LONGTAILS have been the low cost alternative to thousands of boaters in the Far East for years. They are used by commercial fisherman and hunters and are well known for travel in shallow, and muddy waters.
More recently, American duck hunters have discovered they are ideal for powering LAYOUT & SNEAK BOATS into shallow areas, and they leave a low overall profile.
The Chinese have developed huge commercial tourist attractions as these simple motors have been strapped to the ancient style bamboo river rafts, fitted with seating so folks can enjoy the sights of the many rivers as the wind through the countryside. These rafts have now evolved and plastic sewer pipes are used to make the rafts, making a cheap and reliable mode of transport.

BMW i8 Winter testing (video)
Sat, 11 Feb 2012The BMW i8 is caught on video cold weather testing We have video of the BMW i8 winter testing in deep snow, in what looks to be a a much closer to production i8. The BMW i8 has been floating around for nearly three years as BMW’s nod to an eco future for supercars. Starting with the Vision EfficientDynamics concept we saw back in 2009, BMW went on to reveal their ‘i’ Brand and reveal the BMW i8 last summer. With the i8 not likely to hit showrooms until late 2013 or early 2014, BMW are out doing what car makers do and testing their new cars in extreme weather, this time it’s cold weather testing and footage of the i8 frolicking with the snow ploughs.

Are Bugatti plotting a Final Edition ‘Super’ Veyron?
Sun, 23 Jun 2013Will the power of the Veyron Super Sport (pictured) grow to 1500bhp? The rumours that the Bugatti Veyron would, at some point, get more than its original 100bhp or so have been around seen the Veyron first launched. Eventually, Bugatti delivered and we got the Veyron Super Sport – with 1200bhp – back in 2010 which was, inevitably, followed by the convertible version in the guise of the Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse sporting 1200bhp and a hole to let the sky in.
