When I search the Internet for interesting ideas for my posts, I often come across such inventions that I cannot even classify. The same with cars, I’ve come across so many car-like objects that it c Read the rest of this entry »

Bugatti Streamliner - a new toy for sheikhs The piece that was unveiled in Geneva by Bugatti is at the moment the only copy with a very vague future and perspectives. 1 500 000 euro for such a toy is all right only for a couple of crazy sheikhs which are too bored with “ordinary” Ferraris and Lamborghinis. At the moment that company is working on the new extreme hypercar – the 4-seat Bugatti Streamliner, which will get the front-mounted engines (just like the Veyron) ad the similar classic body shape. The design of the new car was laid upon the group of Maltese designers headed by Roiben Zammit. The designers were pleased to show a few sketches to the public. As for the power unit of the new car, the company decided on the W12 engine installed on Bentley Continental (the same engine is also used in Rolls-Royce Phaeton) All the remaining stuff has been left undisclosed and covered in mystic. But it is very likely that Bugatti Streamliner will be unveiled at the next auto show in Geneva. Technical Summary:

1. DO NOT drive a girl on an inspection pit right after meeting her. 2.First of all, it is recommended to try to estimate the year of make by eye. But you have to be very attentive, because girls like to make some pre-sell preparation – often the exterior doesn’t match the real state of things. Be especially aware of major repairs: plastic surgeons (women body-makers) do wonders. The artificial aging by the means of cosmetics and body-kits is extremely dangerous: the exploitation of underage creatures leads to a very long imprisonment. 3.The interior will be shown to you, but not at once. Before it you can look closely at the running gear. But be careful and attentive once more, sometimes even balancing won’t help. Avoid such cases! 4.As for the body: a few scratches shouldn’t lead you into confusion. One of women’s few advantages is the ability to regenerate. But if there are dents – things are in a bad way. 5.A forward flow is not a good thing for a girl. 6.A streamlined body – either. 7.The front and the rear bumpers should match each other in size. 8.You’d better not try the stiffness of the suspension by resting your hands and pushing on the body, it is not worth it, at least during the first date. 9.Moreover, you should not get too interested in the number of previous owners. Don’t get under the cowling at once either. 10.The major mistake: don’t try to tune “the brain” at once: the peculiarity of a girl is that she can automatically reverse. Girls with automatic transmission are very rare and simple in usage – they are not the ones to write about in manuals. 11.You can always consult devices in the correctness and order of your actions. As the devices act: the mouth (if it is elongated, than the systems work in order – you are on the right way), eyes (if they leak it is bad) etc. 12.Fist of all, you have to regulate the fuel admission system. As fuel might serve: dinners at various establishments (coffee-machines in a garage is not the best idea), cinema, theatre, small presents etc. You can even ask your girl about the best fuel (they speak sometimes). 13.After you make sure that the quality of the fuel is acceptable, which is confirmed by the appropriate indications of the devices and noiseless movement 14.Started? Heated? It’s high time for a test drive. For a long lasting union your satisfaction is not enough. She needs to be satisfied too, so do your best! 15.Power is not the most important thing in girls. Passability should not bother you either. Pay attention to dynamic, controllability and maneuverability. 16.And the most important thing: brakes. Quite a number of girls don’t have ones at all. You will have to regulate the handbrake. 17.ABS is a rare thing as well. The majority “skid” hopelessly. 18.If you like everything else you can get down to tuning. Buy and install devices according to your own taste. 19.Don’t forget about a warm and secure parking space, high-quality parts and anti-theft system. Moreover, submit to the fact that from this time on you have even less free time and money |
