There's something strangely compelling about listening to two very excited Japanese sports commentators getting really animated about the prospect of cats lifting and carrying off fish at increasingly heavier levels.

Saw this awesome van the other day over on Car Magazine. The Nissan NV200 is not your average run of the mill motor. This particular version of the NV200 Van was developed and designed as a series of concept vans in Nissan's London studio, before being showcased at a Tokyo car show earlier in the year. As you can see from the photo the back of the van is like matchbox, the extendable pod slides out neatly onto two metal stilts, creating a vast interior with loads of storage space. This particular version was designed with surfers in mind, but the van can easily be adapted for both leisure and business activities; certainly knocks the sock of my battered used van. The back of the pod also doubles as a mobile workspace with a foldout desk, the front seats are on a central rail, allowing them to move into the loading bay and double as a desk chair. It’s a neat little idea and I love its sleek transformer look.

Speaking of transformers, take a look at this sculpture created out of car by Nikola Nikolov. The statue stands at 6ft 6inches and is a true work of art...
