QT Sport

Juniper Foo | Sep 14, 2005

Yet another "little" car that will likely elude Singaporeans' grasp. Think Smart Car and Japan's electric ride, the Q-Car. The QT, if you fancy the dune buggy look, is one cool hunka metal complete with removable weather-proof roof and stylish gull-wing doors. There's unfortunately no headroom for airbags or luggage in this diminutive roadster, but it comes loaded with enough adrenalin for a zippy ride and is apparently made to order, from the accessories right down to the color options. The next time you're sitting in one of these and think people are staring at you, they're really looking at the QT.

Espresso maker for cars

Juniper Foo | Sep 13, 2005

It's quite amazing how much multitasking your car's lowly cigarette lighter is capable of, besides firing up a Malboro or Salem. Not so long ago, this driver had her eye on a cooler that plugged into the power point to keep drinks chilled. Then it was an ionizer for some scented air. Now it's an expresso maker for cars. If you're the kind who glugs coffee like there's no tomorrow, we like the classy Italian-made Velox 12V Travel Espresso Maker which not only looks chic, there's a choice of three colors to match your car's interior. All you need is water and your favorite java to percolate up a rush of caffeine anytime, anywhere.
