This is something amusing. Key in www.protonedar.com in your web browser URL bar. Look where it takes you.

I looked up the domain name to check out who is the one responsible for this and it appears to be some Anthony Lee person from China.

This is a weird way to prove the strength of the Proton Savvy chassis. I don’t know whether to call it an honour or an insult. Quite amusing Don’t take it too seriously, it’s just a joke.

MONSTER TRUCK RACING ASSOCIATION USA PURCHASES PROTON SAVVY

Friday, June 10th 2005

In what seemed as automative ground breaking news, the USHRA Monster Trucks annouced today that it will purchase the latest Proton automobile launched just 2 days ago. In an interview, the spokesman for the USHRA Monster Trucks , Frederick Walker confirmed that the association has ordered 50 units of the newly launched Proton Savvy today.

He personally delivered the order to Chief Executive Officer of Proton, Tengku Mahaleel Ariff later this evening at Proton Headquarters, Tanjung Malim. The cars will replace existing scraped cars in all of the associations arenas and race events.

“We are very excited about this new car. The price is right, and the reusability of the car is high. The soft surface of the Savvy will ensure our Monster Trucks ™ will not suffer heavy tyre damage or unwanted punctures during racing. It’s body is the toughest of its class. It will be reused many times in races and I’m sure Malaysians will be proud to have American made Monster Trucks stomping all over it on prime TV.” Mr Frederick Walker when asked to comment about the purchase.

Malaysians can expect the Proton Savvy to debut in Monster Truck races very soon and they can catch them live on “Pall Mall Action Gear : Monster Trucks” aired over TV2 every Thursday 8.00 PM.

Hate can be a positive emotion sometimes. Not necessarily a dark side emotion. Which is what “Hate something, change something” by Garrison Keillor is trying to say.

The song is being used by Honda for their new i-CTDi diesel engine. Yes, this is Honda’s first ever diesel engine. Honda developed it to be used in their Honda Accord model for the European market. Since then, it’s also been used in other Honda models such as a diesel version of the Honda CR-V.

The advertisement tells the story of how Honda’s first diesel engine was created. Honda’s chief engine designer Kenichi Nagahiro hated diesel engines because of how noisy, smelly and dirty they were. What do you expect from someone who created the venerable VTEC engine. Such a technological masterpiece of an engine that was.

When asked to design Hondas first diesel he flatly refused - unless he was allowed to start completely from scratch. The result is one of the cleanest, most refined diesel engines on the market today, the 2.2 i-CTDi.

Honda used to offer diesel version of it’s Civics and other vehicles but this was through partnerships with Isuzu using Isuzu diesel engines.

The 2.2-litre i-CTDi engine produces 138bhp at 4000rpm and an impressive 250lb ft of torque from as little as 2000rpm. It features four valves per cylinder, common rail injection, a turbocharger and it has an all-aluminium block.
