Any of you a Petrolhead? Join my community

Hey guys,

It's me again. My site has been up and running in its beta mode for a few weeks now. Got a few users and around 8 vehicles on the showcase.

I'm inviting all you guys to come and join my site and put your car up. I'll be adding a community functionality and a few shops for sellers like Petco, Advan and JJ Lanka to advertise their items for sale for you to view a online mall without leaving home.. :)

Also you can add your own items which you have at home OF YOUR VEHICLE which you feel you don't need like old stereos, tires, etc so that anyone interested can contact you through the site.

I'm making this a non-profit site as I want all of us to have easy access to info and to be able to overcome the issues when it comes to our cars.

Remember this site is not meant for only SL. Due to its wide applicability I'm marketing it in Aus, UK and Netherlands so if anyone of you doing any unique developements for cars or anything at all you can put it on the site.

Hope to hear from ya'll soon.

Thanks,

Mr. Hachi Roku

My Brand New site for youuuuuuuuu

Hey guys,

If you're wondering why my blog has been quite for a while, I have a very good reason.

I've been making my OWN site for all you petrolheads. I'm almost at the go-live date for my site and I'm starting to market it around the local and international community with all my friends and even foe.

It's called www.PetrolinMyVeins.comand it's a site for all you petrolheads to meet, share thoughts and figure out problems with your vehicle.

It's not necessary that it has to run on petrol. :)

The site will have a few facilities for you guys;

1. Chat room for discuss issues and find a solution quicker than on a forum

2. post your own car online (for free)

3. Publish your own blog posts on related items

4. Sell/Buy performance, spares for/from your vehicle

I hope I'll see some of you active on my site in the near future and I'm hoping that this community will grow and will help all of us in Sri Lanka to learn from our friends from abroad.

Signing out.

What your all-time Favouritest car?

Just a small poll I'm trying to run to figure out what type of cars all of you guys like. This may or may NOT be a car at all. It can be a 4x4 even.

I don't have a single favourite, but can be summaried to the top 3..

They are:

1. AE86 - Trueno

2. Evo III

3. McLaren F1

A Land Cruiser for sale

I was driving to work last week and saw this. It looks gorgeous.

Yes its for sale and it's in Pita Kotte. If you're interested in checking it out just let me know or driving down Thalawathugoda road till you meet the Ananda Shasthrala grounds and you'll see it just around the corner..

The Bugatti Veyron VS the McLaren F1

Guys, this is a 6 minute video you'd NOT want to forget.. Ever..

Streets of Colombo

Watched Transformers today. I really don't know how to explain how much I loved it. I mean could it get any better; robots that transform into vehicles. It's a dream man.. It's heaven....... :)

I'm sure many of you loved the movie as much as I did. I would've watched it even if it ran for 4 hrs more which is more than what I'd have done for Watchmen but strangely, yet not surprising, I liked it.

It's been a while since I posted some of my grotesquely amateurish pics taken of cars I've come across while driving around Colombo and today I have a few for you...

1. I took this pics from a famous underground car park right after Transformers :). It's an Evo VI..! This car is for sale if I'm not mistaken. You can check out Auto Lanka for confirmation. It's just beautiful. The First model of the Evo's which cannot be achieved through a conversion. This is due to the Evo and stock car body differences.
































2. Oh yeah, a pimp-mobile. Maybe not the most coolest but just wanted to let you know that the latest Patrol is here in SL :)
































3. The A6 is quite a common one in Colombo but the thing that caught my eye was the big square exhausts at the back. Looked wicked. Not sure whether is a dress up or whether it was a tweaked A6..

































4. Well this is a no-brainer.. Mercedes SLK 200. I first came across this in Need For Speed 4.. I loved it and would LOOOVVVEEE to drive it for real!


















I have a few more cars lined up for profiling. If you're interested in putting your car up online just let me know. I have a teeny-weeny site coming up dedicated to all your car lovers, I'll put it up there without any fuss :)

Keep it floored brother..

Behold the Ferrari FXX - Fastest Car around Top Gear track by over 7 seconds!!!!!

If the looks of this doesn't get your testosterone running at boiling temperature then I suggest you go to your doctor. I just felt such a rush when I saw this car on Top Gear last night. It just gave me shivers when I saw this car on the screen.

It's just beautiful. The Ferrari FXX Evolution has nothing sexy about it. Just full black (which is the only one of its kind AFAIK and own by the man himself; Michael Schumacher). It was doing a round on the Top Gear track and you could see the ceramic disks glowing in a hot orange due to the braking and is there anything more cooler than that???? I love it.

It's got 860BHP and over 600Nm's of torque makes this an unbelievably fast car. Shaved of over 7 seconds!!! I mean 7 seconds off the Top gear lap time from the Gumpert. That's phenomenal.

Yet it's tad bit slower than the Veyron on the 0-62mph test clocking around 2.7seconds which is around o.2s slower than the veyron but around the track the Veyron is over 10 seconds slower.

If the looks of this doesn't get your testosterone running at boiling temperature then I suggest you go to your doctor. I just felt such a rush when I saw this car on Top Gear last night. It just gave me shivers when I saw this car on the screen.

There're some rumors going around that this car, though costs 1,000,000 Pounds (GBP) cannot be taken home. It comes with an entire package of racing track time and all that but at the end of the day you have to return it to the Ferrari factory. A bit weird I must say but I guess it works for some..

All in all I think Ferrari once again has the fastest car in the world and it's a beaut!! I love it..
