Let’s get some profits out of the economic crisis

Everyday during past months and even now the newspapers and news talk about crisis, recession, economic problems and new disasters to come.

As you know my grandpa – who put me and my sister in an orphanage when we were born- is one of the richest individuals of Asia. Surely his remorse made him to put some money in a Swiss account to guarantee our education and future. Of course the rules to access that money were and still are very strict. As an example my sister Aurore has been living in a floating house in Aberdeen during three years and she didn’t even know about that money existence.

I managed to take over the money – now it’s not the time to explain how I did it- and I decided to invest it in some “cannot miss” opportunities. I have gone over some problem with my investments and my position is not very good. To explain it plain, I’ve lost almost 50 % of my little fortune.

Could you say that it’s a big catastrophe?

Well, may be a pain in the ass, while I wait to recover from my looses – Think that half a fortune is better than just a salary- I am living with my step parents, paying no rent, no food, no water, no nothing!

And the crisis is not as bad if you have some cash, fuel prices are going down, car vendors – worried about their sales dropping 40 % or more- offer you incredible prices (if you pay with real money or you have good credit)

My Aston needed some fixes and it’s not the kind of car you want to drive these days (May be someone thinks that I am banker and put the car on fire), so I decided to get a new little limo for me and Aurore Marie.

It’s a nice black Mercedes Benz CLS with little luxuries like a DVD player, footrest, working table and full leather interior. Blame me for being so hedonist but at least I have paid my car with my own money.



An Australian Interceptor Car

Yeah, I am in New Zealand but most of the cars here come from Asia or Australia. In my previous travel I discovered that Australian cars have more in common with American ones than to European models. Our Holden Commodore looked like an Opel Omega but the powerplant and the transmission were the type you can expect in USA.

Holden – A GM owned company – developed the new Commodore from scratch with a new platform, new engines and new interiors. That was the car FB was expecting, and that the car he booked with AVIS.

This is not a Commodore, it’s a Falcon XR6 that flied over NZ’s windy roads

The guys from AVIS try harder but unfortunately this is not enough. We got a Ford Falcon Mark II SR6 because they can only guarantee the car class and not the model.

So we got a 2007 bright red Falcon with rear and front spoilers, side skirts, sport tuned suspension and just 4.0 litre, 195 kw, 6 speed sequential transmission. Almost 5 meters of car fitted with 235/45 ZR 17 tyres.

Just the family car we were expected.

The childs, Miffo was unsure about her seating options,
but finally she decided to buckled up on the left side

Yumm, this car is fast and superbly tuned up for the NZ roads.
Even in non sealed roads.

The interior is crappy, we must admit that, the materials are the cheapest one
and the finish is something you won’t find in the cheapest Dacia car.
Note the Tom Tom is our own unit bought in Spain.



A day at the races. The old gentleman driver’s era and the new super idiots

Yes, again, using the opportunity that my angry daughter offers me I will break his “book of style” talking about the F1 Championship.

Last weekend we celebrate a nice event in Barcelona – Martini racing legends- with Emmerson Fitipaldi and we lack old legends like J. Stewart.

On the newspapers Mr. Stewart said that the “wanna be championship” was vulnerable. But after watching the race I must say that his boss, his manager and himself are phucking idiots.

This year on the F1 they have really made a lot of effort to make it more boring – do you remember the five points they just took to Fernando at -Hungary ?, do you remember the bullshit the English press wrote about him?

Any idiot who writes on a newspaper can write a headline like “At least Fernando did not win!?

Garrafone is angry, Santander hates Dennis, an even Mercedes – great phuckers- are angry. I am happy.

Go with papa Hamilton and try to remember how you got mad while Fernando passed you.

Looser!



How to be a good motorist by our own Steve McQueen: Paco Costas

Father Bunny’s new job as a gas smuggler in Irak

Sometimes you can not imagine how difficult is to have a step father from a totally different culture. Let’s say in my new country there is somehow a “missing link” between the previous generation and my father’s.

My friend Evasèe posted an article in big Corrosco’s blog about one of my Father’s most bizarre favourite TV shows.

So, he has been watching all the chapters several times during the last two days. No problem at all, but he pretended me to watch them with him.

I must admit that me and FB love cars, motorbikes and even lawn machines. He was scared of robbers and bandits (or at least this is what he told me) and I missed Guatemala where his Kia Rio flied both on tarmac and off road overtaking even 4wds.

In Australia we really took out the most from our Holden V6 both in on road and off road. A real wheel car is always fun and helps you to place the rear in the right place.

He did some training in a Land Rover’s camp sometime ago so he is above the average Joe in 4wd driving but still several thousand miles away from the impressive master that I saw in those videos.

Tight trousers, a nice camel brown leather jacket, a baseball cap and a defying sight, forget that bunch of twenty year old lamer boys. We’re talking about Paco Costas

This is according to Mr. Evasèe the Spanish Steve McQueen. It’s not only a matter of being fast, safe and with outstanding knowledge.

It’s a matter of attitude. Be a real motorist, Be Pacos Costas.
