Three recalls from Triumph

The time tested motorcycle company, Triumph, has witnessed a losing streak in this period, issuing three recalls for its products.

Two of the recalls involve the Speed Triple bike, while the third is addressed to the Daytona 675.

Reports indicate that 61 units of the Daytona 675 have an issue with the throttle cable guide that went missing on the assembly line. This problem might make the throttle work improperly, witnessing faulty opening or closing. So if you own one of the affected motorcycles, the guide will be installed for free, and if the throttle cable was damaged, a new one will take its place.

House erected around a Ferrari 512 BBi

Some cars are so rare and expensive, you just can’t really risk driving them. Even keeping them in a garage might seem abusive, so the best solution is to bring them in the house with you, where you can keep an eye on them.

To do this, you can either take the car apart, and re-assemble it inside, but that is the least desirable option. Most would choose to cut a hole in the wall, bring the car in and then repair the wall.

But there are a certain few that have the know-how, money and ambition to actually build the house around the car. This is exactly what architect Holger Schubert did for his Ferrari 512 BBi.

2014 Volkswagen Polo spied without camo

As a vehicle is getting older and less appealing, car makers often use a trick of the trade to keep it in production just a little longer.

They provide a facelift of the model, adding some minor features and modifications without meddling with the underpinnings too much.

The same is the case with the 2014 Volkswagen Polo, which is set to receive such a treatment. And for being out there for about four years, the changes we can witness so far are not that big. From the spy photos taken of the Polo hatchback, we can see just a restyled front bumper and a smaller antenna.

Former Saab executives going to jail

Right now, Saab is for all intents and purposes, dead. The new owner might be trying to revitalize it, but nothing concrete has been brought to table so far.

Yet, for a car maker that doesn’t really make any cars, Saab has a strong presence in the media these days.

One of the reason for the attention is the incarceration of three, yet undisclosed, former Saab executives. The Sweedish prosecutor Olof Sahlgren says that these three individuals are “suspected of aggravated attempts to avoid tax controls”.
