This seems to be the best looking compact crossover from VW stable, although it is technically a fastback version of the T-Cross. VCS bring this in instead of the boring T-Cross!

I just can't link a marine co. with car wash business... ... Sembcorp Marine lodges report with CAD following Brazil scandal SEMBCORP Marine said that it has lodged a report with the Commercial Affairs Department of the Singapore Police Force, after revealing last week that its yard in the south-eastern state of Brazil was raided and the facility's former president was involved in a corruption probe. Present investigations involve Martin Cheah Kok Choon, the former president of SembMarine's Brazil unit Estaleiro Jurong Aracruz (EJA), during the time when he was in the employment of the group. In this light, SembMarine has "lodged a suspicious transaction report . . . with the Commercial Affairs Department of the Singapore Police Force", according to its exchange filing on Monday. SembMarine said that Mr Cheah's employment with the group was terminated in June 2015. Other than Mr Cheah, "the company is not aware that any director or management of the company is a subject of the current investigations being conducted by the Brazilian authorities", it said. SembMarine Brazil unit involved in Operation Car Wash probe over ex-consultant SEMBCORP Marine (SembMarine) on Wednesday said it has cooperated fully with the Brazilian Federal Police after a search warrant was executed on Estaleiro Jurong Aracruz (EJA), its subsidiary in Brazil. The search warrant was in connection with ongoing investigations related to Operation Car Wash in Brazil, the country’s biggest anti-graft crackdown which sent former president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva to jail. The offshore and marine firm understands the search relates to investigations against Guilherme Esteves de Jesus, a former consultant engaged by EJA in Brazil who has been arrested by the Brazilian Federal Police. He is facing ongoing criminal charges which have not been concluded. Present investigations also involve Martin Cheah Kok Choon, EJA’s former president, the company added. SembMarine said it has a strict compliance programme and continuously works to ensure its policies and procedures are in place to prevent any violation of anti-corruption laws applicable to its operations. "The company wishes to reiterate that the group is committed to the highest standards of compliance with anti-corruption laws and does not condone and will not tolerate any improper business conduct," it said. The company added that it will continue to monitor developments in Brazil and other jurisdictions regarding the matter and will make appropriate announcements when there are any material developments.

This was a protest in Brazil. A policeman's cap got accidentally knocked off by the banner of the protestors. It was clearly and accident. However, the Policeman lifts up his weapon and SHOOTS one protestor at close range! Ouch. Police brutality? It was a rubber bullet, but still. At that range, it could be lethal. Check out the video.

Had he been alive, he would have celebrated his 53rd birthday last March. Yet yesterday motorsports enthusiasts and the people of Brazil - or those who remember anyway - rekindled the memories of the best racing driver in the world - Ayrton Senna. 19 years after his death, Ayrton Senna is still remembered for many things including his charity work to his people, but it's his driving attitude and god-like performance on the track that many - including Mika Haikkainen, Lewis Hamilton, Fernando Alonso, David Coultard place him among the best. Including the most successful driver of all time - Michael Schumacher - who won the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix and equaled Senna's 41 victory record in 2000. The three time world championship winner was also responsible in part in the development of the Honda NSX. Ayrton Senna's three championship winning cars were powered by Honda engines and after testing at the Suzuka GP circuit - Senna requested Honda to stiffen the chassis. Senna was given two cars by Honda. The newer one, a black 1993 model, license plate BSS-8888 (the letters meaning Beco - a childhood nickname - Senna Silva and the number 8 is a reference to his first F1 championship in 1988) is still in his family's possession. A team from Hungary's TotalCar Magazine has prepared a special video to honour the late Senna featuring professional touring car driver and WTCC Rookie of the Year 2011, Norbert Michelisz, in a car that the Brazilian helped fine tune - the NSX.

You might have heard or read stories of warehouses or buildings filled with old cars. Basically, this term is known as a barn find, even though it may not be always be at the barn. Usually, the place will be filled with a variety of old cars. Some may be in a complete form whereas some might not be. In Brazil, there is a warehouse that is filled with cars of a certain model and that model is the Volkswagen SP2 - a model that was built exclusively in Brazil. There are a total of twenty-three Volkswagen SP2s in the warehouse. Sixteen units are in a complete form and the remaining seven are disassembled. Most of the cars have some of their parts stripped out. The disassembled cars are stacked up on their ends and this may not be good for their bodies. It is rumoured that the owner of the warehouse and these cars are putting the Volkswagen SP2s for sale. The cars may be stripped of their parts but there are also many SP2 parts lying around and probably there would be enough to make a complete car if anyone is willing to buy one. Other than the Volkswagen SP2s, the owner has other models too. He also has a six door Volkswagen Kombi van, a Karmann Ghia TC and a Fiat 128. It is not known if these cars are for sale. The Volkswagen SP2 was Volkswagen Brazil

Vettel wins third drivers championship, re-writes history books in the process
PetrolHead posted a blog entry in MyAutoBlog
The 2012 F1 season concluding Brazilian Grand Prix was met with rain, crashes, and suspense. While Vettel managed to finish a best of six in a damaged car, the results were good enough for him to clinch the much anticipated third world title. Red Bull had all the reasons to celebrate, after clinching the constructor's championships last weekend at Austin and grabbing the drivers championships through Vettel at Brazil. More than becoming the world's youngest triple world champion - by just three points over Alonso - Vettel also joins an elite club whom have claimed three titles consecutively. It was high octane drama from the first lap, heading down into turn four, it was disaster for Vettel who spun around, incurred damaged and thrown to last place after getting tagged by Bruno Senna's Williams. At this point the championship battle was in Alonso's favour who drove flawlessly till the end. Over the course of the next 71 laps, it was an intense battle with the much expected rain making appearances in varous intensities and leaving the pit crew scrambling for perfect tyre strategies. The under appreciated Nico Hulkenberg of Force India drove well with slick tyres on damp conditions. The German lead the race over Button for several laps before a questionable pass on Hamilton went all wrong exiting Hamilton from his final race with McLaren and earning a drive-through penalty in the process. Jenson Button regained the lead and stayed comfortably. Behind him was the RB8 piloted by Vettel managed to get up to sixth place after overtaking Schumacher on the 64th lap. At that moment the points situation became 281 to 278, just enough for him to win the championship. There was a final drama to be played out when Paul di Resta crashed his Force India heavily in the final sector on the 69th lap, bringing out the safety car two laps to the end of the race. As the safety car pulled in before the 71st lap was over, FIA history books were re-written. At just 25-years old, Vettel became the youngest triple world champion and joins Juan Manuel Fangio and Vettel's racing hero, Michael Schumacher as the only drivers in the long history of Formula One to score a hat trick of championships. Schumacher finished seventh on his 306th and final race as he retires for the second and last time from Formula One. Vettel might be a champion by statistics, but fans claim Alonso deserves more for he took a difficult and inferior Ferrari and pulled it to second in the championships. During post race, the unfazed and cold stare from Alonso could only mean one thing - this is not over. Congratulations Vettel and Red Bull Racing, hang in there Alonso, good luck on your future endeavours with Mercedes Hamilton and a sincere thank you Schumacher, for without you Formula One would not be where it is today. -
Brazil is the largest national economy in Latin America, the world's sixth largest economy and the seventh largest in purchasing power parity (PPP) according to the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. With that in mind, it is with no surprise that major car manufacturers made their presence felt at the 27th Paulo International Motor Show which opened its door from 24 October to 4 November. The show is the largest ever. Just like Brazil, which is the home to some of the world's most famous spices, the 2012 S

SYF77 posted a blog entry in MyAutoBlog
At the recent 2012 Paris Motor Show, Ford showed the world the face-lifted Fiesta hatchback. Now, the blue oval brand revealed its sedan cousin at the 2012 Sao Paulo Motor Show in Brazil. Like the hatchback version, the Fiesta sedan sports an Aston Martin-inspired grille. The revised car has narrower headlights and newly styled taillights. Although no interior images were released but one can expect changes made to the instrument cluster, steering wheel and door panels for the 2013 Fiesta hatchback to feature in the sedan version as well. Detail regarding the sedan -
The end of a classic era; the VW Type 2 Bus ends production
FaezClutchless posted a blog entry in MyAutoBlog
The Volkswagen Type 2 Bus has been around since the 1950s and it is one of the pioneer models for cargo and passenger vans. Today, it is considered a cult classic among vehicle enthusiasts. The model ended its production run in 1979. However, production was still ongoing in several South American countries and it is still being manufactured today in Brazil. Sadly, Volkswagen has announced that the company will stop producing the Type 2 Bus in Brazil at the end of the year. The Type 2 Bus that is still being manufactured in Brazil is based on the second generation Type 2 Bus, which is commonly known as the bay window model (the first generation had a split front windscreen). There, the model is named the Kombi. The reason behind the end of the Type 2 Bus -
[extract] The Volkswagen Type 2 bus is one nostalgic vehicle. The sight of it evokes old memories of riding in one, from Singapore to Malacca, many years ago. It was a slow ride through the scenic Malaysian countryside (the north-south highway did not exist yet during that time). I recently found out that the Type 2 bus is still being manufactured new in Brazil and the Netherlands

If you think the debacle last night and in general, the entire WC 2010 was bad. Here is a scarier thought: Who will be England's XI in 2014 IF they even qualify? I've been following the EPL since late 80s and I have never seen such a lack of young players coming through the ranks. Following the departure of Gerard, Lampard, Terry, J. Cole (not that they are that fantastic), who else comes to mind? Rooney will be 29 in 2014 so I guess he'll still be around. Other than that, you have to look at the wrong end of the EPL to find the next batch of English players. Or maybe the Championship. Try coming up with a team and you'll scare the shlt outta yourself.
