Swiss folding bike.

Despite the obvious advantages of having a bicycle which can be folded for ease of transportation or storage, a compromise in performance compared with conventional bikes is inherent in many existing designs - usually due to smaller wheel sizes, less than ideal seating positions and structural instability. Although we've uncovered some outstanding examples of innovative lightweight collapsible bikes over the years, only a select few have offered a combination of full-size performance and fold-up convenience. Joining this group is the SwissBike, a civilian spin-off of a platform first developed for use in military transport and parachute airdrop by Massachusetts based bicycle manufacturer Montague Corporation. The range is headed-up by the flagship SwissBike XO - a full size mountain bike with 26" wheels that folds down to a 36" x 28" x 12" size in under 30 seconds via a quick-release system that doesn't require tools.

"Our visit on the island of Visby,
has been a fairy tale".

from De Hoop in Blaricum."

California Dreamin.

The California dreaming is over - Ferrari has finally pulled the wraps of its stunning new supercar! These are the first pictures of the exciting California, which is set to be the star of this October's Paris Motor Show. Boasting a new 454bhp V8, a slick shifting 7-speed dual-clutch transmission and folding hardtop, the Italian newcomer has Porsche and Aston Martin firmly in its sights. Styled by Pininfarina, the California is the Italian firm's entry-level Grand Tourer, slotting into the range below the 599 Barchetta.

"Yes Peter, there's a man who just made a long trip
across Australia in this model, without any problem whatsoever."

On bank holiday stocks aren't moving dramatically
since so many players enjoy the sunny atmosphere of
smiles, wafting summer frocks, sandwiches
and laughter on the lawn, a light-hearted mood.
