Welcome Back: 2011 BMW Z4 sDrive35is

This game, Forza Motorsport 4, is the natural home of the quad-cam 84-litre carnivores. From the Murcielago to the Raptor, they have them all. They even have keepers to tame them, Forza Motorsport 4 is JURASSIC PARK but no dinosaurs involved and I'm in a middle of a spring watch...

Z34 and E89 doing jurassic practices

The BMW Z4 E89 is the latest incarnation of the Z4. The first generation BMW Z4 was in a form of a soft-top roadster but this second-generation Z4, launched at the 2009 NAIAS in Detroit, is now a hard-top roadster. It was built in Regensburg, Bavaria, Germany.

Unlike the old Z4, it is 148mm longer, 9mm wider, 2.5mm in wheelbase and it's 150 to 235kg heavier. The retractable hardtop can be folded up or down in 20 seconds.

The Z4 sDrive 35i has a new 7-speed double-clutch transmission. Models like the 23i and the 30i comes with a six-speed AT with Steptronic. Most models have 6MT standard.

Seen here is the sDrive35is model of the Z4 E89, it has a twin-turbocharged N54B30 engine that produces 340PS of power and 450Nm of torque. It comes with an M Sports Package including M Aerodynamics Package and adaptive M Suspension featuring electronically controlled dampers.

Jeremy Clarkson reviewed the BMW Z4 E89 on Top Gear alongside the Nissan 370Z (Fairlady Z Z34). With The Stig, it set a lap time of 1.28.2, slower than the Nissan Z34.

It was featured on Richard Hammond's Top Gear Uncovered DVD as part of a lesson on how to make a Top Gear Road Test. It even have a drag race against a jet-powered RC toy car and the Z4 won against the RC toy car, which ended up exploded the Vauxhall Omega, the Top Gear training car.

Welcome Back: 2008 Ferrari 430 Scuderia

Scud Rocking good times...

This is Ferrari's answer to the Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera. It's called the Ferrari 430 Scuderia.

Ferrari's 430 Scuderia is a hardcore lightweight version of the Ferrari F430. It was revealed by Michael Schumacher at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show and it was made to compete against lightweight versions such, even the Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera. It lost 100kg of weight and the V8 engine now produces 515PS of power. The Scuderia comes with a semi-automatic transmission called Superfast2 that has faster shift time of 60 milliseconds. 0-60mph in 3.6 seconds and it has a top speed of 198mph.

Jeremy Clarkson reviewed this in one episode of Top Gear and thanks to The Stig, the Scuderia set a lap time of 1:19.7, faster than the SLR McLaren.

In Clarkson's DVD, Thriller, the Scuderia is faster than the Gallardo Superleggera round the Snetterton Track courtesy of The Stig, who was very angry when Jeremy Clarkson blew him up in a dynamite powered Mercedes.

This car is listed as a unicorn car. How do you get it? I'm afraid you have to find out to yourself....

Welcome Back: 2009 Ford Focus RS

Sadly, we don't have to hear any more of that because we have to head back playing Forza Motorsport 4. And this...

Sure, the McLaren can kick the Focus RS's but on the track
but what about on a public road?!

It's a 2009 Ford Focus RS. It has a 2.5L turbocharged 5-cylinder engine that produces three times more than what you got from the old VW Rabbit GTi. You can't just send 300HP to the front because it might come off but Focus RS has a special suspension feature called "Revo-Knuckles". How does Revo-Knuckles work? Set aside, call James May and serve some tea because...just like Jeremy Clarkson, I don't know how does Revo-Knuckles feel like on the 2009 Ford Focus RS.

Whatever. The Revo-Knuckles allows the 2009 Ford Focus RS to handle the bends and sling shot its way down the next straight although it's been powered by ammo-nitrate. There are some people say that there are so many opponents that can match the RS’s competence on track or its fun-to-drive factor. I may have said that once but is it true?

Contrary, that car appeared in one episode of Top Gear against the Renault Megane R26.R, a stripped-up version of the Renault Megane which Forza 4 doesn't have one. The Focus RS lapped the Top Gear test track in 1.29.3 but it was beaten by the Renault Megane R26.R's 1.28.1 lap time.

Then, this car was featured on Jeremy Clarkson's DVD, Duel. He had a race against The Stig and the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Spyder round the Ascari Race Resort and then the Focus RS lost by a mega huge margin. Not only that, gets worse. The Focus RS lost the race from Ascari Race Resort to a bar in Puerto Banus.

Despite that, the 2009 Ford Focus RS is a brilliant hot hatch but that's all it is...

We gonna be killed and eaten by Bradley fans!

What are we gonna do? What are we gonna do? We gonna be killed and eaten by Timothy Bradley fans!

(audience laughing)

I should explain that those scores proven that Manny Pacquiao did better than Timothy Bradley but...

...but those split decisions and judging are something a bit controversial. It was proven that Timothy Bradley exterminated Manny Pacquiao like the Daleks!

Absolutely. It's like VICTORY OF THE DALEKS!

(audience laughing)

Yes. It's kinda more of a metaphor but sure. It's like Pacman got exterminated by the Daleks!

(audience laughing)

Exactly. So if you're reading this, Jinkee Pacquiao, okay, wife of Manny Pacman Pacquiao, and kids. It wasn't our fault why Pacman got exterminated by Bradley. And now gentlemen, if I might make a suggestion...RUN!

RUN!

Let's go! See yah! Good bye everyone!

Mercedes S600 tuned into Lorinser S70 V12 BiTurbo

Lorinser S70 V12

Lorinser S70 V12

Lorinser S70 V12

Of course, it started out in life as a Mercedes-Benz S600, the one with the V12 engine on it, but then it has been fully injected with some steroids on it. What this is, is a Lorinser S70 V12 BiTurbo.

With some VIP STYLE looks, luxurious interior, and a beefed up V12 engine that produces a massive 805PS of power via huge turbos equipped, this tuned luxury saloon has the speed of a supercar. Yes, it now has an entry to the supercar club because it has a top speed of 205mph if the limiter is off.

Massive, right? This will leave them jealous to see one...

ITC280 Update 10

What I learned in Week 10 of the ITC280 Class:

1) Here is how we create a session variable in PHP

if(!isset($_SESSION)){session_start();}


$sCustomerID = trim($row['CustomerID']); //Grab the Customer's unique ID, from a database


$_SESSION["sCustomerID"] = $sCustomerID; //Enter variable into session variable


2) We can clear a session by calling:
session_destroy();


3) To clear the data before destroying a session; insert an empty array:
$_SESSION = array();//copy empty array in case of failure!


4) We can silence notices and warnings by placing this code on our file
error_reporting(E_ERROR | E_PARSE); //only major problems

5) We can check the contents of the session and if the session is not set, we can send the user to a login page

if(!isset($_SESSION)){session_start();}
if(!isset($_SESSION['sCustomerID']))
{ //no session var
     myRedirect("login.php?msg=5"); //send user back to login page, as session has timed out
}

6) To find and upload setting, view the PHP info command results and search for the string via the browser. For example;

upload_max_filesize


7) To be able to upload a file, we need to use the enctype attribute in our form.

<form action="upload_test.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">


8) We use the file attribute of the input element to allow a file upload.
Please select an image to test upload: <input type="file" name="image" />

NOTES:
Seriously, did I finished the final project? My teacher said that this assignment served as the last part of my final project. I really don't know why. I haven't made a project before, but let's face it. I should accept the fact that my teacher said I already finished my final project. As I recall, my teacher said that Assignments 8 to 12 served as part of the final project. Really? If I said yes, then it is. That means I done it. Question is, should I come to class on Monday and Wednesday? I should remember that next week is the last week of the Spring 2012 semester.

Never mind, I'll find out by myself.

That is all.
