VW GTI meeting Wörthersee 2007; VW presents the sugarlicious Golf GTI W12 and the Golf GTI Pirelli while Audi kicked butts with the “poor-mans” speedster. You can imagine the joy and pride that the VW boyz felt. You can also imagine what happens when cheerful hoons are supplied with endless shiploads of beer and weenies… We’ve only got one question; what the hell is that guy at around 2.10 min from the beginning of the video trying to accomplish with the mini motorcycle?

2008 Suzuki Swift: Minor Upgrades

Oh boy, another Japanese only press release to rely on. Well, according to the translation we made, along with a new (?) 1.2-litre engine available with a CVT gearbox the Swift received a handful of minor upgrades for the 2008 models. Aesthetic changes include the slightly redesigned front & rear bumpers, the new grille, the adoption of turning signals on the side mirrors and new rear light-clusters while interior changes concern the upgraded trim levels. Finally, Suzuki also slightly altered the gear ratios of the Swift Sport. Expect these mods to pass onto the European edition of the Swift later on the year. -Click “Read More…” for more Photos
