What is a crossover, or for that matter, just what is an MPV or an SUV?
Are these engineering terms or are they classifications termed by the marketing people whose job it is to create markets, define the products that will fit into these markets and then sell them into the niche that they’ve created.
27/02 The Jimny and the off-road race.
Anthropomorphism is the association of human qualities with an inanimate object, giving it a personality and a character. If anyone ever felt inclined to study this subject and to observe it personally they would be well advised to lay their hands on a Suzuki Jimny.
20/02 We interview Pete da Silva, Group CEO of A1GP World Cup of Motor Sport
In the days leading up to the Go-GP.com A1GP of Gauteng, the grapevine reached a point somewhere near spontaneous combustion with rumours and gossip that flared up consistently. Fact is that the cars were still in New Zealand when they should have been at Kyalami, giving conspiracy theorists and prophets of doom ample fuel for their arguments while causing disquiet among even the most ardent fans of the formula.
just wondering ???
Castrol Index BulletinThe inimitable Steve Wicks, friend and colleague of many years, turned 49 on Saturday. He was very excited because he would be 69 in only 20 years time. When asked why, he said that he'd heard it's a good position to be in.
Displaying a resilience that would make Lazarus blush, the A1GP website has reappeared on the web this afternoon. Unless there is a change in content however, it does not really alter the thinking expressed earlier.
www.A1GP.com, the official A1GP web site, died last night. The series which had a lot of merit and potential has lunged from rope to rope over the last view seasons, but it seems that a TKO is now inevitable. After missing Surfers Paradise, despite Chairman Tony Teixeira's fervent assurances to the contrary, it has come to light that the red ink runs some $100 million deep. ( For the record - all the bills that MotorPics presented to A1GP - Team RSA and the Series Organisers over the last four years, were paid promptly and in full ) Energem, the source of Teixeira's millions, was first suspended and then delisted from Toronto Stock Exchange earlier this year. Now listed on the London Stock Exchange, it is receiving unfavourable publicity for using shareholders' money to buy the director's private jet. Is it not the time for Gauteng Motorsport and for Team A1GP South Africa to get out of this mess ?According to the latest report from the World Health Organisation, more people die from obesity than from hunger ?
