I love this rear-engined, air-cooled, ultra-exclusive restomod - because it's not what you think...
Have you seen the Twisted TBug? Twisted, the friendly, Yorkshire-based modifier of classic Land Rover Defenders (and now owner of a marine division as well), has started offering a Volkswagen Beetle Baja Bug restomod too. (If it starts doing Hillman Imps, our respective garages will look even more alike.) Unsurprisingly, the TBug looks somewhat nicer than my Baja Bug, because Twisted are people who are used to doing things properly. The interior looks trimmed beautifully, the stance is just so (I'm tempted to have a word with the front end of mine and a grinder) and there's a reinforced chassis, a new engine, new electrics and LED lights that don't look daft. The power output has been about doubled over the original, but it's still making less than 80bhp, so it isn't a fast car – but that doesn't matter a bit. 'What makes the TBug special is that it makes you smile every time you slide behind the wheel,' says Twisted founder Charles Fawcett. 'In a world of increasingly serious and complex vehicles, there's something wonderfully refreshing about that.' As they might have said in the 1970s, I can dig that. Unlike Twisted Defenders and Suzuki Jimnys, this car exists in the 'special projects' bit of the company's offerings. Lots of personalisation and customisation is on offer and it's the sort of thing you could get lost for days in with the designers – although Twisted has made three for sale already to its thinking, in grey, green and yellow. You can spend around £95,000.

UTP Cat6 Cable Prices in Pakistan: Best Deals
When it comes to setting up a reliable network, choosing the right cables is crucial. In Pakistan, UTP Cat6 cables are popular for their performance and affordability. These cables are ideal for home and office networks, offering excellent data transfer speeds and stable connections. In this article, we'll guide you through the best deals on UTP Cat6 cables in Pakistan, exploring prices, features, and where to buy them. Before diving into prices, let's understand what UTP Cat6 cables are and why they are a great choice. UTP stands for Unshielded Twisted Pair, which means the cable doesn't have additional shielding. This makes it lighter and more flexible, which is perfect for typical home and office environments. Cat6 cables are an improvement over Cat5 and Cat5e cables, supporting higher data transfer speeds and bandwidth. They are capable of transmitting data at up to 1 gigabit per second (Gbps) over 100 meters and can support 10 Gbps for shorter distances. This makes them suitable for high-speed internet, video streaming, and other bandwidth-intensive applications. Several factors influence the cost of UTP Cat6 cables in Pakistan: Cable length is a primary factor. A longer cable will naturally cost more because it uses more material. Typically, UTP Cat6 cables are available in lengths ranging from 1 meter to 305 meters. The price can also vary depending on the brand and quality of the cable. Renowned brands often charge more due to their reputation for quality and reliability. However, there are also many local brands offering competitive prices without compromising much on quality. While UTP cables do not have external shielding, the quality of the internal insulation can affect the price. Better insulation ensures less interference and a more stable connection, which might cost a little extra. Now, let's compare the prices of UTP Cat6 cables across different lengths and brands available in Pakistan. For short connections, such as connecting a computer to a nearby router, 1-10 meter cables are ideal. These are usually priced between PKR 100 to PKR 300, depending on the brand and quality. Medium-length cables are perfect for slightly longer distances, such as connecting devices in different rooms. Prices for these cables range from PKR 500 to PKR 1,500. For extensive network setups, like in offices or larger homes, long cables are necessary. These can range from PKR 2,000 to PKR 8,000, again depending on the brand and the quality of the insulation. Pakistan's online marketplaces, such as Litech, and Shophive, offer a wide range of UTP Cat6 cables. These platforms often provide discounts and deals, especially during sales events. Visiting local electronics markets can also be a good option. Places like Hafeez Center in Lahore or Techno City in Karachi are known for their variety and competitive prices. You might even get a chance to negotiate the price. For bulk purchases, consider contacting wholesale suppliers. They often provide significant discounts on large orders, which is beneficial for businesses setting up new offices. Before purchasing, assess your network needs. If you're setting up a high-speed network for gaming or streaming, ensure the cable supports the necessary bandwidth. Ensure the cable is compatible with your devices. Most modern routers and network switches support Cat6, but it's always good to double-check. Choose cables with quality assurance certifications, such as ISO/IEC or TIA/EIA. These certifications ensure the cable meets international standards for performance and safety. Choosing the right UTP Cat6 cable in Pakistan doesn't have to be complicated. By understanding the factors affecting prices and knowing where to look, you can find the best deals to suit your needs. Whether you're setting up a simple home network or a more complex office system, investing in quality cables will ensure a stable and efficient connection. Remember, while price is important, the quality and reliability of your network infrastructure should never be compromised. Happy networking! TIME BUSINESS NEWS

Blumhouse in Talks to Buy "Saw" Franchise from Twisted Pictures
Yara Sameh Blumhouse is in talks to acquire part of the long-running horror franchise 'Saw'. Blumhouse is in the midst of a deal to take over the ownership stake of Saw from Twisted Pictures, the banner run by Oren Koules and Mark Burg. Twisted co-owns the rights with Lionsgate, which has distributed the films since releasing the first film in 2004. If a deal is made, it would bring the franchise back into the hands of James Wan, the filmmaker who directed that movie and created the franchise with co-writer Leigh Whannell. Blumhouse, run by Jason Blum, merged with Wan's production banner, Atomic Monster, in early January 2024. The talks between Blumhouse and Twisted began last year but broke down earlier this year. A sale price was one of the big sticking points. Made for only $1.2 million, Saw became one of the most profitable horror movies of all time when it opened to $18.2 million domestically and earned $104 million worldwide. Home entertainment was equally massive (this was the DVD era, after all) and a franchise, that encompassed 10 movies as well as merchandising, video games, and more, followed. The last entry in the franchise, 'Saw X' was released in 2023 and earned $112.2 million worldwide. An 11th movie was in the works but stalled out. While it is unclear what the plans for any new stories would entail — more movies? a series? — but the deal is the latest in a growing number that have creatives or filmmakers own, partially or entirely, their creations. Koules and Burg reportedly financed most of Saw's budget after first seeing Wan and Whannel's short film. Wan, off the success of Saw, went on to create or co-create the Insidious horror franchise and The Conjuring horror universe.
