Jack Rickard has created what arguably is a more beautiful electric sports car than the press darling, the Tesla. This is a Beck 356 Speedster (replica Porsche 356) mated to a Netgain Warp 9 DC series electric motor.

On Jack’s website (http://www.evtv.me) is an incredibly detailed discussion on electric car conversion including the first project,  the Beck Speedster and a second more comprehensive project, a 2009 Mini Clubman Sport.

You can actually purchase the Speedster on ebay currently.

You can see Jack’s Youtube Channel here.

Pamela Anderson and some other dude I never heard of held a press conference for this week’s fashion week in Auckland. Pamela was dressed in what looks like a beach towel from the Auckland Airport Ramada Inn. She played heavily on her PETA and green street cred. It sounded if she was sucking up to Kiwi Immigration Dept looking for a resident visa. Canadians are generally very welcome, people like Sarah Mclaughlin, heck Shania Twain has set up shop in Queenstown/Wanaka. However I think Australia is probably more her taste, I will even put in a good word to Aussie chief Kev Rudd for her.

You can read more of her exploits in Auckland here.

New Zealand has returned to using titular honours rather than investitures that were introduced in 1996. This means the return of the titles of Knight and Dame Grand Companion (GNZM) and Knight and Dame Companion (KNZM/DNZM).

This has resulted in 72 people gaining the title of Sir or Dame including medium distance runner Sir Peter Snell, All Black Colin Mead and former Prime Minister Dame Jenny Shipley.
