Porsche Cayenne as an Ambulance?

So whats the first thing that springs to mind when you think of an Ambulance? Loud sirens and flashing blue lights? Big and cumbersome vehicle?

This is an example of an ambulance:   

and here is a Porsche Cayenne:      

Not usually something considered together in any thought you may have… but not so for the Health Ministry of Bulgaria!

The cash-strapped ministry is taking out a loan from the World Bank to buy a fleet of 32 Cayenne’s to serve as ambulances/patient transports.

Can’t help but wonder how some officials at the Ministry are probably just hoping to use all of this as an excuse to get thier hands on a high performance car for the weekends. For a while anyway… to ‘test drive’ it…

There are many alternatives that could have been chosen. Especially the Volkswagon Touareg as it is so similar. (I wasn’t surprised to discover the Cayenne and Touareg were developed together as I remember thinking how much it looked like a Cayenne when I first seen one.)

The Touareg would be a lot cheaper than the Cayyene for sure. The Ministry does however state that it was from Porsche that it received the lowest bid. Maybe Porsche will be making the real money on this from the maintanence after the sale.

I guess if you can have a Lamborghini Gallardo as a police car in Italy.. then why not a Cayenne for an Ambulance?

Well more on this story here. As well as more comments and suggestions of alternatives…

Funny guy on Treadmill

Ok its probably very harsh to be laughing at this guy… but you have to admit. Funny is funny.

So I am going to roll with it. Dont care about the racist element to it (which is evident in the youtube comments for this vid.)

P.S. Just to note, I would laugh at this vid whatever race, colour or creed this guy was… If he’s shrieking like a banshee… Why not?

Are we just getting immune to its excessive use in society?

OK you have all seen the great film of Pulp Fiction right?

(If you havent, dont say anything to embarrass yourself here and quickly run along to see it at the earliest opportunity. Then come back.)

So back to those that have, how about a quick summary of the whole film containing all the important parts of the film?

Warning: There may be an occasional use of bad language in this clip. Press play with caution!

Now back to my point. How many of you really noticed how excessively it was used, while watching the film properly?

Has it lost its impact? Or is it still as vulgar as it was when we were all kids and was scolded harshly by our parents at the first utterance of the word, after having picked it up somewhere and not knew what it meant…

Well let me know your comments anyway…

Everything changes…

Its a frightening world we live in… and its going to get scarier.
The age of Globalisation. The Information Age.

Great video that lays out all the stark facts and figures to you with some nice music too…

Woohoo! Aston Martin is back in British hands!

…Or so the headlines screamed the last few days…So what does this even mean?

Well for those of you who are unaware of Aston Martin… it is the manufacturer of luxury performance cars, founded in 1913, by Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford, with headquarters in Gaydon, Warwickshire, England.

So still. What does that mean?

Time for a picture I think….

This is a car by Aston Martin! (You can hover over each word to see too! )

Hopefully we’re all on the same page now.

Right then, back to my point. Up until a few days ago, the famous English marque was actually in the ownership of the great Ford Motor Company of America.

Well after a brief liason with American Ford, it seems the beloved Aston is back home.

Cause for celebration then?

Must be why all the news media have been screaming in delight at its return. And ’screaming’ they have:

• Brits To Take Back Aston Martin
• Aston Martin British Once More
• Aston Martin returns to British soil
• Ford sell Aston Martin back to Britain

So is the fanfare justified?

Not really, no.

Yes, Dave Richards, a brit, did lead the consortium that bought Aston from Ford, but did he do it alone? Its an all-British endeavour?

Ever the procrastinator!

Well then… Since I created this blog for when I am in procrastination mode, my first post should reflect this I think.

So for when you are also procrastinating, avoiding study, being in denial about deadlines, and such such… spend away your time with this.
 

 

Now let me tell you this. The link will open to show a white screen taking up whole window.
All you have to do is move your mouse over it and away you go!
Just have a good tune on in the background and you’ll soon find out how it helps.
No need to think much at all, click the mouse, press any keys on your keyboard, etc.
What more can a procrastinator ask for right?
However, when you do feel like doing some clicking, there is some veeery faint buttons along the bottom. Leave you to figure what they do…

Well heres the link! >>LineTo experimental by ~Volcanic-Penguin
