Yesterday I received an email from Neil that he found some awesome car driving on the Irish highways, so I clicked on the link and faced this JZX100 taxi!
WTF: Chaser JZX100 taxi in Ireland!
Only a few drivers on the highway will actually take notice of such a car and that, of course, separates them from the ignorant… :P

If you thought a 1973 pigsbutt Nissan Laurel SGX was one of the coolest cars of the 70s, behold the even cooler Nissan Laurel C130-EV:

This Electric Vehicle is powered by a 16Kw (21hp) electric motor propelling all those 1645 kilograms to an amazing top speed of 85 kilometer per hour! The lead-acid batteries make its radius an amazing 65 kilometer and I don’t want to know how long it would take before it is fully charged.
Still a cool idea though. If I had the money for it I would definitely get a second Carina and make my own Carina EV out of it. And of course retaining its RWD…

Not many people actually know what I’m doing for a living, so here it is: I’m a database specialist within Spil Games, specialized in high availability systems and MySQL. The latter is of course my main concern during the day.
If maintaining two blogs and a forum isn’t enough already I decided to dedicate another blog on my job and describe, in a high level overview, the challenges I encounter every day.
In case you are a techie and interested in this subject, you can find the blog here:

Remember non descriptive Hyundai Pony? TE71Corolla bought it and stored it somewhere for later use.
In the meanwhile he found another Pony (his third mk1 Pony!) and this time he did some wild stuff with it: he mated a 2.5 liter Starex/H200 turbo Diesel to it and just have a look at what it can do now:
I’ve even seen a video of it outrunning a beemer! Amazing! :D
