Pit Stop

As a kid, you always think of conquering the world in your own ways. You dream big, plan big but sometimes it is difficult when such young lives are threatened to be cut short courtesy diseases like cancer, thalassemia and more. It is in such instances when the world needs humanitarians. To take time to make these children smile, because there is nothing more beautiful than seeing a kid smile.

You might have heard of stories where everyday objects signed by celebrities and famous persons being auctioned off for ridiculous prices. Now, a new addition to this list is a motorcycle helmet signed by 12 GP legends, which set the auction record for the most expensive lid, ever sold.

No, we arent talking about Angelina Jolie or Nicholas Cage. The 1967 Ford Mustang, or Eleanor, as it is fondly called, from 2000s blockbuster movie Gone in 60 seconds is going to be auctioned off at Mecum Auctions collector car auction in Austin, Texas.

Nothing beats the open air drive experience. Why? The movies have umpteen examples to prove that. The hero and heroine driving off into the sunset, in a convertible, surrounded by sweet strains of music, isnt that reason enough to dream of owning one? Happy Endings.

Imagine a stroll alongside a shed located in a French estate and finding a rotting Ferrari and uh, oh! About 100 more cars rusting in peace. Well, it is not an everyday sight where more than Rs 114 crore (11.8 million GBP) worth of precious metal is stashed under one roof hidden from the world. Is it?

I still remember the day when my father bought me the first ever bicycle. It was the Hercules MTB 2000 and I loved it. Spending time with my father, while he teaches me how to ride a bicycle were the best days as a kid.

If I were to ask football fans what the name Neymar means to them, I am sure one of the words would be prodigy. This young Brazilian player has had the football world in a tizzy during the World Cup thanks to his skillful dribbling and nutmegs on the field. It was no surprise then that an energy drink company chose the best from both fields - football and motorsports - to advertise for them. From the world of motorsports they had World Rally champion Sbastien Ogier pair up with him for a high speed rally session in Barcelona. Neymar was the co-pilot.

This car is all wrapped in pink, features chrome wheels, gets 2-speed options reverse and forward, a cup holder and adjustable seats. This is the 2013 Power Wheels Barbie Ford Mustang and the fellows at DBR Performance put it on the dyno to just show how much this drive is worth.

Eric Hoffer once said, When people are free to do as they please, they usually imitate each other. Looks like the Chinese took this quote quite seriously. They are known to rip-off some incredible cars. But you may think how can you just copy someones car design and sell it as yours. You will obviously be taken to a court then may have to pay a hefty fine, right? Well, thats what the law says. In 2008, BMW lost a case against Shuanghuan (Chinese) because the latter copied the famous X5 design and called it SCEO (which is still on sale).
