Brown is the new Black


The last couple of years saw a rise in cars being released in white. It’s a cool colour but it’s starting to get boring. So it’s good news to see that 2010 seems to be bringing new hues into the market; the most popular seems to be shades of Brown. As always fashion trends always go full circle, so seeing brown cars reminds me of my dad’s car back when I was just 8 years old, he use to drive a chocolate brown Ford Escort. As I got older I remember joy riding around in a brown Mini Metro, luckily I never got caught. The first brown car I saw was the Audi R8 Spyder, which looked amazing. As more cars got released with the new 10 registration plate it seems it’s the new trend and Brown has become the new black.

My favourite new car in brown is the Porsche 997 Turbo Cabriolet, followed closely by the Audi R8 Spyder. I’ve even seen an Audi A3 in a really dark brown colour which I loved. The most affordable brown car I would go for would be the Citroen DS3; I should probably go check it out at the Citroen Sunderland dealer.

I look forward to seeing what other cars come in the colour brown and the combination of browns car manufacturers come out with. Below are come that I found online.

Christmas gift for men - More Remote Control Planes

I’ll start by making it clear that this is not my way of reminding people what I want for Christmas, but if it does have that effect, then good!

I really like the Christmas theme but I’m not too sure why Santa Claus has a bomb in his hand and I really hope it’s not his modern day version of giving the bad kid a lump of coal. Also Santa no.2 on the right hand side is waving 2 smoke grenades in the air, while sitting on the edge of his bonnet. That’s real big pimpin santa! Oh, and I’m loving the bling bling on the run way. Hope you all check out the site and enjoy the new theme as much as I did.

Yummy Cayman R

The all new Porsche Cayman R has been revealed at the LA Motor Show. As usual there’s not much of a difference when it comes to the design as a whole, but then it wouldn’t be a Porsche. My favourite part of the new Porsche Cayman is its signature pearl lime green paint work; it’s a lime green that isn’t luminous, like something you may see on a Lamborghini. The Porsche lime green is elegant and subtle yet eye catching. I’m not a fan of cars with massive stickers on them, especially when they have the car name written in bold, but I think I can let Porsche off and I also think it makes it look sporty, especially as the black stickers compliment the black mirrors. Going from a Cayman S to an R the Porsche Cayman has reduced its weight and the power has been increased to a meaty 330hp, which is an increase of only 10hp. Top speed is 175mph and it can reach 0-62 mph in just 4.7 seconds. If you were looking to buy a new Porsche Cayman R, you would be expected to pay just
