VW Taigun - mini SUV with turbo Drilling

VW presented in Brazil at the Sao Paulo Motor Show 2012 as a world premiere, the study of the newly developed compact SUV VW Taigun. The still dubbed as a study model expects VW to the family of the New Small Family, which is the family up.There was still no resolution for mass production, the Taigun would your family, but good, confesses VW.

VW Taigun with 110 hp turbo gasoline engine

VW Taigun is 3.86 meters long, 1.73 meters wide and 1.57 meters high. The wheelbase measures 2.47 meters. From short overhangs, crisp proportions. The design is based on the typical VW lines. in the wheel arches, 17-inch alloy wheels with 205/50er rotate tires.A high ground clearance also ensures a degree of front-wheel drive off-road capability.The all-planking and underride protection elements also underscore the offroad character. It also has a roof rack with integrated LED lighting and a horizontally split tailgate. Behind it is a 280 liter boot, which can be extended if necessary to 987 liters.Powering the VW Taigun by a newly developed three-cylinder turbo petrol engine of a liter displacement, 110 hp from 1,500 rpm and 175 Nm torque already provides. This will be later on in the VW UP GT. This is the 985 kg heavy VW Taigun 186 km / h fast and be in 9.2 seconds from zero to 100 km / h. The average consumption should be around 4.5 liters. If the VW Taigun come as a production model, it is probably not going to start before 2015.

Alfa Giulietta 2.0 JTDM TCT - 170 hp diesel engine and automatic

Is the Alfa Giulietta 2.0 JTDM TCT also with dual-clutch transmission. How well the automatic switch box in harmony with the 170-horsepower diesel engine?
Do you remember the Alfa Romeo 156 Selespeed? End of the last millennium, the first automatic transmission came on the market in which the driver to change gears could move sequentially like in Formula 1 - if he wanted to. Otherwise, took over the control not only the domes including gas permeable intermediate shocks when shifting down, they were also the switching strategy. Because of the Inherent power flow interruption when opening the clutch, the gear change was either fast and hard or slow and soft - for comfort lovers no substitute for a fully automatic transmission.

Together with the high-torque two-liter diesel with 170 hp that can expect a superior combination. Performance and fuel consumption (7.1 l/100 km on average) of the equipped with start-stop technology and Alfa Giulietta 2.0 JTDM TCT give no cause for complaint. The agile chassis shows its strength on a flat track, while on bumpy and pitted sections weaknesses in the response of the suspension to light. The gear works best under ideal conditions, but they convince themselves as the two driving modes - normal and dynamic - is limited.

In standard mode the gearshifts unusually slow their pace also through manual intervention at the selector lever - steering wheel paddle shifters cost 115 euros extra - not increased. Only in the dynamic mode, the transition into the Alfa Giulietta 2.0 JTDM TCT works as crisp as one is used by about DSG models of VW. However, this mode is affected in addition to the gearbox, which shifts up now not only faster, but also later, other parameters. Steering and engine response also change towards sporty nervous - like it or not. And in some situations, the transmission controller works simply insensitive - or slow speed maneuvering in car parks rarely goes off without unsightly imperfections.

This could be the next Niva

Lada presented at the Moscow Motor Show, the SUV study X-Ray, which was penned by former Volvo designer Steve Mattin. The British native has recorded the Volvo XC60 and also worked for Mercedes before he could enjoy themselves at future SUV. But the Lada X-Ray will not remain mere finger exercise, but should provide a design preview of upcoming models. We see here is one future Lada Niva? "Maybe" is probably the correct answer. Some elements of style, such as the striking front are sure sooner or later to the one or the other Lada model used. Otherwise remains Lada further information on X-Ray guilty. Specifications? None. All-wheel drive is awarded to the Lada X-Rax, otherwise. An uncanny resemblance to the Opel Ampera, the Nissan Juke, a little Volvo, Lexus, Kia, and Dacia Duster X-Ray, deserves to be called the Lada, thanks to its front, indicate when the headlights and grill items, a flat X.

Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral

The NASA space center is located about 50 miles east of Orlando and is one of the main attractions of the state of Florida. When they then decided an aerospace center to be based on the barrier island, the foundation stone for the exploration of the universe was formed. NASA, which was founded in the late fifties, took over the space center and has since coordinated the execution of all space missions. Where would the industry or economy today without all of those inventions that were developed by the space are. These discoveries were made possible only through an extensive research program.

The Space Center consists of five main parts. These include the "KSC Industrial Area" (Ver-stration, etc.), the launch pads, the over 4.5 km long runway for the shuttle, the actual launch site and the visitor center. Car service is available to travel to Cape Canaveral There also start at different bus tours.

Limos Versus Taxis - It's all in the quality

Some people claim that not more than sedans over-glorified taxis, ten times the price. These people obviously do not go to a professional Tampa limousine service before.

Taxis serve the purpose of getting you where you want to go cheap, easy and fast. Limousines are a different matter:

Taxis will take you there, Limos take you there. A taxi focus is on you to get to your destination as quickly as possible in order to make room for other potential customers. Thus, their priority to get you there, to your destination.

A professional Tampa airport transportation limousine service sees things differently: they make sure that the journey is comfortable and that you enjoy the journey even possible in the most luxurious and prestigious way. The priority will always be there, in the best possible way.

Drivers, chauffeur - The difference is in the details: a driver just drives you to your destination without regard for you. Your obligation ends, as long as you are taken to your destination. Nothing else matters: not your own safety, not your satisfaction, or even your personal well-being.

A professional limousine chauffeur sees it differently. A customer who is in a Tampa limo steps to ensure 100% that they are like a king for the duration that their services are required to be treated. A limo driver will not simply bring you to your goal: he even looks out for your safety, satisfaction and above all, your happiness and well-being.

Wish for more special occasions, you would in a vehicle representative of the importance of the occasion to ride. The entry into, riding, boarding and alighting from a limousine is just a certain feeling of elegance and prestige, which can give you just a limousine. Keep this in mind when you think about hiring a limousine to Tampa you back and forth carrying your special occasions.

Save money, preserve memories - Let's face it: taxis from winning hands when it comes to the money department. A few dollars would trounce sound a hundred-dollar limousine service when it comes to the financial department.

Tampa Limousine Service is there for that express purpose: to ensure that you have good memories of those rare memories that you have to make. What are a few dollars if you are having the time of your life?

For those special occasions, you need a better way to get you where you need to be. Whether to celebrate it, go for a honeymoon, or in style, the VIP party is to bring, you can include a professional Tampa limousine services, the most of the time making.

To the origin of Valentine's day, there are many legends. One version was in ancient Rome to the 14th February, the holiday in honor of Juno, goddess of women and marriage, and the day before the Roman feast of Lupercalia. At that time, growing boys and girls separately. On the feast of Lupercalia the names of young unmarried girls were written on little cards. This came in a huge lottery wheel, pulled out of the young men the name of their partner for the duration of the festival. Some of the matched pairs remained together in this way for a long time, and some even received the covenant of marriage. Dragging name cards may be a source for the Valentine's cards in use today.


Mostly, however, Valentine's Day on the legend of the Bishop Valentine of Terni is returned, the 3rd Century as a Christian martyr died. According to legend, he had many lovers married Christian, including soldiers who had to remain unmarried at that time the imperial command. Often Valentine gave the newly wed couples flowers from his garden - a possible origin for the tradition of giving flowers on this day (and from florists again often cited). Valentin Marriages are said to have been under a lucky star. Under Emperor Claudius II was, however, the exercise of the Christian faith, the death penalty - Valentine was executed, according to tradition, on 14 February, either in 269 or 270 AD.
