Aston Martin V8 Vantage on Test

Wednesday, February 28th, 2007

You sit low in the Aston Martin V8 Vantage, high bonnet bulging in front, windscreen shallow. You feel power ready to burst forth, an impression heightened by the way the Vantage’s bodywork hugs the mechanicals beneath: flared-out wheelarches, taut, pulled-in corners, compact muscularity. Press the start button, hear the V8 bark its awakening, snick the rear-mounted Graziano transaxle into the first of its six forward gears, roar off. A real supercar awakes!

The engine note hardens as you approach 4,000rpm and an exhaust by-pass valve opens. It opens briefly on start-up, too, for added drama. At the same time the engine gets a second wind and rushes so keenly towards its limit that you wonder why what exactly would happen if the limiter was disabled. So the temptation is to rev it all the time, belting out the V8 hammer-beat, flicking up and down the gears.

~~Pretty torquey, smoother, flowing

But you don’t need to over-drive the Aston like that. It’s actually pretty torquey low down, just less bombastic; it’s smoother and quicker to carry a higher gear through a corner, flowing and drifting and revelling in the the most interactive Aston in years. Its steering is quick, crisp and meaty, and its lack of ultimate transparency doesn’t matter so much when there are so many other dynamic clues acting on your body. Every corner is taken in a gently tail-out attitude, and you sense that if there was a little less grip you’d be doing delicious drifts to order. The Aston rides well, too.

Caterham Seven Roadsport 150 – a super out-and-out sports car

Wednesday, February 28th, 2007

Out-and-out, no-frills small sports cars with stunning acceleration, handling but limited comforts all at a low price -that’s Caterham. The latest model is the Caterham Seven Roadsport 150, which is a budget model. Still you get a lot of performance for your money. The CSR is the most expensive Caterham, which has even more thrilling performance.

It is 50 years since Caterham Cars bought the licence to manufacture and market the Lotus Seven from Colin Chapman at Lotus Cars. To celebrate, Caterham has introduced the Caterham Roadsport 150, powered by a Ford engine, like the original Lotus Seven, but with about three times as much power!

~~Ford Sigma 1.6 liter engine with 150 bhp

The Caterham Roadsport 150 is powered by Ford’s all-aluminum four-cylinder 1.6 liter engine, tuned to develop 150 bhp. Doesn’t sound much does it? But the Caterham Roadsport 150 weighs only 1,210 lb (550 kg), which is half the weight of the Mazda Miata/MX-5.

The result is stunning acceleration with a power-to-weight ratio of 270 bhp per tonne, enough to get the car to 60 mph in 4.9 seconds. That is very quick, up in the supercar class, and a full three seconds faster than the 2.0-liter  Miata/MX-5.

Careers for Aging Adults

Monday, February 26th, 2007

Aging adults have a great deal of career experience and sharing that knowledge can often turn into a full or part-time position. Many seniors who worked in technical fields offer their services as consultants to businesses in the same industry. In fact, some of these older adults actually work for the same company from which they retired and draw pension. The flexibility of a consulting career is especially appealing because the consulting contract can be for a specific period and then the subject matter expert can take some time off if they choose.
