Lewis Hamilton's car breaks down after secret meeting with Nicole
He may have 740 hp of hardcore power at his feet at the weekend, but Lewis Hamilton is just a softie at heart.
A reconciliation between himself and ex-girlfriend Nicole Scherzigner was secretly completed last night but he was caught out after his Mercedes getaway car broke down.
He was photographed by a cameraman cradling his beloved dog Roscoe after a seven hour meeting with Nicole. After trying to jumpstart the car, he then had to call in a mechanic to get it back on the road.

Geigercars Camaro LS9 17.10.2013
The quarter million dollar Camaro
The Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 already puts up some impressive numbers but that hasn't stopped Geigercars from introducing a new tuning program for the American muscle car.
Billed as the "perfect driving machine," the Camaro LS9 features a revised grille, racing-inspired tow hooks and 19- / 20-inch Goysar wheels with Michelin Cup tires. The model also has a sports exhaust system, a KW racing suspension and a beefier rear axle.
Under the hood, the supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine has been equipped with new pistons, upgraded camshafts and a new crankshaft. The company also installs a larger intercooler and optimized cylinder heads. Thanks to these modifications, the engine develops 780 HP (574 kW) and 984 Nm (725 lb-ft) of torque. This allows the coupe to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 3.7 seconds, hit a top speed of 338 km/h (210 mph) and run the quarter mile in 11.9 seconds.
The conversion costs €138,090 ($188,670) which brings the cost of the whole vehicle up to €189,000 ($258,230).

BMW 4-Series Convertible 2014
BMW has revealed the next extension of the BMW 4-Series, the BMW 4-Series Convertible, with new standards in terms of dynamics, elegance and extraordinary driving pleasure. The BMW 4-Series Convertible sets itself apart from its BMW 3-Series cousins through a number of distinguishing technical features.
The 4-Series Convertible is slightly longer and wider than its predecessor, still is up to 44 pounds lighter thanks to use of thinner, high-strength steel in the body, and aluminum in various chassis components.
The BMW 4-Series Convertible expresses more dynamic conviction and sportiness due to the double-kidney grille, optional adaptive full-LED twin headlights, twin circular headlights and the large air intakes in the front apron. The hardtop of the BMW 4-Series Convertible features a number of design improvements that reduce noise levels for a much quieter interior ambience. It takes a push of a button to transform the dynamic coupe into an elegant athletic convertible within 20 seconds.
The interior of the BMW 4-Series Convertible presents a stylish fusion of sporty allure, elegance and exclusivity. All of the controls are arranged ergonomically around the driver to provide optimum access to all functions. A sports steering wheel, crystal-clear circular instruments in black panel look and the freestanding, flatscreen iDrive monitor, the iDrive Touch Controller underline the sense of functional elegance.
The BMW 4-Series Convertible comes with an in-line six-cylinder petrol engine (BMW 435i Convertible), a four-cylinder petrol engine (BMW 428i Convertible) and a four-cylinder diesel (BMW 420d Convertible). These engines cover the performance range from 135 kW/184 hp to 225 kW/306 hp and feature the latest BMW TwinPower Turbo technology. The power from the engines is sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox as standard.
