SEAT Mii
Jonny is in Spanish car company SEAT’s home town of Barcelona to test their brand new Mii city car. It’s set to cost from just £7,500 when it goes on sale in 2012, but feature expensive big-car options like a gadget that automatically slams on the brakes if it thinks you’re going to crash. Jonny subjects it to Barcelona’s city traffic, and a mock car crash, to see if one of the cheapest cars on sale is actually any good.

Georgia 18-Wheeler Accidents Kill One Person, Several Injured
Last week, on Interstate 20 in McDuffie County, Georgia, a truck driver from South Dakota was killed and several occupants of passenger vehicles, including an SUV, were injured in two separate 18-wheeler accidents.
The first accident on I-20 occurred when an 18-wheeler driver pulled his big rig over into the emergency lane to check a blowout. A passenger car following the 18-wheeler was slightly damaged by pieces of the blown out tire and pulled over behind the big rig. As the truck driver, Vincent Lee Herbert, checked his tires, another 18-wheeler struck him, fatally injuring him. The second tractor trailer also struck the smaller passenger vehicle stopped behind the truck; the driver and passengers suffered minor injuries. The driver of the second 18-wheeler, David Carl Stalnaker, was charged with second degree vehicular homicide and failure to maintain lanes; he was later released.
Following the accident, another big rig crashed into a Ford Explorer just a few hours later on the same highway. The driver of the Ford Explorer, an Augusta resident, was seriously injured. The tractor trailer also slammed into two other vehicles, leaving two people with injuries. The driver of that tractor trailer, Sean Cornelius Johnson, was charged with following too closely.
In both accidents, 18-wheeler drivers' reckless driving contributed to serious accidents and injury, and in one case, death. The first accident could have been avoided if Stalnaker had taken care to drive steadily, stayed within speed limits, and stuck to his own lane. His failure to do so ended with a fellow truck driver dead. The second accident occurred because Johnson was following the SUV too closely. Tailgating is incredibly foolish behavior for an 18-wheeler driver. These large vehicles take a much longer time to come to a complete stop than passenger vehicles do. Drivers must always keep a reasonable amount of distance between the 18-wheeler and the vehicle in front of them; failure to do so could result in an accident in which the occupants of the smaller vehicle almost always suffer.

Windom Feed Sack
Jim can find the most bizarre way to get somewhere, and that's what makes his rides interesting. Today was a jaunt out through the back roads to Windom to have an early lunch buffet at the Feed Sack. The temperature early was a bit chilly, but warmed into very comfortable 60's very quickly. The buffet at the Feed Sack was awesome, with a great variety of country foods, and all very well prepared.
Thanks, Jim, for getting me on some new roads I have not ridden, and getting me very stuffed for lunch.

Ultimate Track Pack Nissan GT-R unleashed
Nissan has unveiled the most potent version yet of the GT-R super-coupe. Called the GT-R Track Pack, it adds £10,000 to the price of the car, but adds a few things that make sure it's virtually unbeatable on a circuit.
The fully road legal car keeps the standard engine of the 2012 model year GT-R, a twin-turbo 3.0-litre unit with 542bhp, but increases performance in other ways.
Firstly it's lighter than the standard car, having had the rear seats removed and a pair of lighter, tighter racing chairs put in the front. The suspension is tweaked by stiffening the springs, although the standard adjustable dampers stay the same. And because braking performance on track is often as important as acceleration, extra cooling ducts are built into the front and rear bumpers – which Nissan says help reduce operating brake temperatures by as much as 100 degrees.
The 0-60mph time is quoted at an astonishing 2.7 seconds.
Badges on the interior and exterior separate the GT-R track pack from normal versions.
The car is on sale now, costing £84,550. That's a big increase compared to the price of a regular GT-R when the car was first launched, although it's still far, far cheaper than all the supercars it matches (and often betters) for outright performance.

Vegas From A Different Perspective
That is one of the main reasons why we love our business. We love introducing visitors to the other side of our phenomenal home, Las Vegas. We know that once you discover how great it is to have a fabulous home near equally fabulous entertainment options of every kind, you too will make the discovery. You truly can have it all in Las Vegas!
What do we mean by that? We mean that with a Las Vegas vacation rental home you have privacy and security for your family, business, or just you and your friends, as well as the excitement of the Las Vegas Strip just minutes away. Once you discover that you can lounge in the pool and BBQ until your ready to go see Barry Manilow, who's show is a mere 10 minute drive awat, direct to the FREE valet parking, you will love it!
Even after the show, you'll discover that unlike your home in L.A. or San Francisco, you can be back at the house in no time at all. No traffic jams and no crowded avenues to worry about. In fact, you'll probably notice that you still have enough time to express yourself with the slot machines for awhile and still make it home in time to hop in the pool again before settling down to watch a movie.
Now, doesn't that sound better than a hotel room? Doesn't that make much more sense? To spend the same amount of money for an incredible home that you would just to sit on the edge of the bed to watch TV in your hotel room?
Okay, we'll give the Strip Hotels their due. If' you can't stand not having the casino right down stairs, you wont like staying in a Las Vegas vacation rental. They don't have Slots in them. Oh, and the lights out from don't blink all the time like they do on the Strip. But, we're not judging. To each their own!
If you've never stayed in the vacation rental in Las Vegas, you simply don't know that you''re missing. And you're missing a lot! Consider the differences on just these topics alone...
- Eating - You're food versus their restaurants all the time.
- Privacy - Zero privacy versus total privacy.
- Space - 800sq ft versus 3000 sqft or more!
- Pool - Shared with hundreds of people versus just you and your family or friends.
- Gaming - Very costly and smoke filled versus your own free game room and pool table.
- Environment - Clean and quiet versus smoky, alcohol smelling and intentionally noisy.
We hope to see you soon!
