Quad bikes. Famous for being fun, nearly killing Ozzy Osbourne and being ridden in muddy paddocks, often by gypsies. Bit low brow though if you’re an international playboy, like wot I is. But what if a quad bike had a V12 in it with 500 horsepower. Ozzy would have had a heart attack before he had even hit the ground. This is the Lazareth Wazuma Bio V12. See the vid and read more after the jump.
Bentley Continental GTs seem to have been given away free with nearly everything recently, such that I’m considering speculatively buying up as many Happy Meals as possible just in case. Or I could just buy a Pearl Yacht. They’re throwing in a Bentley Continental GT with every purchase of their Pearl 60, at a price of €1 million. Read more after the jump.
Oh man, I love helicopters. I mean I love a lot of things: kittens, rainbows, the internet. But I really love helicopters. I spend a lot of my time in Chelsea Wharf, directly opposite Battersea Heliport (international readers, those two places are in London). Big bastard helicopters hover overhead all day, and one of these days imma gonna buy me one of them. Maybe. But what about a Hermes helicopter? Head to Toyko and you can find out.

I’ve played with plenty of 35mm Leica SLRs in the past, but never a DSLR. I was unaware they were producing any until the news of this beast came along. It packs a 37.5 megapixel, 30×45mm CCD, and will retail at $23,000 for the body only. Ok, so you’d have to want it pretty bad to shell out that much, but boy, it looks like it means business. No widgets, gimmicks or doodads with Leica; straight to the hard stuff. More after the jump.
Hmmm. Not wishing to patronise here, but your furniture ranks up there with gas, people and alcohol as one of the most flammable things in your house. “I’m just going to put the fire chest on darling” could almost certainly result in an advert ending with the line “so, check your fire alarm”. But, hey, as long as it looks classy, right? Some websites have named this as “Mall Fire” but they haven’t quite realised the name is “Malle a Feu” (i.e. “trunk fire” *makes idiot face*). It’s by Atria, who are quite well known for this sort of thing. When I say “thing”, I really mean putting the power of fire in chests, children’s shoes, cat flaps etc. Some of those may not be true.

I bloody love Lamborghinis; they’re such unapologetic cars. Yes, they’re not the most refined machines out there, and they’re profoundly silly, but they are heaps of fun. Of course MPG has never previously been a consideration, but according to company CEO Stephan Winkelmann, the Gallardo will be the first Lambo model with a hybrid petrol-electric engine. The first Lamborghini hybrids are slated to arrive by 2015. Read more after the jump.
I’m quite keen on this. Sure, it’s a little bit gimmicky, but it’s cute. It’s four mini bottles of Moët & Chandon Nectar Imperial, four mini flutes, and a sexy container that doubles as an ice bucket. Veuve Clicquot have done quite a few different spins on the standard champagne purchase, and I must say they often leave a bit to be desired. But this is pretty stonking value – “Buckets of Bubbles” retails for approximately $34.99 but offers the equivalent amount of champagne as a 750 ml bottle of Nectar Imperial, which retails for $49.99.

I dropped the ball late last week and things ground to a bit of a halt, for which apologies. I could make some humorous excuse involving thwarting the murderous actions of a high street kitten euthanasia clinic, but the simple fact was that I was looking for a new house. And I found one, you’ll be pleased to know. Anyway, here’s some useful news for you. Sarah Palin signed an XBox 360, it’s going at auction, and there was an opening bid of $1.1 million on it. What. The auction seems to have disappeared from eBay, but is apparently still on. That’s all the detail you need to know, to be honest. I just chose this bit of news because I’m surer that Sarah Palin is a fucking idiot than I’m sure that Mexican people just eat tacos. That’s not a racial thing, by the way. I happen to love tacos.

Please believe me when I say the last couple of days or so have been really slow, news-wise. First a frigging golden chocolate bar, and now Paris Hilton…’s…dog…’s…house. Before we get onto this $325,000 dog house, it’s worth pointing out that Paris doesn’t have dobermans or whippets or anything like that. As you might imagine they’re of the iPod-nano-Swarovski-Chihuahua breed, with not even enough on them to fill a half-baguette. But lets find out what her dogs are called: Tinkerbell, Marilyn Monroe, Prince Baby Bear, Harajuku, Dolce and Prada. Where do I even start. How the hell do you get the name Harajuku next to Prince Baby Bear. Welcome, little doggy to your new home. I shall call you Omar Sharif. Read more after the jump.
