Finally, a chance to spent the money left over from that Lamborghini

Friday, November 28th, 2008

If you could afford a Lamborghini, you didn’t buy it with pocket change, so no doubt you have some spare money left. You won’t need it all, just a measly £7000.

But hey, it’s worth it! You can get the Amosu Lamborghini key, decorated with 183 diamonds for a total of 2.02 carats. Of course it feels better than a regular supercar key, it’s got diamonds.

Don’t forget so set some money aside for the bodyguard, tough. You’ll have to carry one around if you want to keep this for more than a couple of days.

Houdini tool turns regular people into escape artists

Thursday, November 20th, 2008

No one likes to think of themselves as a potential accident victim, but we all know “this can’t happen to me” doesn’t work.

If you ever get trapped inside a car, you’ll want a Houdini Emergency Rescue Tool.

Houdini tool

It comes in two versions: basic and pro. The basic Houdini features a window breaker, a seatbelt cutter, a safety whistle and a LED flashlight and is aimed at drivers (or passengers), while the Houdini Pro comes without the safety whistle, but is targeted at rescue operation workers.

The basic version retails for $24.95, while the Pro sells for $39.95. How much is your safety worth?

Tyre case for iPhone 3G launched

Tuesday, November 18th, 2008

Cars and gadgets go together very well… so a car-themed phone case makes perfect sense.

The Vroom for iPhone 3G is an unique case with a tire track-patterned back which not only looks cool, but also protects the cell phone from bumps and scratches. Full front protection is included as well, plus the obvious easy access to all buttons and functions.

It’s available for $14.99 on Case-Mate.com and would make a great Christmas present for a car (and technology) lover. Even better if it comes with included iPhone…

Sweet Ducati R/C bike launches, complete with rider

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008

There’s far more R/C cars than motorcycles, so when a new bike is launched there’s reason to celebrate among the fans. Especially when it’s one as cool as the Ducati Desmosedici R/C Bike.

Based on Ducati’s 2007 MotoGP World Championship winning bike, this actually comes with a rider. And it’s not just a puppet – it can move its legs, its head and shift in the seat, and you control its movements. The other features are impressive too: spring suspension, digital proportional steering and speed control, a throttle-rate selector and steering-trim-system.

Since it’s available in two frequencies, that means you can set up races with a friend… and, for beginners, there’s also a skill level switch, just so you don’t get frustrated from the beginning.

It’s available from Firebox for £59.95 (almost $100).
