Google Maps Alphabet

c/o Stephen again!

Impressive new Citroen DS3























I think the design gone into this car is pretty impressive...the vertical LED lights on the front, the mad looking B-pillar (the pillar in the middle of the car!) and the appearance of a kind of floating roof!
Well done Citroen I say!
Make your own colour combo here!

The Coolest house EVER!


Here's a few pics of the Flaming Lips singer's house! (thanks Stephen!) It's SO cool...check it out! (click on the numbers down the side of the picture) And look at that ceiling fan! WOW!

(Didn't want to post a picture just in case...says need permission!)

Chococo! This one makes me go mmm more than ooo!

Slab of chocolate mum brought back from London for me..."Outrageous Orange in Dark Chocolate - Handmade bar of Venezuelan Carenero Superior bean dark chocolate, infused with natural blood orange oil and studded with Italian candied orange peel"!

I thought it looked pretty cool! And it tasted just as good!!

New Audi A1


My blog wouldn't be complete without some Audi!


Fancy going to New York for the day?

Transatlantic Train

London to New York - under the sea - 5000km long - 8000kmph - 54minutes

It takes 18minutes to accelerate to top speed, a person would feel little effect.

The tunnel is a vacuum so there's no air resistance.

The train hovers and moves by electromagnetism so there's no friction.

It can carry 1000people at a time, will cost the world hundreds of billions of dollars to build and take almost 20 years!

Ooo!

Check it out in detail on the Discovery Channel website

The Shimizu Mega-City Pyramid - Tokyo


This is a huge pyramid that the Japanese are planning to build in the bay in Tokyo. It's pretty ugly I think, but also pretty amazing! It's a whole city! It has skyscrapers, parks and a transport system that runs through all the trusses...trams for long journeys and moving walkways for journeys up to 1km!
It can house 750,000 people, without there being a single car! It's 55 times bigger than the Great Pyramid and the Luxor hotel in Las Vegas (the yellow triangle shown)...which is pretty big!
Helicopters can even fly through it! Ooo!
