New cars of West Midlands Highway Police; McLaren MP4-12C, BMW i3 and BMW 1-Series.
Many of might be thinking the West Midlands paid to buy these cars but
they are donated, so don’t be confused with the conversation on Twitter.

Classic cars, West Ealing
Some interesting vehicles caught my eye while Moni and I were out and
about in West Ealing. Classic cars are more common in Britain than
Poland, where the old car scene is mainly about preserving old east
European and West German marques. Brits, having greater disposable
incomes than Poles, will be more tempted to splash out on vintage tin.
Above:
This - is an automobile. 1950 or '51 Chrysler Club Coupe, parked on
Hastings Road, W13. I remember as far ago as the early 1980s, there
would always be a huge 1950s American car parked here; a beautiful
Cadillac or Lincoln... (wait, I'll search my archives...) Ah yes, here
we are... 1983 or thereabouts. Below: 1957 Cadillac on Hastings Road.
Good to see consistency here! Over a quarter of a century of keeping
these wonderful old vehicles on the road, this guy is performing a
valuable service to automobile history.
Left:
A 1965 VW Beetle outside Oaklands Primary School, on Oaklands Road,
Hanwell W7, which I attended from 1962 to 1969. The Beetle was a rare
example of a foreign-built vehicle which achieved significant sales in
the UK before Britain joined the Common Market (as the EU was called in
those days). French, German or Italian cars were an unusual sight on
Britain's roads due to high import tariffs.

eBay watch: Dodge Challenger widebody convertible by West Coast Customs
Dodge may have ruled out building a convertible version of its Challenger muscle car but if you’re determined enough to purchase one then there are a score of vehicle customizers across the country willing to serve your needs, for the correct price. One such customizer is California’s West Coast Customs (WCC), the same company made famous on the original MTV Pimp my ride series.
The custom Challenger was originally commissioned by Joshua 'Chop' Tobin from Las Vegas car dealership Towbin Dodge. It is based on the mid-level R/T model and includes a custom widebody kit in addition to the convertible conversion.
It wouldn’t be a true WCC car without some modification of the interior, and as such the Challenger was given a complete overhaul inside, with contrasting black and white leather trim and a premium Polk stereo system. Other modifications to the car include 26in Asanti wheels, a sports exhaust system, blacked out tail lamps, and a discrete rear spoiler.
'We've arrived!' Kim Kardashian turns rock chick and Kanye West stands atop a flashy car as they hit Vegas for her birthday party - See more at: http://esabod.blogspot.com/2013/10/weve-arrived-kim-kardashian-turns-rock.html#sthash.J22WVKHK.dpuf
Kim
Kardashian’s actual birthday will be hard to beat, as it saw Kanye West
get down on bended knee and ask his baby mama to be his wife.
But
nevertheless the reality star is dragging out the celebrations, and
will mark turning 33 with an official party on Friday night.
Kim
and her new fiancé arrived in Las Vegas at lunchtime that day and
naturally the first thing that the birthday girl wanted to do was pose
for a photograph.
The krew:
Kim Kardashian shared this photo on Instagram after landing in Las
Vegas with Kanye West and friends, including Tyga (second from left) and
Jonathan Cheban (far right) on Friday
While
they were at the airport, Kim and Kanye and their group of pals,
including rapper Tyga and Kim’s best friend Jonathan Cheban, posed for a
cool picture in front of some planes.
The
gang leaned up against the bonnet of the car, but Kanye took it a step
further and hopped up so that he was standing on the vehicle’s hood, as
Tyga crouched beside him.
Kim wasn’t about to attempt that in her high heeled sandals, so instead posed up in front of the car.
On top of the world: Kim posed in a rock chick inspired outfit as Kanye stood on the bonnet of a flashy car
The blonde beauty went for a rock chick style look in a black T-shirt, skinny jeans, a gold chain choker and futuristic square black sunglasses.
Kanye, 36, meanwhile was wearing a red plaid shirt unbuttoned over a grey T-shirt, along with dark jeans and tan boots.
‘Vegas...we've arrived!!!’ an exciting Kim wrote alongside the photo as she posted it to Instagram.
It's been a busy
week: The night before the newly engaged couple were in Los Angeles
where they attended the Dream For Future Africa Gala
Bootylicious: The reality star highlighted her hourglass figure and 43lbs weight loss in a tight white outfit
Lighten up with an ivory pencil skirt by Nina Ricci
Kim Kardashian is the cat that got the cream... see
what we did there? Not only is she looking good after shedding some of
her post baby weight, she's got herself an enormous rock on her
engagement finger. Not a bad week all in all.
This ivory
ensemble is by French design house Nina Ricci and is a perfect example
of the designer's feminine aesthetic. The super soft top shows just a
hint of skin and this forgiving pencil skirt is a great mix of boucle knit with silk panels. The graceful gathering and ruching
around the waist helps to cover any areas of insecurity for a new mum
and the asymmetric lines throw off the expected silhouette and help to
create even more curves on the reality star.
The skirt is
available to buy at Barneys, the iconic New York department store, but
the good news is that they ship to the UK and if you click the link
(right) you can get your hands on Kim's style right now.
Being a high end
designer piece, it is a pricey proposition but you can replicate the
look for less on the virtual high street. We like Topshop's cable knit
number or Jane Norman has a similar style that is great value.
Then either go for a matching look like Kim or wear a contrasting cosy black knit - and don't forget the sky high heels to really get the Kardashian look down.

Kim’s
birthday party will be held at Tao nightclub, and it seems the couple,
who attended an event in Los Angeles the previous evening, left their
four-month-old daughter North West at home to head to Sin City.
Kim was in San Francisco where Kanye put on an elaborate proposal for her in the AT&T Park, and her family were there to watch.
The reality star, who has been married twice before, gushed that the night was ‘truly magical’.
Can't beat it: On Kim's actual 33rd birthday on Monday, Kanye proposed with a $1.6million and 15-carat ring
'I am the luckiest girl in the world!' she told E!. 'I get to marry my best friend!'
Meanwhile
Kanye, 36, admitted in an interview prior to the lavish event that he's
'never loved a girl' as much as Kim, except for his mother, Donda West,
who died in 2007 following plastic surgery complications.
'I
have never loved any girl, other than my mother, as much as I love my
girlfriend,' he said of Kim during an interview on Monday with San
Francisco radio station KMEL.
Staying home: It seems the couple's baby daughter North remained in LA while they jetted to Sin City
So slim! Khloe
Kardashan showed off her slender shape in an all-black ensemble as she
departed from Los Angeles International Airport on Friday
It's not over just yet! The 29-year-old was proudly wearing her
