The Rover 100 was introduced in 1960 as part of a shrinking P4 range, replacing both the Rover 90 and 105. It was powered by a more powerful 2.6 litre short-stroke version of the P5 3-Litre unit. And was capable of 100mph. The interior was luxurious, with wood and leather accents on traditional English car elements. like a curved "Shepherds Crook" handbrake lever. A bench front seat or individual front seats could be ordered. A heater was a standard fitting. Like the smaller 80 version, the 100 was fitted with servo-assisted Girling disc brakes at the front, keeping drum brakes at the rear. Overdrive, on top gear only, was a standard fitting.
Production ended in 1962..

Era da tempo che non mi avvicinavo così tanto ad un palco.
Era da tempo che non mi eclissavo dietro ad un assolo di chitarra o ad un riff di basso.
Io ero lì. O almeno credo...un crescendo, sempre più rapido, sempre più intenso...le mani diventano fredde, l'aria diventa fredda...
...L'odore dei fumi, gli strilli degli strumenti, i musicisti in estasi. Quasi un orgasmo.
Poi la tastiera ti risucchia via , lontanissimo...quel riff ipnotico, di una chitarra... Ed io ero ancora lì, o almeno credo. Ora si lamentano, si contorcono, la musica sembra fluida, liquida, inconsistente..
In lontananza.. il tintinnio di una batteria, ti sveglia. Un sussulto, ho quasi paura, è come sentirsi nudi.
Nudi in un teatro. Anzi, no. è proprio come non avere più corpo.
All models for 1988 shared a 305 c.i. V-8, 4-speed overdrive automatic transmission, power steering, and power front disc brakes (rear drum).
A very well respected Haulier in the West Midlands was D.J. Ponsonby who ran Volvo and Scania products with this distinctive blue and white livery till the operator went bust around 2000. The old yard is now home to Attain Travel who i have heard on the line have finished ( just waiting for confirmation on that one ) . Mike and Paul Ponsonby took over the operation from their dad, the D.J part of the name. Both set back up in separate business's a few years ago. L12DJP was a Volvo FH12 - 340 4X2 From the original fleet and unusually for the firm is to base specification....Not My Photo.
It was a strange day today, in the way I was feeling. I have been full of enthusiasm for doing land art all week, with Escher's land art enthusiams going into overdrive it made for us both wanting to get out there!
It was a long day at work yesterday, so this morning waking up at 5am through no choice of my own did not put me in a great frame of mind. But I had decided to do some land art no matter what and sometimes just being out there and searching for whatever I intend to use puts you in a better frame of mind. But after three cups of tea and a wander around I found it difficult to muster the energy. After what was about 5 hours I eventually got round to making this little leaf spiral. It is so difficult when you can't seem to get the artistic juices flowing and now while sat at home I can think of lots of things to create! Ho hum!!
Though the artistic flow was eluding me it was a lovely day and the huge amount of insects that came to see me was amazing, blue beetles, spiders (eek) woodlice etc, but the most exciting was a tiny tiny frog, smaller than a currant, I found him while on my knees looking for Ash tree seeds!
Smoke from SF Belt 25 drifts southward and Nick rolls hoppers by the switch as I hide from the light in front of a cold Kenworth. San Francisco in the 6am hour.
Im thinking about making a custom of my sunset overdrive character... I think it would be badass. Also not dead, sorry for lack of activity again... Kinda just been all over the place lately.. So. Yeah.
Last night, when the moons slipped below the horizon, the stars were tremendous! I took a drove outside of the city to capture some stars, man, were there the stars!
Maybach has historic roots through the involvement of Wilhelm Maybach, who was the technical director of the Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft (DMG) until he left in 1907. On 23 March 1909 he founded the new company, Luftfahrzeug-Motorenbau GmbH (literally "Aircraft Engine Building Company"), with his son Karl Maybach as director. In 1912 they renamed it to Maybach-Motorenbau GmbH ("Maybach Engine Construction Company"). The company originally developed and manufactured diesel and petrol engines for Zeppelins, and then rail cars. The Maybach Mb.IVa was used in aircraft and airships of World War I.

The company first built an experimental car in 1919, with the first production model introduced two years later at the Berlin Motor Show. Between 1921 and 1940, the company produced various classic opulent vehicles. The company also continued to build heavy duty diesel engines for marine and rail purposes. During the second world war, Maybach produced the engines for Nazi Germany's medium and heavy tanks.
After WW II the factory performed some repair work, but automotive production was never restarted, and some 20 years later, the company was renamed MTU Friedrichshafen. Daimler-Benz purchased the company in 1960.

Der erste Maybach von 1919 war ein Prototyp, der „Wagen“ W 1, aufgebaut auf ein angekauftes Daimler-Chassis. Er trug schon die charakteristische Kühlermaske. W 2 war ein Motor. Der W 3 war 1921 der erste Serienwagen, mit Sechszylinder-Reihenmotor und angeblocktem Planetengetriebe, im Angebot als Typ 22/70 PS. Die erste Zahl bezeichnet die früheren „Steuer-PS“, eine vom Fiskus seit 1909 aus Leistung und Hubraum errechnete Kennzahl; die zweite die Motorenleistung.
1926 folgte W 5 als Typ 27/120 PS, der 1928 ein Schnellgang-Getriebe erhielt und daher W 5 SG hieß. 1930 kam, parallel zum „Zeppelin“, der W 6, den es ab 1934 auch mit Doppel-Schnellgang-Getriebe gab und so als W 6 DSG in den Annalen steht. Die Weiterentwicklung von 1934 war ein DSH, ein „Doppel-Sechs-Halbe“, was auf den 130 PS starken 5,2-Liter-Reihensechszylinder hinwies, eine vom „DS“-Zwölfzylinder abgeleitete, einfachere Konstruktion.
Die Zeppelin-DS-Modelle, von Karl Maybach 1930 erstmals offeriert und ab 1931 geliefert, gab es als Typen DS 7 und DS 8. Es waren die ersten Modelle von Maybach mit einem V-12-Motor. DS 7 bedeutet Doppel-Sechs-7-Liter. DS 8 bedeutet Doppel-Sechs-8-Liter. Der DS 7 leistete 150 PS. Der DS 8 leistete 200 PS. Er war mit einem 7922 Kubikzentimeter großen Motor ausgerüstet. Die Aufbauten lieferten Spohn und Erdmann & Rossi. Im Vergleich zum 1931 gebauten Bugatti Royale Typ 41 mit einem Preis von 100.300 Reichsmark war die Karosserie vom Zeppelin DS 8 geradezu günstig: 33.200 Reichsmark.

Developed in collaboration with the Israeli motor company Autocars, the first Sabres appeared in 1961 as two-door convertibles, front-engined, rear-drive, with four-cylinder OHV Ford Consul (later "Zephyr 4") engines of 1,703 cc. They had front disc brakes, rack and pinion steering, and a ZF all-synchro gearbox. The front suspension was an unusual leading-arm set-up. Power output was 73 bhp (54 kW) giving at least 90 mph (140 km/h). The bodyshells were originally based upon the Ashley 1172 to which Reliant had acquired the rights. Coupés were introduced in June 1962,
An update to the original Sabre with a restyled front end, and for 1964 wishbone front suspension. 109bhp Ford engine with electric fan cooling, triple overdrive option and a ZF gearbox.

Another landscape from last summer's trip. It looks better large.
This is an image generated from a 5-exp HDR. Photomatix was cranked all the way up for one image and 'middle of the road' for a second image. The second image is used for the sky, while the first is used for the foreground.
We were here in early June, when the spring runoff is at its peak. At other times of the year, this river is much more docile and the water levels are quite a bit lower.
