18-year-old boy racer Danny Hyde filmed himself getting his Astra up to 130mph - quite a feat in itself - then stuck the resulting video on YouTube. But he was grassed up by an anonymous vigilante, who sent a link to cops.
The video showed Hyde filming his speedo with his phone, then the road, then his speedo again, obviously driving at warp factor three with only one hand on the wheel, as he hammered along the A14 near Ipswich.
The original video’s been taken off YouTube, sadly, but a saved version exists here at the Evening Star’s site if you want to see just how stupid the 18-year-olds of today actually are.
Danny admitted the crime, as you sort of have to when you’ve just videoed yourself doing it, and was today given a four month suspended sentence.
So there’s a bit of advice. If you’re going to film yourself doing something bad, don’t put it up on YouTube. The police can check stuff like this and find out who you are, even if you use a made up name.
An electronic musician from Uruguay converted a “retro-styled pilot suitcase” into a fully-functional PC, spending just $600. It comes complete with AMD 3200 processor, 1GB of memory, 120GB SATA HDD, and 15-inch Viewsonic LCD. Click here for first picture in gallery.
He did it for a simple reason: not enough money to buy a laptop. He needed something truly portable to take to his music gigs and a desktop didn’t cut it. So he designed the case and put every component needed inside
So in an effort to make use of those harmful exhaust fumes an Iranian design team came up with this concept. It’s a single burger grill that plugs into your exhaust and uses the heat from those gases to cook the burger.
Its really a rather ingenious idea, it uses a clamshell design to direct the gases around the burger, without them polluting the meat. The only downside is that you’d have to stop ever so often to either change out patties or flip the burger as it appears to only cook one side at a time.
Also, since it dog-legs downward, depending on what you drive, you’d have to worry about hitting the wrong bump and the thing being knocked off without you even knowing. Now if you could cook 4 burgers in the time it took you to run to McDonald’s to get French fries, it’d be nifty, but I doubt the cooking time would be that good. Like I said, its just a design, so it will probably never be made, and even if it did, it would probably cost too much.
You know how it is when you get a new car: proud owner, over-revving the engine at the lights, Boots budget sunglasses on, elbow out the window looking cool, nodding to the ladies, lights change, CHUNK, you stall it, panic, horns blaring, blushing with embarrassment, and, generally feeling like a complete pillock.
And that’s just in your new Renault Clio.
Imagine those same feelings – magnified a thousand-fold. That’s probably what the driver of this £1m Bugatti Veyron felt this week after he ran out of petrol on a US street and had to get a mob of laughing passers-by to push him to a garage. And on video too. The shame.
