Get frugal with Alfa Romeo Mito GTA Concept Car



Alfa Romeo MITO


In this time of meltdown everyone is trying to save as much as possible and most of them are chucking their fuel guzzling beasts for smaller beauties which consume less and deliver more. Next week Alfa Romeo will be launching its Mito GTA concept car in Geneva.

This will be a lightweight car backed by lots of power that’s why you will find maximum use of carbon fiber in Mito ranging from roof to tailgate spoiler to mirror fairings apart from use of aluminum in the suspension, braking system and specific parts of the chassis.

The heart of Alfa Romeo Mito is a turbo charged direct injection 1.7-liter petrol engine delivering 240bhp. The combination of power and lightness will ensure that you get the best mileage out of the lot and put the money saved to other better uses.

Diamond Lounge: World's First Luxury Online Dating Site



Diamond Lounge: World's First Luxury Online Dating Site


Now if you are a man or women who have got billions of dollars to blast then why would you like to date any Tom, Dick or Harry on any of the free dating websites? Obviously you would like to date somebody who is as powerful as you are or even above you and someone who could be your arm candy as well.

Luxury has not spared dating websites. Check out Diamond Lounge which in the words of the website itself is ‘Luxury Dating and Social Networking for Successful Professionals.’

You can choose some of the choicest men and women in the world as the member list comprises of A-list celebrities, models, actors, entrepreneurs, doctors, lawyers and CEOs of some of the biggest companies in the world.

This is what the founder of Diamond Lounge had to say:

The site is aimed at eligible, professional people who want an exclusive and private environment where they can date and socialize with likeminded people. It's a simple concept but it fills a major gap in the market. Our members demand something more exclusive than a standard dating site, but are typically not attracted to the so-called 'millionaire' or 'sugar daddy' sites (that are essentially aimed at matching beautiful young women with successful older men). Diamond Lounge has just as many successful and eligible women as men. It represents a modern and refined approach to elite online dating.

Not everybody can become member of this luxury dating site and your profile will be screened before you get the nod to be counted among the elite daters. The membership is expensive (at least for me) since it costs $40 per month and expect the fee to head north in the coming months when services and members increase. So if you have the money and desire for someone as prolific as you then Diamond Lounge is the best option for you at the moment!!
