There it is, a brand new spanking Honda jazz sitting at the garage. Just the kind of car for these times, a nice fuel efficient little car with enough zip to go about town. Yes, many women own a Honda Jazz but so what? Even women in Beverly Hills drive Corvettes and even a Porsche Boxster, but these aren’t called chick cars.

The Volkswagen convertible rabbit was a chick car, but that didn’t stop construction foremen and bar room bouncers from owning one. A Jazz is not a chick car, it’s everyone’s car. But that’s where the problem starts. Soon, after getting the Jazz off the drive way, a sea of Honda Jazzes can be seen roaming about town or cruising down the boulevard. Then, not surprisingly, someone’s great aunt probably drives a Jazz, too. Ouch. For every problem, there is a solution. And here are a few tips to make a Jazz different from the other guy or gal’s Jazz. First, make it distinct and make it stand out. A few add on body kits will do the trick, and so will a nice pain job. Secondly, outrun and out handle every other Jazz on the street. Beef it up with aftermarket parts and accessories like HRE rims, K&N Intakes, Kelford camshafts, Larini strut braces, Techart wheels, and  Tein coilovers. A basic tenet in owning a car is if it looks good, it ought to run good so adding these parts ought to do a trick. These parts are often reasonably priced and may take a toll on one’s wallet, but standing out from the pack and outrunning them is a good enough reason to blow a few bucks. Third, make the Jazz loud. A nifty audio system with the right set subwoofers will do just fine. After all these modifications, no one will mistake that Honda jazz in the garage for grandma’s Honda.

Ah, the Maserati Merak. Perhaps one of the prettiest cars ever made, the Maserati Merak is an iconic supercar of the 70’s. Italian flair and passion combined with a French engineering ( yes, it has  a V-6 Citroen engine ), the Merak was one of the most sought after exotic cars in the 70’s and up to this day, avid Maserati collectors will gladly trade their immortal souls to own one.

From the time it started production in 1976 to up to 1982 when the last one rolled out of the production line, only 652 were made. Nowadays, a used one with a rather sketchy past and one which was perhaps poorly maintained will fetch around 30 thousand dollars that is if one can be found. But if there is one in a pristine and well-maintained condition around town which is dying to meet a match at the stoplight, is it possible to outrun it? Yes, it is. With a 2 liter Japanese hatchback, a Masearti Merak is nothing more than minced meat. All that is needed is a few performance parts under the hood, the proper suspension, tires and brake kits, it’s easy. Set the Japanese hatchback up with aftermarket parts like HRE rims, K&N Intakes, Kelford camshafts, Larini strut braces, Techart wheels, and Tein coilovers.  Now, is there tangible proof that a souped up hatchback will demolish a 1970’s supercar on a racetrack? Again, yes there is. A few years back, there was this episode of a massively popular British TV show (ten guesses as to what it is) that pitted a Maserati Merak and two other 70’s Italian supercars against a soccer mom daily driver. Guess who won? Perhaps the question should be how did that happen? Well, modern cars perform a lot better than old carbureted supercars, and age has sapped out the performance of the once-fabled supercars. In short, a new well-prepped and modified car will outrun most if not all of the 70’s supercars.

So every rally car fanatic on the face of the earth wants one so badly they would gladly give their eternal souls just to own one and drive it around town. Yes, a real live World Rally Championship race car for the street. But the problem is; only a handful is built for every race, and most end up in a really bad shape. Those that do get sold end up in the hands of a very rich car nut somewhere in Dubai, where it kept in garage along with a Bugatti or a Ferrari Enzo. And if some mere mortal gets lucky enough to own one, it isn’t going anywhere other than the garage because these rally cars are not street legal. So, there goes the dream of owning a WRC rally car .But wait. There is hope. A copy or a “faithfully reproduced” version to pay homage to that WRC Subaru car exists, and can be driven on the streets, and is perfectly street legal. How? Welcome to the world of car tuning and modifying.

First, let’s start with bare bones Subaru Impreza. Yes, any WRC fanatic knows what a Subaru Impreza is and how many rallies it has won and who drove it in what event. Now, that Subaru Impreza needs the proper look mean rally racing look, so this is where the body kits come in. Any tuner worth his salt will customize the car by placing the proper body kit parts, like those wicked rear wings, airdams and the like. These add on parts are not only meant to make the car look fancy, but will greatly increase the car’s aerodynamics and handling. No, those were not placed on a car to make them look fancy, but are there for a reason; a winning edge over the competition. Now that the car looks like a rally car, it has to GO like a race car. The engine, suspension system and brakes are the  beefed up with aftermarket accessories like brake kits, HRE rims, K&N Intakes, Kelford camshafts, Larini strut braces, Techart wheels, and  Tein coilovers. It would be an utter waste of money to dress up a car and not make it handle like a real race car, so these parts MUST be installed.

All this modifying and tuning a car will cost about as much as the car itself, but bear in mind that a rally car is worth almost half a  million dollars, so it should be a bargain.

When car nuts get their heads together and start talking about cars, it’s all about speed, speed and more speed. Their conversation, if it could actually be called one, will go something like this – “Like, which is faster, a Bugatti or a Pagani Zonda or a Ferrari Enzo? Who will it be this year at the winner’s podium at the Formula 1 race? Ofcourse, the fastest guy on the track……..Hey, what about that WRC thing? Subaru again this year or Renault?” Then these car guys will start talking about performance parts like HRE rims, K&N Intakes, Kelford camshafts, Larini strut braces, Techart wheels, and Tein coilovers. Which will make a nice street car turn into a nice and fast street car? But they hardly talk about mundane things like weight. Topics like these, to an insane car nut who has never actually driven a car above the legal speed limit, is like talking about a trip to grandma’s house or a visit to the orthodontist or getting dumped by that cute waitress at that French restaurant. But in the real world, weight is very important in saving fuel and, here it comes, making a car go FAST.

Everyone knows that something heavier accelerates much slower than something lighter, considering the engine displacement is equal. And since the engine works harder, it uses up more fuel. So what has this got to do with speed? Less weight in a car will make it go faster. Ever seen what a Ferrari F40 looks like inside? No stereo, no carpeting, nothing inside, really barebones. So, matched with a monster twin turbo engine, a feather weight F40 with a light composite body has god-like acceleration and speed. Now, why someone would pay that much money for a car with no stereo or carpeting is beside the point.  Bottom line? If a car nut wants to make his car go fast and save gas, he should make his fat car buddies lose a few pounds and lay off the fries before letting them in for a ride.

Almost every car nut fervently wants to own a supercar like a Porsche Carrera or a Pagani Zonda, but only a blessed few on earth will ever get to drive one, and much fewer still will be destined to actually own one. Just like that Lamborghini Reventon ad says, only 1 in about half a billion people will actually have it registered to his or her name  for an unfair and insane reason that only a measly 20 were ever made. There is a reason why these cars are called dream cars, and that’s just it. For the rest of humanity to just dream about it. But for those upon whom reason, practicality and common sense prevail, a regular automobile modified for optimum performance and can still be driven everyday is a much better option.

Despite all that blabber about a Ferrari 430 being a reliable car which can be driven on a daily basis, would you actually drive it to the corner grocery store to buy a six pack? Maybe, if you lived in Abu Dhabi. But a reliable car made better by adding performance parts on the engine, suspension, wheels and brakes with aftermarket parts like HRE rims, K&N Intakes, Kelford camshafts, Larini strut braces, Techart wheels, and  Tein coilovers is more realistic and affordable. Maybe not everyone could own an Aston Martin, but anyone with a car and car-fanatic genes running through their veins can make his or her own ride go almost as fast as one and look even cooler.

The bottom line? Many of us will never own an exotic automobile. But, with a modest budget and with the right performance parts, anyone can make his or her car almost go as fast and handle as well as most performance cars available on the market.

If there is anything more fun playing around in a muddy field and acting like an 8 year old, then it must definitely be racing in a muddy track. Yes, these are such a thing as mud racing.  And this is not held in a simple, flat racing track splattered with wet earth, but a circuit with varying levels of elevation to match the twist and turns. Meaning, the vehicle of choice will slosh through 3 feet deep of murky muddy water and at some parts go jumping over a mound of earth 5 feet high.

And the vehicle of choice for this kind of race? Something that is a little smaller than a monster truck. Call it a mini monster truck, if you will. Any vehicle with less than 3 feet of ground clearance will definitely and literally get swamped in this event. So even ifs it’s a trusty 4 wheel drives off road vehicle, a few modifications must be done, and this applies even if it’s Hummer.

The engine, suspension system, brakes and everything must be spruced up, and most if not all of the leading manufacturers of aftermarket parts have just the thing for a monster truck. However, a few parts  like HRE rims, K&N Intakes, Kelford camshafts, Larini strut braces, Techart wheels, and  Tein coilovers may be more suitable for tuners with on road vehicles, but a few of these may come in handy for that 4 wheel drive off road vehicle.  Mud racing is not to be confused with a 4 wheel drive off road course where a Range Rover Defender has to work its way through rocks and other obstacles and sometimes even use a winch to complete a certain task. Nope, that isn’t mud racing.

Mud racing is different, and although it is not as popular as other 4 wheel drive off road races, it is rapidly gaining popularity.

Every year, something special takes place in the largest island off the Spanish Coast. In the Island of Mallorca, a classic car rally takes place. Yes, it is the Mallorca Classic Car Rally or Rally Clásico Isla Mallorca. The rally is just like any other rally where drivers and their navigators go from one check point to another in a designated route, but the twist is there is a given average speed limit. Why the speed limit?

Precious classic cars are raced here, not built-for-speed rally cars which will jump over sand dunes in the deserts of Dakar or rampage through the jungle back roads of Indonesia. Breaking these precious automotive antiques warrants a penalty worse than death in automotive circles. And for the final event of the rally, cars are made to set a time on their own cars on the first lap and are given 3 laps to beat that or not go below the time they set on the first lap. Simple? Yes, it is simple as simple can get Fun? Definitely.

Now, if thoughts of Model T Fords come to mind when thinking of classic cars, that is partly correct. A classic car, as far as this event is concerned, is one made before 1980. So a Porsche Turbo made in 1978 qualifies for this event. Also, other cars like Corvettes, Ford Mustangs, Lancia Stratos, or anything else one can get hold of, as long as it was made before 1980 can be entered in this race.

Just as no woman in her right mind would go out without makeup and a nice dress with matching shoes, no racer in his right mind would enter his car in a rally without preparing it properly. Cars can be prepped up and modified for this event so the usual performance parts from known aftermarket manufacturers are used, such as HRE rims, K&N Intakes, Kelford camshafts, Larini strut braces, Techart wheels and Tein coilovers.

The sight of the ocean and the hills and the exotic location of Mallorca make the Mallorca Classic Rally not only an exciting motoring event, but also a memorable one for its participants.

Officially, it is not a race nor is it sanctioned by the Federation Internationale de Automobile but it’s all about drifting. Yes, drifting as in violently swinging a car sideways to make it slide and look cool with all that tire smoke and making skid marks all over the place. And in the US it’s called Formula D. Explaining and understanding how judges award points or scores to declare a winner is an arcane procedure akin to  making a 2 sentence essay about Quantum Physics and is better left to the 12 year fans of this sport who can explain it better than any one else on this planet . Either way, it’s the coolness of seeing cars sliding about that make Formula D popular. Immensely popular.

It takes a certain degree of racing skill and talent to make a car slide sideways, and the heel and toe maneuvers with brakes, clutch and gas pedal have to be done just right. Do it all wrong, the car will flip over or nothing will happen.

When well known brands and manufacturers of car accessories like HRE rims, K&N Intakes, Kelford camshafts, Larini strut braces, Techart wheels, Tein coilovers as well as a thousand tire brands (tires are wasted like crazy in this sport) and brake kit start endorsing their products and are actually used in this sport, then that is a surefire sign that this is not just another run off the mill automotive event. It means tons of people avidly watch it. And the cars must be loaded with the aforementioned mentioned parts to survive in this race, most specially the brake kits and the tires. By the way, no front wheel drive cars are allowed unless these are converted to rear wheel drive and that convertibles be fitted with roll cages fro safety purposes.

Drifting originated in Japan, and somehow managed to find its way to shore of the US and other parts of the globe. Manga, anime and movies about drifting no doubt fueled interest in this unique sport. Formula D may seem new, but with its popularity, it will no doubt be around for years to come.

Since the advent of time, man has always had a certain fascination with speed. Maybe it all started when ancient man and his buddies were running for their lives while being chased by a saber tooth tiger and the fastest one could live to tell about it, while the slower ones would have been the subjects of the sorry tale. Then man started to show off whose horse was faster, then whose chariot was faster until we reach the modern age of man when seeing who gets the around a circuit the fastest with the best car wins.

And modifying racing cars went with it, by loading only the finest parts that money could buy like HRE rims, K&N Intakes, Kelford camshafts, Larini strut braces, Techart wheels, and Tein coilovers. So people not only race cars, bikes, trucks, lawnmowers but lately someone has cooked up something new. Motor home racing.

Yes, a motor home. The kind that is either a truck or bus or minibus that has a kitchen, bed and bath on it which people with their families take to camps and wild life parks on weekends to enjoy a nice, quite evening in the wild. Where on earth would people race their motor homes? Not on a public highway, where even a Fiat Panda can outrun and outgun them. A proper racetrack would be just the place. There are rules and regulations, just like any other recognized and homologated racing event.

The first rule is one night to prep the racing motor home. Then, drive it to the designated racetrack and race a couple of laps. Finally, go home with the motor home in one piece.  Is this race for real? Has anyone actually participated in this race? The answer is yes, on both counts. A fellow by the name of Richard Hammond (yes, one of the Top Gear trio) started it and the contestants were race car drivers in real motor homes, and was witnessed by about half a million people streaming it on YouTube. Will this race catch on? Well, in a world where people race almost about anything, this will definitely make it to the top with F1. Maybe, anyway. But it will definitely catch on.

Drag racing is as simple as it gets. 2 cars drive in a start from the same point which we shall call A, and move straightforward to a certain point which we shall call B. The first car which reaches point B first wins. There is a track for doing this sort of race, but all over the world, a stop light at an intersection with two cars set side by side is often an impromptu version of this sort of racing.

And sometimes, cops go after them to issue traffic tickets. Then there is the Detroit style drag race. The cars in these events are real, live, modified cars meant for drag racing. The kind which almost look like funny cars and are raced by the members of the National Hot rod Association of America on a track.  So what is the difference? This race is competed on a street, the kind where cars, school buses and milk trucks pass through everyday for 365 days a year.

In other words, NOT on a race track. No, this is not the kind of drag race which involves boozed-up teenagers and their equally jazzed-up cars with boom boxes. Accountants, orthodontists and respectable middle-aged men participate in this open street event, though some kids do join in once in a while. This strip of road in Detroit has been used by the Big Three to test their cars since the 1950’s, so it is sort of a tradition to race cars here. And the cars used to drag race here?

Just the kind anyone would see at any drag race, loaded to the brim with performance parts for the engine, brakes and suspension system such as  brake kits, HRE rims, K&N Intakes, Kelford camshafts, Larini strut brace, Techart wheels,  Tein coilovers and the works. Really serious stuff. Notice that no mention of where this street is ever mentioned here in this article. It’s a secret among the locals, but when it happens at a certain weekend, it’s very easy to spot.

Although there are varying opinions as to what a good car is, and volumes have been written about it, few things have been written about what a car should not be. For example, a good luxury sedan is one which is comfortable to ride in and exudes an air of prestige, a good sports car is one that is fast and looks cool, and a cool modified or tuned car is one loaded with tons of performance parts for the engine, brakes and suspension systems like brake kits, HRE rims, K&N Intakes, Kelford camshafts, Larini strut braces, Techart wheels, Tein coilovers.

So basically, a good car is one that is pleasant to drive and to ride, will do what the driver wants and will go to where it is suppose to go.  Which brings us to what a car should not be?

A car should not be one that handles so badly, it will turn over when running over a pebble or run around a slalom course and it tips over. If this seems like stating the obvious, there was such a car, a mini all SUV which was so unstable it would tip over and fall when driven in a sharp curve. People actually bought that car.

A car is means of transport and must be affordable to the masses, like the classic Volkswagen Beetle. But what it should not be is that it is so cheap, the parts so unreliable, the workmanship so shoddy and the car so ugly that it should not be offered for sale to the public. But there was such a car built by an eastern European manufacturer two decades ago. Some were sold, and many were wise enough to avoid it. That was definitely not a car, but a tragic mistake.

There are a thousand horror stories of what a car should not be, and automotive history is littered with examples of these piles of junk. It’s rare to see a poorly made car these days, but they still do exists. The bottom line is, know what a good car is in order to avoid buying a lousy one.

To many, Val Thorens is all about ski resorts and skiing. In fact, that is the reason why many tourist flock to Val Thorens in the snowy Alps in Europe. But there is actually an ice driving circuit there, and is one of the secrets of Val Thorens. Then came along the  memorable Top Gear episode showing the hosts Jeremy Clarkson, James May, and Richard Hammond slugging it out on the tracks with old  rear wheel drive vehicles against the likes of French Formula star Olivier Panis on a 4wd hatchback. One does not even have to fancy a guess as to who won, but it was one of the best Top Gear episodes ever.  Now, not only is Val Thorens about skiing, it is also about racing on snow and ice.

Racing on asphalt circuit may seem easy, but it does require a certain amount of driving skill. There are several race tracks open to the public around the world, and wannabe Schumachers frequently crash on the barriers even before they can even complete a single lap on their cars. Driving a car down town is one thing. Racing a car in a circuit is another.

Now, imagine racing on a circuit layered with ice and snow. If Olivier Panis gets a work out driving on an ice circuit, then 99% of people who know how to drive will have to really practice hard to get it right. Forget bringing an old Ford Cortina on an ice racing circuit, because even with snow tires it won’t work. The best weapon here is a 4 wheel drive lightweight hatchback with all the modifications in every inch of the car. Load it with brake kits, HRE rims, K&N Intakes, Kelford camshafts, Larini strut braces ,Techart wheels, Tein coilovers and every other performance part which improve handling, braking, acceleration through the corners  and then the car will be much more adequate for roughing it out in a snow covered track.

Mercifully, the track also serves as an ice driving school, and is perhaps a much better way to get a feel of driving on ice before actually racing on it. So before gunning that brand new Porsche Cayenne on the ice track and putting the pedal to the metal, it is prudent to first learn how to do it right and Val Thorens is just the place for that.

Human nature is a funny thing. People want to blend in but at the same time be unique and a little different from everybody else. Sure, everyone drives a Fiat 500 but no one wants to have his or her car looking exactly like the next door neighbor’s Fiat 500. Hence, enter the car modification shops or car tuners which will turn a even a humdrum Suzuki Alto to a sexy screaming street machine. Everyone has seen the MTV show and all it’s variants on cable in other channels, so everyone knows that modifying or tuning is THE thing to do to a car to personalize it.

There are several ways to go about in modifying and personalizing a car. One way is by making it a paper tiger car, a car that is all flash with its wicked air dams, rear air spoilers and fancy paint job but still has the heart and soul of an everyday commuter car. This is the kind of car that attracts attention by mimicking a Lamborghini Countach but is still a homely Toyota Camry at heart.

Then, there’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing kind of modified car. Unsuspecting show offs will taunt it at traffic lights and think they can out run it with their prepped Honda Civics. Tough luck. A car looking plain on the outside but has all the performance parts hidden neatly away under the hood will own almost anything else on the streets, except of course if it’s a Pagani Zonda or a Ferrari Enzo.

These “wolf in a sheep’s clothing” kind of modified cars have all the performance parts imaginable inside, from  brake kits, HRE rims, K&N Intakes, Kelford camshafts, Larini strut braces, Techart wheels, Tein coilovers and everything else to make a car zip like a bat out of hell and handle properly. Then finally, there is the ultimate modified car. The street fighter. It looks mean, and goes really fast, and has the audio system not all unlike the ones used in mega rock concerts.

From a simple personalized paint job to a fancy and total overhaul of a car, modifying a car is no different from choosing drapes for the kitchen or buying a new cell phone case to match the color of one’s favorite shirt. In a word, it’s all about personalizing something to be unique and different.

Japanese 3 door hatchback cars are extremely popular in the car market nowadays, and there are several reasons for this. These inexpensive cars are well known for being extremely reliable. The various Japanese brands like Subaru and Toyota occasionally rise triumphant in the World Rally Championships, and the fact that these cars can withstand endurance rallies and win is more than a testament to their reliability.  Often equipped with 1.5 to 2 liter 4 cylinder engines, these cars have very low fuel consumption, but despite that the performance of these pocket rockets are rather decent.

Not a bad thing when driving about in congested city traffic and at the same time having enough zip to blast past SUVs and station wagons at the freeways. But another factor why these hatchbacks are so popular among the younger generation is that these cars can be easily and inexpensively modified or tuned, which is not something that could be easily done with more expensive European coupes and sedans. Modification can take many forms. With regard to appearance, body kits such air dams and spoilers can easily be attached to these cars. Yes, Koennig of Germany does the same thing with Mercedes and Porsche, but these cars are very expensive and modifying these will cost an arm and a leg.

Performance enhancement parts for Japanese hatchbacks can be bought with a relatively modest budget .Engine, suspension ,wheels  and brake kits can be modified by adding aftermarket kits such as those manufactured by HRE rims, K&N Intakes, Kelford camshafts, Larini strut brace, Techart wheels,  Tein coilovers and several other popular aftermarket parts.

And perhaps THE thing to have on any young man’s car is the Boom Box. Yes, those audio systems with subwoofers the size of washbasins. Ever seen a Ferrari or a Lamborghini with a boom box? Perhaps not. The coolness factor of a car, for this generation perhaps, is not only how fast a car goes and how sporty it looks but also how LOUD it sounds with the speakers at full blast. And where is the perfect place to put these speaker systems? At the back of a Japanese hatchback.

Millionaire footballer Rio Ferdinand pictured at the Haven Holidays park in Wales

This year more and more Britains have faced down the recession with defiance through choosing to rediscover the country on a budget. The great British staycation seems an unlikely choice however for a Premiership footballer. With millions a year in wages and endorsements he is more likely to be seen vacationing in New York than Newquay.

The world's most expensive defender is used to the world's most expensive forms of transport

Rio Ferdinand has always been known for loving the ‘bling’ in life. The Manchester United and England star took delivery of a Porsche Cayenne earlier this year. The vehicle was specially customised for him by TechArt and forms part of a stable of exotic cars.

Yet as part of this summer’s vacation the world’s most expensive defender quietly took a top-of-the-range caravan for  a weekend and managed to completely avoid the paparazzi. Forgoeing the usual four-figure a night sums spent on lavish hotel suites by Premiership stars, Rio took a break at the Haven Holidays caravan park at Prestatyn in north Wales.

Manchester United's Rio Ferdinand on his 'other' vacation this year - a lads holiday in Tel Aviv, Israel

Accompanied by his fiancee Rebecca Ellison, 29, and their two sons Lorenz (three) and Tate (one) the British ’staycation’ formed a stark contrast to his last holiday. Earlier this summer the injured England centre-half took a lads holiday to Tel Aviv in Israel, where he stayed in luxury in a hotel with a rooftop pool.

Rio Ferdinand’s more usual home is a £5million mansion in the Alderley Edge area of Cheshire, famed for footballers and pop star residents. This evening due to a thigh injury he will be reduced to the part of spectator as England take on Croatia at Wembley. The match is a qualifier for the World Cup in South Africa next year.

The German tuners have announced the premiere of the TECHART Porsche Cayenne Diesel at this year’s Geneva Motor Show.  The TECHART Porsche Cayenne Diesel has received a new body kit which includes a new front spoiler with an integrated headlight unit, sill panels, a new rear apron with an integrated diffuser and a roof spoiler.  The TECHART Porsche Cayenne Diesel sits on new wheels that the tuner says improve the ventilation in the wheel arches.

The laptop, the foreword in computing portability is basically a computer whose profile is fitted into that of a folding book or file. The design is perfect, never broken, never needs fixing. Not unless a concept drawn up by Hao Hua, a Chinese student of Industrial Design in America, could that idea be changed. His design, the D-Roll is a computer whose profile doesn’t take after that of a book, but a literature medium much earlier than that, going to a time before binding, where everything was recorded in scrolls.

The D-Roll computer is basically an entire computer rolled up into one cylindrical container.  The computer is composed of a detachable roll up OLED screen, the keyboard is roll out in a cloth like fashion, while the ‘cap’ of one end of the scroll can be removed and turned into a mouse. Ingeniously the carrying straps of the cylinder can be detached to reveal USB ports, as well as serve as stabilizing arms, and the D-roll comes with webcams that can be attached to ones wrists. It is a brilliant packaging concept as it stray away from the restrictive, boxy designs that define computers and the concept explores a more flexible approach to the use of modern technology.

Even though this is just a flight of imagination, a mere student’s concept, and not anywhere near the production stage of any major corporation, looking at the amount of effort Hao Hua put into this design, I wouldn’t be surprised if a company snapped him up, and we will see a scroll profiled computer sitting on the shelves soon. Don’t bet against this concept not turning into reality, these days, such concepts are fast becoming a reality. Now Another Item Added to My Wish List. XD
