Alonso for Ferrari, Raikkonen for McLaren


It looks like the long running saga of the Formula 1 driver's seat for Ferrari and Mclaren has come to an end.

The Formula 1 legendary team, Ferrari which is struggling for points this season with the absence of Fellipe Massa, has chosen its drivers for the 2010 Formula 1 Season. Ferrari president Domenicali didn't role out Massa making a return to the cockpit for the final race of 2009 in Abu Dhabi. So it's going to be either Kimi Raikkonnen or Giancarlo Fisichella, who is going to lose their seat.

And guess who is going to step in? It's Renault's Fernando Alonso. Ferrari has inked a whooping $40 Million deal for the two-time World Champion. Fisichella will be Ferrari's Test Driver. So what about Kimi?


Well, it has been smelled that both Mclaren and Brawn are interested in "The Ice Man". Mclaren which had a long relationship with Kimi, looks the most likely because it appears that Santander has been involved in the funding of the transfer, by settling Raikkonen's final year salary at Ferrari and they will have a sponsor presence on the McLaren during the 2010 season, so they stand to get some return on their investment which they would not do if he went to Brawn.
So its going to be like this the next season:

Fellipe Massa & Fernando Alonso
Vs
Lewis Hamilton & Kimi Raikkonnen

The World’s Tallest Man


Bao Xishun, has no regrets for losing his guinness world record. Few days back, The Guinness Book of World Records has certified that 27-year-old Sultan Kosen from Turkey is the world’s tallest man. Sultan Kosen is eight feet and one inch tall!!! What does Kosen want to do with his new fame? Here is Mr. Tall's cool reply,

“The first thing I want to do is have a car that I can fit in, but more than that I want to get married,” he said.

“Up until now it’s been really difficult to find a girlfriend. I’ve never had one, they were usually scared of me. I’m hoping now I will find one.”

He went on: “Hopefully now that I’m famous I’ll be able to meet lots of girls. I’d like to get married.”

All the best Sultan Kosen :)...... U wil find your Girl & Car Soon!!! :).........

Harley Davidson bikes in India


Almost two decades ago the American government banned the sale of Indian mangoes in the US, on account of the 'excess pesticides' Indian farmers use.

But since the ban has now been lifted, and Indian mangoes are now readily exported to the US, India in return has reversed the ban on importing two wheelers that are more than 800cc to the Indian market. So that means the monstrous engines of the Harley Davidson are ready to storm to India.

On Thursday the official website of Harley Davidson announced that its cruiser motorbikes will arrive in the fast-emerging and promising Indian market, however no word yet on how much the bikes will cost in India. Our guess is that they will be priced upwards of Rs 15 lakhs, especially since the lowest end Harley in the US costs about $12,000. Although to gain a profit, the Indian goevernment is forced to impose excise duties on 800cc+ motorcycles. Japanese bike giant Yamaha also had a tough time launching the saucy YZF-R1 and the MT-01 in India as it had to overcome the import trade policy. Honda and Suzuki also have made their foray by bringing some of their international bikes to India.

The Harley Davidson range of bikes remain to be the most popular cruiser bikes in the world and the deep pocketed Indian junta will be more than happy to snap up a Harley or two. Check back this space for more on the Harley Davidson bikes in India.

Most Expensive Home In The World


Name : Updown Court
Cost : $139 million (£75 million)
Place : Windlesham, England

Thanks to shifting exchange rates, Updown Court is still, it appears, the most expensive home in the world. And no wonder: The unlived-in mansion encompasses 103 rooms, five swimming pools and its own 50-seat screening room. The property oozes opulence, from the 24-carat-gold leafing on the library floor to the heated marble driveway. With your own squash court, bowling alley and tennis court, you may never need to leave-except to visit the queen at nearby Windsor Castle. It is listed with Hamptons International and Savills
