Aston Martin "Project 30,000" car will drive from Tokyo to London
Last year, Aston Martin employees shuttled in and out of Germany as they worked to put 30,000 miles on a Vantage in 30 days. Now comes word that Aston is placing the "Project 30,000" car in the hands of school teacher Richard Meredith and travel specialist Phil Colley, who will drive it from Tokyo to London using the Asian Highway.
The six-week journey is being run in collaboration with the UN and is intended to promote road safety in Asia while raising money for charity at the same time. The car now has over 100,000 miles on its odo and is liveried with a map of the Asian Highway route on its roof and sports the make Roads Safe logo and URL on its bodywork. The only modifications made for it in preparation for the trip are a slightly raised suspension, reinforced sump guard and full spare.
If you think that driving to any point on the European or Asian mainland from Tokyo sounds like pretty a neat trick, you're not alone. We looked at the Wikipedia entry on the highway, however, and it confirmed that the AH1 portion uses a ferry line running between Fukuoka, Japan and Pusan, South Korea. While driving through 15 countries sounds like it could be rough, doing it in an Aston seems much more palatable.
More details in the press release after the jump.

Nostalgia Mobil Timor Buatan Indonesia

Mobil ini dimaksudkan sebagai mobil nasional Indonesia, seperti Proton di negara Malaysia. Karenanya, mobil merk Timor dibebaskan dari pajak-pajak dan bea lainnya yang biasa dikenakan pada mobil-mobil lain yang dijual di Indonesia.
Ketika Toyota Bukan Lagi Buatan Jepang
Hidup Indonesia, PT KANZEN Mau Buat Mobil Dalam Negeri
Semoga jaringan pemasaran dan servisnya kali ini lebih baik, kemudian semoga bank2 pemerintah bersedia membantu pendanaan, pejabat pemerintah menggunakan mobil tsb untuk ke tempat kerja, dsb.
Bayangkan jika di Indonesia pasaran kendaraan bermotor 1 juta, maka jika harga mobil umumnya Rp 100 juta, dengan memakai mobil GEA seharga Rp 50 juta bisa dihemat uang Rp 50 trilyun/tahun. Belum lagi biaya bensin yg 2 kali lebih irit.

Gmana kalau Kanzen buat mobil nasional
Berbagai inovasi yang dibuat kanzen, juga telah membuat harum nama produk Indonesia, dimana anak-anak bangsa, Gmana kalau kanzen produksi mobil juga???? Asyik makin banyak mobil nasional yang bakal dinikmati rakyat yang cinta produk dalam negeri.
Hal pertama mungkin yang harus dilakukan, adalah dengan cara mengetes pasar. Kanzen harus mengeluarkan mock-up atau prototipe dulu. Dengan desain yang futuristik, dan harga yang meng-indonesia, pasti brand kanzen akan semakin diakui. Apabila survey dan antusiasme rakyat sudah mulai tumbuh, barulah kanzen memproduksi sendiri.
Indonesia: Negeri Para Pengrajin
Bahkan, beberap produk perajin Indonesia berhasil membuat spare-part mobil-mobil internasional. Maka tidak jarang, polisi sering sekali menggerebek pembuatan spare part palsu yang dinilai merugikan pasar.
Padahal, kemampuan mereka membuat spare part palsu tersebut, kalau dikumpulkan akan menjadi sebuah industri otomotof yang independent. Kreasi orang Indonesia, yang membuat onderdil palsu terbut seharusnya disalurkan ke hal positif. Jadi suatu saat Indonesia akan menjadi perajin, mobil, pesawat, sepeda motor serta mesin-mesin yang dikenal di dunia.
Auriga, Motor Kreasi Anak SMK
Motor itu adalah motor Kanzen Auriga SMK. Motor merupakan hasil kerjasama produsen motor nasional PT Inti Kanzen Motor dengan Sekolah Menengah Kejuruan (SMK). Kini setidaknya ada 13 SMK yang digaet Kanzen.
Kanzen Bakal Gaet SMK Lain
"Di luar 33 SMK akan jalan terus," ujar Institutional Sales PT Inti Kanzen Motor Ahmad Nur Ichsan ketika dihubungi detikOto, Kamis (23/4/2009).
Dalam kerja sama dengan Depdiknas akhir Desember lalu, memang targetnya hanya sekitar 33 SMK. Namun bukan berarti jumlah SMK yang digaet bakal berhenti di situ saja.

A similar model of Porsche Cayenne Hybrid was brought out at IAA 2007 to give you an idea about the performance of the model. As a remarkable adaptation, the Porsche Cayenne Hybrid model could function without the engine running with the help of an f electric vacuum pump and a, hydraulic steering pump with a 288 V nickel hydride battery under the boot.
Three versions of the car are Regular, S and Turbo. The engine will be 236 horsepower (176kW) V6, 328 horsepower (245 kW) V6and 383 horsepower (286 kW) V8 respectively. The Cayenne Regular will reach 60 mph (97 km/h) in 8.1 seconds, the S in 6.9 seconds and the Turbo in 6.0 seconds.

Blogger bisa dukung "proyek mobil nasional", marlip, GEA, Arina melalui adsense
Bagaimana caranya??? Apa hubungannya Adsense dengan mobil nasional???. Idenya memang sederhana, bagaimana kalau Marlip, GEA atau ARINA membuat blog atau website khusus tentang segala informasi mobil nasional itu. Lalu wesite terbut dipasangi berbagai layanan adsense.
Lalu apa tugasnya para blogger??? Nah di sela-sela hari kerja biasanyakan blogger pada ngeblog. Maka di situ dianjurkan para blogger untuk mengklik adsense tiga website mobil nasional itu.
Bayangkan, kalau jutaan blogger Indonesia ikut mengklik. Berapa penghasilan web itu dalam satu hati. Katakkanlah proyek itu dianggarkan selama setahun saja. Mungkin ratusan ribu dollar akan terkumpul. Lumayankan untuk biaya riset dan dana awal mendirikan pabrik untuk produksi massal mobil nasional tersebut.
Duh ide yah lucu. Tapi lumayankan???? Tertarik??? Kalau ada yang etrtarik segera hubungi management Marlip, GEA, Arina, dan Sebayu mobil produk Tegal tersebut, biar mereka buat wesite atau program referral.
