First full monocoque chassis
During the 1960s Lotus cars gained a reputation for the use of innovative technology to gain an advantage over their competitors, and the Type 38 was no different. The first car to use a full monocoque, built upon the success of the Lotus 25 Formula One-championship-winning car to create a ground-breaking design. Powered by a Ford V8 fuel injected engine that gave out around 500 bhp. Jim Clark drove the car to victory at the 1965 Indianapolis.

1979 Porsche 930 Turbo
Chassis No. 9309800105
Ernst Fuhrmann adapted the turbo-technology originally developed for the 917/30 CAN-AM car to the 3.0 litre flat-six from the Carrera RS 3.0, and created what Porsche internally dubbed as 930. For the 1976 production year, a new model, called the "Turbo Carrera" was available (type 930, but officially titled "Turbo Carrera"). The car was a 911, but a very special one. It was turbocharged. This new model had the 3.0 liter engine, modified suspension, fender flares, and the most well-known trademark of all, the whaletail. It developed 234 hp and 246 lb-ft torque. It could go from 0-60 in 6.7 seconds, and cruise to 156 mph. The car was fast, powerful, and extremely tail-happy.
However, the 1976/77 Turbo Carrera was simply an intro to the "big" 930, of the 1978 model. In 2 years of further development, the car was upgraded into a 3.3 liter, intercooled, turbocharged monster that could go from 0-60 in 4.9 seconds, and allow the speedo needle to soar past the 165 mark. The 930 was now just titled "Turbo" on the rear deck lid. Sadly, 1979 was the last year for the 930 in America. The 930 was discontinued in the US due mainly to emissions requirements.
With only 59,000 original miles, this Turbo remains in fantastic survivor condition. The entire interior is very much original, including the factory radio and working sunroof! The car has had a quality re-spray over the years, and shines quite well. All exterior rubber and plastic is solid and free of dry rot, including the tires. Mechanically the car is very strong, the engine pulls as it should, and the turbo spools up very nicely. A truly preserved example!
· Last year production 930!
· Only 59,000 original miles!
· A beautiful survivor!
Only: $35,250.00!!

Edited NASA image of an X-38 flying over the clouds. See caption for lots of good information.
Original caption: The X-38, a research vehicle built to help develop technology for an emergency Crew Return Vehicle (CRV), descends under its steerable parachute during a July 1999 test flight at the Dryden Flight Research Center, Edwards, California. It was the fourth free flight of the test vehicles in the X-38 program, and the second free flight test of Vehicle 132 or Ship 2. The goal of this flight was to release the vehicle from a higher altitude (31,500 feet) and to fly the vehicle longer (31 seconds) than any previous X-38 vehicle had yet flown. The project team also conducted aerodynamic verification maneuvers and checked improvements made to the drogue parachute. The X-38 Crew Return Vehicle (CRV) research project is designed to develop the technology for a prototype emergency crew return vehicle, or lifeboat, for the International Space Station. The project is also intended to develop a crew return vehicle design that could be modified for other uses, such as a joint U.S. and international human spacecraft that could be launched on the French Ariane-5 Booster. The X-38 project is using available technology and off-the- shelf equipment to significantly decrease development costs.
Prima di tutto, vorrei ringraziare Nicolò per il suo aiuto con lo sfondo! Grazie mille ti voglio bene (:
Amo leggere. Di tutto, a meno che non siano libri noiosi.
Leggo da quando ero piccolina, il primo vero libro che ho letto è stato il Piccolo Principe.
Il Piccolo Principe insegna molte cose, tra cui il valore degli affetti.
A 7 anni ho cominciato a leggere Harry Potter, e l'ho inserito nella lista perchè mi ricordo che quando leggevo Harry Potter mi perdevo completamente (:
Il terzo libro della lista è Piccole Donne, un libro bellissimo che da piccola avrò letto almeno una decina di volte. Anche con questo libro mi perdevo, perchè mi piaceva l'idea di avere tante sorelle xD
Cuore, di Edmondo de Amicis, è un libro stupendo e da piccola (anche tutt'ora) lo considero un modello di un'altra epoca, migliore della nostra.
Il Mago di Oz mi piacque molto.. E l'ho messo nella lista a "simboleggiare" altri libri che leggevo in quel periodo, come la Bambina della Sesta Luna e altri..
Il Diario di Anna Frank non ho bisogno di dire perchè mi è piaciuto, è una storia unica e commovente, di una ragazza profonda e molto intelligente.
Le Sorelle Hunt è stupendo, è un racconto epistolare, cioè formato da lettere o e-mail che la protagonista manda. E' molto profondo e autoironico.
La Regina della Casa è davvero ironico, per questo mi piace, come tutti i libri di Sophie Kinsella, la mia scrittrice preferita proprio perchè è capace di fare dell'umorismo fantastico (:
(Le città invisibili). Lo metto tra parentesi perchè non è mio e non l'ho ancora letto. L'ho messo nella lista per "simboleggiare" altri tre capolavori di Italo Calvino, il mio scrittore preferito. Gli altri tre racconti sono raccolti in "I Nostri Antenati", il libro che preferisco tra i tre è "Il Visconte Dimezzato", perchè insegna molte cose senza dimenticare di divertire (:
Cell, di Stephen King, l'ho letto di recente e devo dire che mi è piaciuto, anche se libri del genere non li avevo mai letti. E' un po' inquietante comunque xD
Flox Sorride in Autunno è uno degli ultimi libri che ho letto, mi è piaciuto perchè mi ha fatto ricordare che essere bambini è stupendo, così come l'Amicizia. (:
Ecco la traduzione in inglese fatta con Google Translation xD
I love to read. All unless they are boring books.
I read when I was small, the first real book I read was The Little Prince.
The Little Prince teaches many things, including the value of affects.
At 7 years I started reading Harry Potter , and I put on the list because I remember when I was reading Harry Potter I completely lost (:
The third book in the list is Little Women , a beautiful book that a child will have read at least a dozen times. Even with this book I lose, because I liked the idea of having so many sisters xD
Heart , by Edmondo de Amicis, is a wonderful book and a child (even still) I consider a model of another era, better than ours.
The Wizard of Oz I liked .. And I put on the list to "symbolize" other books I read in that period, as the Children of the Sixth Moon and others ..
The Diary of Anne Frank I do not need to say why I liked it, is a unique and touching story of a girl deep and very intelligent.
Hunt Sisters is great, it is an epistolary novel, that is made up of letters or e-mail that sends the protagonist. It 'very deep and self-deprecating.
The Queen's House is really ironic, that's why I like it, like all books by Sophie Kinsella, my favorite writer because his humor is capable of doing great (:
( Invisible Cities ). I put in brackets because it is not mine and I have not read it yet. I put it in the list to "symbolize" the other three masterpieces by Italo Calvino, my favorite writer. The other three stories are collected in "our ancestors", the book I like best among the three is "The Cloven Viscount", because it teaches many things without forgetting to have fun (:
Cell , by Stephen King, I read recently and I must say that I liked, even though such books I had never read. It 'a bit' unsettling anyway xD
Flox smiles in Autumn is one of the last books I read, I liked it because it made me remember that being a child is wonderful, as well as friendship. (:

This is what I did today.. truth be told this was yesterday before my camera's batteries died. I hate not having my camera ready to shoot. This is the last night in Northern Colorado and I am headed back tomorrow so I will be able to charge my batteries and catch up on all that I missed this weekend!
The Lockheed P-38 Lightning was a World War II American fighter aircraft. Developed to a United States Army Air Corps requirement, the P-38 had distinctive twin booms and a single, central nacelle containing the cockpit and armament.

My eyes look so weird in this picture. But I don't care, it's amazing.
So, I had to work today for the first time in 4 days. Thia made us do shipment differently. I didn't really like it. But it did get done faster, so I guess it's alright. I just REALLY don't like her. I think she's the main reason I hate my job. But Josh gets back on Thursday, so it'll improve.
I hecka got a sunburn doing cardboard today. Actually pretty funny. But now it itches, and it sucks. But meh.
Anyway, my legs are tired, and I wanna make french fries. So... later.

Brett Ormerod Testamonial - Blackpool FC All Stars v Dave Challinors AFC Fylde Select - Sunday 28th Aug 2016 - before the match
My 8G flashdrive, named Jake, is the source of much happiness. It brings me music, movies, tv shows, books, photos, etc. I hate putting this out in the universe, but I have done a fantastic job of keeping up with such a small device that is used as frequently as it is. Watch me lose it tomorrow....
Today has been a long day. I updated viPhone last night around midnight, thinking it shouldn't take THAT long. By 2:30 AM, I gave up and went to sleep. I transferred my apps from the phone to iTunes, but I didn't think to back it up. As it updated, it said that it was backing up the phone as well. I didn't sync it because I don't really understand any of the terminology I just used. I've really tried to understand iTunes, but I just DON'T GET IT. I woke up this morning and the computer had gone to sleep as well and I guess that affected the update because everything was ERASED. GONE. GOOD BYE!
I planned to wake up around 9 AM because I told Anh I would make lunch for us to take to the movies (hah!!) but I woke up closer to 10 AM. Thong called to try to help me figure out that stuff but I didn't have time because I had to run to the store to pick up avocados because Anh mentioned she's been really into avocados lately so I wanted to make her something I knew she would enjoy. She was supposed to be at my house at 11 AM but she was running late, which was a good thing. I knew I didn't have time to make chicken salad so I just bought some. I hate that. I really wanted to make it from scratch. I learned this dish from Carrie's bridal shower - cut the avocados in half and remove the pit. Spread chicken salad in the pit and on top of the avocado. Sprinkle with diced tomatoes. So simple, but it feels so gourmet!! I also made us Greek yogurt with granola and blueberries. I packed it in a messenger bag and snuck it into the movie theater! She finally finished all six seasons of SATC so we went to see SATC2. Then she wanted to shop for "fun and flirty" dresses so we went shopping. Then I hit the cardio hard like Jillian Michaels says you should and yoga was the hardest class I've taken by far. I don't think I'm ready for P90X. Then I ate dinner and went over to Thong and Tam's house, with my trusty 8G flashdrive, so I could transfer the Wicked soundtrack and hopefully learn it all by 8 PM tomorrow. Luckily, they live about 6 minutes from me because on my way home, I realized I hadn't done my 365 for the day and it was 11:45 PM. I tried to think of something interesting but the only thing that came to mind was the flashdrive in my hand, so there you have it.
