Nissan Qashqai Cargames Videos put Tony Hawk to shame

Nissan found a kick ass way to promote its 2007 Qashqai crossover through an extreme sports concept in a series of radical videos. Cars are portrayed flying up full and half pipe skate ramps showing us some neat tricks and a better look at what a passenger had for lunch... although we could have done with out that part!

Nissan attempts to convey the message that like skateboarding and other extreme sports, driving a Qashqai is a lifestyle, not a luxury activity.

SCOOP: 2007 Ford Mondeo factory pics

We've already seen how the 2007 Ford Mondeo will look like -hey we've even seen the car in live action through the James Bond - Casino Royal movie trailer, but I'm sure this is something that white collar Ford workers wouldn't want us to see: the production version of the 2007 Mondeo Ford's factory in Genk Belgium. For obvious reasons, we put a black patch on the Ford worker that's giving us a thumb up...

Hacked Park Sign tell drivers where to go...

Well this certainly would make your morning commute more entertaining. Residents of a small town in the U.K called Crowley were greeted happily by a "F... off" council car park sign, but oddly enough, hardly anyone noticed.

These digital signs normally indicate how many spaces are free in each of the town's car parks but were defaced by a hacker. The hacker broke into the system at around 6.45am, substituting the rude message and a tag promoting the US totse.com forum. The messages were on display for more than two hours before council officers told the system maintenance company to remove them!

According to Ananova.com, Council spokesman Allan Hambly said: "We have no idea why Crawley was picked on. Only two members of the public reported it -I even drove past one of the signs myself without noticing it"
