Ferrari issues recall for their 458 Italia model, due to fires!!!
The Ferrari 458 Italia can now be added to the list of other vehicles that have been recently recalled. Showing that recalls can affect the top end brands, Ferrari issued a recall of its new 458 Italia model after several of the vehicles suddenly burst into flames. The cause of the fire appears to be due to a defect in the wheelhouse assembly. A Ferrari spokesperson explained the issue to CNNMoney.com as:
“In rare instances the heat shield could become deformed, bringing it too close to the exhaust system and igniting”.
Five separate fire incidents have occurred in California, Switzerland, China and France. In response to these fires Ferrari is recalling all 458 Italia model vehicles. The 458 Italia model was first delivered to the US this Summer at a starting cost of $230,000. The vehicle boasts a 4.5 liter 8 cylinder engine with a 7 speed automatic transmission delivering over 570 horsepower.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) North American division has been informed by Ferrari that 303 vehicles will be recalled, and the owners may be eligible for reimbursement if they previously paid for repairs associated with the fire issue.
Label Overview
The only label to have designed wedding dresses for both Jackie O. and J. Lo, Valentino is synonymous with opulence, extravagance, and drama. In business since 1960, Valentino Garavani made his mark early with intricately detailed, luxurious gowns and tastefully body-conscious silhouettes—even perfecting his own shade of Valentino Red. The year 1968 introduced the groundbreaking White collection as well as the now-iconic V label. Thanks in part to the entrepreneurial skill of Giancarlo Giammetti, Valentino’s longtime business partner and ex-boyfriend, the brand is still manna among European royalty, American socialites, and celebrities craving a touch of class. Though his new creations get a great deal of attention—and requests, especially around red-carpet time—his vintage dresses continue commanding attention (remember the black gown with white piping Julia Roberts wore to accept her Oscar in 2001? So do we). To the horror of loyal fans across the globe, Valentino announced his retirement in 2007. Since he hadn’t groomed an heir, the label is still trying to find its footing: Former Gucci designer Alessandra Facchinetti took over as head designer until being unceremoniously fired after her spring 2009 collection. Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli, who had previously designed accessories for the label, were then named creative directors.
From Vin Diesel’s Facebook: “Had a meeting with Justin Lin today regarding the Fast saga… some daring but fascinating thoughts in terms of action set pieces… and relationships, old and new.The team is on their way to Brazil this evening, to scout, and to see what selection of cars there are.”

The latest film creation of Robert Rodriguez. You have probably seen some of Robert’s other films such as Desperado, From Dusk Till Dawn, Sin City (Guest Director), but most recent and relevant is his Grindhouse film (Planet Terror). Machete was initially a fake trailer included in Grindhouse 3 years ago but has now fruition-ed into its own feature film.
If you have seen any of Robert Rodriguez film’s you have undoubtibly noticed his cheesy ’70s flare, that have turned his films into instant cult classics. Machete does not fall short and if you like his style you will love this film.
It is packed with action and big name stars such as Machete (Danny Trejo), an evil crime boss (a bloated Steven Seagal), oily businessman (Jeff Fahey), a racist politician (Robert De Niro), a sexy federal agent (Jessica Alba), a fiery female revolutionary (Michelle Rodriguez), the businessman’s daughter, a drugged-up mess (Lindsay Lohan), who may or may not have read the script before her brief topless scene. However, for those eager to see LiLo in a nun’s outfit blowing bad guys away, this is your movie.
Synopsis
After a violent shakedown from a notorious drug lord nearly kills him, Machete, a renegade Mexican Federale and tough–as–nails vigilante for justice, roams the streets of Texas, working as a day laborer. When Machete is hired by a crooked US Senator to execute a covert hit, Machete is double–crossed and forced to run from the cops and an endless stream of assassins. But what they don’t know is that Machete is looking for them so he can settle the score.

Breaking News:
According to the British tabloids, The Stig was fired from Top Gear. In the light of the recent events, with The Stig, a.k.a. Ben Collins, looking to publish his autobiography, various sources are reporting that the show’s producers had to let him go. Recently, more and more rumors are suggesting that one of the people under the white racing suit of The Stig is professional driver Ben Collins. There is a lot of evidence pointing to him, including some of his company’s financial statements. Currently, BBC and the Top Gear producers are fighting a legal battle against a publishing company which is looking to put Stig’s autobiography on the book stands.
Apparently, all the attention Ben Collins is receiving is bad for the show, so they had to fire him. The same sources say Top Gear has already found a replacement for The Stig.
This is all rumors at the moment, and none of this has been confirmed by the BBC , nor by Top Gear.
