This is a Hulme F1, a street-legal sports car developed in New Zealand. This twisted car looks like a stripped-down Lamborghini Gallardo (due to its headlights and orange paint, commonly associated with the Gallardo) and houses a BMW engine. The car, manufactured by Supercars Limited, was named after New Zealand's only F1 champion, Denny Hulme. The car is supposed to give the driver the same feeling and thrill as driving a real F1 car.
Last week, I talked about my favourite jet, the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird. This week, I will be talking about my favourite sports car brand, Lamborghini!
First up, the Lamborghini Gallardo. The standard Gallardo houses a 5 litre, V10 engine (10 pistons), 373kW (500bhp) base and a 510 N-m torque. The car is capable of going from 0-100km/h in 4 seconds, 0-200km/h in 14.5 seconds and a top speed of 309km/h.

The newer Gallardo SE (Special Edition) houses a meaner 388 kW (520 bhp) base. It is capable of going from 0-100km/h in 3.8 seconds and a top speed of 327km/h.

The newest 2007 Gallardo superleggra is the fastest of the three Gallardos. It boasts a carbon body, making it super light or superleggra. The car gets 10 extra hp (horse power) and 154 fewer pounds.

The Gallardos are actually slower than the Murcielago, but the Gallardos handle better, making it a more practical and safe car.
*****
Lamborghini is also designing a new SUV, which will house a 6 litre V12 engine borrowed from the Murcielago. The new SUV also features some characteristics similar to the Murcielago, like its headlamps and its side air vent.

Mary received a parrot as a gift. The parrot was fully grown with a very bad attitude and worse vocabulary. Every other word was a curse; those that weren't curses were to say the least, rude. Mary tried to change the bird's attitude by constantly saying polite things, words and playing soft music... anything she could think of. Nothing worked.She yelled at the bird and the bird got worse. She shook the bird and the bird got madder and more rude. Finally in a moment of desperation, Mary put the parrot in the freezer to get a minute of peace. For a few moments she heard the bird swearing, squawking, kicking and screaming and then, suddenly there was absolute quiet. Mary was frightened that she might have actually hurt the bird and quickly opened the freezer door. The parrot calmly stepped out onto Mary's extended arm and said,
"I'm very sorry that I offended you with my language and my actions and I ask your forgiveness. I will endeavor to correct my behavior and I am sure it will never happen again."
Mary was astounded at the changes in the bird's attitude and was about to ask what had changed him, when the parrot continued,
"May I ask what the chicken did?"
Once some boys got together to play poker one night, after about 4 hours of playing, Tim had severe chest pains and suddenly slumped over. One of the gamblers who happened to be a doctor, examined him, and to everybodies shock, poor Tim had died of a heart attack.
All his friends didn't know how to break the news to his wife. Finally Johnny said,
'I can be diplomatic about it and break the news gently!'
Johnny rang the bell at Tim's house, and when his wife answered the door, he calmly said to her,
'Tim just gambled with us and lost 1,000 dollars!'
When Tim's wife heard this she said,
'Tell him to just drop dead!'
Johnny answered,
'That's exactly what he did!'
