STARTECH Land Rover Defender 90 Yachting Edition

The Land Rover Defender and Mercedes Gelandewagen (G-Class) are the epitome of true off-road vehicles.  The Land Rover Defender has been one of my favourite SUVs ever since I was young because of its utilitarian look and a go anywhere attitude, it isn’t as luxurious as the Gelandewagen but German tuners STARTECH (subsidiary of Brabus) took care of that with the Land Rover Defender 90 Yachting Edition, which will be showcased at the Essen Motor Show in Germany.

As the name would suggest, the Defender is based on luxury yachts, which can be seen on the luxurious interior that features premium navy blue leather on the seats and the dashboard with contrasting baseball style cross stitching on the sporty Recaro bucket seats for the driver and front passenger.  The headliner is covered with blue Alcantara and the floors feature yacht-styled luxurious wood panels.  There is enough luxury in this Defender that it could easily be mistaken for a Range Rover.

Much Much Go Custom Motorcycle – Based on a 1979 Honda CB250T

Honda-CB250T-Much-Much-Go

Much Much Go is a custom bike built by Australian industrial designer Nick Eterovic.  The bike was showcased at the inaugural “Boundless Enthusiasm Bike Build-Off”, and of course it won first place and also won Peoples’ Choice award at the show.

The Much Much Go is an extremely attractive custom motorcycle; I don’t know why I’m so drawn to it?  Maybe it is because of the simplicity of its design and the fact that it doesn’t look like all those “bigger is better” choppers that we see rough-looking guys riding around.  The bike used for the project is a 1979 Honda CB250T with a lot customization.

High Fidelity – The New Lancia Stratos

stratosIf there had to be only two things to remember that the 1970’s did for automotive history, the first would be the death of the muscle car and the second being the rise of the legendary Lancia Stratos. The iconic light weight wedge design with a Ferrari engine molded the definition of rally racing in the 70’s by winning championship titles from 1974-76 and establishing victories in the Monte Carlo Rally between 1975-1977. Forty years later, its back to take another bite in automotive history.

Movie Review: The Chronicles Of Narnia: The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, based on the third-published book in C.S. Lewis’ beloved Chronicles book series finds Lucy (Georgie Henley) and Edmund (Skandar Keynes) dreaming of returning to Narnia where they were a queen and king. In England, they are stuck living with their aunt and uncle during World War II. Instead of battling mythical creatures, they’re stuck fighting with their annoying cousin Eustace (Will Poulter). Then one day a painting in their room comes to life and transports them back to Narnia and onto the Dawn Treader, the sailing vessel of King Caspian (Ben Barnes). At first they are unsure why they have been called back, but soon learn of the evil of Dark Island, which has been trapping people in its seductive green mist and set out on a quest to find the Seven Lost Lords in order to stop the evil.

As I walked into the screening I can honestly say I was not anticipating much from the film because it’s predecessor; PRINCE CASPIAN was a major let down but I was pleasantly pleased. DAWN TREADER kept my attention all the way through and with its fun characters; actions sequences and shorter viewing time made it less of chore to sit through. The budget was cut back significantly for this film due to the underwhelming

Transformers 3: Dark Of The Moon – First Official Trailer

This is the first trailer for the third installment in Michael Bay’s Transformer series, Transformers 3: Dark Of The Moon.

The trailer doesn’t show much, but we do see a fictional take on Neil Armstrong’s 1969 moon landing, and as expected, he finds an alien ship on the moon.  We’re not too excited about this one because for starters, the name sounds pretty lame, and secondly, Shia LaBeouf is stil the leader actor… yikes. Even worse…
