https://autojosh.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Centurion-South-Africa-Mercedes-Benz-C-Class-Flood.jpg Heavy downpours and floodings have caused massive damages across parts of South Africa. Centurion was the worst hit, with Midrand and the capital, Pretoria, also experiencing the terrible aftermath of rain. The air force was called on Monday to rescue people trapped by flood waters as heavy rain continued to pelt Centurion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OmLNlb4I3Q This trending footage shows a luxury Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan being swept away by a massive flood in Centurion, South Africa. https://autojosh.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Centurion-South-Africa-Mercedes-Benz-C-Class-Flood-1.jpg The white C-Class was dragged by the muddy water before getting stuck against an iron fence. Hopefully, the owner of this $41,400 vehicle has a car insurance that covers such damages. Repetitive warnings from the local authorities and swift interventions of the emergency teams has prevented the loss of lives in the areas affected by floods. At least 700 homes have been washed away near the capital, Pretoria. The country has also been hit by electricity blackouts due to the flooded coal mines and power stations. The power cuts, known as load shedding in South Africa, have halted gold and diamond production at some leading mines. https://autojosh.com/shocking-footage-shows-mercedes-benz-c-class-being-swept-away-by-flood-in-south-africa/ Cc Lalasticlala Mynd44 |

Tesla CEO Elon Musk was left embarrassed when the supposedly unbreakable armoured glass on the all-new Cybertruck was smashed by a metal ball thrown at it. https://i0.wp.com/autojosh.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Tesla-Cybertruck-Pickup-Truck-Armoured-Unbreakable-Windows-Shattered-14.jpeg https://i2.wp.com/autojosh.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Tesla-Cybertruck-Pickup-Truck-Armoured-Unbreakable-Windows-Shattered-9.jpeg Tesla CEO Elon Musk on Thursday unveiled the companies first electric pickup truck at the Tesla Design Center in California. The 6-seater all-electric battery-powered pickup, named the Cybertruck, looks nothing like a traditional pickup you will find on the road. The Cybertruck looks like a large metal trapezoid on wheels. It doesn’t have a seperate body and a frame like most trucks. Instead, it’s strength comes from its metal skin. The exterior of ultra-strong stainless steel alloy that is used for SpaceX rockets. According to Musk, that alloy enables Cybertruck to be bulletproof against smaller firearms like 9-millimeter handguns. But things didn’t appear to go entirely to plan during the demonstration of the vehicle’s armoured glass windows on Thursday. https://i1.wp.com/autojosh.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Tesla-Cybertruck-Pickup-Truck-Armoured-Unbreakable-Windows-Shattered-4.jpg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_TgRQDr5CY A sledgehammer was first used to hit the sides of the truck without damaging the body. But when Tesla Head of Design threw a metal ball at the windows, the so-called unbreakable armoured glass on the Cybertruck, shattered.

The assassination of JF Kennedy 56 years ago led to a total rethink of how the US presidential state cars are designed https://i0.wp.com/autojosh.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/US-Presidential-State-Car-Cadillac-One-The-Beast-10.jpg On November 22 1963, US President John F. Kennedy was fatally shot in an open-topped Lincoln Continental in Dallas, Texas, during a presidential motorcade. That day, 56 years ago today, marks one of the darkest moments in American history. The assassination of John F. Kennedy led to a total rethink of how the presidential cars are designed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pis-aRHBJDo https://i0.wp.com/autojosh.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/JFK-Assassination-US-Presidential-State-Car-Cadillac-One-The-Beast.jpg The 1961 unarmoured open-roofed Lincoln Continental SS-100-X left John F. Kennedy uniquely exposed. Today, the United States presidential state cars are more of “Tanks” than a cars. The current models cover the presidents in thicker layers of armour and protection. AutoJosh wants you to see the evolution of the US Presidential State Cars from the last five decades. 1961 to 1963: Lincoln Continental SS-100-X https://i1.wp.com/autojosh.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/USA-TRUMP-JFK.jpg The vehicle that President Kennedy was riding in on the day of his assassination was a 1961 open-roofed Lincoln Continental SS-100-X.

It has heavy-duty heater and air conditioner and a pair of radiotelephones. Fire extinguisher, a first-aid kit and a siren are also available. John F. Kennedy wouldn’t have survived the bullets in the unarmoured car even if the hardtop had been in place. 1963 to 1972: Lyndon B Johnson’s armoured Lincoln Continental https://i0.wp.com/autojosh.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/US.png Following Kennedy’s assassination, Lincoln Continental was redesigned for an estimated cost of $500,000.

[img]https://imagizer./img923/6263/gneMxh.jpg[/img] There is rising tension in eSwatini – formerly called Swaziland – following King Mswati III’s acquisition of 19 Rolls-Royces and 120 BMWs. A total of 19 Rolls-Royce cars, including Wraith and Cullinan, were delivered to Swaziland last month for the exclusive use of the king, his mother and his wives. [img]https://imagizer./img922/9099/FllFa5.jpg[/img] According to reports, some of these 120 BMWs are for his motorcade and the exclusive use of his 15 wives and 23 children. The new BMW X3 and 5-Series models were spotted under wraps on the back of 12 trucks as they were shipped from South Africa. The country has an average salary of only $12,800 a year. This means that a typical worker would have to work for 70 years to be able to afford one of the Rolls-Royces he bought. The eSwatini kingdom is currently facing civil unrest over plummeting economic conditions and heightening poverty. Opposition politician Wandile Dludlu has accused the King of continuing to ‘spoil himself and his family,’ ‘To say this is a blatant display of arrogance and total disregard of the poor people of Swaziland’s feelings by the monarch would be an understatement,’[img]https://imagizer./img924/3955/tpKN2i.jpg[/img] Mswati III renamed the country Eswatini in 2018 to mark his 50th birthday and the 50th anniversary of independence from Britain. King Mswati III has a reputation for lavish spending. He currently owns a $13.2 million private jet he gifted himself during his 50th birthday in 2018. He also has another $258 million luxury jet. [img]https://imagizer./img922/4029/tUCuhv.jpg[/img] [img]https://imagizer./img921/9550/IaNkcq.jpg[/img] Mswati III also owns a $625,000 Rolls Royce, a $500,000 Maybach 62, a Bmw X6 and 20 Mercedes Benz S600 Pullman. All his wives also boasts a luxury Bentley each. King Mswati III’s latest fleet of 19 Rolls-Royces and 120 BMWs is worth around $16.6 million or ₦6 billion. https://autojosh.com/swaziland-king-buys-120-bmws-for-his-15-wives-and-23-kids-after-earlier-delivery-of-19-rolls-royces/ Cc Lalasticlala Mynd44 Seun

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkNSDakadQE A reporter for a California TV station has been fired after climbing and posing on Classic cars during auto show. The reporter, Angel Cardenas, was reporting from the Sacramento International Auto Show for CBS 13’s Good Day Sacramento when he taught jumping on someone’s car was a good idea. Cardenas was allowed into the show grounds well ahead of its opening. He said during the live broadcast that, “No one is out here to tell me which car I can’t go in because some of these are off limits so I’m just going to live on the wild side,” [img]https://imagizer./img924/7447/BTtGz9.jpg[/img] “Tell me: what you think about this pose here?” Cardenas then hopped onto back of a yellow 1950s Thunderbird convertible. He was seen posing on the classic car, with his shoes touching the exterior. The reporter then moved on to a pink 1957 model. As he was opening the car door, he accidentally slammed the door into the door of a nearby green Thunderbird. He said, “Oh no, I hit that other car,” Then, he looked around and said, “I don’t think anyone saw it.” [img]https://imagizer./img924/8815/IG6ggy.jpg[/img] He then moved from classic cars and approached a new Ford SUV. Speaking to Ford employee, he says: ‘Now there’s a sign in front of that Ford that says “Please keep off displays,” can I just finish up this live shot posing on the hood for my friends Tina and Ashley?’ [img]https://imagizer./img924/1499/ISm5F8.jpg[/img] He then leaped onto the bonnet of the new Ford SUV. He says : ‘Oh! That didn’t sound good.’ . Then the voice of someone off camera yelled, “Get off.” The reporter, who was now aware of his foolish pranks, said, “Oh boy, I’m going to get in trouble,” The Sacramento International Auto Show posted a statement to Facebook after the incident, saying, “After the Producer of the Sacramento International Auto Show reached out to the General Manager of KMAX TV regarding yesterday’s astonishingly awful incident, she received a call this morning from the GM that the reporter from the Good Day Sacramento segment has been terminated immediately and the station expressed their sincerest apologies for the incident.”The car show’s producer said none of the cars were damaged but that the show’s producers were outraged nonetheless. The TV reported violated a key tenet of the classic car community: You don’t touch another person’s ride without their permission, let alone jump all over it. https://autojosh.com/reporter-fired-after-jumping-and-posing-on-classic-cars-during-auto-show-video/ Cc Lalasticlala Mynd44 Seun |

The 5-Storey Houxi Long Distance Bus Station was moved to make way for a new high-speed railway station. The lifting and movement of the structure, the weight of roughly 170 Boeing 747s aircrafts or 2 Brooklyn Bridges, took 40 days to complete.

It was opened to the public in 2015 after five years of construction. Instead of destroying the 4 year old £30 million (₦13.9 billion) structure, see what the engineers did: [img]https://imagizer./img921/3057/IK1azn.jpg[/img] [img]https://imagizer./img922/7846/pWrCPp.jpg[/img] The workers started by digging the soil between the old and new location out. Then they put 532 of hydraulic jacks under the massive 5-storey building to slide it 90 degrees along rolling tracks. Wei Xinhai, project leader of the Xiamen Port Construction Co, said, “The first goal was to ensure the safety of the original structure,”He added that despite the horizontal rotation of 90 degrees, not even a single piece of glass in the bus station was damaged. [img]https://imagizer./img922/5107/wj9Na7.jpg[/img] [img]https://imagizer./img923/2237/yE4Cao.jpg[/img] On September 6, this amazing feat was awarded a Guinness World Record for the longest arc rotation of a pivoted building.

He then did a 180, hit a gas pump island, and then drove directly into the store and stopping in the middle of it.”[img]https://imagizer./img922/250/U8xl2i.jpg[/img] After the crash, he got out of the truck, removed the rear license plate, took some papers out, and ran away. The whole incident was captured on the stores surveillance camera. When police tracked Edmonds down, he said he wanted to speed around the pumps because his new tyres spin easily. As he was speeding around the bumps, he hit a curb and lost control before crashing through the store. He was charged with reckless driving and failing to report and accident. He was arraigned and issued a $5,000 personal bond. Part of the condition of the bond is not to visit the gas station again. He must also submit alcohol and drugs tests twice a week. https://autojosh.com/moment-a-f-150-truck-driver-ran-away-with-plate-number-after-crashing-into-a-store/ Cc Lalasticlala Mynd44 Seun |

During a recent town hall event at the Facebook’s headquarters, the 35 year old said no one deserves to have the kind of money he has. “I don’t know if I have an exact threshold on what amount of money someone should have, but on some level no one deserves to have that much money”This came after Democratic presidential candidate, Bernie Sanders, said billionaires shouldn’t exist. With an extimated worth of $73.6b (₦26.6t), Mark could afford any thing in this world.

[img]https://imagizer./img921/1662/1whxaC.jpg[/img] The Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, on Monday said insecurity along the Abuja-Kaduna road has increased the passenger traffic on the Abuja-Kaduna rail service by 270 per cent. The route, which has a carrying capacity of 1,000 daily passengers, now ferries 3,700 passengers daily. Amaechi also revealed that more coaches would soon be added on the route to cater for the high passenger volume. This will also stop the passengers from standing on the coaches while travelling. Amaechi said, “The reason why we allowed standing on the Abuja-Kaduna train is the insecurity that has made it unbearable to insist on sitting.He also added that , “The actual number of passengers that the service can take for the sitting capacity is about 1,000 plus, but we are carrying 3,700 people daily. So if you add 10 coaches of 84 passengers per coach, you will know that we are under pressure. We know that when the coaches come and we make it more regular the pressure will be reduced.”The Minister also revealed plans to start making Made-In-Nigeria Trains. He said that on November 8, 2019, the Federal Government would lay the foundation for the Kajola factory in Ogun State where locomotives, wagons and coaches would be constructed by Chinese firms at no cost to Nigeria. Amaechi also announced plans to commence a trial run of trains on the Lagos-Ibadan railway service in December. He said passengers will get free train rides during the Yuletide period. “Our target is to start by November 30 this year, specifically from Ebute-Meta in Lagos to Ibadan in Oyo State.”He urged the contractor handling the project, China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation, to complete the minor stations on the Lagos-Ibadan railway before November 25. “If I spend sleepless nights to sign approvals for you, I don’t want to hear you use rain as an excuse why you can’t deliver your job as engineers,”https://autojosh.com/federal-government-sets-to-start-making-made-in-nigeria-trains/

[img]https://imagizer./img923/4858/Uo2Awb.jpg[/img] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXb-RqJB47I Russia on Wednesday landed two nuclear-capable Tupolev Tu-160 Bombers in Waterkloof Air Force Base in Tshwane, South Africa. The two world’s biggest military aircraft, nicknamed the White Swan, are capable of launching nuclear missiles. They are the first to ever land in Africa. They were accompanied by SA Air Force Gripen and Hawk aircraft as they arrived at the Waterkloof air base in Tshwane. [img]https://imagizer./img921/945/yOqVis.jpg[/img] The flight was apparently timed to coincide with President Vladimir Putin’s opening of a flagship Russia-Africa summit designed to increase Russian influence. Russia’s Ministry of Defence said the mission is designed to nurture military ties with South Africa. [img]https://imagizer./img923/5525/Fvscll.jpg[/img] With a top speed of 1,243 mph, the supersonic Tupolev Tu-160 bombers are the largest and heaviest combat aircraft. They are also the fastest millitary bomber now in use. The Russia-Africa summit is part of Russia’s drive to win business and restore influence that faded after the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union. Russia will have to compete with China and the US for influence in Africa. Last week, Putin accused former colonial powers in the West of intimidating African countries to exploit the continent’s resources. “We see how an array of Western countries are resorting to pressure, intimidation and blackmail of sovereign African governments”During the Russia-Africa Summit, Russia and Nigeria signed a deal to supply 12 Russian-made Mi-35 attack helicopters to Nigeria. This military and technical assistance from Russia will help support Nigeria’s fight against the Boko Haram insurgency. [img]https://imagizer./img921/8424/0C39sg.jpg[/img] The Mi-35M attack helicopter is an export version of Mil Mi-24V large attack helicopter. The helicopter, nicknamed the “flying tank,” is Russia’s answer to Boeing’s Apache large helicopter gunship. Russia and Nigeria also signed a deal to revive and modernise our refineries, and also to restart the decaying Ajaokuta steel company. The Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, also sealed railway deal with 2 Russian firms for modernisation and rehabilitation of existing rail projects nationwide. https://autojosh.com/russia-wants-to-hijack-africa-from-us-and-china-lands-two-nuclear-tupolev-tu-160-bombers-in-south-africa/ |
Just when you think you have seen it all, a father was caught driving his car in the rain while his kids at the backseat manually operates the broken windscreen wipers by pulling on them with tied rags. [img]https://imagizer./img924/7669/Ui6b78.jpg[/img] Did you know that driving with faulty windscreen wipers can put you and your passengers at risk of deadly accidents during heavy downpour? As parts of Nigeria get belted with heavy downpour, car owners are urged to check if their windscreen/windshield wipers are working before getting behind the wheels. So what would you do if you are caught with a defective windscreen wiper during a heavy downpour? [img]https://imagizer./img921/4715/mdgxFO.jpg[/img] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XPiaVZJDqM I think the normal thing to do is to find a way to park the car – if you are already driving before the rain started – and get the wiper fixed before you continue the journey. In this trending video, a man was caught driving in the rain while his kids and a woman at the backseat manually operates a broken windscreen wipers by pulling on them with tied rags. The short clip was filmed by a stunned motorist in the north-western Turkish province of Istanbul. Social media users had a lot to say about the car’s unusual feature and the ingenuity of the driver. One user said: “Nothing is impossible in this world!” Another user said: “If this happened to my car, it would never enter my mind to fix it like this.” A third user said: “Brilliant! Solutions to life’s problems are endless!” [img]https://imagizer./img922/5461/kC44zF.jpg[/img] The whole scene was funny, but like we’ve said earlier, it is very dangerous to drive with a defective windscreen wiper. Driving with faulty windscreen wipers can put the driver and the passengers at risk of deadly accidents during heavy downpour. You can also be caught and punished severely by the officers of FRSC and LASTMA. https://autojosh.com/see-how-kids-at-the-backseat-helped-their-father-wiped-the-windscreen-during-a-heavy-rain/ Cc Lalasticlala Mynd44 Seun |
