Looking back at the new Smart Fortwo

by Muamer Hodzic (RSS feed) January 31st, 2007 at 9:13 am

Should an icon like the smart fortwo undergo further development at all? The answer is “yes” – indeed, this is a must. For the new smart fortwo it was important to strike a balance between retaining the strengths of the previous model on the one hand and venturing new ideas on the other hand.

TAG Heuer SLR for Mercedes Benz Fans

by Muamer Hodzic (RSS feed) January 30th, 2007 at 4:16 pm

I posted a video a month or so ago about the TAG Heuer watch with a distinct Mercedes SLR look. The latest product of a long and fruitful partnership between Mercedes-Benz Accessories GmbH and the Swiss watchmaker TAG Heuer, the new “TAG Heuer SLR for Mercedes-Benz” automatic chronograph combines the classical art of watchmaking with superior technology and exclusivity. The third chronograph to emerge from this collaboration will be available as from the summer in a limited edition of 3,500 pieces. The special hallmarks of this high-tech timepiece include the arrangement of the chronograph’s buttons beside the dial, echoing the layout of the shift buttons on the automatic transmission selector lever in the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren super sports car.

This is it.; they finally show the Hammond crash on Top Gear more than 2 months after it happend. He did three runs, and let me tell you that I was scared on everyone of them in anticipation of the crash. It is a weired feeling watching a video that could have killed him, and ironically that is what he jokes about during the taping of the crash.
