The rivalry of these 2 automotive parts giant have come to a happy conclusion with ZF acquiring TRW to form the world's #2 automotive parts supplier trailing only behind Bosch. The acquisition would have been unexpected years ago will help to churn out more automotive parts with more competitive prices. For many who are not aware, ZF is the one who designed and produced the 8 speed transmissions for BMW and Landrovers. The 9 speed transmission for the L/R Evoque. The shock absorbers and clutches and transmission makers for Porsche PASM and PDK. Porsche and BMW merely buy their transmission and shock absorbers and suspension parts etc from ZF and rebrand it as their own. I wonder how this is going to affect us as consumers. hmm.. sounds promising.

NS not only makes a Man out of a Boy but also a Live vs Dead Man. And He who lives to tell his tale is a blessed Man albeit his nakedness state. Man miraculously survives 4-storey fall from window Published on Jul 25, 2012 By Tham Yuen-C When army regular Jeremy Choo Jian Rong slipped on his bed and tumbled out of the window while changing the curtains in his room, his body instinctively assumed a position he had used often during military training. Body slightly curved and arms cradling his own head, he managed to land leg-down, four floors down. But the pain on impact knocked him out, and the former commando was found lying at the foot of his Fajar Road block. Besides having landed there in spectacular fashion, Mr Choo, 30, was also completely naked.
