LONGTAILS have been the low cost alternative to thousands of boaters in the Far East for years. They are used by commercial fisherman and hunters and are well known for travel in shallow, and muddy waters.
More recently, American duck hunters have discovered they are ideal for powering LAYOUT & SNEAK BOATS into shallow areas, and they leave a low overall profile.
The Chinese have developed huge commercial tourist attractions as these simple motors have been strapped to the ancient style bamboo river rafts, fitted with seating so folks can enjoy the sights of the many rivers as the wind through the countryside. These rafts have now evolved and plastic sewer pipes are used to make the rafts, making a cheap and reliable mode of transport.

MINI Clubman Bond Street: It’s another MINI Special Edition
Thu, 24 Jan 2013The MINI Clubman Bond Street, named after London’s Bond Street Shopping district, has been revealed ahead of a Geneva 2013 debut. As has been MINI’s strategy for a while, all MINI Special Editions are named after London districts, this time one of London’s shopping areas – Bond Street – and nothing to do with James Bond (much as MINI might have liked to find a 007 connection). The MINI Clubman Bond Street gets the usual special edition fare of custom paint job – this time Midnight Black with Cool Champagne highlights – a set of stripes, black twin-spoke alloys with Champagne centres and ‘Bond Street’ on the side indicator surrounds and sills.
2012 Saab 9-5 SportCombi: More photos +video
Thu, 24 Feb 2011Saab 9-5 SportCombi - Debuts at Geneva It’s good to see Saab suddenly bursting in to life. We’re sure Saab don’t see it that way, having no doubt slaved away for the last year to get business back to some sense of normality after the GM sale debacle, but from outside that’s how it seems. Still, the flurry of activity heading in to Geneva is good to see.
Why the Honda Ridgeline pickup is driving off into the sunset
Fri, 09 Sep 2011The Honda Ridgeline is a good example of what happens when an automaker abandons a model. After much fanfare with its introduction in 2005, little was done to upgrade the mid-sized pickup. Ridgeline's plummeting sales are no surprise considering the lack of sheet metal changes and significant engineering improvements over the seven-year period.
