Italy Trip - Zagato

So..

Its been a while since I blogged.. cuz I was in Italy to attend the Lamborghini 50th anniversary with few friends who took their Lamborghinis to take part of the event.

So we shipped the car earlier to enjoy more of Italy.

One of my friends planned few trips for us.. CUSTOMIZED trips to the major players in the auto industry..

One of them is Zagato. to read more about the history of zagato, Click Here

So we were introduced to many cars and pre-designes and early concepts.

This one below is the Ferrari 348 modified by Zagato with the famous roof bubbles and the first introduction of a glass clear engine cover.. That was later introduced by Ferrari in the 360 Modena.

Lamborghini Diablo

Aston Martin DB7

Very airy space and welcoming environment. full of ultra rare cars made especially to certain customers..

We got some introduction to every story behind each single car by Mr. Andrea Zagato the CEO and grand father of Mr.Ugo Zagato the founder of this firm in 1919.

We attended a very impressive 3D show of some of the cars already been made by them which is some of the top brands around the globe and some extra picky customers.

We were not allowed to take pictures of that show.. but they also gave us some behind the scene of a project in the making for another major company and I am not allowed to talk about..

Yes.. I am dyeing to tell.. but I promised.
 

This Aston Martin V12 Zagato was in Kuwait..

I wanted to pee there too.. but naaah.. too clean for me..

Wait for the next big thing..

Bahrain Formula1 GP 2013 - By BlackBerry

It was Friday noon..

I got a call from Blackberry..

SH : Wake up, Shower and wait for your ticket..

Stig : ... Wha.. Who.. What!

SH : We are sending you to Bahrain to attend the F1 race this weekend..

Stig : When!

SH : whenever you're ready..

So I jumped, showered.. I meant it.. and waited for the most important call for the weekend!..

Then I decided, since I will miss the FP1, FP2 already.. why the rush ?

So I took one of my friends with me.. and took the night flight to Bahrain..

Got the car, went to our hotel.. and charge everything for the qualifying next morning..

Qualifying in Bahrain is important, since the heat might ruin your tires, so you need to be ahead and keep a good gap to be safe cuz the DRS zone is good for drivers behind you to overtake..

Weather in Bahrain was more than perfect and everything was more than great, Thanks to Blackberry for having the best seats in the main grand stand.. infront of the best teams ever! Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz And McLaren..

Waiting for team orders..

HelloBlackBerry!

So Qualifying was over, so is our day at BIC..

Sunday.. or in my language, Raceday..
We went 90 mins early.. but the traffic was so horrible!! check point every ten meteres. police officers not knowing what to do, different orders from different officers, people not sticking to lanes or any traffic laws..

total chaos..

I know they are doing this for safety reasons due to the political issues in Bahrain, But I could do it better..

One major check point will solve this..

it took us 90 mins to park..Then as you see above, another hour or so queueing for entrance!!
Another 60 mins wasted, and the race started already..

By the time we reached our seats.. it was lap 37/57.. so still good 20 laps to go.
I am happy..

Pit stops are scary..
around 18 people..
changing 4 tires
in 3 seconds..

Watching Formula1 on TV is a blessing cuz you can eat, drink and text..
You May also mute, make calls and go to the toilet..

But attending live F1 races is a different game for car lovers..
You get to see, hear and smell competition!

The Battle for points between friends/rivals Button and Hamilton..

And that what I call special access..
Yes my friends.. SIZE do matter..

That guy above.. with his hands in his pockets.. is so cool..
I hope he's not going to change the tires..

Bernie Says : "Think before you drive''

Media Cage

My best device ever.. And I still have it..

Vettel, You're like the GTR.. I don't like you for now.. but you're good

So After that race,
Vettel is leading the season with 77 points, followed by Kimi with 67 then Hamilton with 50.
One race can change everything at this early stage..

Stay Tuned

Many Thanks again to BlackBerry for this great chance and making it happen

Thanks again.. And hope you like the pictures..

Lamborghini Aventador LP720-4 50 Anniversario Edition leaked

This May..

Lamborghini Automobili is celebrating 50th anniversary in a big event that ai am going to attend hopefully, If i got my visa to Italy.

And I thought they'd release some limited edition car, other than the Veneno. and here it is leaked before Shanghai Motorshow.

I hope No one here comments about the colores being Taxi-like at all, cuz we will all kill you..
Perfect combination..

I can see this car in white too looking nice.

Power delivery is almost the same, around 20bhp more than the original lp700-4 car.

but with a higher top speed due to the use of a revised carbon fiber aero kit said to be 50% more efficient than the one before.

Still no confirmation on more details, but only 100 examples will be produced. but again, we will wait for the full detailed press release.

Chao!
