What is the Stop-Start Technology?


The stop-start system is one of the fuel economy and emissions reduction components of its “Efficient Dynamics” technology package and it has been featured in the four-cylinder engines developed by BMW.
The initial name was Auto Start/Stop, and the way it works is the system automatically switches off the engine when the car comes to a standstill. As soon as the driver puts in the clutch or depresses the gas pedal, the engine fires up automatically. Obviously, this solution works only on manual transmissions, …for now.

Audi R8 V12 TDI


The R8 V12 TDI uses the 6.0L V-12 diesel from last years Q7 concept with the award winning R8 sports car. The concept engine shares a cylinder count with the race-winning R10, but it's actually a completely new engine with a 60-degree bank angle instead of the 90 degrees used on the race engine.
It outputs 500 hp and it has 738 lb-ft of torque. While the R8 V12 TDI goes to 62mph in 4.2 seconds and it's limited at 186mph, it also manages to get 23 MPG, which is pretty good, considering the facts.

Volkswagen Makes Annual EPA Top Ten List with All-New Clean Diesel Jettas

HERNDON, Va. – The 50-state compliant clean diesel Volkswagen Jetta TDI sedan and SportWagen TDI have claimed two of the top positions in the annual EPA and Energy Departments’ list of the most fuel efficient vehicles. The Jetta TDI’s are the only clean diesel vehicles to make the top ten list, which was released last week.
“Many of the vehicles on this list are hybrids, and we’re proud to have the only clean diesel cars to receive top honors in such an import list, particularly,” said Mark Barnes, chief operating officer, Volkswagen of America, Inc. “At a time when fuel economy is top of mind for consumers we are proud of our Jetta TDI sedan and SportWagen TDI for offering a true no compromise deal for consumers – comfort, economy and performance.”

More photos of the 2009 BMW M3 Sedan




Posted: 23 Oct 2008 12:05 AM CDT


In case you missed the article on BMW Welt delivery of 2009 BMW M3 Sedan facelift, then I strongly encourage you to take a peak. One of our readers has put together an amazing story of his pick-up process at the Welt, along with some of the first 2009 BMW M3 Sedan photos.
Within the same article, Jakaya, another reader has linked to some more photos of the new facelifted M3, this time, the car was spotted on french soil.
There is really nothing much to add to the M3 discussion, other than the fact that this is probably the most successful BMW facelift, so now I will just let you focus on the photos.

Obama compared to a BMW while McCain gets the Ford title

We knew it was a matter of time until politics will make their way into our wonderful bimmer world, but I wasn’t really expecting an online media to go as far as comparing the two candidates to car brands. Senator Barrack Obama is associated with BMW, while its counterpart, Senator McCain, to the ol’ good Ford.

VW Touts Jetta TDI's World-Record 58.52 MPG

For the past few weeks, Volkswagen has been hyping a road trip.

One couple, Helen and John Taylor, set off to cross the country in a new 2009 VW Jetta TDI and traveled across the lower 48 states in 20 days, covering 9,419 miles. Their diesel-powered Jetta returned an average of 58.82 mpg, which set a Guinness World Record (previously 51.58 mpg).

VW was a little miffed when the EPA rated its new TDI 30/41 mpg city/highway. Clearly the diesel engine is capable of more than that on the highway. One user on the EPA’s website rated their average mileage at 49 mpg in mostly highway driving. However, the Taylors have admitted that they employ added mileage-saving techniques, like watching their speed. We don’t know if that should be considered “real-world” testing.

One of the most common request in our survey was for us to focus on some BMW tuning, modding and any other “look improvements”. So, we listened to you and we started looking for some great photos.

Our friends at Bimmerforums, which btw is an amazing forum, had a big topic filled up with BMW Z3 roadster photos. It doesn’t cease to amaze me how committed and passionate the BMW community really is and the following “then and now” pictures will illustrate that.
And since yesterday our article on the matte black BMW X6 made the headlines of several auto blogs, I thought I will start the first round of photos with a matte black BMW Z3.

Original Australian made UGLY ugg boots.


What BRANDS we have for sale Original Australian made UGLY ugg boots - Take a look at our label up close UGLY ugg boots have been manufactured in Australia for over 50 years .. Its the original name of the ugg boot made in Australia...


The term ugg by Australian law is a Generic term not a brand name .. Their are over 20 authentic Australian manufacturers of ugg boots. Each label their boots with different names. Ugly is one of the oldest brands in Australia. Their is Deckers a American company who have exactly copied our Australian classic styles and have them mass produced in china ... they are trying to make out they are the only and original manufacturer but this is not the case. Our family have been making and selling these boots as ugg boots for a long time...


Its our Australian heritage which the American owned china made company Deckers have stolen. Its not fair but we have to cop it sweet... But hopefully you will support our Aussie heritage and buy Original Australian made ugg boots (Ugly brand). Boots that started the world craze.

CHOC




Dear Friends, Family, Co-Workers, and Business Associates:

I am reaching out to you in support of a very special cause. As a member of the Tinkerbell Guild, I have registered to participate in the upcoming 2008 CHOC/Disneyland® Resort Walk in the Park to help raise money for Children's Hospital of Orange County. It's only 33 days until the CHOC Charity Walk and I need help to make my fundraising goal!!! No donation is too small! (Instructions to sponsor me are at the bottom of this email message.)

The Tinkerbell Guild is an organization that works to acquaint the community with CHOC’s (Childrens Hospital of Orange County) mission and raise money for the many needs of the hospital. CHOC is the only private, non-for-profit hospital in Orange County dedicated solely to meeting the healthcare needs of children. I challenge you to join us in showing your support for the 250,000 children CHOC cares for yearly.

This year we are forming the team “Tinkerbells for Taylor.” Our team is named in honor of our special inspiration Taylor Hook, who lives in Ladera Ranch with her mom, dad and brother. In April 2008 when Taylor was 11 months old, she was diagnosed with Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma, a form of non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. Shortly after she was diagnosed by the pediatric oncology team at CHOC in Orange and was told her cancer was in Stage II. Taylor completed a 7 week chemotherapy treatment plan at the brand new CHOC Infusion Center in Orange. On July 14, 2008, her doctors told her that the chemotherapy was a success and she is now in remission. Now Taylor is happy at home with her family thanks to all the doctors who continue to care for her at CHOC!

I would feel truly blessed if you would join Me, the Tinkerbell Guild of CHOC and our team “Tinkerbells for Taylor” in participating in the CHOC Walk on October 19, 2008 at Disneyland. CHOC Walk is Children’s Hospital of Orange County’s premiere fundraising event the whole family can enjoy together with live music, and favorite Disneyland characters.

I also encourage you to forward this invitation to your friends and family members who may be interested in participating in this rewarding event. The Tinkerbell Guild is still looking for corporate sponsors, so if you know anyone who would be interested in donating at the corporate level, please let us know as soon as possible. We would like to recognize donations of $500, $750, $1500 and above by putting your business name on our team shirt. All donations are tax deductible. (Tax ID# 95-6097416) Check donations made out to CHOC may be sent to Carriage Collision, Inc. Attn: Helen Taylor-Ellis, 18042 Gothard Street, Huntington Beach, CA 92648.

Thank you for your support. Hope to see you there!

$250 COOKIE RECIPE


Enjoy your fresh baked cookies, compliments of Neiman-Marcus.

A little background: Neiman-Marcus, if you don't know already, is a very expensive store; I.e., they sell your typical $8.00 T-shirt for$50.00. Let's let them have it! THIS IS A TRUE STORY! My daughter and I had just finished a salad at a Neiman-Marcus Cafe In Dallas, and we decided to have a small dessert . Because both of us are such cookie lovers, we decided to try the 'Neiman-Marcus cookie.' It was So excellent that I asked if they would give me the recipe, and the waitress said with a small frown, 'I'm afraid not, but you can buy The Recipe.' Well, I asked how much, and she responded, ' Only two fifty - it's a Great deal !' I agreed to that, and told her to just add it to my Tab. Thirty days later, I received my VISA statement, and the Neiman-Marcus Charge was $285.00! I looked again, and I remembered I had only spent $9.95 for two salads and about = 2 0 $20 .00 for a scarf. As I glanced at the bottom of the statement, it said,' Cookie Recipe-$250.00.' That was Outrageous! I called Neiman's Accounting Department and told them the waitress said it was 'two fifty', which clearly does not mean 'two hundred and fifty dollars' by any reasonable interpretation of the phrase. Neiman-Marcus refused to budge. They would not refund my money because, according to them, 'What the waitress told you is not our problem. You have already seen the Recipe. We absolutely will not refund your money at this point .' I explained to the Accounting Department lady the criminal statutes which govern fraud in the State of Texas I threatened to report them to the Better Business Bureau and the Texas Attorney General's office for engaging in fraud. I was basically told, 'Do what you want. Don't bother thinking of how you can get even, and don't bother trying to get any of your money Back. 'I just said, Okay, you folks got my $250, and now I'm going to have $250 worth of fun. I told her that I was going to see to it that every Cookie Lover in the United States with an e-mail account has a $250 cookie recipe From Neiman-Marcus...for free. She replied, 'I wish you wouldn't do this.' I said, 'Well, perhaps you should have thought of that before you ripped me off!' and slammed down the phone.
so here it is------Please, please, please pass it on to everyone you can possibly think of. I paid $250 for this, and I don't want Neiman-Marcus to EVER make another penny off of this recipe!NEIMAN-MARCUS COOKIES (Recipe may be halved) 2 cups butter 24 oz. Chocolate chips 4 cups flour 2 cups brown sugar 2 tsp. Soda 1 tsp. Salt 2 cups sugar 1 8 oz. Hershey Bar (grated) 5 cups blended oatmeal 4 eggs 2 tsp. Baking powder 2 tsp. Vanilla 3 cups chopped nuts (your choice)

Measure oatmeal, and blend in a blender to a fine powder. Cream the butter and both sugars. Add eggs and vanilla, mix together with flour, oatmeal, salt, baking powder, and soda . Add chocolate chips, Hershey bar, and nuts. Roll into balls, and place two inches apart on a cookie Sheet. Bake for 10 minutes at 375 degrees. Makes 112 cookies. PLEASE READ THE RECIPE AND SEND IT TO EVERYPERSON YOU KNOW WHO HAS AN E-MAIL ADDRESS! THIS IS REALLY TERRIFIC!! Even if the people on your e-mail list don't eat sweets send it to them and ask them to pass it on. Let's make sure we get these ladies $250.00 worth. Enjoy the cookies, they really are good.
