Week 28 2009, beginning on July 6th.

 


Cruise ships in different scales and periods.
Guy






Known for his Mustang,
but he also drove a Jaguar XKSS.
The vestigial exhaust system does little to quiet the XK six's bark
although with this car being a right-hand-drive model,
the noise exits opposite the driver. The luggage rack is necessary,
as there's no cargo space to speak of.






Simon Vinkenoog

Aston Martin's Cygnet's luxury pledge.

"No compromises" on new Aston city car vows boss Bez: "Top-quality cabins promised". Buyers of Aston Martin's new Cygnet will be able to customise their city car in the same way as the company's most expensive models, it has been revealed. In an exclusive interview with Auto Express, Aston boss Dr Ulrich Bez confirmed there would be "no compromise" for customers opting for its new runabout. He said they could expect an interior finished in the traditional top quality leather, wood and carbon fibre. Under the bonnet, however, the iQ-based Aston will keep Toyota's 1.0-litre unit - which will return 65mpg and CO2 emissions of only 99g/km - as the perfect contrast to the firm's potent 6.0-litre engines.

After drifting around Fall River and New Bedford, Massachusetts, we were admiring the collapsed industrial might of the U.S. Northeast (businesses that collapsed generations ago - nothing to do with recent mortgage shenanigans). In the middle of one factory's enormous blank brick wall, a small doorway enticed us: 'Architectural Salvage. Antiques.' In New Bedford, a 19th Century whaling port that figures largely in the early chapters of Moby Dick, we stepped into a realm of great white whales of bathtubs. One could take a bath every day for years and never have to wash out the tub.
After we had booked a room the manager of the hotel said: "I understand that you have made a tiresome trip, but I advise you to wait with taking a bath till tomorrow, the system is not working earlier than 05:00h in the morning till 06:30h, when it works." Photo: Lewis

My Promised Land

  In the Spring of 2002 Roger Sparks was traveling
with a virgin agenda when he landed
in America on the off chance, so it seemed at first.
But he had a plan, to meet Dr. Robert Ballard,
the discoverer of the Titanic.
