The very first Daimler Fleetline bus completed was 7000HP. The vehicle was painted into the then Birmingham City Transport colours, and used as a demonstrator vehicle. The picture, a rare publicity photograph shows the vehicle in Broadgate, Coventry when new in 1960.
The bus was clearly intended to impress Birmingham City Transport, which it did, as BCT went on to order large numbers of the type. It is understood that BCT had reserved the registration 3229VP for the vehicle, but Daimler decided to register it in Coventry, and so it became 7000HP.
7000HP was fitted with three very different types of engine during its life. It originally sported a CD6 Daimler oil engine from new, but in 1962 this was replaced with a more traditional Gardner 6LX oil engine. However, the Gardner unit was removed in the 1960s and a Cummins V6-200 series engine was fitted in its place, this it carried to the end.
By a strange twist of fate, both the first and last Fleetlines built were both destroyed by fire:
7000 HP, which had passed to Blue Bus Services (Tailby & George) of Willington and later to Derby Borough Transport, was destroyed in a fire at the former Blue Bus, Willington depot on 5 January 1976.
The last-built chassis, former South Notts ECW-bodied SCH 117X, was destroyed in a fire at the Nottingham Transport Heritage Centre on 21 February 2007, after it had been bought by preservationists.
Here's a link to some old news reel footage that features 7000HP, the bus looks to be outside of Lea Hall Garage, but I stand to be corrected. www.macearchive.org/Archive/Title/midland-montage-2212196...
One of the things about our Statewide Mutual Aid system is that you never know where you might end up. With many large fires burning in Northern California in late July 2015, a Strike Team of Type III Engines was dispatched from Orange County to Northern California.
With the Santa Clara County Fire Department Type III Engines making up a Strike Team and working a fire near Lake Berryessa, and two more Strike Teams of Type III engines from CalFire's Santa Clara Unit working fires to our north, resources were a little low around here.
The Orange County Strike Team was assigned to Cal Fire's Santa Clara Unit to provide coverage. Two of their engines had been working a fire in the hills above Saratoga on Friday evening and again on Saturday.
Which brings us to this unusual site... on Saturday afternoon, an Orange County Type III Wildland Engine (Engine 356) sitting on the apron at Saratoga Fire Station!

Only 1359 Ford Mustang Boss 429 models were built for NASCAR homologation of the enormous engine you see here. It wasn't raced in a Mustang, but in a Torino Talladega; but Ford (possibly correctly) figured it would sell better in a Mustang on the street. The enormous heads meant the engine wouldn't fit in a Mustang without serious modification; the front wheels were moved wider so that the suspension towers would clear. Ford did tame down the engine for the street; possibly too much, making the Boss 429 Mustang in stock form generally slower than some other models. A little modification, though, in the direction of racing form, and it's a fire-breather.
A good car with this engine is worth in excess of $100,000. So many people surrounded this one at Donut Derelicts that I couldn't get a good shot of the car, so I contented myself with a shot of the engine that in racing form ate Hemis for breakfast.
