A very rich museum has made the 1930s Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic the world's most expensive car ever sold. The Mullin Automotive Museum located in Oxnard, California must have some fantastic benefactors as they spent between US$30 and $40 million on a Type 57SC Atlantic at the Gooding Classic Car Auction on May 5th 2010 . The previous record was for a 1960s Ferrari GTO that a British buyer bought from Lee Kun-Hee, the former CEO and Chairman of Samsung Electronics.

 

The Type 57S and the 57SC is among the best known Bugattis. The "S" stood for "surbaiss

Tony Leung is Chan Wing Yan, an undercover cop desperate to leave his assignment. The antagonist is Senior Inspector Lau Kin Ming (Andy Lau), a decorated policeman who is actually a mole for Hon Sam (Eric Tsang), a triad boss. It's a game of cat-and-mouse, with poli

    5 ways the Polestar 2 Core Edition proves less can be more

    With a less-is-more approach, the Polestar 2 Core Edition offers a more value-for-money entry into the Swedish brand.  What first comes to mind when you think of Sweden? IKEA, and probably ABBA.

    Cordless vacuum cleaners: A young adult's best friend?

    Every young adult probably arrives at the same point when they’ve started working for a few years: Household chores start to become more enjoyable. Don’t get me wrong – they don’t have to be one’s favourite activity on earth. But chores start to make sense: An environment that’s put-together is always a welcome haven, whether it’s returning home after a long day out, or simply staying in over the weekend (or when you’re working from home.) As a young adult myself, I've come to appreciate an
