written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

More than usual? This is exactly the slogan that Apocalypse Manufacturing, based in Florida, follows. He deals by converting vehicles to six-wheelers and making them literal off-road runners.

Their latest creation is called World Ender (loosely translated as the end of the world or a car to drive to the end of the world) and it is based on a modern factory. Land Rover Defender. However, it is very different, as the chassis of the car has been completely redesigned and a third part – and look out – has been added! Many modifiers make the six-wheeler only as a 6×4.

Also new are 20-inch military-style wheels fitted with powerful 38-inch all-terrain tires. Thanks to the modification of the chassis, it is possible to manage its ground by 8 inches (20 cm). With this hardware you can go through almost anything.

The body itself received extended protections, side steps, a protective frame, additional lights, a tour carrier, a rear sports bar, chassis protection and other elements.

The petrol engine takes care of the drive five-liter turbocharged eight-cylinder with a power of 525 hp and a force of 625 Nm, the exhausts are taken out to the sides. However, the tuner did not announce the weight of the car, but it seems that it will be higher than the production model, which will affect the driving parameters of this six-wheeled monster.

The vehicle in the photos already has a buyer, also from Florida. The company Apocalypse Manufacturing will be happy to build more pieces, but you will have to pay almost 8.5 million crowns.

Formula 1 visits Las Vegas

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com September 2, 2024

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

em / fin

The 2024 Formula 1 calendar also includes the race in Las Vegas. There are over a hundred casinos in Sin City, and the temptation for racing drivers and team members to spend their time there is naturally greater than in any other city. However, Mercedes AMG F1 team boss Toto Wolff has already clearly spoken out against his employees going to the casino during active race days. Will everyone stick to this? After all, the range of the most popular games such as blackjack and roulette is enormous, especially in Las Vegas.

In Las Vegas, Red Bull achieved a double podium with Max Verstappen in P1 and Sergio Perez in P3. Ferrari started from pole with Charles Leclerc, but ended up only finishing second. On the starting grid, Red Bull benefited from the +10 place penalty against Ferrari F1 driver Carlos Sainz. It is not known whether the Formula 1 protagonists had fun in the casino during their stay, but Red Bull at least made a first by letting one of their cars race through the casino (see video). The next Las Vegas Grand Prix will take place on November 23rd, 24. Incidentally, the most played table games in Las Vegas are probably blackjack and roulette. Both games can be successfully beaten with skill, although you also need a little luck. Basically, it’s similar to motorsport: with skill and a little luck, you emerge from a race as the winner!

This duel of giants involves two undisputed classics in the endless expanses of the international casino scene. Blackjack and roulette are both thrilling, high stakes and the considerable chance of making handsome winnings – as long as you know the rules.

There is a debate about which game offers better chances and which strategies are considered to be more promising. Adventurous gamblers can try risky strategies in roulette, such as the “666 Strategy“, while card players in Blackjack remember the cards that have been played. It is worth mentioning that it is not always just about luck – your own skill and the existing background knowledge are also required. This gives you a significant influence on the outcome of the game.

A little insider knowledge for the best possible success

Clash of the Titans – The Basics of Blackjack and Roulette

However different the two casino games may seem, there are significant similarities. For players, the most important similarity is the fact that both roulette and blackjack have a lower house edge than slot machines and many other games. With the right skill, leisure and of course a little luck, fate can be kind to you and you can benefit from permanently improved chances of winning.

Blackjack – In the eternal battle with the dealer

Blackjack, often called “21”, is a cult card game with a venerable tradition. The aim is to get closer to 21 points than the dealer with your own playing cards (virtual or real). If the magic value is exceeded, you automatically lose. The exciting appeal of blackjack lies in the combination of luck and skill. Here you can score points by using strategies. These include card counting or betting according to the Martingale-System.

Roulette – The Cauldron of Fate

Roulette, on the other hand, is a pure game of chance. Players bet on a number, a color or a combination of these. The dealer spins the wheel every round and you hope that the ball lands on the corresponding bet. Although the game is very simple, you can experience a real thrill with a fair amount of excitement.

Comparison of odds and house edge

Blackjack
Roulette

Game principle Card game in which the aim is
to get as close to 21 as possible Gambling in which you bet on the number or color of a spinning ball

Strategy High influence through skillful card management Low influence on roulette odds as the game depends on chance

Payout percentage (RTP) Up to 99% with optimal strategy About 97.3%

Game atmosphere High interaction intensity between players
and dealer Relaxed gaming atmosphere without direct interaction

Learnability Moderate difficulty Very easy to learn

From the table we received from Ruleta77 We have derived from our experience that Blackjack generally has a lower house edge than roulette. This is especially true when compared to American roulette with its two zero spaces. In theory, this means that in the long run, blackjack players have better chances of winning than roulette players.

Different strategies & player types

Thinkers, strategists and cerebral players will probably give priority to blackjack. Here you can actively influence your chances of winning as long as you don’t lose track. Roulette, on the other hand, has its own charm and attracts players who live in the moment and love pure gambling.

Ultimately, however, much is left to chance. Luck naturally plays an unpredictable role in both games. There is no 100% guarantee for the outcome of casino games, so responsibility and mindfulness are paramount.

Conclusion on Roulette vs. Blackjack

Both are classic offline games. But online casinos also shine with unique gaming experiences and advantages – but of course also disadvantages. If you just play to win, blackjack realistically reveals higher chances – with the appropriate skill and knowledge of the player. Roulette, on the other hand, captivates bon vivants who simply want to have fun betting. Both casino games now exist in countless variants, with significant differences. In order to play successfully, you have to know and understand the individual rules. In conclusion, it can be said that roulette and blackjack are both excellent games that have rightly earned a place in history.

Strange Škoda for sale. Up for grabs is a secret coupe that shouldn’t exist. The owner also wants an incredible sum for the bathtub – Garáž.cz

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com August 4, 2024

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

The development of the Škoda 1200 began in 1948, and series production began in 1952. The model of the classic concept with a backbone frame was first sold in a passenger version as a sedan, but from 1953 the Škoda station wagon 1200 STW with a one-piece fifth door opening to the side, there was also an ambulance and a pick-up truck.

At the beginning of 1956, the production of the modern Škoda 1201 started with a more powerful engine of 33 kW (45 hp).

And it’s from the latest 1201 that’s supposed to be based on the aforementioned two-door coupe, which we found in a German ad on Mobile.de. We already know that body type doesn’t match. In this context, the seller says that he is offering a special one and that there is only one coupe – and one convertible.

While the prototype of the open car is known, its prototype was already created in 1950 (the cabriolet did not go into series production), there is silence that the bathtub is there. However, it is definitely not a factory product.

The bright red Škoda with unusually large wheels really intrigued us, which is why we started our search. And we found out, we are not surprised, that it was a later reconstruction.

On Facebook, we found ads of the Slovak company 83 REBORN, in which this company, which specializes in the renovation of classic cars, offers for sale a red Škoda 1201 Sedan converted into a coupe two a door The color, the wheels or the interior design also correspond to the piece “our”.

In the ad, the seller refers to the car as a work that was started 20 years ago and needs to be completed. The coupe was supposed to come from the collection of one of 83 REBORN customers.

The mention of the new 1.5 liter engine is interesting. A petrol unit with the same dimensions is also mentioned in the German advertisement, which adds to the power of 54 kW and the presence of a 4-speed manual transmission. So it is clear that the special Škoda somehow made its way from Slovakia to Germany to its current owner. And now he is selling it. The seller also claims that the car has only been driven on bumps, maintained and garaged.

Photo: Mobile.de

And the price? The current owner wants a whopping 42,000 euros, which translates to about a million crowns. In September 2015, an unusual Škoda was for sale for 7,000 euros – that’s about 177,000 crowns according to the current exchange rate.

Yes, at that time it was an unfinished car, on which someone had to tinker and put extra money, but the difference in the price worry us…
