No longer on trend: Personalised plates Anklets Smoking Flavoured coffees Bling phone cases Fake tans Stick figure family stickers on back windows of cars Never been on trend: Loud cell phone users in public spaces Drunken under 30 something women Lane swappers on motorway - no indication Anything served on a plastic plate Reality television spot lighting celebrities Don���t try this at home After observing basketball NBA star Kobe Bryant seemingly jumping over a speeding Aston in a commercial, a 19 year old boy attempted to do the same. Bladimir Marreto from Palm Bay, Florida, attempted to jump over a car driving towards him to showcase his vertical skills in an attempt to get noticed by football scouts. Needless to say the boy failed, suffering serious, but not life-threatening injuries. The driver of the vehicle, the boy���s brother, now has charges pending against him for reckless driving and driving without a license. Surely there are easier ways to get noticed.

The van has been in the world market since 1950 and has built the reputation of being the perfect escape vehicle for the flower child. The move was both courtesy of stricter safety laws and a cultural shift for the brand. Volkswagen has confirmed it is working on a modern day interpretation of the Kombi. But for now, it is time to raise a glass and say your goodbyes to the iconic Kombi Van. Source: The Sydney Morning Herald The Top Five Favourite Cars used by TV Cops Driverless Car is Wireless Star at MIT At a launch event for MIT���s wireless technology research centre, PhD students presented new technology for driverless (autonomous) vehicles. There have been several other autonomous cars developed, most famously by Google who in May attained Nevada���s selfdriving car license that cleared the way for them to test the vehicle on public roads. The MIT researchers presented CarSpeak, technology that enables the cars to recognise dangers lurking around corners and behind buildings. CarSpeak works by compressing the data scanned by the cars of the area around their vehicle and sharing it between other autonomous cars, thus generating images that the cars use to identify the sneaky hazards.

STARSKY AND HUTCH The Nike-striped Starsky and Hutch Ford Torino was a star in the late 70s. Unfortunately the car was poorly produced so was not as quick as it looked on the show. THE SWEENEY The stripped-out Ford Consul 3-litre manual car was the last Ford to wear a Consul banner and was showcased brilliantly by Jack Regan in The Sweeney. HEARTBEAT The Ford Anglia in early Panda livery generally managed to catch the criminals in the village of Aidensfield in Heartbeat. BERGERAC The Triumph Roadster was quick enough to chase down anyone, but although it was a beautiful looking car it was extremely temperamental. Source: Stuff www.h e rmagaz in e .co.n z | 65
