The retail price of RON 97 petrol is now RM2.70 per litre, with the 20 sen drop from the existing RM2.90 per litre coming about yesterday. The pump price of RON 97 was last revised on March 6 this year, when it was increased by 20 sen from the RM2.70 per litre previously. Rumours abounded about a potential increase a few days after GE13, but a check at the pump in the wee hours of the morning revealed that everything was status quo. No change whatsoever to RON 95 petrol and diesel prices, which is subsidised by a government allowance. Unlike the regulated and subsidised RM1.90 per litre RON 95, the pricing of RON 97 works on a managed float, with pricing determined according to market forces.

Filed under: Coupe, Performance, Videos, Audi, Nissan The team over at Motor Trend has pitted the new Audi R8 V10 Plus against the Nissan GT-R. While both of the bright red all-wheel-drive supercars are comparably matched in power output, the similarities end there. Audi offers a mid-engine aluminum coupe with a naturally aspirated V10 that spits out 550 horsepower. Nissan shows up with a more traditional coupe equipped with a 545-horsepower twin-turbocharged V6 at the front of the car. The Head-to-Head video takes both cars to the Streets of Willow Springs in the California desert for some track work with professional racing driver Randy Pobst behind the wheel. After a day at the track, the pair head to the local mountains for some spirited real-world driving. One dominates on the circuit, while the other earns back its credibility in the canyons. We won't tell you which coupe comes out on top, but we think you may be surprised.

Was just watching Wheeler Dealers hearing about Edd dealing with the fiddly bits and saw a commercial for this Sunday's new episode of Overhaulin'. They are talking about Jay Leno being on and the overhaul is his driver's car (I remember they did his mechanic's car a few years ago). Wasn't really paying attention. Overhaulin' is enjoyable but it's always muscle cars which aren't my bag... Except this one. Look up and the car they are doing? A '72 Lotus Europa! Leno (who is a car god) and Lotus? Count me in! I hope Foose does it tastefully and doesn't put ridiculous muscle car style Foose mags on it (and hopefully keeps it with Minilites). Looks like it's a two part episode. Set your DVRs.

Hey guys. So I've been working on this for a while now, slowly chipping away at creating something as complete as possible as well as show off exactly what RR is truly capable of. I really liked the new cadillac cue system, and so decided to take what I've learned over the past few years reading this forum and attempt to build a RR skin for it. I want to thank everyone on the forum here who's helped answer questions, because without your support, this would have never got off the ground. It's far from complete, but as work has eaten away more and more of my free time lately, I have no idea when it will be done....and in all honesty, one thing I've learned from this site- it's never "complete". I'm sure many of you agree that we spend countless hours tweaking, adjusting and creating skins to suit our tastes and mood, only to find ourselves still looking to do more. Here's an outline of the skin including some screenshots, features and a list of things still being worked on: List of plugins used: Mobilephone.net (not complete/working yet) Ride runner fusion Disclaimer: As I've taken a long time to develop this, I've programmed things across multiple versions of RR as well as multiple versions of certain plugins, thus, I'm not sure how well things will work from system to system. This is intended for you guys to experiment with and customize to your liking, and is recommended for users familiar with the RR code and the plugins I've used with this skin. Attached Images
