Good stuff to share with all of us here. A few years ago, Korean MMO Black Desert Online made a splash in the video game world not because of particularly impressive gameplay footage, but because of its particularly impressive character creator. At the time, it was far and away the coolest looking character creator on the market, able to render gorgeous models with apparently ultra-intense levels of customization. I think a few other creators have rivaled it since its debut (EVE Online’s comes to mind), but it’s still pretty fantastic looking. And now it can be yours, for free. https://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2016/01/19/you-can-now-download-black-desert-onlines-famed-character-creator-for-free/#48441ae07add

then He even managed to fix up the licence plate somemore.... From STOMP: http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/stomp/sg..._motorbike.html Posted on 04 Jun 2012 Car broke down? No problem: This guy turns it into functioning motorbike When Emile Leray drove across the Sahara desert in his Citroen 2CV, it broke down halfway. Not wanting to be left stranded, he turned it into a motorcycle. Wrote STOMPer Fannypack: "This Frenchman is very ingenious! However, as they say, in times of need we really learn how to improvise. "This happened in 1993 and halfway across the Sahara desert his car broke down. "He had left the city of Tan Tan in Morocco and sort of flees the military there. The bumpy terrain and a rock makes his car break down. "The good news was, he had a toolbox and a hacksaw. "So he turned the car into a functioning motorcycle, and used the car body to shield himself from the harsh desert sandstorms and the elements. "The Citroen's swing arm and wheel axle were broken, so he salvaged the parts to make the motorbike. "Luckily he also had food and water to last him 10 days as the project took him 12 days and he only had half a litre of water left. "He also had to drive it in reverse and he had no drills, no blowtorches or welding equipment. "He screwed the parts together and bent pieces of metal 90 degrees, weakened the thinner areas using a hacksaw or a round file and punctured them with the hammer and punch to make the holes. "And by the way, it's called the Desert Camel. Emile made it out alive of course." Check out photos of Emile and his Dessert Camel in pics 1 to 8, while pics 9 onwards show how some Japanese guys turned an old Acura into a Ferrari.

Several months back, I wrote about supercars left abandoned in two Middle Eastern countries. One of them is a Ferrari Enzo that has been impounded in a Dubai police impound lot. That particular Ferrari is still sitting in the same impound lot and it, together with other luxury cars, might have a better and brighter future. The authorities in Dubai have decided to auction off the Ferrari and 23 other luxury cars. Failed entrepreneurship was the reason why these cars were left behind but the best question to ask right now is; who is the person who did this? Apparently, the owner of the Ferrari Enzo is believed to be a British citizen who bought the car and then fled the country 20 months ago when he/she could not afford to pay the loan and traffic fines. Being in debt in the country is a crime and according to an official in Dubai

In the Middle East, where some of the richest people on this planet live, super cars are left abandoned in the desert under the hot scorching sun. Why are these cars left to rot under severe temperatures and harsh weather conditions? Let us unveil the story behind these once magnificent rides. One of the reasons behind this is failed entrepreneurship. The picture above shows a Ferrari Enzo in a police impound lot. This is where cars of failed entrepreneurs end up. Some might think that it just need some wash and wax and a through interior tidy up. But by looking at the amount of sand and dust, including the hot temperature the car has been exposed to every single day, nobody can truly guess the impact of damage it had gone through. Only 400 units of the Enzo were ever produced. Fitted with a 6.0 litre V12 engine and a six-speed F1 styled transmission, with shift paddles. It produces 651 bhp at 7800 rpm and 657 N m of torque at 5500 rpm. If Enzo Ferrari is still alive today, this would probably break his heart. The next example shown above is the Jaguar XJ220. It was found abandoned in a Qatari desert. This car was originally sold in Dubai and was last seen in Beirut about six years ago. It was found with only 560 miles on the clock. Once known as the rarest car on this planet, has now left to rot in a desert. The Jaguar was most probably abandoned due to the same reasons as the Ferrari. It was, at one time, the world's fastest production car. A total of 281 XJ220 were made. Comes with a 3.5 litre twin turbocharged V6 engine and 5 speed manual transmission. It produces 542 bhp at 7000 rpm and 645 N m of torque at 4500 rpm. With these cars being really super rare and even if someone has the money to buy one right now, he or she has to wait for someone to let go of it. And when that time comes, the price would be in the millions. I wonder who the cars

I came to know that in order to have the red bean split open, place a porcelain spoon inside while cooking. What is the reason?
