Stew Jones, the incredible blind restorer of Jaguar classics

The spirit of overcoming is a very human trait, one that is not limited by social conventions or the impositions of others. That is why, despite the difficult paths we have to take in life, we cannot go back or stop moving forward. Stew Jones, of Stew Jones Restoration, is the leader behind one of the leading restorers of former US Jaguar V12 models and completely blind.

In 1985, Jones was hit hard by a van while leaving an intersection. It hit him right at the driver’s door. His ribs pierced his lungs and his aortic vein. He was in a coma for eight days, and although he finally recovered completely from physical injuries, for unknown reasons, he lost his sight. A tragedy like this would have been an end-of-life moment for many of us, but Stew recovered.

When the professionals behind Stew Jones Restoration prepared and presented the first restoration judged with 100 points from a third-series Jaguar E-Type V12 at the Jaguar Clubs of North America (Class 7), there was no doubt about the team’s skills. As a master of English mechanics at that time (often undervalued and misunderstood), Stew’s sudden disability forced him to give up his greatest motivation.
But, surprisingly, only two years later, he arranged by hand the old brick building that now houses his business and founded Stew Jones Restoration. Since its founding more than three decades ago, the company has been restoring, refining and modifying some of the best classic Jaguars in the United States in a couple of modest and surgically clean stores located on the edge of Highland Lake in Winsted, in the northwest corner from the state of Connecticut.

Together with several experts who work closely with him every day, they take his hand when they want to show him something in a car. They say you can give Stew any part of an E-Type and he will know exactly what it is just by touch, a feat that I couldn’t handle even with the power of sight. That is the story that the young filmmaker Elias Olsen set out to tell in his award-winning 13-minute documentary presented in June 2019, “Stew.” He can do almost everything. If you make the effort, you have to make some compensation, he can never say what color a car is, so people have to help him with that.

Nissan develops an ultralight acoustic “metamaterial”

Nissan has developed a new acoustic metamaterial that is equal to or more effective than any other acoustic insulation currently used being 75% lighter in its composition. This has an impact on achieving a significantly lighter set, which in turn leads to fuel savings, better dynamic performance and more refined ride comfort.

Road noise has long been a problem in cars, especially when traveling at high speed on the road. It is a factor that also helps determine the comfort of a car, especially in electric vehicles, which do not emit any type of mechanical noise despite the fact that the use of acoustic warning systems (AVAS) is mandatory from July 1, 2019. But it also seeks to be more efficient.

Currently, most of the materials used to reduce noise coming from the outside consist mainly of heavy rubber boards, but their weight worsens both dynamics and energy efficiency. Hyundai or Bose have addressed the problem by adapting active noise cancellation technology (such as that used in headphones) in an attempt to cancel sound waves. But Nissan ‘s new acoustic metamaterial is simpler.

The novel isolation system arises from a combination of a reticular structure and a plastic film that controls air vibrations to limit the transmission of noise from the broadband frequency (from 500 to 1200 Hz), such as road sound and of the engine. Due to its simple structure, the costs are possibly lower than now. Therefore, the material can also be applied to vehicles conditioned by weight or price.

Nissan began its research on metamaterial technology around 2008. At that time, the above was used in high sensitivity antennas for electromagnetic wave research. The company worked to extend the applicability of such technology to include sound waves, which led to the successful invention of acoustic metamaterial. All are advantages: less weight, more fuel economy and a much more pleasant driving.

It is not known whether Nissan plans to integrate its new sound insulation into its vehicles or not, but it has shown the technology in its latest SUV prototype, the Ariya, during the Consumer Electronics Fair (CES) in Las Vegas at the beginning of the year.

Princess Diana’s Audi convertible gets cheaper in the shadow of Meghan Markle

The green Audi 80 Cabrio 1994, on which the legendary princess Diana drove for a while, again surfaced at auction. Surprisingly, since the last bid, its estimated value has fallen by half …

No, the car wasn’t wrecked or rushed to a wreck, it is still in excellent condition and its mileage is small – only 22 thousand miles (35,406 km). Princess Diana, the wife of Crown Prince Charles, received a brand-new Audi 80 Cabrio with a 2.3-liter gasoline engine and 4-speed automatic transmission in March 1994 from one of the British dealers of the German brand and used the car until July. For several months, the princess dashed 4000 miles in a convertible, and at that time the green Audi was the main target of the paparazzi, because in the car without a roof Diana and her children, William and Harry, who were sitting in the back seat, were clearly visible.

And although the princess never owned this car, the fact that she appeared on Audi many times in public sharply increased the cost of this copy in the secondary market, and in general, the demand for the 80 Cabrio doubled after such a successful “product placement” – many women really wanted to be like Lady Dee.

In 2013, the car first appeared at the auction, then owner, who had kept the “royal” convertible for 17 years, managed to gain 36,500 for him. In 2016, the car was again sold under the hammer – the price rose to 54,000 pounds. At the third auction, in the summer of 2017, another “relic hunter” bought Audi for £ 58,000. Audi R8 V10 RWD, maintaining the commitment to propulsion

Further more? And no! In the announcement of the auction of The Practical Classics Classic Car & Restoration Show Sale 2020, which will be held in Birmingham from March 27 to 29, the estimated cost of the Audi 80 Cabrio of Princess Diana is only 35,000 – 40,000 pounds. This, by the way, is two times less than the estimated cost of the organizers of the Cheffins auction, on which this car was sold in 2017.

What can be associated with such a devaluation, because usually cars of celebrities since time only become more expensive? Probably the problem is that the Audi 80 Cabrio model alone is not of collectible value, and many began to forget about Diana in the light of the new tabloid heroine – American actress Meghan Markle, wife of Prince Harry, Diana’s youngest son. If Diana was a symbol of fragile femininity, Megan is the same flint. According to rumors, Megan quickly realized that Harry was a henpecked woman, who needed a strong woman who would save him from a leading role in relationships and the need to make decisions, married him, gave birth to a boy, and earlier this year removed Harry and his son from the royal family – allegedly because she and Harry are tired of court life.

Now Megan and her men live in Canada, and the discord between Harry and the royal court and the treachery of an American careerist who wants to maximize her monetization of her marriage with the prince have become the main topic of British and American newspapers, eclipsing even the Brexit, the impeachment of Donald Trump and the epidemic of the deadly coronovirus in China. Even in the cult series “New Papa” the script writers decided to mention the famous Meghan – they say she cannot choose an outfit without the advice of His Holiness … The Audi e-tron increases its autonomy with an update

Of course, in addition to the army of ill-wishers, Megan has an even more impressive army of admirers and worshipers who idolize her for her talent and beauty and a modern approach to life.

In general, if Audi belonged to Meghan rather than Diana, then the estimated price would probably be six-digit, but since this is not so, then the green Audi 80 Cabrio will probably be at the public auction for the last time, after which it will settle in the garage a true fan of Diana, not a speculator who wants to earn extra money on behalf of the late princess.

New images of the updated Volkswagen Caddy. Premiere at the end of February

The German company has published several new sketches of the future restyled “heel”: now the pictures are more closer to reality.

Volkswagen has been releasing Caddy of the current third generation since 2003, the last time the model was updated in 2015. Now the German concern is preparing for the presentation of a restyled version of the “heel”: the novelty will debut in less than a month. The first sketches of the updated car were published in December 2019, and today new images have appeared. The past and “Back to the future” come together in this 1967 Volkswagen Kombi T1

The company claims that the restyled VW Caddy will be new and supposedly will not receive “even one bolt” from its predecessor. Despite this, its exterior, judging by the published sketches, will nevertheless leave its family features and will be recognizable. This is noticeable in the form of optics, and in stampings on the hood, and in the silhouette of the body.

Among the differences in appearance there are a more aggressive bumper, larger wheel arches, as well as larger diameter wheels. According to Volkswagen, this car’s shorter wheelbase has become longer (there will be two versions in total), and the rear overhang is shorter. At the same time, the roof line appeared to be slightly tilted back. Judging by the sketch, the tail lights became narrower and vertically elongated.

The carrying capacity of the updated car has increased. The passenger version of the updated Caddy, as noted in the company, has also become wider and longer. Its features included a large panoramic glass roof.

Details about the technology are still almost gone. VW noted that the updated Caddy will be equipped with various driver assistance systems, including those that are not currently used in cars of this class. In addition, the owners of new “heels” will be able to install special applications that allow you to control certain functions of the car remotely.

It is expected that the new Caddy is based on the MQB Evo platform from the new Golf. Earlier, we assumed that the rear suspension would be semi-dependent, with a transverse torsion beam. The company is likely to introduce passenger versions with three rows of seats. Gasoline and diesel engines can get a 48-volt hybrid “makeweight” (to reduce exhaust emissions). Most likely, the model will not have an electric version, since Volkswagen will subsequently have a one-volume truck based on the ID concept. Buzz Cargo, created on the MEB platform. Volkswagen will reduce its offer of minivans in favor of SUVs

The updated VW Caddy is expected to hit the market in 2021. This model, as well as Ford Transit Connect, is being developed by a German concern in the framework of cooperation with the American automaker. Ford, in turn, got the next-generation Ford Ranger and Volkswagen Amarok pickup projects, as well as the future family of mid-size Ford Transit Custom and VW Transporter vans.

Of course, in addition to the army of ill-wishers, Megan has an even more impressive army of admirers and worshipers who idolize her for her talent and beauty and a modern approach to life.

In general, if Audi belonged to Meghan rather than Diana, then the estimated price would probably be six-digit, but since this is not so, then the green Audi 80 Cabrio will probably be at the public auction for the last time, after which it will settle in the garage a true fan of Diana, not a speculator who wants to earn extra money on behalf of the late princess.

New images of the updated Volkswagen Caddy. Premiere at the end of February

The German company has published several new sketches of the future restyled “heel”: now the pictures are more closer to reality.

Volkswagen has been releasing Caddy of the current third generation since 2003, the last time the model was updated in 2015. Now the German concern is preparing for the presentation of a restyled version of the “heel”: the novelty will debut in less than a month. The first sketches of the updated car were published in December 2019, and today new images have appeared. The past and “Back to the future” come together in this 1967 Volkswagen Kombi T1

The company claims that the restyled VW Caddy will be new and supposedly will not receive “even one bolt” from its predecessor. Despite this, its exterior, judging by the published sketches, will nevertheless leave its family features and will be recognizable. This is noticeable in the form of optics, and in stampings on the hood, and in the silhouette of the body.

Among the differences in appearance there are a more aggressive bumper, larger wheel arches, as well as larger diameter wheels. According to Volkswagen, this car’s shorter wheelbase has become longer (there will be two versions in total), and the rear overhang is shorter. At the same time, the roof line appeared to be slightly tilted back. Judging by the sketch, the tail lights became narrower and vertically elongated.

The carrying capacity of the updated car has increased. The passenger version of the updated Caddy, as noted in the company, has also become wider and longer. Its features included a large panoramic glass roof.

Details about the technology are still almost gone. VW noted that the updated Caddy will be equipped with various driver assistance systems, including those that are not currently used in cars of this class. In addition, the owners of new “heels” will be able to install special applications that allow you to control certain functions of the car remotely.

It is expected that the new Caddy is based on the MQB Evo platform from the new Golf. Earlier, we assumed that the rear suspension would be semi-dependent, with a transverse torsion beam. The company is likely to introduce passenger versions with three rows of seats. Gasoline and diesel engines can get a 48-volt hybrid “makeweight” (to reduce exhaust emissions). Most likely, the model will not have an electric version, since Volkswagen will subsequently have a one-volume truck based on the ID concept. Buzz Cargo, created on the MEB platform. Volkswagen will reduce its offer of minivans in favor of SUVs

The updated VW Caddy is expected to hit the market in 2021. This model, as well as Ford Transit Connect, is being developed by a German concern in the framework of cooperation with the American automaker. Ford, in turn, got the next-generation Ford Ranger and Volkswagen Amarok pickup projects, as well as the future family of mid-size Ford Transit Custom and VW Transporter vans.
