Current event #5

Some good news in Fiji is that Tropical Cyclone PAT is no longer a threat. Tropical Cyclone PAT formed earlier this week east of Fiji and was monitored by the NWFC. They confirmed yesterday that there was no threat from this cyclone to Fiji. Tropical Cyclone PAT posed no threat for Fiji as it headed towards French Polynesia yesterday. 

I think that it is good that it passed by them. That passing Fiji is good because a different cyclone hit them last year and they have still not recovered. The bad part is that it is still heading toward different islands.

In the case of the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport, huge amounts of Euros were required to turn an already fast car: 253 mph (the “standard” Veyron’s previous speed) into a car that can achieve 268 mph (the world record for the fastest production car). The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport set the record on July 3rd of this year at VW’s proving grounds at Ehra-Lessien in Germany. To begin, any similarities between the Bugatti Veyron and the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport merely disguise the differences.

My opinion is that the Bugatti Veyron and the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport are two cars that are almost the same but one is 15mph faster. to me this is exiting because the world record for the fastest car in the world (excluding stock cars). I think it looks really cool because it is really aerodynamic.

current event #4

 A flying car you might think that its science fiction but next year it will probably be reality.The company Terrafuga, based in Woburn, Massachusetts says they plan to deliver its car-plane, the Transition, to customers by the end of 2011. The Transition will be marketed more as a plane that drives than a car that flies, although it is both. They say it eliminates the hassle trying to find another mode of transportation to get to and from airports. You drive the car to the airport and then when you land, you fold up the wings and hit the road. There are no expensive hangar fees because you don't have to store it at an airport — you park it in the garage at home.

I think that the flying car is amazing and is a good idea. However I would not drive it until they perfect the model. I would drive it after its perfected though. I also think that it needs more of a car look though. I agree with them, it is more of a plane that drives.
