車を檻に入れた男
2008年2月28日
A Chinese man has built a cage for his car to stop thieves kidnapping parts and demanding ransom money.
Mr Zhang, of Jilin city, says his car’s computerised engine management system was stolen twice.
“Each time I found a note clipped under the wiper, with phone and bank-account numbers,” he said.
Each time, Zhang had to wire 500 yuan (£35) to get the part back, reports City Evenings.
He has now built a cage to keep his car safe outside his home.
A police spokesman urged car owners not to pay ransom money to thieves and to contact the authorities instead.

木製スーパーカー
2008年2月22日
A US designer is working on the world’s first wooden supercar.
Joe Harmon, 27, started the project with other students at North Carolina State University to see whether it was possible to build a performance car out of wood.
Their creation - the Splinter - should be completed later this year and they believe it should be capable of speeds in excess of 240mph.
Mr Harmon said: “Wood is a truly amazing material to work with. It has a higher strength-to-weight ratio than aluminium or steel, and it possesses a versatility that makes many different types of construction techniques possible.

This article should come in handy for the next time you’re stuck in traffic: have you ever wondered why the Audi in front of you has a logo of four interlocked rings? Did you know that the Cadillac emblem was inspired by a family crest of a nobleman who later turned out to be a fraud? Or that Volkswagen was Hitler’s idea?
We took a look at the evolution of tech logos before. Today, let’s take a look at the fascinating stories behind the logos of some of the most popular cars in the world:
