Alex Hirschi, from Boonah in Queensland, has lived and worked in a number of countries around the world. But after moving to Dubai with her husband in 2008, the popular social influencer hasn’t looked back. Now Mrs Hirschi, 30, who goes by the moniker Supercar Blondie online, lives an enviable lifestyle in the city where she enjoys a luxury, high-end lifestyle by night and reviews the world’s most expensive supercars by day. ‘I always wanted to at least visit Dubai – it was a city that I loved to watch on the Discovery Channel. It had the world’s biggest everything…

Lockheed Martin, a global aerospace and defense leader, has unveiled its strategic move to participate in the UK Ministry of Defence’s (MOD) New Medium Helicopter (NMH) requirement. This exciting development was announced today at the prestigious Defence and Security Equipment International (DSEI) exhibition, marking a significant step forward in the UK’s quest for a modernized medium helicopter fleet. Lockheed Martin’s initiative centers around the Sikorsky Black Hawk® helicopter, renowned for its cutting-edge technology, exceptional versatility, and proven track record in military operations worldwide.

As Lotus’ founder Colin Chapman once said, the best way to make a vehicle faster is to “simplify and add lightness.” As true as this was for sports cars and race cars, it might be even more fitting to apply this logic to airplanes. With three dimensions of space to navigate instead of flat tarmac, every ounce counts even more so than with cars and trucks. Want proof-positive? Look no further than what might be the finest piston fighter ever built. This is the story of the Grumman F8F Bearcat, World War II’s greatest carrier fighter made lighter, faster, and…

There are two types of people in this world. Those whose response to Erling Haaland scoring a hat-trick against Fulham being to go “Wow that’s amazing, five hat-tricks in 39 Premier League games is ridiculous” and those who go “Third, fourth and fifth goals in a 5-1 win over Fulham? Stat-padding, flat-track bullying fraud.” We’re not saying the second group are right, but we are about to set out to prove that – just like Harry Kane’s so-called England so-called goals – Erling Haaland has actually scored zero proper goals that count for Manchester City. Look, what do you want…

It must require nerves of steel to drive a £1.6million one-off porcelain supercar through Paris’ notoriously congested streets, let alone parallel park it. The super-wealthy owner of this astonishing Veyron L’Or Blanc – or White Gold – must have breathed a sigh of relief when it arrived at the hotel unscathed. This unique edition of the 253mph, 1,000bhp car – created in conjunction with a firm that usually makes tea pots – had never been seen on the road in Europe. And when rumours started circling it had popped up in Paris, the ‘car-parazzi’ packed their tripods before heading for…

The AIM-120 AMRAAM blasted a BQM-167 drone out of the sky at an unprecedented distance. An F-15C Eagle fighter jet destroyed a target drone last month in what the U.S. Air Force describes as “the longest known air-to-air missile shot to date.” Exactly how far away the fighter was from its target when it fired the radar-guided AIM-120 AMRAAM missile has not been disclosed, but the test is a clear signal that the Air Force is making very long-range aerial engagements a priority. The potentially record-breaking missile shot, at least in terms of U.S. capabilities, took place during a WSEP…

Erling Haaland has been urged to snub the Ballon d’Or ceremony if Lionel Messi poaches the title from under his nose. The Manchester City superstar, 23, has turned heads with his new braided locks while away on international duty with Norway. On Wednesday the Ballon d’Or released its 30-man shortlist for the annual award. For the first time in two decades, five-time winner Cristiano Ronaldo is absent from the list. However, long-time rival and seven-time winner Messi is already the people’s favourite to claim the prize. The 36-year-old moved to MLS this summer – linking up with David Beckham at…

The convoluted history of Rolls-Royce is both fascinating and riddled with incredible stories. But the British ultra-luxury company has probably never thought about breaching all tabus. Well, at least not in the real world. Today, under BMW Group ownership since 1998, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has had one of the widest ranges ever, complete with Phantom and Ghost sedans, Wraith and Dawn two-door coupes and convertibles, plus the first-ever Cullinan SUV. Sure, certain nameplates will bite the proverbial dust in favor of new arrivals like the company’s first-ever fully-electric Spectre model. And it is also true that it broke more than…

A black mother-of-three who gave birth to a pale-skinned red-headed child with piercing blue eyes has been left baffled. Patience Chando, 36, who is of Zimbabwean heritage, and her white German partner Andreas Spillea, 49, welcomed four-month old baby Andrea Mariella into the world in April. But now she can’t take her daughter out in public without being stopped – but not just because of how adorable she is. The former office worker thought her daughter’s creamy complexion would darken since her other daughters – 15-year-old Faith and 17-year-old Lucricia – inherited her skin tone. But instead, the mum-of-three said…

If you’re a self-proclaimed lazy driver and find manual steering too much of an effort, BMW’s latest car is right up your street. The German carmaker’s all-electric 5 Series Saloon lets you change lanes just by looking at your wing mirror. The car – which starts at £49,850 – is fitted with cameras behind the steering wheel that monitor the gaze of the driver. When the vehicle suggests a lane change, such as when the car in front is going too slowly, it can be confirmed by the driver by looking at the wing mirror. Once this confirmation sign has…

A luxury car brand once hailed as Spain’s equivalent to Rolls Royce or Bentley and a favourite of the royal family is wowing critics with a new design that it hopes will restore the brand’s global reputation. Hispano Suiza’s ‘Carmen’ is a lightweight supercar that’s largely built from carbon fibre and powered entirely by electricity. The supercar costs £1.3m, has 1,005 bhp and can accelerate to 62mph in under three seconds with a top speed of 155mph. The model shown at the Geneva Motor Show last week is the first production vehicle from the firm – who rose to popularity…

Erling Haaland has the joint-highest rating of any player on the soon-to-be released EA Sports FC 24 video game. The popular game, formerly known as FIFA, is due to be released on September 29 with fans eagerly anticipating who will be the biggest and best stars to try and sign this year. After a staggering first season with Manchester City, it’s no surprise to see Haaland at the top of the list with a rating of 91. A tally of 52 goals and nine assists in all competitions for the treble-winners is a record that can’t be matched by many,…

We’ve all seen our fair share of weird things at the airport – from crazy items being found in people’s suitcases, to pet-owners taking their furry friends abroad. However, travelers at San José Mineta International Airport (SJC), were shocked to see a giant rabbit being pushed around in a stroller yesterday evening. Jemma Wilson took to Twitter, sharing a photo of the hilarious sight, and announced ‘I am at the airport and there is a giant rabbit in a stroller, I repeat a giant rabbit in a stroller.’ The tweet has racked up over 80,000 views, with people loving the…

Several years before the Second World War, German military planners were already considering strikes on the Soviet industrial sites they would deliver as part of a future invasion. Given the Soviet Union’s vast territory, such missions would require long-range bombers. That prompted the development of Heinkel He 177 Greif, which ultimately came to be Luftwaffe’s only operational long-range heavy bomber. However, the Heinkel He 177 was dubbed the ‘flaming coffin’ by its crews as overheating was the cause of so many engine fires. The challenge of building a fast heavy bomber with a diving capability In 1936, the German Ministry…

The production run of Bell P-63 Kingcobra during WWII totaled over 3,300 aircraft—a serious, although not a record breaking number. However, few of these planes ever entered service with the USAAF, and even those that did were employed in non-combat roles. The majority of Kingcobras ended up in the hands of Soviet and French pilots flying missions on the Eastern Front, over Manchuria, Korea, Algeria, and Indochina. In a weird quirk of fate, some Kingcobras were still equipping Soviet squadrons, when Cold War tensions between the United States and the USSR reached dangerous heights during the Korean War. Lessons learnt…

A woman with 15 kids has revealed she is pregnant with her sixteenth child, just three months after giving birth, and says she won’t rule out having even more babies in the future. Patty Hernandez, 38, and her husband Carlos, 37, live with their gigantic brood in a five-bedroom house in Charlotte, North Carolina, which includes a nursery with five cribs. The couple spend a whopping $500 a week on groceries and diapers and are shopping for a new vehicle as they have outgrown their 16-seater bus. Of the 15 kids, there are five boys and ten girls, and six…

More than 50 years since Mercedes-Benz debuted the bright orange C111 automobile, the company has pulled back the curtains on a stunning reboot. Called the One-Eleven, the two-person all-electric supercar looks like a species of exotic beetle thanks to its striking orange-and-black paintwork on the outside. It also has an ultra-flat aerodynamic body and gull-wing doors that open upwards on either side – much like the DeLorean in the 1985 American sci-fi classic ‘Back to the Future’. Inside the One-Eleven is a sci-fi-inspired ‘lounge’ interior with two F1-style silver seats and a rectangular steering wheel, along with a pixelated dashboard,…

It is not the most conventional way of making an entrance. A car crashed through the side of a couple’s house and into their living room – demolishing a near-perfect square of brickwork in the process. Bizarrely, the car is almost unscathed and is even thought to be preventing the partial collapse of the semi-detached home. Chris Simpson and his pregnant wife Laura were at work when the Honda CR-V crashed into their house in Sutton, south London on Wednesday morning. Mr Simpson, 32, a project manager in London, said: ‘When they called and told me there was a car…

A mother has five children under the age of five after giving birth to two sets of twins in three eyars. Nadine Robertson, 24, from Doncaster, welcomed daughter Isla in 2017, followed by twins Olivia and Ivy in 2018. The youngest children, Cody and Hazel, arrived 10 weeks ago. Nadine, who conceived both sets of twins without IVF, explained neither she nor husband Phil had a family history of twins. The mother-of-five said: ‘I just wing it every day to be honest. I wake up and I hope the rest of them are going to be in a good mood…

Former Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan was the subject of more mum shaming as she posts eye-popping snap.

A man believes he has solved the world’s traffic congestion problem with a car narrow enough for ‘lane-splitting’ and compact enough to park perpendicular. Called Tango, this tiny electric vehicle is just eight and a half feet long and 39 inches wide, making it half the size of a traditional automobile. The car comes with a $108,000 price tag and costs $420,000 to make, which is why only 12 have been built — one of which is owned by George Clooney. Scroll down for video Rick Woodbury, who is the president, founder and sole employee of ‘Commuter Cars’, thought of…

Erling Haaland has opened up on his secrets including sleep and diet at Manchester City. Manchester City star Erling Haaland has explained why he tapes his mouth shut while he sleeps and eats cow hearts having opened up on his strict diet and regiment that helps keep him at the top of the sport.

Speaking to KSI and Logan Paul on Paul’s Impaulsive podcast, the trio were…
