viceblogging
Inspired by Ryan who’s decided to give up biting his nails, I thought I’d re-try. Over the years I’ve tried lots of times and failed lots of times.

Not content with the fabulous Golf night driving, VW have extended the use of the Touareg stunts from the new Matt Damon film, the Bourne Ultimatum with a 3D stunt simulator: create your own stunts, load ’em, see if the people out there rate your stunt as cunning or not (deliberate Kenny Everett -ism thereContinueContinue reading “stuff and things 03.08.07”
