Do you know that pain and speechlessness you experience when you get home only to discover that your phone or money is no longer in your pocket ? .

A good number of people who have boarded a public bus especially Danfo at one time or the other have lost their money or property even if it is an umbrella.

Let’s learn a few tips to help keep our properties safe when you board a public transport.

1.Front Pockets Please !
Keep all valuables in your front pocket ,or in your bag if you have one with you. There are some smooth criminals that pick-pocket before and even after you board the bus.

2.Place Your Bag In Front Of You
Whether its a laptop bag or female handbag or polybag,it should always be in front of you,on your lap,with the handle around your shoulder,now hug your bag tight .

3.Don’t Ever Think Of Sleeping
Even if its long distance traveling ,try not to sleep at all.Stay awake,stay alert !.

4.Keep Valuables Away From The Window
Especially your phones,don’t get carried away chatting on Whatsapp ,your phone could get snatched by someone outside the vehicle when you sit close to the window.

5.Don’t Flaunt It
Seriously,keep your Iphones in your pocket,its really not a time to flaunt it.Try as much as possible not to flaunt expensive stuffs.

6.Don’t Talk About Money
This is deviating a bit from the public bus,but it could originate there,so it kind of counts .

Stop having your 30 billion discussion with a client in a bus !.Wait till you get home or a private place,you could be followed !.

7.Always Check Your Surrounding Before Alighting
Always make it a rule to check your sit and surroundings before alighting from the bus ,something might have slipped out from your pocket or dropped from your bag.

We hope you have found these tips helpful .

Kindly like and share .

We would also like to hear from you.

Two Cars d0n’t come with the same VIN (Verification Identification Number) just like human beings don’t have the same fingerprints.. but Audi did the unthinkable. They did not only make two cars with the same VIN, they made thousands of them.

This was discovered by some Investigators, as German prosecutors discovered documents which suggested thousands of cars may have been shipped to China, Japan, and South Korea with the same VIN.

This would be a serious problem as we all know that every vehicles is supposed to have its unique 17-digit numbers that isn’t supposed to be repeated for at least 30 years.

We all know that VIN numbers help owners, insurance companies, and government agencies to track a vehicle’s history, ownership, and legal status.

Still it remains unclear why the company will use the same VIN on multiple vehicles or maybe it has something to do with importation issues such as restrictions or taxes.

Audi defended by saying “We are not aware of the fact the VIN numbers have been issued more than once.”

TRD (Toyota Racing Development) has lent a hand to Lexus with making the Lexus CT 200h look bolder and more aggressive, given that they didn’t fully succeed after adding the F-sport package.. with new grilles, new fog light bezels, modified headlight and taillight, new rear bumper, modified wheels and a new sat-nav system with a larger 10.3″ screen.

The TRD kit comes with added custom front and rear spoilers, side skirts, a quarter panel spoiler, a rear diffuser with quad-exhaust tips and even some underbody aero mods, making the car look very aggressive. The car also now sits closer to the ground at 30 mm, although it runs at the same 110km/h in 10 seconds.

Still not a hot and sporty hatchback, well, in terms of speed, but looks cool.

Capable of unleashing a massive 590hp and sprinting from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.5 seconds, the Ferrari Portofino is the most powerful convertible to combine the advantages of a retractable hard top, a roomy boot and generous cockpit space plus two rear seats suitable for short trips.

The Ferrari Portofino’s all-new chassis features a significant weight saving over the California T it replaces. Thanks to the extensive use of modern production technologies, all the chassis and body-in-white components have been redesigned with a consequent reduction in weight despite an increase in torsional rigidity.

Engine
The renowned Ferrari V8 turbo, part of the engine family that was nominated International Engine of the Year in both 2016 and 2017, now punches out 40 cv more than the California T’s power unit thanks to the adoption of new components and specific calibration of the engine management software. The characteristic Ferrari V8 soundtrack has also been further enhanced and can be fully appreciated, particularly in top-down driving.

All aspects of the 8-cylinder’s efficiency have been honed with the adoption of new pistons and con-rods, and a new intake system design. The geometries throughout the exhaust system have also been revolutionised. The new one-piece-cast exhaust header reduces losses, an important factor in ensuring Ferrari’s characteristic throttle response with zero turbo lag. These improvements, combined with the Variable Boost Management which adjusts torque delivery to suit the gear selected, enable the Ferrari Portofino to offer even higher levels of acceleration in all gears and lower fuel consumption compared to the outgoing model.

Vehicle dynamics
The Ferrari Portofino’s vehicle dynamic characteristics have been completely revised and benefit from the introduction of new technological solutions. For the first time on this type of Ferrari model, the third generation electronic rear differential (E-Diff3) has been adopted and integrated with the F1-Trac, improving both mechanical grip and the control of the car on the limit. The Ferrari Portofino is also the first GT in the range to be fitted with EPS (Electric Power Steering). This allowed the engineers to reduce the steering ratio by seven per cent for even more responsive steering without a trade-off in stability thanks to the integration with the E-Diff3. The magnetorheological damping system (SCM-E) has been uprated with dual-coil technology which helps reduce roll while simultaneously improving absorption of road surface unevenness. The result is an even more dynamic, responsive car that also delivers superior ride comfort.

Design & Aerodynamics
The Ferrari Design Centre-penned Ferrari Portofino is an aggressively-styled car with a two-box fastback configuration – unprecedented in a coupé-convertible with a retractable hard top – that adds extra sleekness to its silhouette, lending it a sportier character without impinging on its elegance and dynamism.

Close collaboration between the Aerodynamics department and Ferrari Design has ensured maximum efficiency in the development of the surface treatment. Starting with the front, the form of the large radiator grille opening, that stretches from edge to edge of the carefully contoured nose, is underscored by a new full-LED headlight assembly with a more horizontal shape. The outside edge of the headlight hides an innovative air intake which vents into the front wheelarch and exits along the flank to reduce drag.

The tail design underlines the car’s sporty stance which has been further enhanced by placing the tail lights futher apart. This elegant solution cleverly conceals the rear volume housing the all-new RHT which features a more lightweight design and can be raised or lowered at low speeds.

Comfort on board
There was also a particular focus on board comfort which is guaranteed by a slew of new features, not least an infotainment system with 10.2” touchscreen display, a new air-conditioning system that improves occupant comfort both with the top up or down, a new steering wheel, 18-way electrically adjustable seats with a new backrest design that boosts legroom for rear seat passengers, and the passenger display. All occupants will particularly appreciate the new wind deflector which, when the top is dropped, cuts air flow inside the cabin by 30% and also reduces aerodynamic noise.

The Ferrari Portofino will make its world debut at the Frankfurt International Motor Show in September.

We all know Honda as a Japanese car brand with great expertise that makes great sports cars.

Honda has everything that it takes to make a 2020 Honda sport car, a rival for Ariel Atom or Radical RXC.

But they are dropping it because such car won’t be successful, nevertheless this hasn’t stopped designer Leonardo Nitole Moreira from dreaming up the amazing Honda track car called Honda Invisus.

The Invisus is based around a carbon fiber monocoque and exclusively uses carbon body panels. Up front, the car somewhat reminds us of the Aston Martin Vulcan because of its thin LED taillights placed just above a pair of huge carbon air intakes.

Whats your take on this?

The holiday would soon be over and kids would be resuming back to school.Expect to see a large number of them populate the streets around (7AM-9AM) and (1PM-4PM).

We all know how school kids can be sometimes ,especially the public school children,because of their large number (no offense -I attended a public school too na -Great Mayflower Students !).

I would be giving you some tips today on how to ensure your safety and that of the school kids while driving .

1.Slow Down
When I say slow down , I really mean slooow dooown any time you are driving around schools or a road where school kids take often.

2.Be Ready At All Times
Children behave like springs sometimes ,one moment they are here , the next microsecond they are right in front of your car.So you have to be alert,focus and be ready to prevent a mishap.

3.Don’t Park In Front Of Schools
Its really not advisable to park directly in front of schools ,because you are indirectly putting kids in danger .Let me explain.
When you park in front of the school,depending on the way the road is constructed ,you might obstruct the view of kids who are trying to cross over to the other side,they won’t see oncoming vehicles clearly because of their height ,the same goes for oncoming vehicles,they won’t see the kids.
Also, parking your vehicle there sometimes forces them to walk on the major road since you have taken all the space intended to be used as a side walk(once again depending on how the road is constructed).
But I hope you get the picture I am trying to paint .

4.Take Note Of Signs And Flags
Be observant and take note of signs and flags ,most times thats the point where the school children are going to cross the road.Be observant !.

5.Be Careful When Reversing
Every car has blind spots ,some of these cuties are just to short for you to see ,so be extra careful before you reverse.I have experienced such mishap once,thankfully the kid came out just fine.You might not be so lucky.

Kindly share !.Someone would need this .

Google has a unique idea for the Waymo.

The technology involves changing the rigidity of the vehicle‘s body, thereby making the car soft before it hits a pedestrian. This is achieved by a series of cables, rods and springs lined in the panel of the vehicle.

Whenever a collision is about to happen, the sensors implanted in the vehicle gets triggered and the rigidity of the vehicle reduces drastically.

The technology definitely re-assures customers and pedestrians of their safety with autonomous vehicles.

As beautiful as the exterior of the 2012 Pagani Huayra is, this is the kind of confusing dashboard and steering wheel they decided to put inside.SMH

Have you seen any other ridiculous dashboard ?

Kindly share it with us.

By Donald3d

7.

Whoever drives this Fiat Multipla 2002 would properly develop neck pain from turning his head too often

6.

I present to you the dashboard of a 1988 Pontiac Banshee,you like ?.

5.

When the owner of the company says “Design something that is spacious and user friendly” and the designer tried too hard to impress his oga.

And its quite disappointing that this is an Aston Martin Lagonda 1984.

4.

What is wrong with Citroen na ,what is this one again !- 1983 Citroen GSA Pallas

See the name sef ,its similar to Kpalasa

3.

The designer of this game console(sorry-dashboard), would make an innocent human being read 1000 page manual just to understand this one.Wetin Happen !

By the way, this is a 1982 Lancia Orca

2.

You are looking at the dash of a Citroen Xenia Concept (1981).I am really confused ,I don’t know what to say about this one.

Dashboards are very important in cars ,they have displays,guages,etc that helps us have full control of the car.

The latest cars nowadays have very beautiful and engaging dashboards ,with high-end technology integrated.But there are some dashboards that are just completely ridiculous and they look like they were built for aliens .

Lets see some of them,have fun !

1.
This is the dash of a 1972 Maserati Boomerang concept.Just looking at this image alone makes me weak.
