The just released new styled edition of the elegant Ford Mondeo is already available in a snazzy version. An early prototype of the Ford Mondeo inspired Loder1899 to create this artwork for the slick Ford. It was the car of choice for James Bond on his last mission in “Casino Royale”.

Equally suave and sophisticated is the real carbon Body Styling Kit from Loder1899.The discreet front lip and the lowering kit (35mm) underline the sportive keynote of the new Ford allowing the car to glide closer to the road surface. The elegant roof spoiler, the rear diffuser and the two branch stainless steel sport exhaust system (75×105mm) lends a powerful finish.

The real secret agent highlights are the 9×20″ alloy wheels “Jacky” in polished shiny black or silver.

The standard 220 hp Ford Mondeo gains an extra 50hp due to Loder1899`s motor management and the sport exhaust system.

The Loder1899 suspension system for the front and rear axles with adjustable vehicle height, gradient, pressure level and strut compression ensures luxury limousine comfort.

The Hungarian GP made Sakon Yamamoto decide to join the Spyker F1 team. And eventually, everybody thought it was a great decision for Yamamoto and Spyker because everybody was impressed both with Yamamoto’s approach and his agility and speed on the race tracks.

Now let’s hear Yamamoto’s review about the previous season courtesy of MotorSport.com:

Q: It’s been quite an unusual season for you, not least because you switched from GP2 to F1 in the middle of it. How would you sum up the year?

Sakon Yamamoto: This year was quite a variable season for me! At the beginning of the season I was a test driver for Aguri, and I raced in GP2 as a way to come back to F1. And I got a chance. The team was different, but it was a good opportunity to join with Spyker, and I really appreciated that they give me a good chance to drive in F1. I joined from Hungary, so in total I did seven races. In the first one in Hungary and the last one in Brazil I retired, but the other five races I finished. I tried as hard as I could and I really appreciate everybody who supported me, the team members and sponsors. So I really want to say thank you for a great season.

Q: How difficult was it to come back to F1 with a different team and no testing?

SY: At the first race in Hungary everything was really new, but at least I had experience from last year, so therefore for me it wasn’t as tough as 2006. Last year I joined F1 during the season, and I didn’t know anything. But this year I at least had that experience of seven races, and I knew how I should work with an F1 team, and that experience helped me a lot.

Q: How much did the situation improve when you got the B-spec car?

SY: The B-spec car was better than the A-spec, it was a big improvement. For me driving was much easier than before, and I also I could try to really push to get good results for the team.

Q: You didn’t have much luck in qualifying. Was that frustrating?

SY: During the season I can say I had really bad luck to try to get good lap times, things like traffic, some accidents. But that’s motor racing, and I believe that if something bad happens, next day it can be good again, so I didn’t worry about it so much. I just tried to concentrate on my job.

Q: Which race were you most happy with?

SY: I was really happy with the Japanese GP, because it was my home race, and it was the toughest conditions. I had a good result. But my target was always to get nearer the front, and I had hoped to do that in the final race in Brazil!

Although wrinkles can signify wisdom, most people nowadays would rather not have them. Skin wrinkles typically appear as a result of aging processes such as glycation or, temporarily, as the result of prolonged (more than a few minutes) immersion in water. Wrinkling in skin is caused by habitual facial expressions, aging, sun damage, smoking, poor hydration, and various other factors.

Many products and procedures promise to reduce wrinkles. Some do little or nothing (like the products that claim they reduce “the appearance of fine lines”, which means that they don’t reduce the lines themselves). Others can achieve a fair amount of success.

Be wise – moisturize. One cause of wrinkling is dry skin. Therefore, it makes sense to moisturize the skin. This can hide smaller wrinkles. Drinking plenty of water is also a good idea.

Stop smoking. We all know about the dangers of smoking but did you know that this bad habit can also contribute to wrinkles? Doctors say smoking causes premature wrinkles in the mouth due to constant puckering. It also interferes with the blood supply in that area that could aggravate wrinkling.

Stay away from straws. Sipping your favorite drink with a straw can make you look glamorous but it has the same effect as smoking and can cause wrinkles. To prevent this, drink directly from the bottle, can or glass. Don’t let the drink linger in your mouth. Drinking water afterwards can reduce your chances of tooth decay due to the acids found in colas, non-colas, and tea drinks.

Sucking up your drinks through a straw makes you purse your lips over and over (as if smoking a cigarette) and can bring on wrinkles. It doesn’t help your teeth much either. Drinking sugary drinks through a straw may save decay on your front teeth but the back ones will be badly affected,” said Bella Battle in the Sun Woman Online.

Sleep right. Burning the midnight candle can make you look old so it’s important to get enough sleep. However, the way you sleep can also affect your appearance. To avoid sleep wrinkles, sleep on your back and keep pillows away from your face. Pressing your face into a pillow whenever you sleep can give you wrinkles. If you can’t avoid this, use a softer pillow made of silk instead of one made of cotton.

You know those facial creases you wake up with from sleeping on your side? They could be permanent. Regularly subjecting one side of your face to such pressure can lead to wrinkles that don’t budge. Sleep on your back with your face in the air to avoid puffy eyes and a lined face,” Battle said.

Put on a happy face. While the link between stress and wrinkles is not clear, experience has shown us that the former can make us look older. Unhappiness, loneliness, anxiety, and depression are major stressors that can make or break you. Problems can’t be avoided but learn to live with them and you’ll feel much better. It will show on your face too.

Here are some things people can do to prevent getting many wrinkles at an early age:

#1 Don’t go to the tanning salon. The UV light from tanning booths is just as damaging as the sun’s - and sometimes worse.

#2 Don’t smoke! Smoking robs your skin of precious moisture and causes premature (early) wrinkles. (Did you ever notice that most heavy smokers have wrinkles around their mouths?)
