Car Talk › The New 2018 Volvo XC60 Is One Of The Safest Suvs Ever Made by autojosh(op): 1:46pm On Mar 20, 2017
https://i68.tinypic.com/fdhpnn.jpg

We all know that Volvo and safety is like 5 and 6.. This 2018 Volvo XC60 is definitely not an exception. The sleek SUV was revealed at the Geneva Motor Show..

Even if the looks does not dazzle you, the almost absolute safety is irresistible.

The outgoing model was on sale for solid nine years while some car can’t go beyond 3 years.. it also became the bestselling premium mid-sized SUV in Europe with nearly one million units sold worldwide.

President and Chief Executive, Volvo Car Group, Hakan Samuelsson said, “We have a strong heritage in designing stylish and dynamic SUVs that offer the latest in technology. The new XC60 will be no exception. It’s the perfect car for an active lifestyle, and it represents the next step in our transformation plan. Volvo is so confident about its the new safety technology in the new XC60 that it’s billing the tech-laden SUV as “one of the safest cars ever made.”

This XC60 will steer itself out of harm’s way with the latest steer assist if braking alone won’t do the job. This helps avoid collisions. Oncoming Lane Mitigation also prevent head-on collisions.

Another amazing feature is the Volvo On Call app which works allover the world. You can use it to check fuel levels, lock and unlock your car and pre-heat or cool the cabin. This is an easy way to be in control of your car with your smartphone.

You can also open and close the boot with the wave of your foot if your hands are full… this is a cool safety feature although it’s no longer new. It comes with a CleanZone four-zone AC system, which removes harmful pollutants and particles “to deliver Scandinavian-fresh air on the inside.”

“From a commanding view of the road ahead in a beautifully appointed and calm cabin, to a safe, inspired and confident ride. We’ve paid particular attention to making life easier for our customers by providing them with the creature comforts and services that take the hassle out of everyday life,” he added. Volvo’s advanced semi-autonomous driver assistance system, known as Pilot Assist, can also be fitted to the XC60 as an optional extra. With Pilot Assist activated, the autonomous technology will take over steering, acceleration and braking on well-marked roads up to 80 mph.

The available engines are the award-winning T8 Twin engine gasoline plug-in hybrid which gives 407 horsepower.. accelerating from 0-60 mph in 5.3 seconds. As well as 254-hp T5 engine and 320-hp T6 engine with turbo and superchargers. If you are a diesel fan, you can opt for the 190-hp D4 or 235-hp D5 engines.

We will see the 2018 Volvo XC60 coming out of Torslanda Plant in Sweden in the 3rd quarter of 2017.

https://i66.tinypic.com/2ir9nyo.jpg

You may not like the name but you’ll definitely love the looks. The Techrules Ren is one of the most amazing cars to come to the 2017 Geneva Motor Show.

The Swiss Auto Show could not resist this ride due to its outrageous power, extreme design and unique features.

It is a Turbine-Recharging Electric Vehicle (TREV) which can produce up to 1,287 horsepower. You can opt for 3, 4 or 6 electric motors. In the 3rd option, two motors power the front wheels and four power the rear wheels.

The jet-like cabin can accommodate up to 3 people in a unique sitting configuration.

You can also opt for the 14 kWh, 25 kWh or 32 kWh battery. The batteries can charge from flat to 80% in just 15 minutes using a DC fast charger.

https://i66.tinypic.com/2r39s7k.jpg

The Ren can run on petrol and natural gas but diesel is deemed to be the most efficient.. and it can the run 727miles with 6 electric motors, 25 kWh battery and 80 litres of diesel. However, the electric-only version won’t take you more than 124 miles. Top speed is 199 mph with 0-62 mph in 2.5 seconds.

It has no side mirrors. Instead, it uses screens that shows the sides and rear of the car. The price tag of the production version is estimated at N455million ($1million).

Car Talk › 7 Cars You Can’t Afford Even With Monthly N5m Savings For 5 Years by autojosh(op): 4:43pm On Mar 15, 2017
The world has loads and loads of super cars ,they all have one thing in common-high cost.But some of them have super high cost.

Today I would be talking about 7 cars you can’t afford even if you save 5 Million Naira every month for 5 years.

For the purpose of calculation I would be using the exchange rate as of today .And it would be an estimated sum.

So if you are not a maths genius let me help you out .

5Million every month for a year is = 5,000,000 X 12=60,000,000

https://i63.tinypic.com/518xu1.jpg

Cars without tyres are like humans without legs.At Geneva,Goodyear just displayed a new version of what could be the tyres of the future .Some of you might have seen it science fiction ,but soon enough it would become reality.

The new version looks way more “techy” and “smarter” and cooler.

Here is what the previous version looked like :

https://i64.tinypic.com/3445gyc.png

Image Credit:Goodyear

Let me give you a quick breakdown

Highlights
-Its 3D printed
-Its spherical
-Its connected to your car by magnetic levitation (simplified -it won’t be mechanically connected to the car,it would be suspended away from the -car but connected to it magnetically)
-Since its spherical you can drive sideways without actually needing to drift the normal way you would on regular tyres.
-It has sensors that detects the road conditions and adjust the speed of the car depending on the road condition(for example slowing down on a rough road).
-The sensors on the tyre also periodically monitor the wear and tear on the threads and alerts you when needed.
-This is a video of the presentation of the previous version:


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

Presentation of the new version at this years edition of Geneva Motor Show :


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

Not much difference , but minor improvements.

What do you think ?

Would you like to drive ,with one of these tyres ?

I feel for the Okada rider or Danfo driver that will scratch this type of car in Nigeria. Will their bike or bus even be able to buy just 1 of the 1,000 crushed diamonds? This is obviously the most opulent Rolls Royce Ghost.

The car is owned by an extremely wealthy collector who allowed the luxury automaker to display it at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show.

The unique finish is called “Diamond Stardust,” described as “the most luxurious and lustrous exterior ever seen on a motor car.” This is the most expensive paint job by RR which took specialists 2 months to execute, however, the price remains coded.

Rolls-Royce says the end result is a paint finish that “glistens like no other.”

https://i64.tinypic.com/2yzj1is.jpg

With the help of Williams F1 Engineering, Singapore has been able to reveal their first Electric Hypercar concept in Geneva.. The “Dendrobium“. It has a striking design and can achieve a top speed in excess of 200mph.

Vanda Electrics is the brain behind this car. It is a Singapore based company that specialises in battery technology.
“Dendrobium is the culmination of a dream. Our design team has had sketches of an electric hypercar on the drawing board since the mid-90s, but that vision was many years ahead of its time,” said Vanda’s chief executive Larissa Tan.
“As electric technology has advanced, we have been able to revisit this vision and now, as we launch our revolutionary global e-mobility strategy, the timing is finally right for us to take the wraps off a halo model.” Like the Aston Martin Valkyrie and Mercedes-AMG Project One, the Dendrobium has a technical partner with some serious racing credentials.

It weighs 1,750 kg and top speed is targeted at over 200 mph, with a 0-62 mph time of 2.7 seconds.
The door open like a dendrobium flower which gives easy access into the car. This is also where its name comes from.
The LED rear lights are simply amazing. What do you like the most about the Dendrobium?

Car Talk › Hyperloop Releases New Images :how Would You Like To Travel At 1200 Km/h by autojosh(op): 12:39pm On Mar 14, 2017
For those of you who have not heard about hyperloop ,its a medium of transportation that involves traveling through tubes at very high speeds .More like a train in a tube , but without tracks ,just floating mid air.

The main man behind this whole fantasy-like proposed means of transportation is Tesla CEO ,Elon Musk.He has however open-sourced the idea.A lot of companies and researchers are working tirelessly to have a breakthrough.

Recently a Los Angeles startup(Hyperloop One) released pictures of what could become the world’s first hyperloop tube.Its currently under construction in a Nevada desert.

It is designed to shuttle pods carrying passengers and cargo at speeds of up to 1,220 km/h (760 mph) through sealed, low pressure tubes.

I know it sounds like science fiction and sure enough, the idea of super-fast tube transport does have roots in sci-fi movies – but the images we see gives us an inkling that this may not be fantasy for too long.

The test site, called DevLoop, currently spans 500 metres (1,640 ft) in length and weighs over 1 million kilograms (more than 2.2 million pounds).When its completed it would span as much as 3 kilometers.

I would not bore you with much talk ,but let me break things down.This medium of transportation is aimed at connecting cities at unbelievable speeds.Imagine traveling from Kano to Lagos in 42 minutes ?,yeah I know its shocking .Thats the whole aim of the hyperloop program to crunch down travel time.

This would help a lot ,increase productivity, and help people work in places that are far from their houses(hopefully if its cheap, which I doubt)

Check out the images below :

Do you think this is possible,if its possible is it feasible ?
