Using water to do stuff is cool. Our post on the water fueled torch created quite the discussion. But how about a water fueled car? (Man you can find anything on Youtube). Well check check out the video, apparently all you need is a mason jar, some tubing and a whole load of crazy. In no time your car will be a melting heap on the side of the road. WTF?

Pretty much the most awesomest t-shirt tag ever. Yes, I love Top Gear, but don’t actually have this tee. Although the tag alone is worth it. Right from the mouth of Jeremy Clarkson I’d presume. Hey, also, BBC starts airing new episodes in the UK in a couple of weeks. That probably means end of summer / fall for the U.S. audience, but you can always find the current episodes posted on some site or another. I think Streetfire.net is one.

Our passion for all things Apple is rivaled only for love of Top Gear. So we’re elated that BBC America will roll out season 13 at the end of January. Granted we’ve caught most of the season on Youtube, but nevertheless, we’ll be watching on the big screen in just a few weeks. Here’s a quick highlight roundup someone put together for the new season. Welcome back Jeremy, Hamster and Captain Slow.

Supercar maker Koenigsegg is out to buy GM orphaned Saab. Koenigsegg, maker of the legendary million dollar CCX is gather funds to put in a bid for General Motors cast off brand Saab. Cool we say.

The newly ‘spied’ Honda Insight boasts some outrageous gas mileage. With insider estimates at near 70 mpg it could be Honda’s magic Prius killer. At the every least it looks a hell of lot like one. Not really sure if that’s good or bad. I’m still baffled as to wear the Hybrid CRV is, but hey maybe it’s in the works too. Left Lane News has a slew of spy photos of the new Insight. Check em out.

Once you get beyond the cheesy beginning to this video, the car itself is pretty amazing, but why on earth would you make it a convertible. James Bond would be proud!

Ducati’s will soon begin delivery of it’s Superbike for 2008, the Desmosedici RR. With a limited production of only 1,500 bikes and price tag of over $72,000 you’ll need to be one of the elite (lucky) to get one. But if you do you’ll be able to hit speeds of 200 mph.

A number of ‘firsts’ for Ducati and production sport bike design have been introduced. The 848 and 1098 are the first to have a data acquisition system integrated as standard equipment and the first to use an ingenious construction method for its weight-saving single-sided swingarm.

More ‘firsts’ for a road-going Ducati include the direct application of MotoGP technology, like the power producing GP6-derived elliptical throttle bodies and the use of the information-rich instrumentation originally developed for the Desmosedici GP7.
