Audi TT RS - Forza 3 Owner's View

The Audi TT RS strolls around Suzuka


You know PGA Cars never sold the TT RS
in the Philippines but, what's that plate doing?

FINAL IMPRESSION: The Audi TT RS Coupe. A 4WD high-performance coupe that produces 340PS/5400rpm in power output, 450Nm/1600rpm of torque output, top speed limited to 250kmh, and 0-100kmh in 4.6 seconds. It is mated with a 6-speed automatic transmission for the fun-to-drive feeling. Here in Forza 3, the Audi TT RS is focused solely on its style, performance, and packaging. Most players find this car very amusing than the standard second-generation Audi TT because of its agility and the willpower to take against all odds.

Aside from that, players find this car their "everyday car" because they can decorate anything with decals and vinyls handmade by players to bring out some taste of glamour to the Audi TT RS. I often get a chance to take advantage to Post-it something on the TT RS' rear view because of...plates handmade by me. For instance, the "PGA Cars" plate I made really confuse others thinking that the Audi TT RS was sold in the Philippines via PGA Cars (which is the official Audi distributor of the Philippines) but honestly, PGA Cars never sold the Audi TT RS Coupe to the Philippines but only a handful of gray market imports would know about that.

I really like the way the Audi TT RS behaves...

Love KOREPINO? Here's more!

Ryan Bang's here again for some KOREPINO words we all love to hear it from him! First off, the Korean word of "deep" is "Gip Eun" but it sounds like Gapan, Nueva Ecija! Then, the Korean word for "Yellow" is "Norang" but is sounds like Nora Aunor! WALANG HIMALA!

The doctor

For the headline, the doctor of the former president asked a plan for another operation of the former president's neck. One suggestion is...change to a much longer neck!

2011 Audi Urban Spyder Concept

Nope, I'm not referring to some show on ABS-CBN. I'm referring to the two Audi Urban Concepts revealed ahead from their world premiere at Frankfurt.

Both the Audi Urban Concept and the Audi Urban Spyder Concept are a 1+1 sports car study that shows the principles of lightweight construction, efficiency, and reduction. These concept cars are powered with two e-tron electric motors and a Li-ion battery which is great for city driving.

This is the future of eco driving according to Audi...

My experience of getting locked outside

Hi there, it's me, Leopaul!

I'll share you my story that is something embarrassing in my life...

When my two sisters left to Wenatchee and my other is still asleep upstairs, my mommy asked my to locked the doors but that is to the front. Meanwhile, I used the back door to get outside and when I'm outside, I went for a leisure walk. After my leisure walk, I went back to the back door when suddenly, I got locked, all doors! I tried yelling to my sister, Cecille, who is sleeping upstairs, but nothing worked. While I'm stranded outside, I have to say hi to our neighbor, Mrs. Ramos, before I have to come up with a plan. Good thing, I'm still in a Wi-Fi hotspot (because our house is a Wi-Fi hotspot thanks to Qwest, which is now CenturyLink) and while I'm stranded next door, I'm watching some NHK in my iPod Touch.

After watching some NHK on my iPod Touch, I have come up with a plan to get inside because some of the windows are opened. First, I have to realize that the window that leads to my bedroom is open but its too high. I tried getting the ladder but the ladder is chained from the balcony. Nothing worked until...

...I realize something that the window that heads to the living room is open but there's a screen attached. Good thing, some parts of the screen are ripped and I managed to get rid of the screen before getting through the window but it's moderately high so I have to get a chair outside. Later, I'm using the chair as a stand so I can reach through the window. After moments of grip, I managed to get inside my house. That was too close....

Audi A6 Avant Fourth Generation

2012 Audi A6 Avant

Following the footsteps of the fourth-generation Audi A6 C7 sedan, the Audi A6 Avant C7 provides the same level of the new A6 sedan with the added luggage space that what you should expect for a premium sport tourer in Europe. The 4th generation Audi A6 Avant targets the likelihood of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Estate S212 and the BMW 5-Series Touring F11 as the main rivals but the road ahead is not going to be easy for the new Audi A6 Avant C7.

In the exterior design, the new A6 Avant carries the look from its sedan counterpart but as a wagon, the styling of a German station wagon looks a little bit redundant. It needs a bit more stylish and reasonably mannered like the Honda Accord Tourer (Acura TSX Sport Wagon) but the side view seems to be grateful in the eyes of the businessmen. The biggest mistake of all is the rear view of the new A6 Avant because borrowing the rear lamps from the sedan version looks more overactive and overrated if you know what I mean.

As a sports tourer, the new Audi A6 Avant has a progressed luggage compartment with the capacity of 565 liters (19.95 cu ft). The rear seats can be folded down to make room with lots of items you have in mind, like for instance, a shipment of firearms, a giant statue to fit inside your mansion, several groceries, and other stuff you can fit in. It may be a family wagon, but the Audi A6 Avant focuses more on its premium status. What completes this is the Multimedia Interface (MMI) navigation plus with MMI touch that cooperates with a variety of driving aids and a Bang & Olufsen Advanced Sound System that brings high-definition audio from 15 speakers, which is great to listen to your favorite songs in high quality.

What's the next BIG THING for Audi is the internet connectivity. The available Wi-Fi Hotspot takes full advantage of mobile devices that connects to the internet like the iPhone, great if you want your iPhone go foursquare-ing while riding inside the new A6 Avant. Also, you can Google search points of interest - particularly conveniently via voice control. Those big advantages really made it progressed and the Audi A6 Avant has been progressed to make lots of friends and enemies in the luxury car industry.

Available engines for the Audi A6 Avant were the same as the sedan version such as 2.0 TFSI, 2.8 FSI, 3.0 TFSI, 2.0 TDI DPF 3.0 TDI DPF 204 PS and 3.0 TDI DPF 245 PS. A high performance 3.0 TDI DPF engine with 313 PS will be offered later. Depending on the engine choices, the transmissions offered on the new Audi A6 Avant are multitronic (CVT), 6-speed manual, and 7-speed S tronic. The 8-speed tiptronic will be offered later as well. Most versions come with the Audi drive select driving dynamics system that adjusts the key drivetrain, chassis, and driving aides within four modes such as comfort, auto, dynamic, and individual. For a lightweight feeling, a new "aluminum hybrid body" is placed on the new Audi A6 Avant, the first of its kind since the sedan, to make it more rigid, safer, and lighter than other premium wagons and depending on the engine types, the new Audi A6 Avant weighs 1,715 to 1,865 kilograms.

Safety is a top priority for luxury sport tourers and the new Audi A6 Avant has been progressed to be more safer unlike any other. Thanks to the MMI navigation plus, it makes full use of its safety features such as adaptive headlights, adaptive cruise control with stop & go function and something similar to Toyota's NAVI-AI-SHIFT technology. FF models of the new A6 Avant will receive Electronic Stability Program with electronic LSD (Limited-slip Differential) to make handling more convenient.

The color variation on the new Audi A6 Avant includes Brillantschwarz, Ibisweiß, Aviatorblau Metallic, Dakotagrau Metallic, Eissilber Metallic, Havannaschwarz Metallic, Mondscheinblau Metallic, Oolonggrau Metallic, Quarzgrau Metallic, Daytonagrau Perleffekt, Granatrot Perleffekt, and Phantomschwarz Perleffekt.

My comment:
The new Audi A6 Avant is now ready to take on the big leagues of the premium wagon category because of its advanced features and the aluminum hybrid body armed and ready to show who's the best among the rest. The introductory price of the new Audi A6 Avant is 40,850 Euros, making the cheapest premium wagon of its class, toppling against the BMW 5-Series Touring and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Estate. What about on the performance side? As surely known, the new A6 Avant can be the biggest loser on its class because only the V8-powered BMW 5-Series Touring and MB E-Class Estate can achieve that.

It's up to the driver to decide the outcome of the new Audi A6 Avant

If Yui Hirasawa became a car, this would be the Renault Wind Gordini Gibson...

Renault Wind Gordini by Gibson


Most fans already familiar about the Gibson brand because of the Gibson Les Paul guitar. Some otakus are familiar because this is the brand of the guitar Yui Hirasawa used on K-ON (take note, the Gibson Les Paul).

If Yui Hirasawa became a car, this would be the Renault Wind Gordini Gibson...

Unveiled at the Rock En Seine music festival, Renault and Gibson collaborate to create a one-off special based on the Renault Wind Gordini.

Not only the Renault Wind Gordini by Gibson made its premiere, Gibson unveiled five 1961 SG guitars loaded with Gordini livery! One of these will be given away as part of the upcoming guitar solo competition.

Despite being a one-off special used in the Rock En Seine music festival, this Wind can go "un-tan, un-tan, un-tan" like Yui-Hirasawa from K-ON!
