Driving license test in UK is one of the toughest ones but still people confuse the wrong way! Hopefully nobody is hurt in this incident! Actually I don't like to post this kind of videos but the truck driver deserve a respect.
A great video from Mercedes-Benz
Today I was a bit tired and was not planning to post anything for today. However, I could not stop myself when I saw the best video ever shot by the Mercedes-Benz. Yes, they made it!!! After many years, they manage to make something really original and funny and including Schumacher :)
Here it is! My opinion for the driver, of course Schumacher. He is the best on any weather and surface condition, unfortunately his car is not as good as him. Additionally, Rosberg can have all the points in the world but he cannot have more than Schumacher :)

Car of the Day # 5 Dodge RAM SRT 10
The world's most pointless vehicle, Dodge RAM SRT 10. It is equipped with 8,3lt engine, which can only produce 517 HP and coupled with six speed manual. I took this picture in 2006 in Ankara, Turkey. This car is totally pointless, lack of quality, eating the every petrol station, very hard clutch, ugly gear lever and more!
Mercedes McLaren SLR Yo-Yo
I am not a fan of old cars. When there is a new model, I usual don’t like the previous one. There are some exceptions! When Mercedes revealed the ugly looking SLS AMG model, I felt the same. It is a retro interpretation of iconic model 300SL from 1954. But it was not the first time, unfortunately it was the second time! They did the same thing with SLR. It was also a retro interpretation of 300SL, but sales did not go that well.
Mercedes thought that, it is like a car similar to estate E Class and planned to keep producing it for seven years, which is very unusual for super car market. And it was not good enough to compete with Ferrari Enzo. They were introduced at the same time. Also Ferrari Enzo was not planned to be sold for seven years and 500 cars per year! With a basic maths, Mercedes planned to sell 3500 SLRs in seven years. This strategy is very normal for a dull E Class but it did not work with SLR!
Anyway, Mercedes introduced the SLS AMG which is cheaper than SLR and boring than SLR and worse looking than SLR and made from aluminium instead of carbon fibre. And SLS something turn into mass production “super” car. You can see it everywhere on earth, Mercedes loves to sell cars to everyone and destroy the uniqueness.
Anyway, I have just saw something in Mercedes merchandise store. I really wish to meet with the person, who is designing the products here. The SLR section offers yoyo covered with leather. What were you thinking while designing this product for SLR! SLR has a fluctuating sales figure and let’s represent this with a yo-yo! I could not find any plausible reason to offer a yo-yo with SLR name on it!
Mercedes did not like the SLR, we all know that but please don’t take revenge like this!

Tata Nano
The 2008 is one of most unforgettable year in human history, global economy collapsed, unemployment became out of control, banks were close to be bankrupted! And Indian economy boosted. I studied economics in undergraduate and I do know that, this does not sound normal, in terms of economics! The whole world is collapsing and a country, which has an open economy is boosting. Unfortunately, I don’t know the global economy that well to discuss about the India’s condition in 2008 economic crisis. But I can talk about the Tata Nano.
Tata Nano was on the cover of newspapers in 2008, besides economic crisis news. Tata was trying to introduce the world’s cheapest car, which only costs 100,000 rupees (€ 1600). It sounds really crazy, you cannot even buy a proper laptop for this price and you will have a car with four doors, four wheels and an engine. Actually, Tata made it thanks to state of art engineering and working with the best supplier in automotive industry. They manage produce the world’s cheapest car but with a little bit more price due to raw materials. Honestly, I am not shocked with that. It was very obvious that, cheapest won’t be immune to raw material prices.
The shocking thing was the target group. This vehicle designed to be used by poor people in India, whom cannot afford to buy cars but using motorcycles. Unfortunately, things did not go as they planned. Rich people in India bought the Nano as the backup car, because it was extremely cheap to use. You don’t have to worry about anything, because it was so cheap. On the other hand, poor people still drive their motorcycle. When I first read this on newspaper, I did not believe and ask my Indian friends and they said the same thing, mainly rich people bought the Nano.
The main problem is the relativity. For rich people, Nano was extremely cheap, just slightly more expensive than their Apple MacBook Pro laptop. And it was a descent car to drive for daily. However, for poor people it was still expensive and a huge question mark. Firstly, it was not a motorcycle and more expensive to run than a motorcycle; this may not be true but a car always has this perception. Secondly, it was more expensive than a motorcycle; the gap may not be huge but for people who are living in a limited budget this gap can be a huge gap to overcome. Lastly, having a car means more maintenance cost; their owners cannot fix it in local workshop because it is under warranty and that’s a huge problem for them. Their motorcycle is very cheap to service and they don’t worry about that! But service of a new car is always a worry for people, regardless of their income. And when you consider the target group of Nano, that’s a really big decision and quite big risk.
I am sure that Nano will succeed in global markets, because it is really cheap and looks good. For that price, you can only buy a really bad looking Asus laptop! And Nano is much better than an Asus laptop :) I guess the global sales will make Tato really happy. Regardless of its sales performance, Tata Nano is placed its sales in automotive history. One hundred years later, it is going to be placed in technology museums as a ground-breaking vehicle for its time.

I have recently discovered that, some very genius people copy my whole blog. And these very cleaver people publish my posts like their posts!

Lamborghini: Don't expand your brand!!!
Honestly, I don’t have anything to say for ASUS Lamborghini laptops. A car legend cannot be expressed as a laptop worse than this. Ugly, cheap materials, no aesthetics! The ones I saw with my own eyes were unfortunately like this and this one does not seem to be changing anything at all.
I really wish to see a proper Lamborghini laptop, which is not only fast but also high quality!

Ferrari Opus: A book to be insured!
Ferrari, the glamour of speed and wealth. Since it was first found, it was always expensive and fast. You cannot find a Ferrari without these characters. Ferrari is an expensive car to manufacture, there are lots tests, car is full of state of art technology, testing processing is really long, employees are highly qualified and this lists goes more and more. It is not easy to make cars go fast for very long time and it is quite hard to sell them for reasonable price!
Like the cars, its books are very expensive also. I really don’t know the reason but some of them are really expensive. Opus Media Group recently released a Ferrari with four editions; first one is the cheap one $4100 (4100 copies), second one is The Cavallino Rampante edition $7000 (500 copies) and signed by Ferrari guys, third one is Enzo Edition $37 500 (400 copies) and comes with leather plus carbon fibre, signed by all living F1 drivers and lastly Diamond edition $275 000 and limited one for each country (est. 192 copies), there are 1500 stones of diamonds on Ferrari Horse, weighs 37 kg (more money, more weight), Luca di Montezemelo signed each book (I would prefer son of Enzo Ferrari’s signature), lastly you can have chance to win a 2005 F1 car from Ferrari!
If you are got bored of Ferrari’s model range, have lots of money, and don’t know what to do after doing everything. You can buy the heaviest and most expensive Ferrari book and start developing your literature background. Keep in mind this book, can destroy your desk! 37 kg! Also, try to find a insurance firm for this books, it is more expensive than many cars on street!
