A track-worthy Lexus?

I passed through the heavily promoted car-party, Heelz and Wheelz, on Sunday. This is not the official report, but I was blown away by the unexpected and as such my hand has been forced. This is a secret that will not be kept. My story-telling African heritage, at times, is my most massive enemy, but my culture I willingly embrace, so from my fingers, this brief tale will unfurl! Where there is fire - there is smoke! And even more smoke - [...]

Formula 1: Red Bull - flying without wings in pre-season testing!

I would love to exchange locations with the voice-recorder which is present in the room, each time Red Bull Racing's management team meets to evaluate what has happened thus far, in the soon to begin 2014 F1 season. Champions are never usually excited to reveal any form of weakness and in the cut-throat world of Formula 1 whenever a crack appears, in what was formerly an impregnable armor, the battle-cry from the opportunistic competitors can be heard from miles away!

Do you pay for air?

All air is free right? I mean no one charges us to breathe every day and amid all the smoke that assails us on a regular basis, we enjoy the one thing that is still free. Should air be free? Well not all air is free as certain types do attract a cost. If you want helium filled balloons for example, then you have to pay to inflate them. So it's no surprise that we now have to be paying for other types [...]
