How many times you’ve heard of a couple breaking up only because of sexual problems and misunderstanding. Psychologists, who work with couples, claim that the focal point in the majority of relationships is sex. Many times one of the partners wants one kind of stimulation and the other partner is reluctant to do it, which is not the case of adult sex toys. Adult toys will do whatever you want. Just whistle.

Let’s take the most common and frequent example - anal sex - which, we must assume is an issue of contradiction for many couples. In order to make things clear from the very beginning, I would like to specify that I’m talking about anal sex performed by a female on her male partner. It is not a big secret that the majority of women are not very keen of performing anal sex, or any other “anal activities” in general, on their boyfriends. On the other hand, we have male partners who, influenced by their “dirty dreams” and inspired by porn movies, want, at least, to try what anal sex feels like. What should we do in such dilemmas? Yes, you know the answer girls and boys - adult toys.

There are plenty of adult sex toys, available in adult stores, by means of which you can start exploring the pleasure of anal sex. It can be either a slender vibrator, which is just a perfect anal sex toy for those who have just made up their minds to try anal stimulation, or it can be a butt plug or a bunch of anal beads, for males who already know what it feels like but want to proceed with the experimentation, or the experienced players can select something they find more appropriate from the vast range of dildo toys.

India’s Tata-owned Jaguar Land Rover is making some significant upgrades for the upcoming 2011 Range Rover model, particularly its diesel variant. The market can expect at least two core improvements - a re-engineered diesel engine and a new 8-speed automatic gearbox mated to it. You can find cheaper Land Rover parts at McDonald Land Rover.

Enhancing the Diesel Engine

The luxury SUV markets have always known the Range Rover SUV to have petrol and diesel models. The revered 3.6 litre eight cylinder diesel engine that started the Range Rover line has undergone earlier enhancements. For more affordable Range Rover servicing you should take a look at McDonald Land Rover. It is to become a heavily improved and more powerful 3-litre V6 diesel adopted from the current Range Rover Sport and Land Rover Discovery models.

They have also powered the new Jaguar XJ and XF models with significantly better fuel efficiency and improved CO2 emissions. Now, the Tata Motors has tinkered with the V8 anew to maker it even more powerful than the V6. Read More »

The Renault DeZir concept is the first Renault Design project led by Laurens van den Acker. When it’s officially unveiled at the Paris Motor Show in October it will lay a marker down for the brand’s future design direction.

The 4225mm long two-seat sports coupe embodies Renault’s new vision of ’simple’, ’sensuous’ and ‘warm’ designs. Its form language develops the fluid themes seen in previous Renault concepts but with a greater emphasis on surface than line. “My early inspiration stemmed from the liquid sensation, wave-like movement and contrasts in light associated with certain rippled surfaces,” says Yann Jarsalle, lead exterior designer.

Perforated surfaces, rather than hard-edged boundaries, define the head lamp graphic and reappear on the rear deck and rear fender air intakes. Its Audi R8-esque metallic side blade is used to illustrate the aluminum-bodied DeZir’s low weight of 830kg. Read More »

Land Rover revealed the Evoque at an exclusive celebrity-studded event at Kensington Palace in London last week, ahead of the car’s official unveiling at the forthcoming Paris motor show. Billed as a Range Rover (and not a Land Rover), the small SUV marks the 40th Anniversary of the original Range Rover and symbolizes the company’s move towards developing more lightweight and frugal vehicles.

Virtually identical to the LRX concept revealed at the 2008 Detroit auto show, the Evoque is the first all-new Land Rover product designed under Gerry McGovern’s stewardship. “Things that are smaller can take on more of a jewel-like effect, and that’s very much been the mindset of this vehicle,” McGovern said at the unveiling.

It would appear that Audi isn’t willing to just stand by while Mini prepares to dominate the small premium crossover segment with its new Countryman. To combat this threat Audi is reportedly working on an Allroad version of the A1.

The A1 three-door hatchback goes on sale later this year with a five-door scheduled to arrive in 2011. A higher-riding crossover variant could make an appearance by 2013 and follow in the path of previous Audi Allroad editions with bigger wheel arches, larger wheel and tyre packages and possibly even all-wheel drive. A quattro variant hasn’t been confirmed yet, but it would seem likely considering Audi’s commitment to quattro and VW already developing an all-wheel drive variant of the Volkswagen CrossPolo which shares its platform with the small Audi.

The Harley-Davidson Wide Glide is new for 2010 and it is entirely reduced to a big V-Twin engine around which they’ve contoured the old-school chopper style. Inspired by its glorious past and looking towards the future, this Dyna model is a low, stretched-out custom with drag bars and forward foot controls that give its rider a real fists-in-the-wind profile. Also, the LED stop/turn/tail light combo and side-mounted license plate keep the chopped rear fender clean; so clean that no rebel out there will ignore it.

The 2010 Wide Glide is a new Harley-Davidson Dyna® model done up old-school chopper style – a low, stretched-out custom with forward foot controls that give its rider a real fists-in-the-wind profile. Its name-sake wide front end, black-wire sissy bar and available orange-to-yellow fade flames paint scheme might be hits from the bike-builder archives, but the LED stop/turn/tail light combo is new technology that keeps its chopped rear fender clean and uncluttered. The new Wide Glide is also priced to be a great value – call it affordable attitude.

The Wide Glide motorcycle is powered by a rubber-mounted Twin Cam 96™ V-Twin powertrain with Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI) that produces 92 ft. lbs. of peak torque at 3000 rpm. The engine is finished in black powdercoat with bright machined highlights on the cylinder fins and chrome-plated rocker and derby covers. The 6-Speed Cruise Drive® transmission features a new helical-cut fifth gear for smooth operation. Distinctive Dyna Wide Glide styling cues include an under-seat battery box, exposed rear shock absorbers, and a 4.7-gallon fuel tank with the speedometer mounted in the console. Read More »

The Honda CR-Z has been a long time coming. Although the concept debuted in 2007, as a project it’s been kicking around Honda for over 10 years. Since the first Insight was launched in 1999, there have been numerous stop-start projects to produce a hybrid successor to the much-loved CR-X coupe. So when Honda invited us to drive their latest hybrid offering, it was too good an opportunity to pass up.

I should admit to having two vested interests here: firstly as a former CR-X owner back in the 1980’s and secondly as a Honda designer for a decade in the 1990’s. We were forever proposing CR-X updates then and I must have worked on at least three replacement projects, so I’m not totally impartial on this one.

The CR-X reborn
When the first generation CR-X was launched in 1983, it was a unique proposition: a hi-tech baby coupe with twin roles as an entry car for college kids in the US and a sportier hot hatch for other markets. The second-generation CR-X offered much more powerful and advanced VTEC engines and full 2+2 seating, while the third-generation ‘Del Sol’ model took a different turn with its odd two-seat targa styling and complicated stow-in-the-trunk roof.

In many ways the CR-Z is a straightforward update of the original concept: a very advanced low-slung coupe with modest power, in this case supplemented by an electric motor. Read More »

Revealed at the Chicago Auto Show earlier this year, this is the first time we had a chance to see the Odyssey concept in the metal. A departure from the current model, the concept informs the next generation Odyssey due in Fall 2011.

While the current model was created by Honda’s design team in Japan, the concept was designed by Catalin Matey under the direction of Dave Marek at Honda’s California design studio in Los Angeles.

The Odyssey concept embodies a cleaner aesthetic that is sleeker and more dynamic, thanks in part to slimmer headlamps and a rising featureline. But the most novel feature is its dramatic beltline that drops down aft of the C-pillar, accentuating the dynamic DLO. This element serves to distinguish the minivan’s profile while simultaneously improving rearward visibility for third row passengers, Honda says. Read More »

Toyota FT-CH concept

Toyota chose the Detroit auto show to unveil the FT-CH concept, a compact four-passenger vehicle that was created in response to customer and dealer demand for a greater variety of hybrid choices. Designed at Toyota’s ED2 design center in Nice, France, FT-CH concept - CH for ‘compact hybrid’ - aims to appeal to a younger target demographic than those in the market for the mid-size Prius.

Measuring 3886mm in length, 1740mm wide and 1397mm tall, the FT-CH is 559mm less in overall length and has a wheelbase that is 152mm shorter than that of the Prius, but it is only 13mm narrower. It is also lighter in weight and is claimed to be more fuel efficient than its larger sibling.

The FT-CH is full of clever design details, such as the recessed lighting in the front bumper, a headlamp graphic that outlines the hood of the vehicle, and a very pronounced shoulderline that accentuates the rear haunch - unusual for a vehicle with such obvious eco-intentions. Read More »

Remember that car which made Richard Hammond delicately whisper that he is, in fact, an automotive deity? It’s now even harder.

This is the Qt Wildcat 300STR - a no-nonsense V8-powered off-roader which has been ‘tamed’ for road-use. By ‘tamed’, we mean potential drivers have been heavily medicated.

The Wildcat - now owned by Qt after they bought the rights from Bowler Offroad - features a fully-welded tubular steel chassis, four-wheel-drive, heavy-duty differentials and suspension nicked from its big brothers. Both of which compete in the Dakar Rally.

Underneath the Army-spec looks sits a 4-litre Jag V8 pushing out enough power to send the Wildcat from 0-62mph in 5.8 seconds which, looking at it, is bonkers.

Qt boss Dave Marsh reckons the 300STR is “equally at home in the City of London as it is in the deserts of North Africa”. So if you genuinely want to frighten the bonus out of a 911-shaped banker, here’s your toy. Read More »
