We like electric vehicles and even more with such high gas prices. Seems like Domino’s like the idea also, enough to test ZAP (Zero Air Pollution) line of Xebra cars (see picture). The Xebra is the only street legal 100% electric car that plugs into any 110-volt outlet. Only compromise is the 40mph ( 60kmh ) limit. In just 1.5 hour you get 50% charge and you need 6 hours for a full charge that will bring you around 40 miles ( 60 kms ) away. Let’s hope that Domino’s project will go forward and that more companies will see the benefits of environmentally friendly options.

May 8th 2007 will mark the 25th anniversary of Gilles Villeneuve death. He died in a 140mph crash finishing his final qualifying lap for the Belgian Grand Prix. Villeneuve won six Grand Prix with Ferrari and was known as the fastest driver but also as a genuine man. Some activities will take place at his hometown Berthierville and in Montreal. On Sunday May 6 the Gilles Villeneuve museum will held open doors and in Montreal an exposition will take place at Marché Bonsecours starting May 8 until June 10, the day of the Grand Prix of Canada taking place at the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve.
