World's Fastest Limousine is Longest Ferrari: Guinness Book of World Records

My buddy approached me and said he is planning to buy a 23 feet long Ferrari. I made the pun of his plans by saying it must be a long laminated painting. But who knew I will become the butt of my own “witticism”.

Yah! He was talking about the 23 feet long roadster with 3.6 liter V8, 400bhp that is expected to hit the UK market this month at the European Limousine and Chauffeur Show. The formation and the production of this peerless limo is done by limo boss Dan Cowley; who is the blessed owner of the astounding ten-wheeled Terminator (Europe’s longest stretch Hummer).

Ferrari

The huge Ferrari limo is designed from a Ferrari 360 Modena chopped in half and prolonged by 9.5ft with a segment of carbon fiber that is hand-built. It can accommodate eight people and speeds with 0 to 60mph in less than six seconds with a top race of 170mph.

To make you feel at home, the Ferrari also comes packed with a six speaker surround sound system and DVD system fitted inside it.

Breaking the Guinness records of “The fastest Limousine and the Longest Ferrari,” this elite Ferrari is fabricated at an expenditure of £200,000.For more information visit limoshow.co.uk.

The Most Expensive USB Stick
Posted in Gadgets, Luxury on 16 June 2007

USB Stick

This elite USB stick is a blessing not for all geeks. Its cost factor is what debars many, forcing them think twice to feel it. I would love to have this device but won’t prefer to spend this big amount and would wish if someone could gift me this.

This golden USB stick is decorated with gold and diamonds and offers you the opportunity to take either 14 or 18 carat gold stick. Also, you have the full freedom to take stick without diamond. It’s retailed at $ 3,500 (with diamonds) and $2,800 without it.

But one thing is for sure that this USB would act more as an accessory than a device. It will act as a transitory tool, thereby elevating your image in your official circle at least.

The specks don’t say even a word about its capacity but at such a cost one expects to have a 256 MB stick.
