    • Angry Chinese driver tows Range Rover back to dealer with donkeys

      A man in Shenyang, China was reportedly so frustrated with his 2010 Land Rover Range Rover breaking down that he towed it back to the dealer and asked for a full refund. To add a little insult to his heady request, the spurned owner towed the stricken SUV with a pair of donkeys.

      Apparently the guy paid ¥2 million (about $304,000) for the English SUV in 2010. Since the purchase, the car reportedly broke down six times and eventually needed a new engine. When it died a seventh time, the owner was apparently at wit's end. The stunt managed to hammer the point home in a much less destructive manner than a certain Lamborghini owner recently chose. According to Asian auto news outlet TheTycho, the doubtlessly dumbfounded dealer refused to give the customer a refund.

            Okay then, here you go...

            This is a picture of a 2000 Talbo Series 1. These were obviously a recreation of the Talbot-Lago T150SS Tear Drop Coupe. These were built to order in Florida on a bespoke frame using a hand-laid fiberglass body. For the Series 1 up until 2001 they used a fuel injected 302 Ford engine, after that for the Series 2 a Jaguar V8 was used. They built around 20 of them. Not sure if the company is still in business but here is the website: TLC Carrossiers, Inc

            I took this crappy cell phone picture last year; this particular car was in for service at the very same garage I use for service! They have worked on it on several occasions, so I have seen it before and since. It is owned by a local businessman here in town with a pretty interesting collection, including Excaliburs and Bentleys.

            Anyway, it's a rare one, thought I'd share!

                      • ... a remarkable story, which I must have totally missed back in 2004. Taiwan. A whale stranded, and the local university wanted to have it. There we go! The full story and more pictures you find elsewhere...
                        (source and many more)

                        Hmmm... a humble display of Taiwanese curiosity, persistence and intelligence!

                        Remember: Do never want to have a whale carcass, even if it comes for free!!!

                        • ... ahem! This would then be another display of "intelligent human behaviour"... I knew this one for a while, but it fits the above context, so I thought you might enjoy this.
