Know It Or Blow It

First we had will.i.am creating the “Yes we can” song for Obama, becoming an instant (internet) hit:

Now, yesterday I found john.he.is’s response

Some of my co-workers drive a specific car brand, and I must say I’m inclined to buy one myself.

However, during a business trip to Denmark last week, somebody told me about the Tesla Roadster. 0-60mph in less than 4 seconds (faster than a standard Porsche!), 130mph peak (fast enough) and looking very good (like the Lotus Elise, another car I’m looking into).

So, what’s the catch ? This sports car of your green dreams is a plug-in electric vehicle… Not a Hybrid, electricity all the way!

As they said on Top Gear: “I know that will have got a couple of groans from the audience. But bear with me here, as this isn’t like any of those horribly cynical early efforts. The ones produced by global car companies trying to deflect attention from their tree-flattening SUV money-makers. This one’s different. No, really, it is. “

I’m seriously considering this. I’m not an environmentalist at all, but this one looks nice, is (somewhat) affordable, and will be faster (for the first mile(s)) than these bloudy 911’s Too bad it has a waitinglist till next year, and only available in the US for now, however, there might be a way to get and import it… Let’s see what the RDW has to say on this.

Tonight are the finals, so anxious to see the results!

Update He won! See his final performance below:

Oh, and btw: NEVER EVER go to the Mi Familia restaurant in Stamford, UK. We had the worst treatment ever at that place.

ARNHEM - A 23yr old guy crashed into 22 parked cars on monday morning.

The guy, who remained unhurt, proved to be under the influence of alcohol, according to the police.

The Edenaar went by unknown cause in a slide, his car tumbled over and kept on rolling, crashing into 22 other cars.

Wow. Couldn’t even have done that being sober…

I would not have dared to predict this, and even during the match itself still no good feeling, but the unthinkable happened…
PSV KAMPIOEN!

And as my little godson Jarno immediately wrote me: Knoei Kampioen!

(And yes, we WILL remember this season and how PSV became champion)
