1969 Dodge Dom's Daytona Charger

A custom machine driven by Dominic Torreto, played by Vin Diesel, from the movie, Fast and Furious 6, the sixth installment of The Fast and the Furious franchise. During the production of the film, the producers tweaked a 1969 Dodge Daytona Charger that cost them $5,000 when bought used so what they gonna do with this car is by pared down, sandblasted and rebuilt. It's still one of the good guys' car if you are joining alongside Dom and Brian in an effort to foil Owen Shaw's plans.

2013 Nissan Brian's GT-R

A specially-prepped Nissan R35 GT-R driven by Brian O'Connor, played by Paul Walker, from the movie, Fast and Furious 6, the sixth installment of The Fast and the Furious franchise. One of the best hero cars in FF6 were made courtesy of R's Tuning and formally known as the BenSopra GT-R. With this BenSopra body kit developed specifically for this car, the people behind Brian's GT-R had redesigned the entire factory cooling system to endure each lap session. Later on, SP Engineering provided the tuning program required before any vehicle testing begins.

1974 Ford Brian's Escort Mk1

What started in life as a beautiful rally-born 1974 Ford Escort Mk1 but in Fast and Furious 6, this customized machine driven by Brian O'Connor, played by Paul Walker, is just one of the finest hero cars a former cop turned criminal would ever want to drive if you are on the route to stop Shaw and his ragtag group of bandits. This Escort Mk1 is just one of the Escort rally cars that our English crew built.

This car has been around for three years since its debut in June 2010, with the addition of hybrid and T-GDi a year after, but for 2014 model year, The New K5 is looking pretty fresh now with new LED foglamps, revised front, revised rear lights, new interior, and the addition of Flex Steer.

Specs remain scarce for now but some say it will have either a non-turbo 2.0L or a 2.0L Turbo GDi included on the 2014 Kia K5. Look for it this June 13, okay? Here's a pre-launch ad...

Let's Do The News! (June 2, 2013)

(cheers and applause)

RH: Uh...any particular reason why would you like the old CLK more than this?

JC: Well, probably because it can do things that the E-Class Coupe can't and most of all, has an AMG version that this one doesn't.

(audience laughing)

JC: Look, one particular reason why Mercedes-Benz didn't add an AMG version for the E-Class Coupe is when during its decision phase, the folks of Mercedes-Benz are deciding what to do on the current E-Class and then, AMG had a different approach, saying that the sedan version of the E-Class is (QUOTE) "the perfect car to be an AMG", so it's a long story.

RH: So, you're saying that the sedan version of the E-Class is the perfect car to be an AMG, why is this?

JC: Beats me. Good thing, they confessed that not adding an AMG version to the E-Class coupe was a big mistake and it's going to be resolved on the next model so in the meantime, I'd would rather stick to the CLK63 Black or for the better...a C63 AMG Black...

(audience laughing)

JC: It's more powerful, you know... Anyway, let's do the news!

JM: Indeed, the news folks, and BIG NEWS because we just heard that Doctor Who's Matt Smith will be retiring his role this Christmas 2013.

(awwww)

JC: Retiring? Matt Smith is retiring his Doctor Who role? He's retiring his BEST JOB in science-fiction history? I don't get it. We had him around for three years since The Eleventh Hour, which was Matt Smith's maiden voyage as the Eleventh Doctor in 2010 and he's the man who propelled Doctor Who as the flagship of BBC with thanks to current showrunner Steven Moffat. Hmmm....Steven F***ing Moffat. What a f***ing liberty...

(audience laughing)

JM: Anyway, the thing is about Mr. Matt Smith is he was voted Best Actor by Readers of Doctor Who Magazine for the 2010 season, he won Most Popular Male Drama Performance award in 2012 NTA, the first actor to to be nominated for a BAFTA in the role, one who revolutionizes bowties and fezzes as cool stuff, the man who yelled "GERONIMO" in the show, and starred alongside different partners such as Amy Pond (Karen Gillan), Rory Williams (Arthur Darvill) and most recently Clara Oswald (Jenna Coleman). Gosh... I really don't know where to start when Mr. Smith's tenure is up...

JC: Yeah, me too. And having Matt Smith retiring his Doctor Who role is just like Benedict XVI retiring his role as the Pope. Question is, who's going to replace Matt Smith for next year?

JM: Well, you know that current Pope Francis? He's a Latino and he's the one that broke the barriers as the first Latino Pope in Vatican history. Do you think there's going to be a Latin Doctor?

(audience laughing)

JC: A Latino playing The Doctor? Well, possibly but there is a main theory about how actors getting the role as Doctor Who. Think of it like..."conclave". A "conclave" for the actors willing to become Doctor Who. When there's black smoke...it's still undecided but when it's white...

JM: There's a new Doctor coming...

(audience laughing)

JM: Yeah...enough about the "conclave" stuff but oh...that reminds me...do you think that mystery man's going to be next?

JC: Who?

JM: Some mystery man who appeared at the Series 7 finale of Doctor Who titled "The Name of The Doctor".  Do you think he could be...IT?

(audience laughing)

JC: I don't know man but it's still a mystery so in the meantime...SPOILERS.

(audience laughing)

JC: Still, no matter the outcome, Doctor Who or no longer, it's still Matt Smith. We had high hopes for his life after Doctor Who and we also wait for the one where Matt Smith directed at...It's called "How To Catch a Monster". We're looking forward for Matt Smith, even life after Doctor Who.

(cheers and applause)

(♫ "EVERYTHING'S BETTER WITH PERRY" plays ♫)

JC: What the?

RH: Oh, sorry. Text message...

(audience laughing)

JC: Anyway, tomorrow, most Filipinos are going to school either fully prepared or empty handed for now and the thing about first day of SY 2013-2014 is, how come students all over the nation after spending a two-month vacation are going to survive this new school year? I mean, there's some meeting of friends and enemies new and old alike, new subjects to learn, the K to 12 stuff, even more aggressive teachers, graded recitations, monthly and quarterly exams, Ibong Adarna, El Filibusterismo, so on, so forth, that's school life! How can students new and old alike can survive a new year of schooling?

JM: I don't know man. Maybe those changes were just one thing to make this school year a bit more complicating than the past. But there are some good moments such as competitions, foundation weeks, and the best bit of school year was...field trip.

JC: Field trip?

JM: Yep. It's when the entire school goes out for some adventure time in different places and sometimes they even give them a piece of day-off from school by swimming at some of the best resorts a student knows where. Sometimes, it's getting a bit too PBB teens...

(audience laughing)

JC: PBB Teens?

JM: Yes. Even in school life, there are some moments that are too...PBB Teens...

(audience laughing)

JM: Think of it like, for instance, you're in a costume party as...Finn. Then, all of your friends are dressing as their favorite Adventure Time characters such as PB (Princess Bubblegum), Marceline, Ice King, Lumpy, BMO, or Jake. When you guys get together...what do you call?

JC: Oh wait...PBB Teens?

(audience laughing)

RH: Uh, guys...Can you please enough of these PBB Teens nonsense! Can we please move on?!

JC: Okay. Sorry about that...(whispering) This is getting too PBB Teens...

(audience laughing)

JC: Anyway, there's a new game coming from Namco Bandai and it's available in the PS3 and PS Vita gaming console. It's called Super Heroine Chronicle and think of it like um...just like all the other crossover RPG games like Heroes Phantasia and Project X Zone. For this crossover RPG, heroines from several franchises join forces to save the world, ranging from Di Gi Charat, Koto from Kyousogiga, Red Angel and Blue Angel from Twin Angel, Super Sonico, Rena Ryugu from Higurashi (When They Cry), Hibiki Tachibana from Symphogear, Aria H. Kanzaki from Aria: The Scarlet Ammo, Houki Shinonono from IS, Louise from The Familiar of Zero, and Rem Ayanokouji from Dream Hunter Rem. Here's the clip that sums up...



(cheers and applause)

RH: Wow! Another mashup of the best anime heroines in one game since the other mashup RPG games like Namco X Capcom, Heroes Phantasia, and Project X Zone. Can't get any better than this!

JC: Agreed, Hammond! And that's the news!

JM: Yeah and before we end the news, since Hammond got his ringtone set to Everything's Better With Perry, do you think this is the best Phineas and Ferb song of all time? Or what about I'm Me? Do you think this is better? Log on to http://disneychannel.disney.com/phineas-and-ferb and look for the VOTE link where you'll be decide which of your favorite P&F song will be the best and tune in on Disney Channel this June 28 and let special guest Kelly Osbourne counting down the best P and F songs in order.

Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe and Cabriolet Minor Change

2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe and Cabriolet

Along with the sedan and estate, the coupe versions and cabriolet versions of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class W212 were given a minor change as well. Although it is essentially a minor change for these two-door brothers thanks to its new schnoz, it feels like it has nothing in common with the sedan and tourer equivalents because...well, let's find out...

First of all, it's still not as sporty to drive as the sedan and tourer equivalents even though two-doors is enough to call it a driver-focused model of the E-Class family. Think about it, folks. Even though the Coupe and Cabriolet E-Class models are more than enough to satisfy an unnecessary selfie, it's not quite qualified to be more of a thoroughbred rather than being a sophisticated two-door saloon car for the privileged few who are always self-centered. Alpha males just don't get it because even though the E-Class Coupe and Cabriolet were made just for them, they would rather go for the old-fashioned CLK instead because...well, you know why.

Anyway, while these two are not classified to be called "sports cars", both the new E-Class Coupe and Cabriolet models are designed to be more of an "everyday car" because if you were the sort of selfie who takes them out for a stroll in, well, let's just say EDSA or Quezon City, or Bonifacio Global City, these cars were made to be head-turners because when every time there's someone saw you around driving one of those, you'd be rather be mistaken for a high-profile celebrity going out for a dinner with a special someone that you can't tell to anyone.

Of course, rather than being a head-turner, it's a comfortable car as well. It's like you're making a bland mushroom soup from a can very exciting to eat by putting some milk and some tuna. I like it. I made that meal myself, though. Anyway, while it has the feeling of sipping your freshly cooked meal, there is a bit of a problem about these; they're not quite exciting to drive those either, even when you take these on one of the world's best driving roads. It feels like that you went to the best rollercoaster in town and 5 seconds later, it's over. It's not quite an Enchanted Kingdom-level of excitement but rather...a Pixie Forest-level of excitement. Oh, and if you don't know what a Pixie Forest was, it's on the Festival Supermall. Those who find it boring don't go there and instead go to X-Site. It's more fun though.

2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe and Cabriolet interior

Engine ranges include a 2.0L turbo petrol engine, 3.0L V6 turbo petrol engine, a 2.1L diesel engine, and a 3.0L V6 diesel engine may seem to be rather fine but it seems that none of those engine types that tickles your fancy. Even with the most powerful engine in the lineup which produces 333hp of power and an electronically limited top speed of 155mph, it feels a bit Jon Tickle than a tickle machine and even if you're acting like a Brainiac like what speedo boys do, it's not quite more exciting even though it's short on power compared to its AMG-badged predecessor, the old CLK which was built until 2009. Boo...

Like the four-door equivalents, both the E-Class Coupe and Cabriolet also comes with host of safety features, most that will be appeared on the next S-Class, such as  PRE-SAFE PLUS, ATTENTION ASSIST driver drowsiness monitor, Driver Assistance Package with DISTRONIC PLUS adaptive cruise control with Steering Assist and PRE-SAFE Brake, plus Active Blind Spot Assist and Active Lane Keeping Assist, and PARKTRONIC with enhanced Active Parking Assist. Not only this car is more of an everyday car, it's safer as well because thanks to all of these features, this car cares about the driver more than the car itself. Hmmm...

Meh...I'd rather not sold to this new model anyway. With times like this, best to go back to the old CLK instead because not only it's more exciting to drive than the new E-Class Coupe and Cabriolet, it has the hotter version that these two...isn't. Fat chance, kid. Fat chance...
