It was gruelling hot as 200 cars headed north for the 2011 CannonBall Run. Among the Ferrari’s, GT40’s, Aston Martin’s and other exotic cars was Team Tankboy’s, ex-US Army Humvee.
There were some great themed teams, Magnum PI, Priscilla Queen of the Dessert with a giant shoe atop a bus, a Back to the Future DeLorean and even Shrek to name but a few.
Everyone was having fun, nice cars, plenty of hot babes, miles of winding countryside roads and great weather. What more could one ask for? OK, there could have been a wet T-Shirt competition but then I doubt our focus would have stayed on the road.
Out of 200 entrants, a total of fifteen speeding tickets got handed out and one car caught fire and burnt to a crisp. Not bad for a day of fuel induced excitement.
Team Tankboy consisted of Charles “Tankboy” Knight and Nick “Nuke” Scott from the reality series “Tankboy TV”, along with actor/comedian Aaron Beard.
“It was our first time competing in the event, so we weren’t 100% sure what we were up against. We didn’t have a lot of time to prepare, compared to seasoned contestants, but we had a plan, and we stuck to it.” said Tankboy. “And making third place was awesome!”
“If you think we were crazy on the rally, you should see us in our TV show.” said Nuke. “And that cute girl in the Impala, she can facebook me anytime”.

The CannonBall Run is a street legal car rally, competing over one day with heaps of wacky missions, entertainment and just plain craziness along the way.

The new retrofit SmartTOP convertible top control by after-market automotive electronics specialist Mods4cars will be available in spring of 2011. It will allow opening and closing of the top at the touch of a button, even while driving slowly, as well as operation of the top via the original factory remote fob.
Ocean, NJ, January 13, 2011 — Just in time for the start of the convertible top season this spring, the SmartTOP module offered by Mods4cars will be available for the Infiniti G convertible. It adds convenience features such as opening and closing the top from afar via the factory remote fob, without requiring a new remote or reprogramming the existing one. It also adds one-touch top operation from the center console button, even while driving up to 40km/h (~27mph). Not having to stop and hold down the top switch allows for the car to be used top-down more often.
“We are happy to announce that our intelligent SmartTOP module will be available to Infiniti G convertible owners this spring. They will be able to enjoy the extra convenience soon.” Says PR-manager Sven Tornow. This newest product even adds important features omitted by Infiniti like raising all windows after the top is closed. Opening and closing of all four windows simultaneously by double-tapping the top switch or from the factory remote is now also possible.
Like all other products of the SmartTOP line the module can be quickly turned off if necessary and all convenience features are programmable to taste. Examples are extended operation mode which allows starting or stopping the engine while the top is running or short beep (chirp) signals when locking or unlocking the car. Automatic locking of the doors when driving is also possible with the module. Being equipped with a standard USB port, the module can also be configured conveniently via PC software and it’s firmware updated if necessary, both available free of charge online.
It is not just Infiniti owners who benefit from SmartTOP controllers. Mods4cars supplies its SmartTOP comfort controller for almost all convertible and roadster models from a wide variety of manufacturers, including Alfa, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Ford, Infiniti, Mazda, Mercedes, Mini, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Volkswagen and Volvo.
The Infiniti G convertible module will be available in spring of 2011 for 249.00 Euro + tax.

About Mods4cars:
Mods4cars was founded in 2002 with the idea to add a highly demanded feature to the otherwise almost perfect Porsche Boxster: Comfort One-Touch roof operation while driving at slow speeds. The resulting product offered not only that, but also allowed quick and easy installation by just swapping out a relay box, thus leaving no traces and no permanent changes on the vehicle. The first SmartTOP roof controller was born.
The success of their first products in Germany and Europe prompted them in late 2004 to move operations to the USA, to be able to serve the American market as well as all other English speaking countries such as Australia, UK and South Africa from one central location. Their business has grown to a full fledged international corporation with an office in California and a full line of innovative products as well as distributors and installation partners all over the globe.
Being highly specialized in the development and distribution of aftermarket roof- and comfort controllers since 2002 allows them to offer an unsurpassed level of competence and product quality. Their main goal is optimization of each individual product to a maximum in compatibility, usability and intuitive operation. They put greatest effort into development and quality checks of all their products to achieve this goal and meet all expectations of their customers.
The extraordinary success of their products is also based on the great communication with their customers, which usually already starts for each new product during the development and prototyping phase.

Scrap-car-uk.com, part of Vehicle Recycling Southern Ltd launch new marketing drive to enlighten people about their unique and environmentally friendly car scrapping service
7th January 2011, Brentwood, England – Scrap-car-uk.com part of one of the most prominent recycling groups in the UK take steps to inform people about the free and easy way to scrap their cars.
James Bevis from Vehicle Recycling Southern Ltd says, ‘People have been struggling for too long to find a quick and efficient way of scrapping their car but our unique way of working has made this process much easier. We will collect the scrap car free of charge from the owners’ residence and all the owner has to do is fill in and submit a simple form.’
Before schemes facilitated by firms such as scrap-car-uk.com became readily available, car owners often sold their cars for scrap to dealers or even paid a fee to have them taken away.
James Bevis goes onto say, ‘Selling a scrap car to a dealer sometimes has some risk attached to it, in a nutshell the original owner does not know its destiny. The chance that the car could be resold for profit is a real possibility and the original owner may be liable for any accident that may occur from its future use.’
Scrap-car-uk.com guarantee that all vehicles collected will be scrapped and the DVLA will confirm this with official notification in the form of a certificate. Scrap cars are dismantled and disposed of in an environmentally friendly way and any unused road tax can be claimed back by downloading and completing a V14 document from the DVLA website.
James Bevis concludes by saying, ‘Aside from being an eyesore, abandoned cars can also attract unwanted attention from vandals and people intent on antisocial behaviour. Typical examples are fires and smashed glass resulting in unnecessary visits from the emergency services as well as the potential for injury for inquisitive children and animals. The service we offer is quick, effective and environmentally friendly; we would advise anyone with a scrap car to dispose of to contact us in the first instance.’
Scrap-car-uk.com, part of Vehicle Recycling Southern Ltd, work in conjunction with the DVLA and the Environment Agency in working towards a healthier environment by disposing of scrap vehicles responsibly.

In Tyrone Short’s newest book ‘Lord Why is Grandma Driving in the Left Lane?’ he expresses his views on one of America’s leading problems, ‘Grandma’ and the many foolish drivers that congest the left lane of our roads and highways.
Tyrone Short announces ‘Lord Why is Grandma Driving in the Left Lane?’ in conjunction with Lulu (www.Lulu), the world’s fastest-growing provider of print-on demand books.
In his own words, “It is bad enough to have to deal with the volume of traffic during rush hour, but to have to deal with grandma and the many foolish drivers that flock and linger in the passing lane is despicable. It is amazing that our roads have not become one big battlefield.”
In his collective thoughts, Tyrone Short takes an introspective and risky stance at what may be considered a controversial topic for a Christian writer. Nevertheless, this thought provoking book is well-timed for what is going on in the nation today and it has the capability to transform many to a healthier and more productive outlook in regards to this issue.
Lord Why is Grandma Driving in the Left Lane is available for purchase at www.Lulu.com/PrinceTrog.
