Successor to the LR Defender

LR (TATA actually) are showcasing a potential successor to the the macho mil inspired all-purpose Defender.

Should appeal to those who want to minimise “blue on blue” friendly fire incidents.

C’mon On Aussie C’mon

 

Just now after suffering a huge and uncharacteristic lull in sport, Australian athletes are enjoying a bit of a return to international pre-eminence.

In tennis Sam Stosur won the  US Open in fine style beating the legendary Serena Williams and so becoming only the second Australian after Margaret Court to win the title.

In Cycling Cadel Evans surprised the the world by winning the Tour de France; the only Australian ever to do so.

In motor cycling Casey Stoner is dominating the Moto GP title race and looks like becoming champion.

In Rugby Union the Wallabies stung the All Blacks by taking the Tri Nations Crown for the first time in 10 years and are hot faves to take the World Cup as well.

And Australia’s cricketers are showing a resurgence in Sri Lanka.

Now for the Olympics and the next Ashes series!

Hail the New Champ

There is a new champ on the block with full bragging rights having set the fastest production car time round the Nordschliefe circuit at the Nurburgring.  A Lexus LFA has bettered the record, previously held by a Porsche 911 GT2 RS, by 4 seconds; a whopping margin at the Nordschliefe.  So that’s another one in the eye for Herr Uberwurst.  BTW Toyota also set the fastest time in an EV earlier this week, nearly as fast as the Lexus!
