The Urge has two seats that are modeled to like a cockpit, so the passenger will get to pretend he's driving while the driver hopefully isn't too distracted to do the real thing.
January 13 ROLLS ROYCE PHANTOM in lahoreThe email which i floated on few email groups the day i got to know about the car :), btw , the car is owned by the JANG / GEO group..
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
can't wait sharing this information !!!...
my cousin, who is an authentic luxury cars fan has sighted a car last night,he called me while i was driving and told me on the phone after getting the assurance that i will not bang my car in to anything :))))
.... our Lahore has a latest pearl white ROLLS ROYCE PHANTOM !!!!!!!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- November 18 Art of Luxury - Bentley, Buggati , Rols Ryce , Maybach !!most of us have heard abt many "luxury" car manufacturers like Bentleys , Bugattis , Rols Ryce and Maybach. Ever wonder how a company can afford producing just few executive class luxury cars a year no matter how expensive they are, they must also produce some small cars or more machine oriented cars to fully leaverage the assembly lines and resources. So, here is the solution to the mystery. Almost every upbrand version is being run by a strong car manufacturer, here are few statistics.
Bentley, Bugatti - Volkswagon Audi Groups
Rols Ryce - BMW group
Maybach - Mercedes Benz group
But there are obviously many shops running without the strong support of a bg manufacturer, to name Pagani Zonda and many more ! November 07 Aston Martin DBRS9The DBRS9 is based on the DB9 road car, but shares many design features from the full GT1 specification DBR9. It uses the road car’s aluminium bonded chassis with a DBR9-based roll cage. Aston Martin Racing’s engineers have tuned the standard 12 cylinder, six litre engine to produce approximately 550bhp (an increase of 20%) and reduced the overall weight by 480kg, to increase the power to weight ratio to nearly 430 bhp/tonne. Much of this is down to the extensive use of carbon composite materials for all the body panels (except the roof) and on the interior trim, as well as polycarbonate side and rear windows.  October 31 Brabus Mercedes SLR McLarenthis is not just SLR , its brabus SLR , with added body kits and HPs.Brabus is just like AMG , trying to make perfect even more perfect. They also phenomenally decreased the weight of the car by replacing some of the components with carbon ones...
have a look !!! October 14 mama nature is very hard on 'em pplThe way this earthquake struck our country, everyone is feeling sorrow and grief for the victims. The level of devastation has compelled us to forget our personal grieves and think out of the box. May Allah help those who luckily survived and bless with forgiveness the others who became victims of the incident September 06 somethin abt IslamabadLeaving for Islamabad today for the same office automation project, but purpose this time is requirements gathering and analysis. It’s going to be an even longer trip, around three weeks.
Now, something about Islamabad, what I can say, I knew few friends would be hurt but I can’t just help it. A dead city I must say, where you would rank a city where markets are closed after 10:00 pm at max? Where would you rank a city where you are unable to find some food to eat after 12:00pm? Where would you rank a city whose specialty is PALAO-KABAB !!! .. What the $#%^ !!.
The city is dead-calm and atmosphere is damn suspicious, it seems like everyone is trying to keep some secret with them, the people don’t seem like welcoming you and one can never fell much comfortable there. However, there are few plus points too, the environment is clear, the roads are free of noisy and hazy rickshaws and city is cleaner. But that’s not everything you need from the town you live in, Lahore I will miss you :(

August 30 Bugatti EB 218i never knew Bugatti had any interest ever in building sedans. But this french lady is stunning , purely stunning. It seems like from the time Volkswagen have took over bugatti, then have a change in strategy. This 547 BHP ,6.5 Litres engine is a mean machine.
Just came to know that this prototype was develped back in 1999. But never went into production. I wonder why, this car possess the most natural styling with modest curves. I dont know why, but i love simple styling. I hate those overkilled curves few italian desginers always like to produce. Well, this was a personal point of view bcz this is my blog and i have right to say whatever i want :) . have a look ... aint it marvellous ??? August 24 Murciélago, how to pronounceMurciélago, how to pronounce : The name of the latest Lamborghini model could be rather confusing to pronounce correctly, a small help can be found here, since the name is a Spanish word, you should roll your tongue and say it like 'more thea lago', with the accent on the 'thea' section, or something like 'murthialago', both pronunciations will be close to the original name. August 19 Office Automation on Yahoo! finance newsthe contract between the client and the contractor is now officially anounced. Check this link out !!! Two-Minute Management SeminarLesson One... An eagle was sitting on a tree -resting... doing nothing. A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him, "Can I also sit like you and do nothing"? The eagle answered, "Sure, why not?" So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.
Management Lesson One... To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.
---------------------------------------------------- Lesson Two... A turkey was chatting with a bull. "I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree but, I haven't got the energy", sighed the turkey. "Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?", replied the bull..."they're packed with nutrients". The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and found it actually gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally, on the fifth day, he found himself proudly perched at the top. There, he was promptly spotted by a farmer who shot him out of the tree. Management Lesson Two... Bull shit might get you to the top but, it won't keep you there.
---------------------------------------------- Lesson Three... A little bird was flying South for the winter. It was so cold, the bird's wings froze and he fell to the ground in a large field. While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him. As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, it began to realize how warm it was. The dung was actually thawing him out! The bird lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy. A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung and promptly dug him out and ate him. Management Lesson Three... 1.) Not everyone who shits on you is an enemy 2.) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend. 3.) And, when you're in deep shit it's best to keep your mouth shut!!!
This concludes your two-minute management seminar.
credits: Bugs July 29 The office automation storyThis Sunday evening we'll be leaving for Islamabad for a hands-on training on filenet. It is for couple of weeks and i can guess these are going to be this year's toughest weeks.
This Office Automation project is our baby, few months back , I and ab(Abubakar) were assigned the task of reading the Request for Proposal and try to come up with the technical proposal. The task was at that time not a big deal, well was annoying too (had nothing to do with the .NET code) , but you know, i consider myself a pretty dynamic personality :) .. so we started working on it, the workflows were figured out and their blue prints were prepared in VISIO. Later on, we were told that a consultant is going to join us for the proposal preparation, we were like :S, "uss kee kia zaroorat hia ??? "...but, only few sessions with Shahid sb. were eye openers and then we were like .. "achaa,,, iss terha bhee hota hia :)"..
Well, the story goes on, the proposal preparation went neat, then was the presentation. ……….
Ahhh… running short of time , the tickets are not confirmed, the hotel rooms are not reserved, lot of work to do mannn!!!!..... stay tuned for the part-2 after 2 weeks !!!!...

Sitting around in a group, discussing why a deadline was missed or a project failed, and who was responsible.
SEAGULL MANAGER. A manager who flies in, makes a lot of noise, cr*ps on everything, and then leaves.
ASSMOSIS. The process by which people seem to absorb success and advancement by sucking up to the boss rather than working hard.
SALMON DAY. The experience of spending an entire day swimming upstream only to get screwed and die.
CUBE FARM. An office filled with cubicles.
PRAIRIE DOGGING. When someone yells or drops something loudly in a cube farm, and people's heads pop up over the walls to see what's going on. (This also applies to applause from a promotion because there may be cake.)

SITCOMs. Single Income, Two Children, Oppressive Mortgage. What yuppies turn into when they have children and one of them stops working to stay home with the kids or start a "home business".

July 26 bmw 3-series 2006have you seen this thing on road, probably no , its too new, the quite old and blunt 3-sereis' are dangling on the roads like any other ordinary car, but this new model is not just ordinary. Few days back , we had to leave for Islamabad ( not a pleasure trip though), on motorway this saucy beast surpassed my car with atleast double the speed !!... my pathetic 1000 c.c would be atleast on 110+, now you can imagine the speed.
I loved the styling, curves are not as bold and expressive like 5-sereis carries but are not mature like the 7-series has. the looks are pollite and expressive at the same time, BMW made this car to hit the younger generation and i think they are sucessful. July 25 yesterdays sighted carswell , pakis are rich ppl , they are gettin new toys. what else , bmw's and mercs !!.. last night , we were hovering around defence area and went to hobnob. on this short_n_late night trip , i saw the following marvelous cars !!!
-> Mercedes Benz SLK ~~ black in colour
-> Mazda RX8 ~~ charcoal grey.
-> BMW 5 series ~~ i think the baby was silver , i recgonizd the lamps
-> not to mention , the X5, i know there are many now
-> n , above all , the brand new BMW 6 Series, oo man , the baby is hot , it was the hard top one and still not on road. its parked in the BMW showroom located in y-block defence, you can go and have a look July 22 Maserati MC 12 broke the powerlap record of Ferrari Enzo Maserati MC 12 broke the powerlap record of Ferrari Enzo !!!!!
both cars have same engine and same origin.MC12 is larger in dimensions , its longer than the enzo , but is lighter in wieght, the aerodynamics are almost the same, in choosing from the both , its the matter of choice, the prices are almost like the same. i've heard few ppl saying ,the maserati possesses more character, it has deeper roots in the racing culture than the ferrari itself. If you ask me , i'll definitly go for the Ferrari , to hell with the 0.02 seconds faster car ?!?!.. ferrari is ferrari you know :)..but, dont forget , there are only few enzos built, and one can get only if he has a good ferrari keeping record in his family.
Maserati and ferrari on and off are working togather, but i am deeply astonished how they managed to make a faster car than ferrari , ferrari is in the game of making the road killers from years , way to go maserati !!!!!!..
what will you find here !hello ppl,
welcome to my den , what will ya find here , obviosuly the things i like to keep with me (some precious car pics) , the memories i like to cherish (~ahh,, few sexycars sited ) , my passions (yeahhh,road killer machines once again ) , the things i love (what else,ferraris, Porsches, bimmers, mercs and bentleys) and sometimes, may be the things i hate the most ( i guess there are few ugly cars in the world :D) .....
so , here we go !!!!!... would like to add things i'd get to know , but it'd also has to do someting with the cars :))
cheers !!
omerash...
