Eventing is the ultimate test of both horse and rider, and encompasses three disciplines: dressage, show jumping and cross country. It's also one of a handful of events where men and women compete on equal terms, proved by World Champion Zara Phillips. Land Rover has been a long-term supporter of World Champion Zara Phillips and now they've announced that the Land Rover Discovery 3 is the Official Vehicle to the British Eventing Team (William Fox-Pitt, Sharon Hunt, Mary King, Tina Cook and Daisy Dick) the very best of British luck this summer. And here's a video with the latest commercial, called "Horsing Around", in which Land Rover shows their support for the team. Pretty funny, don't you think? Enjoy! And you can find more info about Land Rover and the British Eventing Team on the official Land Rover website.

The second video from the MINI John Cooper Works series "Not Extreme enough?" has just been published on YouTube. Two Japanese tourists are visiting a zoo. Suddenly, a crazy guy jumps over a hedge into the tapir park of the zoo. He does some karate moves behind the tapir, followed by a prostate check.

Just like we received cryptic information on the Gina Light Visionary concept, BMW is at it again today. They have set up a huge structure at the Red Square in Moscow which hides something, something special. We guess it should be a grand unveiling of the BMW 7-Series sedan, but then, that's also not confirmed. The installation will give way on the 8th of July to something special and new. Have a look at the trailer that BMW has sent us and let us know what you think it would be. For those in and around Moscow, don't forget to visit the Red Square on the 8th. Thrills and eye-candy guaranteed. If you would like to know more, head over to the Never Stand Still web site to see more videos.

The first think that crossed my mind when I saw this video commercial was the Citroen C4 Transformers ad that was launched a few years ago. And apparently that’s what GM wanted us to think, because this commercial makes fun of Citroen and Ford too, because, if we look closely we can see that the “transformers” car looks a lot like the previous generation Ford Focus, while the slogan for this commercial is “Get Real!”. The ad has been a viral video sensation and Chevrolet denied responsibility for making the add but the branding at the end makes you think otherwise! Anyways, funny commercial, check it out!

We are one of the fortunate 30 to get this cryptic bit of information. The new revolutionary concept car from BMW, Gina Light Visionary Concept, will have its wraps taken off at a flashy event on June 10th in the presence of the entire media. But the crux of the mail was a video showing the transportation of one of the camouflaged cars to BMW's museum located in Munich. Take a peek and let us know what you think! And remember, you saw it first here on Automotoportal.com.

The world's cheapest car was developed like a secret nuclear weapon in an army HQ. Nobody knew anything about it, and company officials never spoke of it. They including the suppliers withheld all vital stats and figures until the official launch. Information dribbled onto the web in the later stages but that was again nothing really appreciable.
