Minted In Prague at Czech National Bank’s Money Expo

Money, money, money. No, I’m not talking about the Abba song, but the path along which money has travelled stretching as far back as civilization itself. And, as I discovered on a recent trip to Prague to visit the ‘People & Money’ exhibition, there is a Czech saying that goes: “Money is the means of the wise and the end of fools.”

Van't Hoff Quintessence Cosmic Stars Watch - The Ultimate Christmas Jewellery

Van’t Hoff watches are subtle creations, more jewellery than watch. The discreet hands are hidden within the glittering spires that radiate from the jewels embedded in the black firmament. The oval shape of the watch softly curls round the wrist, with a sparkling diamond frame that enhances the face and the 3.78 carats of diamonds that make up the stars.

Czinger 21C - An Automotive Revolution

Czinger 21C Supercar - An Automotive Revolution

I recently attended the launch of a revolutionary hypercar built for the 21st century by a new company called Czinger.
In their own words: 'Czinger represents the pinnacle of automotive engineering, innovation, automotive art and technology-based design.'
In 1916 Cadillac produced the type 53. This is considered to be the first car to use the same control layout as modern cars, with the gear lever and hand brake in the middle of the front two seats, a key started ignition, and three pedals for the clutch, brake and throttle in the familiar order.

Porsche Cayenne Coupe - Fast Orange

Porsche Cayenne Coupe - Fast Orange

This is the entry-level Cayenne coupe which means that it has the all aluminium 3L V6 turbocharged engine with Variocam. It produces 335hp and 450Nm of torque, very nice.
The brochure states a top speed of 150 mph and 0-62 takes 6 seconds, so it’s certainly not slow.
Cayenne coupe starts at around £62,000 and this particular car has a few choice extras so comes out at just over £80,000.

Kia Stinger 3.3 V6 GT-S - Kia's Wild Child

Kia Stinger 3.3 V6 GT-S - Kia's Wild Child

Kia describes the Stinger as: a halo performance model. They say It is a GT car and not a hard edged sports car.
I read a very cool quote from chief designer Gregory Guillaume (Gee-ome) which said: "the Stinger has nothing to do with being first to arrive. This car is all about the journey. it's about passion."
Stinger is a new direction for Kia, taking them into a new market sector. A 5 door, 5 seater fastback style grand Tourer.
It is also their first Rear Wheel Drive car in the UK.
