Toyota to announce 2010 formula One season

November 3, 2009 in Formula 1, Motor sports

Toyota has confirmed to declare its plans about the 2010 Formula One season this November 8, it has emerged.
It was expected that the Japanese carmaker’s decision about whether to prolong funding its Cologne based team would not be recognized until the much-vaunted Tokyo board meeting a week later.
“(Japanese) auto and auto-part makers are questioning what they can gain now by spending hundreds of millions of yen in taking part in Formula One,” said Tatsuya Mizuno, an auto analyst at Mizuno Credit Advisory.
On the bright side, Toyota’s withdrawal would make room for Sauber, whose official application to race in 2010 will be automatically activated in the event of a vacancy.
But it would be very bad news for Kamui Kobayashi, the Japanese F1 rookie who has impressed Toyota with his two races in Brazil and Abu Dhabi.
The 23-year-old told reporters before leaving the Yas Marina Circuit that he has “no budget” to fall back on GP2 in 2010, after finishing sixteenth in the F1 feeder category this season.
“I would probably go back to Japan to maybe work with my father in his sushi restaurant. It was like that two months ago,” said Kobayashi.

Start decorating your car for Christmas

November 3, 2009 in Men and cars, New Cars

Christmas season is in the air. Decorations are done all around – home, exteriors, lanes, trees, gifts and much more. Then why not your cars get the festive lights too? Here I would mention some unique thoughts for decorating your car.

Thinking about different ways to decorate your car? You can decorate your car without spending much money. Let�s see how;

Twinkling stars: Stars remind everyone about Christmas season. Use your own craft ideas to make small stars. Punch small holes on the star made with craft paper. Try to put up some lighted bulbs. If you already have a small hanging bulb inside your car, tie the small star with a string around the bulb.

Magnetic car decorating letters and magnetic bulbs: Use a magnetic letter kit to wish a “Merry Christmas”. It is not hard to find these magnetic letters during the Christmas season. Decorate the cars with shiny magnetic letters. Also you can consider bulb magnet decorations. Choose colors as green, yellow, white and blue car decorating lights that are reflective. It may look better on the exteriors of your car.

Christmas trees: Look for small Christmas trees decorations for table top that you can discover in the flea markets or dollar tree shops. Buy a red table top tree or an ordinary tinsel tree with ornaments that can be attractive both at day and night. Place them at the back of the car on the deck and secure them with double sided car adhesives. A suction cup can be used to hang small Christmas tree decorations on glass windows.

Christmas lighted garland: A small garland decorates the interior or your car. Use suction hooks to hang the garlands. It can be used to decorate the interior or exterior of your cars. Use small lighted bows to decorate the glass windows if possible. Avoid a red color as red flashing lights may violate the traffic rules in your area.

Bobble Head Santa: A Santa that bobble with the moving car can be the most amusing decoration for your car. If you can find a small one, consider placing it on the back deck of your car. Make sure to use adhesives that are specially recommended for use on cars.

Bumper stickers: Find a flashing bumper sticker with a good message to everyone for this Christmas season. Bumper sticker is an old idea. Turn that idea to convey good messages to people you love. One good message can be �Jesus is the reason for this joyful season.” Try to find bumper stickers with Biblical verses if possible. Decorative nativity scenes can also add more meaning to your decorations.

Decorating car for Christmas is now a passion for some. So decorate your car and spread the message of Christmas!
