Nu er der igen kommet noget nyt på nettet, sagde min far her forleden. Og så prøvede han at forklare mig om weblogs, blogs og blogger. Hvad han ikke vidste, var at jeg selv har været og stadig er ivrig blogger hos www.2blog.dk. Det fortalte jeg ham så. Jeg fortalte ham også, at jeg synes, at han skal oprette en gratis blog hos dem. Det ville han da så tænke nærmere over, sagde han.

The Xzilarator is a custom machine created by Bob Kinney and it comes with three wheels. The Xzilarator costs approximately $3,500 USD (plus the bike) to build and be made street-legal. This number can fluctuate in either direction as the final cost depends greatly on the parts used to build your own Xzilarator. It is about a simple transformation from a bike to a three wheeler that will approximately take you a couple of months depending on the number of hours you wish to put in on each day. If you want your own version of the Xzilarator, then check out their website.

The Dodge Copperhead is a copper Fire Orange, front-engine, rear-wheel-drive, two-seater roadster convertible.

Compared to its older sibling, the Dodge Viper (also introduced in an auto show), Copperhead is three inches (76 mm) narrower, eight inches (203 mm) shorter, and has an additional 12 inches (304 mm) wheelbase.

Both cars use a 3.0 litre twin-turbo V6, although the power output of the M15’s unit is 455 bhp, 55 more than the M14’s. The 0-60 time was also improved, by exactly one second.

Autoweek reports that James Glickenhaus, a well-known car collector, has commissioned Pininfarina to build a one-off Ferrari inspired by the original Ferrari P3/4 racers from the late ’60s which he hopes to showcase at a premier automotive event this summer. For those who need a reminder of their history, the original Ferrari P3/4s beat the Ford GT40s at Daytona and won the constructors’ sports car championship in ’67, the year in which the GT40s won Le Mans.

The car was designed, engineered and built entirely by Pininfarina, bringing to life something that, just a few months earlier, was just a dream and creating a sort of symbiosis between the customer and Pininfarina along the path leading to definition of this astonishing model. Starting from a Ferrari Enzo, the aim was to produce a sole vehicle inspired by sport racing cars with extreme vocations: not just a show-car but a vehicle to be enjoyed on the road.
