Man Erects Jeremy Clarkson Scarecrow in Front of His House to Slow Traffic

A Northumberland village man named Christopher Hodgkinson has set up a creepy looking scarecrow of sorts dressed as a police officer with a printed version of Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson as his face and a…hairdryer as a speed gun, right in front of his house to deter drivers from speeding!

BBC reported that the Clarkson-faced scarecrow seems to have succeeded in slowing traffic.
Tom Hadall, a neighbor of Hodgkinson said: "He's been slowing the traffic down. I think it's looking, then looking twice to see what it actually is, and then stopping. He's been doing a good job."
The Clarkson scarecrow was made as part of a competition in the town on the 30mph stretch of road. Other figures include a mermaid, Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge.
You can check out pictures of the Clarkson scarecrow over at BBC's website here.

MINI Norris, Approved by Chuck, Designed by Milos

MINI Norris - With all the far-fetched videos we have posted in our Chuck Norris Approved section, it was just a matter of time before one of you, our readers, sent in a Chuck Norris Approved vehicle.
From the creator of the mirthful Zastava ZUGO with its groundbreaking hand warmers comes the one and only Mini Norris, the only car in the world that passed all crash tests with a single roundhouse kick.
Designed by Milos Paripovic, a graduate of the University of Applied Arts in Vienna, Austria, the MINI Norris not only looks the part, but the part actually looks like it.
Below you will find a short description of the car by its designer followed by a few more pictures and a video.
On a side note, if you happen to notice a huge improvement in your screen's resolution and CPU's speed, no need to alarm yourself as these are common side effects after viewing anything related to Chuck Norris.
Design Credits go to Milos Paripovic whom we thank for the story!

Mininorris is an electric urban vehicle.
Answer to the question: “How would the strongest car in the world look like?” 

Cars have human-like characteristics. They have symmetry, headlights for eyes, grill for the mouth, bumpers for the chin. This gives them facial expression, ranging from sad to angry or aggressive.
What would happen if we exaggerated those facial features, but still keep them stylized and abstract? How would we project most desirable characteristics like “safe” and “strong” onto the exterior design? Whose face do we choose?

Lamborghini Gallardo Driver Hits Curb After Failed Drift Attempt

It may seem that we are targeting Lamborghini Gallardo drivers this week, but this is not the case. After all, we cannot control what you, our readers send in our mailbox… In a somewhat similar scenario to the Gallardo incident in Chicago, a driver of Lamborghini's entry-level supercar, reportedly in Poznań, Poland (according to the YouTube poster ), exits a parking lot with the intent of playing around with the Italian model's rear end.
The play goes wrong, but fortunately, without smashing into another vehicle. So, end of story? Well, not exactly, as the driver, who is frustrated from the failed attempt, stomps on the gas pedal without noticing how close the curb was and provides the front bumper with a scratchy makeover.
See how it happened in the video after the break.

Thanks to Erik for the tip!

Ferrari FXX Meets its Match with the Amazing Fahrradi Farfalla FFX

Brought to you by the creative minds behind the amazing pedal-powered Ferdinand 911 GT3 R from 2010, the new “FAHRRADI Farfalla FFX” is yet another attempt to redefine the bicycle-exotic sports car segment.
The team says that unlike the Ferdinand 911 GT3 R that cloned an existing car, their new pedal-powered model represents the "future top model of an actually existing automobile brand", or in other words, Ferrari.
"The external form of the vehicle is the result of Internet research into various real and fictive design ideas about what this vehicle could look like, but also our own ideas of design and, not least of all, a substantial portion of clairvoyance," the team explains on their website.
They continue, "Another substantial difference to the predecessor model is a built-in butterfly mechanism. An angle gear attached to the rear axle moves the wing doors while driving, resulting in a wing beat similar to that of a butterfly (Farfalla in Italian)."
Well, you get their drift. Now, after all that talk, you might as well head past the break to watch the FAHRRADI Farfalla FFX in some super-fast action scenes.

Believe it or Not, this is an Advertisement for a New Fiat

If you happened to stay tuned for the first 51 seconds of this 1-minute long commercial, what you would watch is a moment in a couple's relationship when the woman tells her man that she is planning to get breast implants. The few seconds that remain show us a picture of the new Fiat Palio supermini before the camera once again returns to the man who fantasizes about plunging into his wife's enlarged breasts.
The ad was created by Leo Burnett Argentina with the scope of introducing the new Palio to the male audience. You can watch it for yourself in the video below the break.

8-Year Old Boy Plays in Mom's New BMW, Ends Up Crashing a House

Parents should always be aware of the fact that boys will be boys, meaning one should avoid leaving an 8-year old kid alone in a car with the keys on the ignition because he just might want to try out the view from the driver's seat, which is what happened today in a neighborhood in Boston.

The unnamed 8-year old boy from Dorchester was left unsupervised in his mom's new BMW 328i sedan, which was parked on a driveway on Mascot Street.
The youngster was waiting for his mother to drive him to school but apparently, he felt the need to hop into the front seat, turn on the engine, place the car in gear and stomp on the gas pedal.
The BMW then left the driveway "at about 30 miles an hour" in reverse passing between two parked cars and through a hedge before crashing into the front porch of a house across the street, according to a report from CBS Boston.
"We looked and measured. It was a tight fit (between the two parked cars). He ripped off his rear-view mirror. That’s how close it was,” Dep. Fire Chief Robert Dunderdale told WBZ NewsRadio 1030.
While the porch and the car were destroyed, luckily the young boy was not seriously hurt.
“He was very upset. I don’t think there was any bodily harm, but EMS went over to talk to him,” said Dunderdale.

So You Want to Get Noticed on the Road, do You? Meet the World's Loudest Bicycle

Most bicycles are equipped with a skinny bell that will barely get you any attention in today's congested and noisy cities.

If you feel the same way, say hello to the Hornster bicycle that features a horn that emits a jaw dropping 178 decibels, which if used in full force, could deafen a motorist, as it is said to be louder than a Concorde!
The Hornster is the creative idea of Yannick Read on behalf of the UK’s Environmental Transport Association (ETA), which wanted to raise awareness about the dangers that cyclists face on city roads.
The bicycle features an Airchime KH3A triple horn sourced from an American locomotive and which has been adapted to run off a scuba diving cylinder.
“The same quietness that makes bicycles such a civilised way of getting around makes them vulnerable to inattentive motorists – the Hornster is a wake-up call for drivers who don’t pay attention to bikes,” said Read.
