For under £5,000, a Brighton, Uk man, named Adam, purchased a 31 year old double-decker bus from the English city of Birmingham to convert it into a vacation/holiday home for him and his 12 year old daughter, Devin. Adam initially started with a £10,000 budget (which soon did not pan out to be enough) but, after countless hours of work and an extra side job, Adam created something beautiful!

Headlights on 2017 Pickup Trucks Aren’t Looking Too Bright, Literally…
Posted by Poquet Auto on Nov 8, 2016 9:23:36 AM
Even if your new 2017 pickup truck has the fancy, high-cost headlights, you may not be seeing as much as you should.
In a recent test, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety found that almost every new, 2017 pickup truck features headlights that deliver poor light coverage. In fact, only two trims (which are different levels of a particular model) of the Honda Ridgeline (the RTL-E and Black Edition) received the top "Good" rating, while only three other trucks were rated better than "Poor." Those models were the:
- Nissan Titan, which was rated "Marginal."
- GMC Sierra, which was rated "Acceptable" and "Marginal" for some models.
- Ram 1500, which was rated “Marginal” only for models with base halogen reflector headlights.
Even the best-selling vehicle in the United States, the Ford F-150, is rated as "Poor" for all trim levels!
So how do they measure headlight performance?
The IIHS looks both at how much light the high and low beam settings shine in corners and on straightaways. The agency also looks at how much glare the lights produce to ensure that they aren't blinding oncoming traffic.
All-in-all, here's how the 2017 models performed:
BMW Films, They’re Back with, “The Escape.” | Poquet Auto Blog

In 2001, BMW launched BMW Films’ “The Hire,” a series of 8 online short films which starred Clive Owen as an enigmatic driver for hire (similar to “The Transporter” in 2002). Each film had its own unique story, with David Fincher and Ridley and Tony Scott acting as executive producers and a cast featuring Madonna, Gary Oldman, Don Cheadle, Mickey Rourke, F. Murray Abraham, and James Brown. The 8-film series was only available online and was released 4 years before YouTube even hit the web. Fifteen years later, the films have developed a cult following and has lead to a new film, “The Escape.” Watch the trailer below!
