Austin 2200...
40 years ago British Leyland fitted the 6 cylinder "E" series engine to the roomy "landcrab" body to produce the smooth, fast Austin 2200 (and badge-engineered Morris 2200). Is this an under-rated vehicle ??
British Leyland tried hard to attract attention to the Austin 2200 at European motorshows during 1972.....

After years of fighting for equality, European women will be finally getting equality, but it's not what they wanted. The European courts have ruled that lower motorcycle (and car) insurance for women is illegal and constitutes a discrimination; towards men.
So, starting the 21st of December 2012, women will be paying more for their insurance, some up to 40% more, bringing them to the same level as men. It doesn't matter that female riders are safer and have fewer accidents then men, it's a discrimination. So have ruled the courts.
IMHO, it also means that the courts should rule out higher insurance fees towards drunks, since that's discrimination as well...but then who am I? Not a scholar... I bet you the insurance companies are happy.

Lexus is taking its wheels from the highway to the runway with a new Vogue magazine ad campaign revealed at The Lexus Fashion Workshop. The automaker put four fashion designers to the challenge by having them create wearable pieces using over 2,000 parts from a dismantled Lexus CT hybrid.
The Lexus CT hybrid is made up of nearly 90 percent recyclable materials. Using everything from seat covers to crank bearings, the designers are making the message of the importance of recycling loud and clear. According to a Lexus press release, the designs include:
-“Environmental Crown of Virtue”- piece designed by Moss Lipow using a transmission starter and exhaust manifold gasket.
-“The Valve Collection”- designed by jewelry creator Eddie Borgo using valve lifters, crank bearings and hose clamps.
-“Nomadic Sanctuary”- trench coat, shorts and clutch designed by John Patrick using floor mats made from plant-based plastic, sustainable sound-dampening material, wire harness, leather seat covers and cargo covers.
-“The Luna Shoe”- designed by Alejandro Ingelmo using armrest leather trim and clear plastic tubing.
Brian Smith, vice president of marketing for Lexus, said,” Merging the worlds of luxury automobiles, art and fashion is another example of how Lexus is ‘Engineering Amazing’ or maybe more appropriately, ‘Engineering Unexpected.’” Smith continued, “We are able to challenge four designers to turn one of the most progressive hybrid vehicles into innovative fashion pieces, inspiring the designers, and the world, to see things differently.”
The pieces will be featured in a six-page advertisement in Vogue’s January 2012 issue. The pieces will be sold at a private auction during Art Basel Miami Beach with proceeds benefitting the Council of Fashion Designers of America/Vogue Fashion Fund (CFDA), a non-profit trade association representing more than 400 of America’s designers.
