The heavily customised “Pope Bike”, known as “White Unique”, was dubbed a “Holy Davidson” by auctioneers Bonhams. It was delivered to Pope Francis on July 7th, 2019 by Jesus Bikers and Würzburg Village. [img]https://imagizer./img923/1186/mQXBnO.jpg[/img] [img]https://imagizer./img924/3197/ytYkEL.jpg[/img] The 1570cc Twin Cam custom bike is finished in white pearlescent paint and gold-plated trim pieces.

Auction house Bonhams had earlier estimated that the bike will sell for between $55,000 to $110,000 at the auction on Sunday in Stafford. [img]https://imagizer./img921/7861/Zpdfmx.jpg[/img] Proceeds will be donated to charity to help build an orphanage and a school in Uganda for abandoned and deprived children.

The auctioned price was four times the base price of a Huracan. 70 percent of the money went to war ravaged Nineveh in Iraq.

[img]https://imagizer./img924/815/qhCnMu.jpg[/img] North Korean leader Kim Jong Un travels around the world with his customized luxury rides, including the luxurious Mercedes Maybach S600 Pullman Guard and a Mercedes Maybach S62. His 21.3-feet long Mercedes Maybach S600 Pullman Guard is about 4.5-feet longer than the standard Maybach and roughly the size of two and a half Smart Fortwo placed bumper-to-bumper. It is fitted with laminated windows, steel and armored floors to withstand bullets and explosives. The reclusive leader recently got himself a luxury Rolls-Royce Phantom. [img]https://imagizer./img924/9711/kEJ48M.jpg[/img] According to defector Lee Yun-keol, who worked in the North Korean Guard Command before defecting to South Korea in 2005, a vehicle in North Korean leader's convoy is a rolling restroom. He said: "Rather than using a public restroom, the leader of North Korea has a personal toilet that follows him around when he travels"And why would the supreme leader customize his million dollar armoured cars with a "working toilet? The defector added that it prevents foreign spies from collecting the samples which obviously contains informations about his current health status. "The leader's excretions contain information about his health status, so they can't be left behind"[img]https://imagizer./img921/2245/jHN1aK.jpg[/img] Daimler still can't explain how he got his extra-luxurious Mercedes-badged armoured cars despite the United Nations sanctions. "Our company has had no business connections with North Korea for far more than 15 years now and strictly complies with E.U. and U.S. embargoes" According to a recent report by the Center for Advanced Defense Studies in Washington, as many as 90 countries, including United Nations Security Council member nations and American allies — China, Russia, Japan and South Korea, served as the sources of luxury goods for North Koreans between 2015 to 2017.

| Foreign Affairs › Flood From Typhoon Destroys Japanese Bullet Trains Worth ₦108b by obafemee80(op): 6:49pm On Oct 19, 2019 |
[img]https://imagizer./img921/7017/C97AVm.jpg[/img] The death toll from Typhoon Hagibis, the 19th to hit Japan this year, has risen to 74. Thousands of residents remain without power or water after the powerful wind struck eastern and central Japan last week Saturday. Floodings caused by the Typhoon has also drowned ten 12 car bullet trains operated by Japan Railway Co. The typhoon brought torrential rain which triggered the overflow of a nearby Chikuma River. All the 120 cars on the ten bullet trains were damaged by the flood. Two of these trains were also derailed, with one being swept 10 to 15 meters from its original position. The figure is around one-third of all the trains used on the Hokuriku Shinkansen Line. The line connects Tokyo and Kanazawa in central Japan. Services are expected to be fully restored in a weeks time. To resume the line, Railway operator, East Japan Railway Co. (JR East) will utilize backup bullet trains to restore 80 percent of the normal timetable by Oct. 25. [img]https://imagizer./img924/7705/ukDROi.jpg[/img] The affected trains will be scrapped despite the undercarriage waterproof features. The operators fears the trains will not run safely after being submerged for a long period. According to a railway systems specialist, the affected cars “May have suffered fatal damage to their core parts including motor speed control inverters.”Each of these totally submerged bullet trains cost an estimated 3.3 billion yen ( $30 million or about ₦10.8 billion) brand new. Japan’s world-renowned high speed Shinkansen trains are rarely late. Each of these bullet-trains departs Tokyo Station every few minutes for Osaka and other destinations. The lines are viable alternative to air travel. https://autojosh.com/bullet-trains-drownedflood-from-typhoon-hagibis-destroys-10-japanese-super-fast-trains-worth-n108b/ 5 Likes 3 Shares |

[img]https://imagizer./img921/2702/hH3z5s.jpg[/img] [img]https://imagizer./img921/2791/myKH8K.jpg[/img] Manchester City star Sergio Aguero was involved in a minor car crash while driving to training on Wednesday morning. The Argentine was on his way to Etihad Campus facility on when he crashed his £150,000 customized LUMMA CLR SV Range Rover Sport. The 31-year-old was fortunate to walk away from the crash unhurt - but the same cannot be said of his LUMMA CLR SV Range Rover Sport SUV. [img]https://imagizer./img923/2636/FGYjoi.jpg[/img] The gun-metal grey British-made Range Rover Sport Utility Vehicle suffered serious damage to the front-right wheel. Aguero later posted a photo of his damaged Range Rover SUV on Instagram and said: "What a great morning"[img]https://imagizer./img922/9909/WwuUkQ.jpg[/img] The £250k-a-week (₦117 million) City ace still have a Lamborghini Aventador to drive around Manchester. The 218mph Lamborghini is Aguero’s fastest car. It can hit 0-60mph in just 2.9 seconds Aguero also has luxury rides like custom-wrapped Nissan GT-R and a Ferrari GTC4 Lusso supercar in his fleet. This is not the first time that Aguero has been involved in a car crash. Two years ago, the Argentine star suffered broken ribs after the taxi he was travelling in crashed into a lamppost in Amsterdam. [img]https://imagizer./img923/3647/cpXB0R.jpg[/img] While initial reports suggested that the Manchester City star would miss up to six weeks, Aguero returned to action two weeks after the accident. Sergio Aguero will be available for selection when City travel to Selhurst Park to face Crystal Palace on Saturday. He has nine goals and two assists in eight matches in all competitions for City this term. Man City needs their talisman as Pep Guardiola's side look to keep up with rampant league leaders Liverpool. City lost their last match 2-0 at home to Wolves, while Liverpool made it eight wins out of eight by beating Leicester - to open up an eight-point gap. https://autojosh.com/manchester-city-star-sergio-aguero-crashes-customized-150000-range-rover-sport-while-driving-to-training/ 1 Like |
| Car Talk › Hyundai Puts Some1 In Exhaust-filled Bubble To Show How Clean Nexo's Emission Is by obafemee80(op): 3:17pm On Oct 16, 2019 |
https://i2.wp.com/autojosh.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/hyundai-nexo-6.jpg The Nexo is a hydrogen fuel cell powered crossover SUV from South Korean automaker, Hyundai Motors. It is the flagship for Hyundai’s eco car portfolio. To fuel the hydrogen-powered Nexo SUV is just as easy as fueling a petrol and diesel-powered vehicles. It takes just three to five minutes to refill the tank with Hydrogen gas. The only emission produced by Nexo is water vapour and 99.9 per cent filtered oxygen. Compared to conventional cars like petrol and diesel-powered vehicles, which emits harmful waste products into the atmosphere. To demonstrate how clean the emissions is, Hyundai Spain trapped the cars emissions by connecting the Nexo’s exhausts to a sealed air bubble. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fNH3RBIQK8?list=PLzeiTOjjvDp2WScXrOorSsCv3dXVnfE0a The automaker now asked Spanish swimmer and brand ambassador, Mireia Belmonte, to run in the bubble that is already filled with Nexo’s exhaust flow. If these bubble setups were to be connected to a petrol or diesel-powered vehicle, the results would be fatal. That’s the main reason why drivers are warned never to warm a petrol/diesel powered cars in a less ventilated garage. Hyundai Nexo The Nexo packs plenty of luxuries, including 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability.

| Car Talk › Indian King Who Turned 6 Brand New Rolls-royces Into A Waste Collection Vehicles by obafemee80(op): 9:23pm On Sep 16, 2019 |
https://i0.wp.com/autojosh.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/IMG_20190916_201440_802-600x333.jpg Did you know that the Indians bought about 20 per cent of all the Rolls-Royce cars built before the First World War? It has been estimated that on average, each of the over 200 maharajas had about 3.5 Rolls-Royce cars. One of the most famous stories about the maharajas is about King Jai Singh, the Maharaja of Alwar, who took revenge on Rolls-Royce by turning his cars into garbage collectors. https://i0.wp.com/autojosh.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/IMG_20190915_183430_475-600x393.jpg In the 1920s, an indian man, dressed in a casual attire, walked into a Rolls-Royce dealership in central London to inquire about the price of the Phantom II Tourer. Since he didn't look like a typical Rolls-Royce customer, the salesman snubbed him and showed him the way out of the showroom. When he got back to his hotel room, the young man told one his servants to call the Rolls-Royce showroom that King Jai, the Maharaja of Alwar, is interested in buying a Rolls-Royce car. Few hours later, the young man was back at the Rolls Royce showroom, but this time with his full astonishing royal manner and in his royal costume, walking on a red carpet and all the salesmen bent to show respect. The King bought all the six Rolls-Royce cars they had at showroom and even ordered the salesman to personally deliver the luxury cars to India. After reaching India, the King, in the presence of the Rolls-Royce salesman, ordered municipal department, just like the todays LAWMA, to use all the six brand new Rolls-Royce cars for cleaning and collecting city’s waste. https://i1.wp.com/autojosh.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/IMG_20190915_181721_565-600x436.jpg The news travelled so fast across the world, despite the lack of social media, that Rolls-Royces were now being used in India for cleaning and carrying the city's wastes.( Picture attached: 1934 Ford coupe ) Due to reputation damages, the sales of Rolls-Royces dropped rapidly. Finally, a telegram carrying an official apology was sent to the maharaja’s palace in Alwar, imploring him to take the dirt-cleaning Rolls-Royces off service. In addition, the British luxury automaker also gave the maharaja six brand new Rolls-Royce cars free of charge. Maharaja Jeetender Singh of Alwar said in 2004, "That incident was burnt into the collective family memory,"https://i2.wp.com/autojosh.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/IMG_20190916_204316_618.jpg https://i2.wp.com/autojosh.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/IMG_20190916_204608_576.jpg Today, Rolls-Royce has a lineup that includes the Phantom, Wraith, Ghost, Dawn and Cullinan.

The fastest speed the latest RAV4 was able to get through the moose test was 68 km/h (42 mph), which is below the publication’s 70 km/h (43.4 mph) minimum. By comparison, the Nissan Qashqai, which performed at an all time best level, was able to pass through the test at 84 km/h (52.1 mph). The much-heavier Kia Sorrento recorded a speed of 78 km/h (48.4 mph) -- See the short clip above. And this isn't the first time a Toyota product will fail the famous Moose Test. In 2007, the Hilux pickup without stability control went up on two wheels and was close to flipping over at such low speed as 57 km/h (35 mph). Toyota dissected the failure, which soon resulted in sales stop for the car. Toyota later equipped it with 16-inch wheels whose wider tyres gave too much grip. https://i2.wp.com/autojosh.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/IMG_20190915_154605_784.jpg Nine years later, in 2016, the new generation of Hilux was tested again against its competitors. And in the moose test, the red Hilux went up on two wheels and was close to flip over. Toyota has responded to the latest results on its all-new RAV4 crossover SUV. Toyota says: "At Toyota, the safety of our customers is our number one priority, and to ensure their security, we apply strict safety tests during the development of all our products. Our internal tests fully meet the global standards for obstacle avoidance, and since 2016, we have updated our processes to also reflect the procedures used by Teknikens Varld.https://autojosh.com/toyota-respond-after-all-new-rav4-performed-woefully-in-avoidance-maneuver-test/ 6 Likes 2 Shares |

https://i0.wp.com/autojosh.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/IMG_20190909_144732_425.jpg Former Chairman of the Board of Management of Daimler AG and head of Mercedes-Benz, Dieter Zetsche, officially handed the reign over to Ola Källenius in May after 13 years at the helm of one of the biggest auto brand on the planet. According to Daimler spokesperson, the former chairman will pocket an annual pension package of €1.05 million (₦420 million) starting from 2020. The Daimler spokesperson also revealed that Zetsche would also be entitled to draw on a separate retirement fund set up for Daimler managers which could amount to an additional €500,000 (₦200 m) per year. "There could be further claims on top of that", adding that the pension package was set in 2017. That amount, when combined with his €1.05 million pension package, would break down to around €4,250 or approximately ₦1.7 million per day in Naira. The sixty-six year old current chairman of TIU stands to make even more money if he joins the Daimler board, which he would be eligible to do in 2021. Zetsche's pension is on track to become the highest received by a boss of a major German company. Until now, former Volkswagen head, Martin Winterkorn, held the title for the highest company pension package of about €3,100 per day (₦1.2m) in Germany. Dr Dieter Zetsche, a graduate of electrical engineering, joined the research department of Daimler-Benz AG in 1976. He was appointed as a member of the Group Management Board in December 1998 and became the CEO of Daimler AG on 1 January 2006. He was also head of Mercedes-Benz Cars Division. https://autojosh.com/ex-daimler-boss-dr-dieter-zetsche-will-earn-n1-7m-per-day-in-retirement/ Cc Lalasticlala Mynd44 1 Like 1 Share |

The airline on Thursday volunteered to send an aircraft to South Africa from Friday, September 6, to evacuate stranded Nigerians who wish to return to the country free of charge. The warning comes after a Nigerian living in South Africa, Fred Okeke, inquired from the airline to confirm whether the flight is really free or not. “We heard that you are donating the flight for free evacuation from South Africa to Nigeria, but it is very unfortunate to hear that they are asking the affected victims to pay the sum of $1000 as registration to be eligible to benefit from the fight. So I want to bring it to your notice.”Air Peace Chairman, Allen Onyema, stressed that the evacuation was free because the airline was concerned about the safety of Nigerians following the Xenophobic attacks in South Africa. “We have not designated or recruited any agent in South Africa to collect money on behalf of Air Peace.https://autojosh.com/air-peace-warned-against-scammers-collecting-n363k-for-its-free-evacuation-flight-from-south-africa/ 8 Likes 2 Shares |

| Car Talk › This ₦990k Made-In-Nigeria Keke Comes With Doors & Front/Reverse Cameras by obafemee80(op): 12:18pm On Aug 31, 2019 |
https://i0.wp.com/autojosh.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/IMG_20190831_084405_787.jpg Meet the most luxurious and safest Keke you will ever find on Nigerian road. The new brand, named Motoshine Tricycle, was created after the man behind the luxury three-Wheeler, Mr Olumide Peter Adesina, boarded the popular Keke Marwa/Napep -- known to come with no doors -- during a heavy downpour. In addition to keeping the passengers dry during heavy rain, the CEO, Dragon Motors, Olumide Peter Adesina, also said the tricycle will reduce the rate of accidents caused by tricycles and motorcycles in the country. https://i2.wp.com/autojosh.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/IMG_20190831_084425_020.jpg “Between December 2014 and April 2015, motorcycle accidents increased by 34 per cent, both in recorded death cases and injuries. This is a big loss to the government and society at large and Motoshine will help reduce these numbers drastically”Formerly imported but now assembled in Lagos with the hope of empowering our youths and creating job opportunities, the tricycle cost ₦990,000 compared to ₦700,00 the 3-passengers Keke Marwa/Napep goes for in Nigeria. https://i1.wp.com/autojosh.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/IMG_20190831_084412_339.jpg It comes in two different models and designed to carry 4 - 6 passengers comfortable, compared to 3/4 the Keke Marwa carries. It is also fitted with secured doors to protect passengers from falling out and getting wet on raining days. Other features includes a front and reverse cameras, as well as cooling fans for increased ventilation. Powering this Keke is a 150cc Single Cylinder 4 Stroke Water Cool engine that gives a maximum speed of 60km/hr.

The rhino was brought to Serengeti Park in Hodenhagen, North Germany, for breeding purposes. It's not clear what prompted it to pounce on the car. https://autojosh.com/scary-moment-an-angry-rhino-flipped-its-keepers-volkswagen-golf-like-a-toy-at-a-safari-park/ Cc Lalasticlala Mynd44 2 Likes 1 Share |
