What can a VIDEO be about that includes a BMW S 1000 RR and the tablecloth myth?

What can a VIDEO be about that includes a BMW S 1000 RR and the tablecloth myth?
You guys just have to see the video. It’s the least wasted 1 min of anyone’s life. Not being a great fan of Mythbusters or the like, I don’t know if they ever tried to bust the old pull-the-tablecloth trick, or if they did or did not bust out the myth. Back in the day when medieval princes where bored as hell and they came up with this stunt, I’m not sure they had 193 horsepower in a single machine. Unless maybe, earlier in history though, good old Hercules had too much mead or something…

Back to the subject. A long elegant table full of high-class dishes and all sorts of tabelware, flowers along of course, a white stylish down-to-the floor long cloth. Add in a BMW S 1000 RR, the 193 horsepower that hits 60 mph / 100 kmh in under 3 seconds – and of course the human factor – a pro driver with a quick set of wrists and lots of anger in his eyes, be they under the casket.

What happens? See for yourself in the clip. BMW takes you out! By the way, you can own such a beauty and bring the house down at parties trying the trick for yourself (well, or just drive down those streets like a normal sports biker, it’s up to you…) for around $ 13-14k.

Frankfurt Auto Show ladies – must see gallery of glamour hostess girls
Give it to Germany to make killer cars, killer music, but this old center Europe territory is not too bad when it comes to … women either. Well, each company brought its best looking assistants to the Frankfurt Auto Show, but local managers surely had their say too -  so a big thumbs up for German fems!
Without further (needless) ado take a glance (or two) at the gallery below. Just the perfect thing to take your mind a bit off wheels, steers and engines. Hehe.

By the way, my favourite femme-fatale would be the school-girl look one next to the Lancia Ypsilon. Thought I wouldn’t say no to a couple of others either. Which is your pick? Do not hesitate to use the comment section on the bottow of this article.

First Pictures Of The Extreme Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 SV
Lamborghini will unveil at Geneva an extreme version of the Gallardo model, named LP570-4 SV, characterized by low weight and increased power.
Last days of 2009 were announcing an important premiere at Lamborghini stand at the Geneva Motor Show. Unofficial sources spoke of a performance version, named LP570-4 SV, of the Gallardo model. It seems that the rumors were true, Italians released today the first two pictures of the new version that will become the star of the Swiss auto salon in March.
Unfortunately for fans of sports brand, the images that appeared in the press today are not accompanied by  the information on power and performances that supercar will be capable of. Unofficial sources say the current 5.2-liter engine unit will provide 10 extra horsepower, power indicated by the name – Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 SV – the previous LP560 featuring 560 HP. The resources will be sent to both axles, which will benefit, among others, from a recalibrated suspension for extreme behavior.

 To control the 570 horsepower beast, the driver will have a new set of ceramic carbon brakes, custom made for this car. On the outside, the SV version will have a new aerodynamic package, which includes a new front bumper and a huge carbon fiber rear spoiler.
