Spyker has some good ideas for Saab

I think Saab is gonna be a sleek new car on the roads that will turn heads.

The deal for Saab is expected to close this month. Calling it “a rare opportunity to acquire and rebuild a global car brand,” Spyker aims to make Saab profitable by 2012.

This first video is of the warm up laps, and I had focused on the GT cars for a lap as they crossed the famous brick start/finish line

Carbon Nanotube Capacity Expands

Bayer MaterialScience has opened a large carbon nanotube (CNT) pilot facility in Leverkusen, boasting annual capacity of 200 tonnes. The company has invested €22 million in the operation located at Chempark in Leverkusen, Germany, home to Bayer's corporate headquarters. Dr. Joachim Wolff, a member of Bayer MaterialScience's executive committee and head of the coatings, adhesives, and specialties segment, said current forecasts assign a 25% annual growth rate to CNTs, with the market expected to be worth $2 billion within 10 years.

The announcement from Bayer comes the same week that Belgian competitor Nanocyl said it was installing a new reactor for nanotube production that would boost its production capacity to 400 tonnes/year. That new reactor is scheduled to come online in July 2010, doubling the size of Bayer's now operational site. Last summer, CNano, headquartered in California but with manufacturing in China, brought online a 500 ton/yr facility for CNT production.

Royal Purple Membership

If you have a car, you know its important to keep it running well. I found
that using Royal Purple in my Acura makes the car run like it quit smoking
cigarettes and can finally breath how it should.

Its a little more priceythan using a generic oil from a lube express shop, but well worth it. Ifound it safe to change my oil at 6,000 miles instead of 3,000 using the
Purple, which saves me some money on filters too.
Royal Purple is sending members of drivepurple.com free decals just for
being a member. Sign up and try the product, its awesome!

According to the definition, efficiency is the ratio of work input to work output. If something is highly efficient, it keeps work input low, whilst maximizing work output: In other words: Getting more from less. A principle that unreservedly applies to the new 911 Turbo.
