btw the drawing of the car is mine... and my names Dom lol sorry about that

Sell your car for just $40 at CarPoint.com.au It's simple!

This is a sketch of a concept car for Audi; I did this drawing this afternoon using grey lead, pen and Copic Markers. What I find draws me about this sketch is the sleek lines and angles that the car embodies. The design of the rims just seems to sum up the lines and the shape of the car nicely. The gleam (or pigeon poo) could have been done better but there's always next time.

My Civic


Hey everyone,
Sorry to put another car on this blog, but i had to show everyone my ride.
Why is my car cool?? Firstly its a custom colour (both body and rimes) so it is unique. Its got 17 inch bronze rims, which is lowered on king springs. I have put a full body kit on it, which is an origional honda kit, straight from honda. I also recently installed a catback exhaust, and put eye lids on which is not in this picture. Moving onto the interior. I have a panasonic head unit, and the car is decked out with JL speakers, with JL splits at the front and JL 6x9s at the rear, which is powered by a four way JL amp. As seen in the last picture I have two 12 inch pioneer subwoofers, which are 1000w each, and they are powered by a fusion monoblock amp. Well thats basically it. Keep an eye (or an ear) out for me.

Timex TX54 disposable nail watch design

I think this is a pretty cool design!!!! This is a disposable thumbnail watch.What I like about TX54 is that there are a selection of text colour options and glow features.It is a stylish and functional design!

EFIJY

I thought i should keep the car theme rolling with this one.
Nothing cooler than bringing back the classics. Its called
"EFIJY", its a few years old now i know but still great.
Designed and built in Oz, under Chief Designer Richard Ferlazzo  
It was based on the iconic FJ holden built back in the 50's.
It puts out similar power to the V8 supercars with its
480-kilowatt, supercharged six-litre V8. Other features
include airadjustable shock absorbers through the touch
control LCD screen and fan-cooled LED headlamps.
so to sum up. Super cool!

I know this remote control may not be as cool as all the cars u guys

Solo F1 Car

I found this sculpture of a Formula 1 racing car when i was at the 2007 Melbourne Formula 1 Grandprix. I think it is cool because the artist has constructed the car mostly out of Solo aluminium drinking cans while retaining almost the exact same size and design of a real Formula 1 car. It also thought it was a very clever way of promoting the product "Solo" at the Formula 1 Grandprix because it captured the interest of F1 spectators like me walking around the track and enjoying the day.

Tesla Roadster

I thought i'd throw in this image of the new Tesla Roadster developed by Tesla Motors. The reason why this car is great is that it is one of the first electric cars that doesnt look a rechargable battery pack with wheels (ie Prius hybrid etc...), its looks awseome and in fact is more than just a great design visually.

The car runs 100% on electricity, revs to 13,000rpm and accelerates to 100km/h in 3.9 seconds! And the best part in terms of sustainablity and economy is it does all this for around 2 cent per mile. Its all due to lightweight carbon fibre body parts and efficient electric engine which gives it an excellent power to weight ratio.

Now how cool is that.

back to the future

the reason i chose this image was because the new nike hyperdunks look a lot like the shoes Micheal J Fox wares in back to the future. the shoe incorporates a very "old school" design in material but has a very distinct modern shape, however it is missing glow in the dark lights and an automatic strap that fastens itself when the shoe is worn.

I think this picture or concept is cool. I like the body language of the car.
it's a pretty slick design but not a fan of the rims design. The fact that it
is a Peugeot concept impressed me because haven't seen a good design
from Peugeot to date.

HEART photography exhibition

Image: http://www.abc.net.au/local/stories/2008/07/04/2294935.htm
 
This image is from an exhibition in northcote which i think is pretty cool. it's a series of photographs taken by mainly teenagers who had previously been caught up in the justice system, and are now on the path to rebuiling their lives. alongside each real-life photo is a short biography which describes each person's troubled past and they struggles they currently face, trying to overcome the negative image held against them. i like the exhibition mainly because of how candid and honest it is---the stories are really captivating, and i like the fact that you get to know a bit about the artist behind the work :)

Volkswagon Kombi

The volkswagon kombi is an absolute classic. I chose this particular car purely on the basis that it is vintage and timeless. Its box shape, with somewhat little tyres, gives it character, making it look rather buggish like it sister the volkswagon beetle. Its windscreen, unconventional as it may be (being able to be opened) also adds to the fun loving character of the car. The kombi is known to some as 'the forerunner of modern cargo and passanger vans'. These cars may be old however you cant help but look at them when they pass you by on the road...

the bicycle kitchen -Los Angeles

i decided to post this pic for two reasons.. firstly because i couldn't work out whether this was a tool/shadow board or an art piece, which was intriguing (: .. also because i then found that the picture was the wall of 'the bicycle kitchen' in the US where people volunteer to teach bicycle users how to fix their own bikes (which is cool in itself). the wall i really liked,. it is quite an aesthetic though cluttered organisation system which is hard to intentionally create! and the brightness of the red with the dull/ worn tool colours seems to make the chaos subtler.

Water Cube

I think the new Beijing aquatic centre is cool... Not only is the design innovative, dramtic, and exciting, the building is also environmentally friendly using solar energy to heat it's pools. The detail on the outside of the building was based on the natural formation of bubbles, which lights up with many bright colours. The scheme and design formation that was developed in Australia has added a touch of magic to Beijing.

TOMS shoes

These are TOMS Shoes...for every pair of shoes that TOMS sells they give a pair to a child in need. So, not only are these really cute shoes that come in all sorts of patterns and colours for men, women and kiddies but they are also a great example of the way fashion can have a conscience!!

The "i Bar"

This is an interactive bar counter. A touch screen coupled with video projectors act to sense and display items on the counter. I think its cool because although touch screens have been integrated into so many appliances i hadn't seen them integrated into a bar counter before.

a cool video of the counter in action can be seen here.
