The effects of the typhoon included mudslides and other damage within the grounds of Fuji Speedway, and although reconstruction work is under way, there has also been severe damage to roads in the vicinity of the Speedway. It has become evident that attempting to hold the race as scheduled under such conditions would not only be an imposition on the spectators attempting to come to the race, it could also seriously hinder the work of the local authorities and citizens to recover quickly from the typhoon damage. As such, the Oyama Town authorities has made a request to cancel the race.

To sum it up, the general driving impression of the Koup is one of a lifestyle car that has been styled to look sporty, with mechanical paraphernalia that delivers an improved driving experience as compared to its sedan sibling.

'Blur' is basically an amalgam of 'Need for Speed Underground' and 'Super Mario Kart'. I started off the game by playing in 'Career' mode, with grandiose notions of being Mad Max assailing my mind. The game play is pretty straightforward as I progressed through a series of race events that required me to defeat my rivals on the streets and taking their vehicles. The ultimate aim is to get into the 'One-on-One' mode, but I must first fulfill a series of tasks that consists of a certain number of criteria as I competed in other events that included 'Race', 'Destruction' and 'Checkpoint'.

Swede Sensation | Saab 9-3 Combi 2.8T V6

IN Saab, 9-3, Black, Wagon, Swede

Having the top-of-the-line 2.8 turbo-charged engine is not enough for this 9-3 owner. Already pushing close to 300bhp at stage 1, he's not stopping and has already planned his stage 2 mods.
