ruh roh QUOTE Salim Mehajer allegedly dumped by wife
The wedding of the century may soon lead to the divorce of the decade, with Aysha and Salim Mehajer having allegedly become estranged and now living apart. A Current Affair understands that Mrs Mehajer has packed her backs and is living with family in the Illawarra region of NSW. The wedding of the century may soon lead to the divorce of the decade. Close friends have said that Mr Mehajer has been constantly text messaging and calling his wife, with his social media accounts also being flooded over the past week with nostalgic posts relating to the couple's August nuptials. For the past few days, the only person seen coming in or out of the couple's Lidcombe mansion is Mr Mehajer's sister. Seven months ago, Australia was first introduced to the ostentatious couple during their fairy tale wedding - which closed off a western Sydney street and infuriated some of Mr Mehajer's fellow City of Auburn councillors. A video made for the wedding about their love story turned out to be a farce, but Mr Mehajer got what he truly wanted out of the nuptials: attention. But it appears as though the attention he craved has now started to cost him. Along with notoriety, Mr Mehajer's actions as a developer and deputy mayor, in addition to court proceedings launched against him, have been widely covered by the Australian media. Social commentator Prue MacSween says that all along, it has been a relationship based on Salim's hunger for fame. "Maybe they were fighting each other for the mirror in the morning, maybe she was showing more style than him - because she certainly had more class than he did," MacSween said.  A Current Affair attempted to contact Salim Mehajer, but have not received a response at the time of publication. |

QUOTE Street Outlaws Kamikaze CHRIS - 2016 ELCO Revealed! 1320video Published on Mar 31, 2016 Kamikaze Chris inherited Flip’s INSANE nitrous El Camino that snuffs nitrous on the regular! However, in 2016, the competition is only getting faster and faster, and Kamikaze Chris decided it was time to put a SERIOUS back half suspension system on the car and ditch the stock obsolete setup. Even though at first glance it looks like a big tire might make it’s way under this car, this setup is primarily implemented to properly run a small tire setup on the Elco! Chris will be faster than ever in the Elco, and he needs the suspension setup to pair with it to make for the ultimate street car combo! We’re excited to see Kamikaze Chris on Street Outlaws Season 8…surely many feelings will be hurt when the Elco lines up with the competition! |

wolfie, do this to the r8. and see how many snobs you can piss off. QUOTE The Audi RS7 is a luxury machine, leaning towards the performance side, but not so much so that it would disturb the occupants while sitting in the cabin designed for comfort. With that in mind, it would look to us like the owner of this Audi didn’t really care the least bit what concepts their car was designed around. With a little bit of time and effort, this refined luxury machine would become a monster in the sense of both performance and visual aspects, hanging two giant turbos off of the top of the car’s engine in the most crude fashion possible. In short, the Audi has been transformed to an obnoxious twin turbo Frankenstein build, and frankly, we aren’t even sure if that’s a bad thing or not. Check out the wonder of tuning in the video below and tell us what your take is on this obscure creation. We can’t decide if we love this thing or hate it, so you be the judge. |

i'm going to miss the good ole days of pollution burning gas guzzlers. At least i'm doing my part in burning a hole in the ozone layer whilst i can in owning a rotary. QUOTE HOLY CRAP: Elon Musk Says Tesla Has Sold Over 180,000 Model 3s In 24 Hours, Making For A $7 Billion Day
Absolutely insane numbers from the launch of the Tesla Model 3, which Elon Musk announced last night. The car already has over 180,000 orders in 24 hours, making for over $7 billion in revenue for Telsa in one day. The crazy thing is that all those peoppe buying wont get their new Model until late 2017. Thats a massive order to fill for the company (and only going to increase), but if anyone can do it, Musk — Tony Stark irl in the flesh — can. As Cass noted earlier, the new Telsa is only $35,000 and you only needed to put down $1,000 for the deposit. It’s a sexy looking car, too, in case you missed our post earlier. |

QUOTE 2500hp Nissan GT-R - T1 Race Development!! 1320video Published on Apr 2, 2016 We debuted this car in our previous video where you saw this Nissan GT-R go 7.43 in the 1/4 mile, but what we didn’t show you is that it went even FASTER before the weekend was up! TX2K16 is the main stage for the fastest of the fast street cars in the world, and that is exactly the reason why this Nissan GT-R showed up to battle the competition! Tony Palo at T1 Race Development has created one of the most powerful GT-R on the face of the planet, pushing somewhere in the neighborhood of 2500hp, this amazing machine is packing two massive turbochargers capable of 70 psi of boost pressure! With front and rear slicks on this car, the grip is insane and the amount of power Tony must be able to manage is impressive! |

for the full story and more pics, click the link. QUOTE New York Motor Show: Honda NSX GT3 revealed
Officially slated as an Acura – Honda’s US luxury brand – the NSX GT3 will have its racecar body built in the same Ohio plant that exclusively produces the production road car. Enlarged bonnet vents, front bar diffuser and a large deck wing spoiler point to the major changes over the regular NSX. The 3.5-litre twin-turbocharged V6 petrol engine uses the same block, heads, valvetrain, crankshaft, pistons and dry sump lubrication system as the production car. However it trades the heavy hybrid and all-wheel drive systems, and nine-speed dual-clutch transmission of the road-going NSX for petrol power only, rear-wheel drive and a six-speed sequential racing gearbox. It might just prompt enthusiasts to shout about a petrol, manual, rear-drive production NSX (and we’re happy to lead the charge there). Honda says “initial development” of the NSX GT3 took place in Japan with the company’s racing arm testing the vehicle on circuits both locally and in Europe. The car will now enter an “additional development” stage including final homologation work to be done by Honda Performance Development (HPD) in California. “The NSX was designed as a pinnacle expression of Acura Precision Crafted Performance, and we're looking forward to proving out its ultimate performance capabilities in GT3 racing,” HPD said in a statement. |

Saw that. Bit of a worry that they've announced a race car. Kind of making people suspect that the Type R isn't in the works after all... |

QUOTE The Ferrari 599 GTB is a machine that’s definitely worthy of respect, but when you put it next to a Koenigsegg Agera R, it’s definitely up against an unforgiving measuring stick. Come to think of it, most cars on the road would look like child’s play compared to the Agera R that boasts over 1000bhp, but these drivers decided to give it a shot, anyway! We tune in to the runway action as the cars throttle down and the Koenigsegg almost immediately has the advantage as it pulls further and further into first place. Check out the video below that shows just how dominant this car can really be. Sorry Ferrari, but you never really stood a chance here. |

http://mashable.com/2016/04/04/admiral-ack...nk#khhfgEukdEqn QUOTE Erik Bauersfeld, voice of 'Star Wars' character Admiral Ackbar, dead at 93
LOS ANGELES — Erik Bauersfeld, the veteran radio actor who voiced Return of the Jedi characters Admiral Ackbar and Bib Fortuna and reprised the Ackbar role for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, has died. He was 93. Bauersfeld's death was confirmed Monday by his manager, Derek Maki, of Coolwaters Productions. The native New Yorker Bauersfeld led the drama and literature department at Berkeley, California-based KPFA for more than 30 years and was approached by longtime Star Wars sound designer Ben Burtt for voice roles. Bauersfeld said he spent very little time on the voice of Ackbar, who had a handful of lines, none more memorable than "It's a trap!" "I saw the face. And I knew what he must sound like. And I did it," he said in a 2012 interview with San Francisco Chronicle pop culture critic Peter Hartlaub (below). He was also the voice of Bib Fortuna — essentially Jabba the Hutt's doorman — in Jedi, though that role was uncredited. J.J. Abrams brought Bauersfeld back to reprise Gial Ackbar, the Mon Calamari naval officer who switched from commanding the Rebel fleet to Resistance fighters in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. |

oh what a feeling QUOTE Toyota TS050 LMP1 racer revealed
Toyota’s turned to turbo power for its stab at the 2016 World Endurance Championship. Revealing full details on its all-new TS050 Hybrid racecar, the firm announced its LMP1 contender will be powered by a new 2.4-litre twin-turbo V6. The new engine, which replaces the TS040’s 3.7-litre V8, is direct injected, split at 90 degrees, and accounts for half of the new car’s 736kW output. Making up the other half of the car’s power is an upgraded hybrid unit which continues the TS040’s twin-axle setup that sees an electric motor power allocated one axle. Energy will be drawn from lithium-ion batteries as opposed to the supercapacitors relied on last year, charged by motor-generators during braking, which sees the TS050 to move up to the 8-megajoule hybrid class. Toyota says the transmission has been updated to handle increased torque but hasn’t revealed how much more twist the car produces. Over 22,000km testing kilometres were put on the TS050 Hybrid design prior to the WEC season, but it's yet to be seen whether Toyota will match its competitors who severely outpaced the Japanese firm at last year’s Le Mans 24 Hours. Toyota TS050 LMP1 racer front© Provided by Bauer Media Pty Ltd Toyota TS050 LMP1 racer front For what it's worth Toyota’s TS050 was 0.825sec slower around Paul Ricard than Porsche’s 919 Hybrid during official pre-season testing last month. However, it was almost six tenths faster than Audi’s R18 e-tron quattro. Toyota will kick-off its assault on the full 2016 WEC season with two TS050 Hybrids at Silverstone on April 17. Anthony Davidson, Sébastien Buemi, and Kazuki Nakajima will drive the #5 car, while Stéphane Sarrazin, Mike Conway, and Kamui Kobayashi will pilot #6. |
