Celebrity Wedding $16M - Rolls Royce Phantom $246K - Video Biography, Priceless!

A video biography is a lot more than just videography; it is a personal documentary filled with interviews, photographs, narration, archival footage, home videos, and music that is produced and edited into artistic, television-quality documentaries. Think of your family scrapbook on steroids. It comes to life, it speaks, it sings, and it tells stories to you and to generations to come. It's an awesome way to preserve and share memories. It's one of those, "Just Gotta Have It," kind of gifts, for which you will never experience a moment of regret.

In life we can expect some big-ticket items: college education, wedding, purchasing a house, buying a luxury car or boat, getting that much-needed facelift. These big-ticket items cause U.S. consumers to ask themselves, "Can I afford this?" Some folks are lucky enough to have disposable income for these kinds of purchases; some can only dream; while others, even in this lousy U.S. economy, embrace the notion that some items - even though considered "luxury" - are worth every penny... especially if they impact our lives in a positive way.

If a picture is worth a 1,000 words, wouldn't an entire video biography/documentary be worth at least several thousand dollars? Are your family memories worth as much, or more, than a sub-compact car? If the answer is "yes," then you are the perfect candidate for a video biography.
Think about it this way. Education is of paramount importance, but you have a choice: state-subsidized or private university.

Weddings are matters of the heart, so standing before the Justice of the Peace is just as legal and binding (not to mention cheaper) as a $16 million extravaganza.
I suppose a 1,300 square-foot house is big enough for a family of four, but 6,000 square feet is even nicer, especially when you have more bathrooms than bedrooms, as well as heated Pietra Firma LuxTouch tile on the outside balcony to ensure your comfort on cool evenings.

When it comes to economy and ecology, we owe it to this planet to buy sub-compact hybrid cars with great gas mileage, but oh... the feel of that Rolls Royce car seat with its 400 pieces of German Bavarian bull leather on your skin is just too glorious.

Speaking of cars and skin - my face needs more than a nip-'n'-tuck, it requires a complete overhaul. Do I choose the cheapest plastic surgeon, or the guy who did Raquel Welch's work? I'm going with the latter.
So, this brings us to the question: "Can money make us happy?" Maybe not entirely, but it can make the journey to find happiness a lot more comfortable and interesting. And once more it can finance extraordinary memories. I'm not talking about scuba diving the Great Barrier Reef or skydiving into the Haleakala Crater in Maui; I am talking about capturing a lifetime of memories and sharing them with family and friends.

Video Biographies

"What the heck is a video biography?" you ask. I can assure you, it's not just videography. A video biography is a personal documentary filled with interviews, photographs, narration, archival footage, home videos, and music that is produced and edited into artistic, television-quality documentaries. Think of your family scrapbook on steroids. It comes to life, it speaks, it sings, and it tells stories to you and to generations to come. It's an awesome and practical way to preserve and share memories.

Gone are the black lick-'em-and-stick-'em photo corners, plastic hold-your-photos-in-place film, and the tower of archival photo boxes marked by years. What can I say? Things change. Just think about what we did before zip-lock plastic bags - we used waxed paper! With the incredibly strict air travel rules today, can you imagine having to wrap your allowed items in waxed paper to take onboard with you? Crazy, yes? Well, in a way, so is keeping your prized memorabilia stuck between sheets of paper, crammed in shoeboxes, locked in the safe deposit box, or left to self-destruct on cassette tape (audio & visual).

How to Tune Your 2011 Mustang GT 5.0L

The new Mustang is an amazing piece of machinery. Ford has done an excellent job to refine the legendary Mustang. With 412 HP and 6 speed transmission, the car is capable of running 0 to 60 in 5 seconds. Many would be happy with the way it is, the beauty relies in the car ability of even better performance. Basic mods will get the car up and running with the big boys in the Chevrolet and Dodge clans.
Many tuners start with programming the car. This is the most effective modification that you can do to your Mustang. SCT is the leader in this field with no competition what so ever. Their pre-set tune was able to extract 28hp and 34ft-lb from the automatic 5.0, 32hp and 31ft-lb from the six speed manual transmission. These figures are from an off the shelf tuner worth $379!. With such increase in power, the 5.0 Mustang will, in no doubt, be able to run 0 - 60 in less than 5 seconds. The increase in performance from SCT Flasher will also result in better MPG. 1 to 2 MPG is a typical increment from an SCT tune.

Cold Air Intakes (CAI) are the next logical step in the progress of upgrading a Mustang. Many leading brands are available for the 5.0 Mustang, all with good results. Seems like Steeda has led the way in CAI for the late model Mustangs. It is a combination of performance, quality and look. Independent tests for Steeda CAI on the 5.0 Mustang have shown an increase of 12hp and 10ft-lb. A great result from a $370 mod, plus added deep sound and nice look under the hood. Now your Mustang should be running low 12's in the quarter mile.

The third modification involve the exhaust system. Some enthusiasts go for a cat-back upgrade, and some go for the headers and mid-pipes. Rarely do people go for full exhaust at this stage in one go, for costs reasons. A quality cat-back will be in the range of $850, an x-pipe is usually $500, long tube headers are close to $1,000. Personally I often go for headers and x-pipe. I believe it is where the power come from, plus I am not very keen on loud exhausts, which is commonly the case with aftermarket mufflers. Independent tests for Stainless Works exhaust show good dyne numbers from the full exhaust set, around 25hp increase, and not much improvement in torque, but usually around 5ft-lb.

Well, these are the basics in upgrading your amazing 5.0 Mustang. The car should be making close to 500 hp at the flywheel and capable of running low 12's to high 11's in the quarter mile. I hope this article gives you an insight of the recommended parts and brands by the Mustang community.

Lamborghini Aventador Lends Occasion To Any Event You Choose

Launched in spring this year at the top event of the motoring year, the Geneva Motor Show, Lamborghini's new flagship model will give you breathtaking performance and awesome aesthetics. It is ideal to add a new dimension to your leisure time in the form of sports car hire.

The Lamborghini Aventador has the latest in Independent Shift Rods transmission, claimed to be faster and 'more emotional' than a dual-clutch system. Indeed, the seven-speed, semi-automatic gearbox achieves gear changes significantly faster than a dual clutch, in 50 milliseconds. From there, power is distributed throughout via an electronically-controlled Haldex coupling, distributing forces to both front and rear.

Formula One inspired, its lightweight chassis with pushrod suspension completes the picture. A perfect balance is achieved through aluminium double wishbones coupled with carbon-fibre ceramic brakes. Lightweight yet fierce, this Lamborghini hire gives maximum dynamism. This is accomplished thanks to three driving modes of 'Strada' (road), Sport and 'Corsa' (track). These harmonise the engine, transmission, differential, steering and dynamic control in perfect synchronicity.

Everything about this car is a step ahead, according to Stephen Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini. He calls the Aventador, "a jump of two generations in terms of design and technology ... the result of an entirely new project, but at the same time a direct and consistent continuation of Lamborghini's brand values. It is extreme in its design and its performance, uncompromising in its standards and technology, and unmistakably Italian in its style and perfection. Overall, the dynamics and technical excellence of the Aventador LP 700-4 makes it unrivalled in the worldwide super sports car arena."

The highest power to weight ratio of any supercar of this class is achieved with an engine block weighing just 235 kilograms, and an overall weight of just 1575 kilograms. This 6.5 litre 12-cyclinder lean machine produces a blistering 512 kw, reaching 62 mph in just 2.9 seconds. This sports car hire is indeed the bull with 700 horse power. On its television test debut, it achieved the second fastest time ever around the Top Gear track. However, despite the 8% increase in power over its forefathers, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are reduced by around 20 percent.

Utopia is reached in the design cues of the Lamborghini Aventador. Whilst the Aventador represents an evolution of its predecessor, the Murcielago, it also contains hues of the limited-edition Reventon, as well as the Sesto Elemento and Estoque concepts.

The investment required to own an Aventador is over £200,000. Even if this is within your reach, all cars in the production run of the first eighteen months sold out within the first month post-launch. Production will be limited to 4000 as the moulds used to make the carbon fibre monocoque are designed to deliver 500 units each and only 8 have been made. The only way therefore to have one within your reach in the British Isles is through rent car UK.

Porsche 911 GT3 RS: Definitely Not Your Average Race Car

If you are looking for a legitimate racing car that's approved for common road use, perhaps you'd consider getting a Porsche 911 GT3 RS. It's a car that looks great and drives great, and considering the power this baby can muster, this is definitely a must have for those who love high speed thrilling rides. The 911 GT3 RS comes packed with everything that you can expect from a Porsche: a special suspension for safety and ease of handling, a lightweight body due to its weight saving parts, and even a large wing spoiler made from carbon fibre, giving it the authentic race-hungry look.

When you peek under the hood, you'll see that the Porsche 911 GT3 RS is something that you wouldn't want to mess around with. It's packed with a very powerful 3.8 litre flat six engine, which is capable of churning out 450 horsepower. Take it out for a spin and you'll immediately see its potential; your competitor would be left behind in your trail of dust and smoke. Coupled with the lightweight body and its aerodynamic design, you'll really own the race tracks with the 911 GT3 RS.

When it comes to safety and handling, the Porsche 911 GT3 RS is first on the excellence list. Handling is improved through its special PASM suspension which has wider tracks on both ends, as well as dynamic engine mounts wherein you can adjust the stiffness and damping to your preferred settings. The height of the 911 GT3 is significantly lowered, so the center of gravity is brought closer to the ground. This means the chances of rolling over is also significantly reduced, assuring you of a safe ride even at thrilling high speeds. By lowering the whole car, its wind resistance is reduced, thus allowing you to squeeze more speed from this monster. Add this to its carbon fibre rear wing and a very efficient titanium exhaust system, and you'll be king of the road in no time.

When it comes to Porsche 911 GT3 RS colors, you have five paint colors that you can choose from, including metallic silver or black with orange accents, orange or green with black accents, or a pure Carrera white without any contrasting color. The interior of the Porsche 911 GT3 RS exudes class and comfort even at first glance. It has bolstered racing seats which are all leather-upholstered with Alcantara (suede-like fabric) inserts. You'll find that even small items like the gear knob, the lever for the handbrake, as well as the whole steering wheel, are covered in such a classy material.

McLaren MP4-12C Review - A Race Car on Your Way

Claiming that their goal was as simple as to win, Ron Dennis from McLaren Automotive launched the new MP4-12C. With the track record McLaren holds, nobody seems even close to being dare doubting this claim by Ron Dennis. At its launching, the honor belonged to both Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button to unleash the car from its cover. This car comes with a mid engine and carbon fiber chassis. It is a surefire that there is not any other car manufacturer on Earth could do the same.

To this McLaren manufacturer, based on Britain, this is a moment of great pride. And, to prove it, Dennis tried to seduce those who came to the launching by showing the audiences 2 videos with 2 of the world's F1 champions mentioned earlier. The videos showed that both Lewis and Jenson took part in the McLaren MP4-12C research team, successfully handling Goodwood circuit by means of a pair of MP4-12C prototypes painted in solid black.

Another proof that this car is superior is the positive comments it receives from both Lewis and Jenson. The whole world knows that both these global F1 champions are not the kind of people who get satisfied quite easily. However, they both admire the performance shown by this particular car, the turning grip and also the comfort level the car is able to offer.

All those things above have been possible thanks to the fact that this McLaren MP4-12C has been designed following the guidelines that are known only to the F1 teams. As a matter of fact, what is even better is that Gordon Murray - both the legend and father of the McLaren F1 - admires this amazing car. He mentioned that there were plenty supercars around us, but none of them could have a chassis as sophisticated and advanced as the one that is owned by this car. He also added that this is the main selling point of the McLaren MP4-12C and this shows the tight relationship the car has to the world of F1.

Carbon fiber chassis built with less than half a millimeter in terms of tolerance along with a twin turbo V8 engine with a capacity of 3,800 cc, this McLaren MP4-12C is able to accelerate from a standstill up to 200 km/h in less than 10 seconds. Yet, even though McLaren has yet to announce the detailed specification for this amazing car, the manufacture claims that the car will come to a standstill from the speed of 160 km/h in a distance not more than 30 meters.

The car's wild performance comes from the light weight it has obtained thanks to the carbon fiber chassis it counts on. This carbon fiber chassis has reduced the weight of the car considerably that the weight does not even reach 1,300 kilograms. With that being said, this particular car is even lighter compared to Mercedes SLS and Ferrari 458, 2 of McLaren MP4-12C's rivals which weigh 1,620 and 1,485 kilograms respectively.

Yet, another advantage of the McLaren MP4-12C is that it produces less than 300 grams of CO2 in one kilometer. Well, at least that's what McLaren Automotive claims. So, once again, this car successfully beats its 2 rivals above, each of them produces 314 and 307 g/km of CO2 respectively.

This McLaren MP4-12C has also come equipped with an F1-inspirated seamless shift double-clutch gearbox. With this technology, the driver of the McLaren MP4-12C will have the power to adjust the gearbox ratio according to his or her needs, be it performance driving or daily driving. Yet, besides the F1-inspirated gearbox, the owner of this car will also find quite a few other things that are inspired by the F1 technologies as well. One example is the rocker-mounted gear selector. This one is exactly the same one as that used in F1 cars. This enables the driver to shift up or down by pushing or pulling the lever accordingly.
