Hear the one about the man who put a BMW V10 and Porsche GT3 brakes in a Volvo? No? That’s probably because it’s not actually a joke… The ever-interesting SpeedHunters has a great article about a Scandinavian bloke called Jesper Andersson who did just that, and the resulting car is thoroughly magnificent! You can read the article […]

Apparently Wednesday was “Batman Day”. This was news to us too, but to celebrate it, here is a video that has been around for a few months, but we just love it. It is an episode of the brilliant Jay Leno’s Garage YouTube series where Jay Leno drives the Batmobile from the Christopher Nolan movies – […]
So no doubt you have sold (or tried to sell) an old car before, but I bet you haven’t done it like this guy… Australian David Johns wanted to sell his 1999 Barina, so used his experience as a digital director to make this brilliant ad and accompanying website. We have absolutely no idea if […]
Had a crap day? Then this should make you smile… An elderly couple in Bel Air somehow managed to tip their Honda Jazz on its side – but instead of panicking, they posed for possibly the greatest picture of all time. It is not entirely clear exactly how the driver managed to tip the Jazz […]
Toyota recently teamed up with internet prankster Rahat to film a new promotion for its Aygo city car. This involved Rahat dressing up as a seat and driving the Aygo around Spain. It was relatively convincing, but as you will see, the best reactions came from the people who realised it was a guy dressed […]

Pretty much everything he did – from the glorious anarchy of ‘The Young Ones’ to the surreal blackness of “The Comic Strip Presents…” and the sleazy satire of “The New Statesman” – was hilarious […]
There is an absolutely wonderful daily email called “Now I Know” that I subscribe to that is a fantastic source of things that are rather interesting. It is written by a bloke called Dan Lewis and is a constant and always impressive surprise when it arrives (usually around midnight NZ time!) in my inbox. On of his […]
The kids in this video are extremely excited to meet a real life Transformer. And, let’s face it, we would probably react in a very similar way. Because this is AWESOME! Okay, we realise the guy is wearing a Bumblebee mask from the God-awful Michael Bay Transformers movies and Bumblebee was in no way, shape […]
Blindfold slaloms. They can be quite a fun idea, provided BOTH people involved know their lefts and rights properly. One of these people clearly didn’t…
Unless you are this woman, of course. This video is painful, yet utterly hypnotic to watch. While the utterly awful attempts at parking are simply fascinating, it is the brilliant commentary provided by the lads watching – first scornful, then wildly supportive when she actually looks like she is going to get there – that […]
