The Dirtsurfer Freestyle = Bike + Skateboard !

The Freestyle Dirtsurfer($450) is faster than a skateboard and balance it like a bike. The bike skateboard? To control speed, the brake is a simple lever-activated disk brake mounted on the rear wheel. Just nudge the brake bar with your leg by leaning towards the rear for progressive, powerful braking. Cool see from the pictures.

Toyota Winglet

Tokyo announced today development of the "Winglet",a personal transport assistance robot ridden in a standing position. The Winglet consists of a body (with a projected area the size of an A3 sheet of paper) that houses an electric motor, two wheels and internal sensors that constantly monitor the user's position and make adjustments in power to ensure stability. Meanwhile, a unique parallel link mechanism allows the rider to go forward, backward and turn simply by shifting body weight, making the vehicle safe and useful even in tight spaces or crowded environments. TMC has created three models, the "L", "M" and "S", each having different handling, they can reach at 6Km/h cruising speed for up to 10km a jaunt (only 5km for the S model).They will begin testing in Autumn 2008 at Central Japan International Airport (Centrair) near Nagoya, and Laguna Gamagori. The first Toyota Winglets are expected to roll off of the production line in 2010.

Audi O: A fusion of Automobiles and Audio!

There are many concept cars out there and with each passing day many more seem to be pouring in and the concepts only seem to be getting crazier with the minute. ‘Audi O’, apart from the brilliance of the apt title, is one concept car that seems to be more grounded in reality yet is refreshingly different to say the least. The 2008 Audi O concept fuses audio equipment with transport and was designed by Ondrej Jirec, a design student from the Czech Republic who is beginning studies at the Art Center College of Design, Pasadena, California in 2008.The Audi O concept was designed to fuse a powerful and innovative audio system with a stylish and sporty four-seat hatchback. The exterior design uses several Audi trademark styling themes, especially at the front where the square grille sits neatly between the LED headlights. The doors feature glass windows running along the bottom edge which provide an interesting shape to the profile of the car. At the rear of the car the pullout door echoes the design of the squared off Audi grille.
The Audi O concept features a unique audio system which has internet connectivity for downloading music onto the built-in 650 GB hard drive. When parked up a Bluetooth system can connect two or more Audi O cars to play audio over a wider area. The concept is a real treat not just for car lovers but also those who love their tunes and wish they were surrounded by music all the time. It is nice to see more such realistic concept cars that work differently yet will interest the big boys of auto world.

The Old House and the Sea

Clingstone, an unusual, 103-year-old mansion in Rhode Island's Narragansett Bay. The house was abandoned in the 1940's until it was bought by Henry Wood in 1961 for $3,600. Clingstone had been built by a distant cousin, J.S. Lovering Wharton. Mr. Wharton worked with an artist, William Trost Richards, to create a house of picture windows with 23 rooms on three stories radiating off a vast central hall.
