It’s the Apple Map
Keeping everthing all in one place can be a bit of a pain, but when it comes to mapping while driving well that is just a different matter all together. But in order to uitlise all of the iPhones tools, there is a need for somewhere suitable to see and be able to use the device while in the car, window seat is one such product that can do the job ...

Action at the pumps
This is either a great way of looking after customers by providing the latest news stories while you fill up or it is an ingenious way of making spend more money by putting you off from looking at how much fuel you are putting into your car. I can see this causing hold ups and all sorts of problems at the pumps during the busy periods, but this i ... More

The remote controlled cooler
This is a must for the Homer Simpson types who just want to laze around all day long, while they watch the television or just take it easy. The bag is on wheels and has a remote which will enable the person with it, to control where it is and who get the nice cool beer. The bag is collapsible for easy storage and will hold up to six bottles of be ... More

Jet powered school bus
Now there are no excuses for the kids to be late for school any more. This is a jet powered school bus which will burn up the road and reach take off speed, or rather you would have thought so but there is no data available on the performance, or in fact if there is any room left for seats anyway!

What every dog needs
This is great idea for the family dog, throw this in the back of an SUV or station wagon and the family dog will be as happy as anything. This will fit most cars with a back door, but will need to be plugged into the cigarette lighter as this is heated for the pooch to feel nice, warm and relaxed, which is probably unlike the rest of the family w ...

Scary crash helmet
This is the sort of thing that you would expect to see in a horror movie or something where you have the gang that ride along on motorbikes terrorising innocent people. It also looks as if it wouldn’t give much protection, but I suppose that it must have past the required tests etc. The one good thing about it is the ventilation that is gained ... More

Scooting about on a Stand-up Trike
Wow, check out this nifty Stand-Up Trike, tight! Will they send us a sample? (We will give it out as a prize if they do.) Stephan Soder came up with the idea as a way to pull himself along while wearing rollerblades. He built the first one in his garage with a small petrol motor. The commercial version is called the Easyglider X6 which riders c ... More

The desk engine
This one is going to really upset people around the office, it’s just a pity that it is a replica motorcycle engine; I don’t see what is wrong with getting a nice V8 on the desk purring away! It’s a nice gadget for petrol heads, makes a different from all of those furry animals and massage USB powered devices. Motorcycle Engine USB Hub feat ... More

The electric VW Beetle
This seems like a logical choice for an electric car, the rear engined VW Beetle was so far ahead of its time, that it is has taken decades of technological innovations just to catch up with it. Now the balance has been restored and the electric Beetle is ready to go, the problem is that you first need to find yourself a decent looking Beetle; th ... More

The future of driving
This is what we could all be driving to the shops in soon! These little scooter type cars are based around a 50 cc air cooled four stroke engine which will take you up to 30 mph which is fast enough considering that it only has three wheels and measures only 56 inches wide. The eco bit is that if you fill it up with fuel, about one & half gal ... More

DIY HACK - HOWTO hack an industrial sewing machine!
Looks like Lady Ladyada hacked an industrial sewing machine. Definitely check it out. Unlike little portables which turn on the DC motor when the foot-lever is pressed, industrials use a clutch motor. The motor is running the moment you turn it on, and when the foot-lever is pressed, it moves the clutch towards the motor, engaging it. This means ... More
V8 Barstools clear the way
This will make sure that you can get to bar before everyone else, and if the tab gets too much you can make a fast getaway. On show at the SEMA 2007 show, these little power packs must really pack a punch, however I am reliably informed that they are somewhat noisy, but with a massive V8 underneath you what would you expect, I suppose it could ge ...

Yet another Segway story
Segways one day will rule the world; they will become aware and eventually rule us humans until we fight back. But until them we can do as we please the Segway and here are a couple of examples that just go to show how good they can look. These are really customised versions of the two wheeled machine, which I think would surprise many people whe ... More

No more bunches of keys
The Keyport is a great new device that comes with six blank keys which should be able to be cut into any shape that is required, though I fail to see how this will work, because different makes of lock have different styles of key, but there you go! Each key is retractable into the case, which should mean that you will never have to carry around ... More
Blow your car up!
No I am not talking about the things that bad people do, after all this is a Porsche, or is it? As you can see this car is finished in bright red and has a strange sort of finish to it, looking almost similar to a beach ball or something! That was a clue, this is the worlds first blow up Porsche sports car, unfortunately though there is very lit ... More

You can go anywhere in this!
Hitting the open road in an RV has taken on a new meaning with this saying with this vehicle. At 42.5 feet long it would take some serious driving too, yet as you can see from the images this is no ordinary vehicle. Features include a 42″ plasma TV, an In Motion satellite with Direct TV, a trash compactor and a combination washer/dryer. As ... More

The Segway by Ferrari
Now this is the sort of Segway that I would like to have, these are actually used by the guy and girls in the Ferrari factory. Just look at those racing style tyres! There are Ferrari logos in nice and neat places, while the body is a nice red finish that could only come from the Italian super car giant. Of this would be much better if the teams ... More

The Bumper Dumper
There is nothing worse than being caught short while also being stuck out in the middle of nowhere. The only solution was to find a bush and hope that nobody sees you, which was until now. This is the aptly named Bumper Dumper, and it is what it says it is. Mind you next time you see somebody sitting on the back bumper of the 4×4 you know wha ... More
