UFO Lands in London
Jul 21, 2008 Cars
The new Vauxhall Insignia (or Opel Vectra outside the US) is launching and Vauxhall is making sure everybody notices it. Vauxhall crashed a UFO in Potters Fields Park on Saturday.
There was a smoke and weird noises coming from the ‘UFO’ and there were even men guarding the crash site and refused to explain what was going on.

Antro Solo gets 150mpg
Jun 24, 2008 Cars
This might look like a spaceship but I’m sure spaceships can’t get 150 miles per gallon!
This is the Antro Solo, a gas-electric hybrid prototype made entirely out of carbon fiber.
The vehicle has solar panels on the roof which store engergy in the car’s batteries and that engery can be used to drive 15-25 km. It is also possible to power the car with pedals that each passenger seat comes equipped with. Lastly it’s possible to switch to the engine and run the car on petrol or ethanol.
Soon you will be able to buy this car for about $20.000
