Ciudad Encantada, Cuenca, Castilla-La Mancha, España.
La Ciudad Encantada es un paraje natural español de formaciones rocosas calcáreas o calizas formadas a lo largo de miles de años. Se localiza cerca de Valdecabras, en el término municipal de Cuenca (España), en una amplia zona de pinares de la parte meridional de la serranía conquense y a una altitud de 1500 metros.
Fue declarada Sitio Natural de Interés Nacional el 11 de junio de 1929. La acción del agua, el viento y el hielo ha hecho posible este fenómeno kárstico. La heterogeneidad de las rocas en cuanto a su morfología, composición química y grado de dureza es lo que ha permitido el desgaste desigual de las mismas por los elementos atmosféricos, dando como resultado una muestra sorprendente de arte pintoresco proveniente de la misma naturaleza. A las caprichosas y espectaculares formaciones existentes hay que sumar lapiaces, torcas y sumideros.
Comparte estas características especialmente con "Los Callejones", paraje ubicado en el término municipal de Las Majadas. Ambos lugares forman parte del parque natural Serranía de Cuenca, creado mediante la Ley de la Comunidad Autónoma de Castilla-La Mancha 5/2007.
The Enchanted City is a Spanish natural area of calcareous or limestone rock formations formed over thousands of years. It is located near Valdecabras, in the municipality of Cuenca (Spain), in a wide area of pine forests in the southern part of the Cuenca mountains and at an altitude of 1,500 meters.
It was declared a Natural Site of National Interest on June 11, 1929. The action of water, wind and ice has made this karstic phenomenon possible. The heterogeneity of the rocks in terms of their morphology, chemical composition and degree of hardness is what has allowed their uneven wear by atmospheric elements, resulting in a surprising sample of picturesque art from nature itself. To the whimsical and spectacular existing formations we must add lapiaces, torques and sinkholes.
It shares these characteristics especially with "Los Callejones", a place located in the municipality of Las Majadas. Both places are part of the Serranía de Cuenca Natural Park, created by the Law of the Autonomous Community of Castilla-La Mancha 5/2007.

Now, for you motorheads out there, here is the "nitty gritty" on this massive engine! Remember, the Duesenberg brothers were engine builders before they became car builders, and many of the engines they built were race motors. So, they knew what they were doing when it came to building motors! Not all motors need to be photographed, but this one screams out to be! Like the car, it is a true work of art!
The 1930 Duesenberg Model J engine is a massive straight-eight engine featuring a 420 cubic-inch displacement, twin overhead camshafts, and 265 horsepower.
Engine Design & Layout Configuration: Inline 8-cylinder (straight-8), front-engine, rear-wheel drive.
Displacement: 420 cu in (6,883 cc / 6.9 L). Bore and Stroke: 3.8 in × 4.7 in (95 mm × 119 mm). Block Material: Cast-iron block and head.
Main Bearings: 5 main bearings.
Performance & Power Horsepower: 265 bhp @ 4,200 rpm.'
Torque: 374 lb-ft (507 Nm) @ 2,000 rpm.
Compression Ratio: 5.20:1.
Top Speed: Approximately 116 mph (standard model).Valvetrain
FuelValvetrain: Dual overhead cams (DOHC) with 32 valves total (4 valves per cylinder).
Carburetor: Schebler updraft/downdraft setup.
Transmission: 3-speed manual (Warner Gear / Warner Hy-Flew).
Original 1930 Costs
Chassis Only: $8,500 for the raw engineering, straight-eight engine, and frame straight from the factory.
Custom Coachwork: $4,500 to $10,500 extra for bespoke bodies built by elite designers like Murphy, LeBaron, or Derham.
Let me start by saying all Alvis cars were custom bodied. Alvis would only supply the rolling chassis complete with engine and drivetrain along with other chassis components. This lovely blue Alvis Three Litre Series III drophead coupé, also known as TE 21, is an automobile produced by English manufacturer Alvis between 1963 and 1966 with a body built by Mulliner Park Ward.
The 1963 Alvis TE21, powered by a 2993 cc overhead valve inline 6 cylinder engine, produced 130 bhp (97 kW) at 4000 rpm with 172 ft-lbs torque. This provided the car with a top speed of 107 mph (172 km/h). The TE21 also featured a 12.0-second 0-60 mph time.

Special:
- The number 98 indicates the rank of the vehicle within the brand. Models that are lower in rank were thus given a lower number, such as the Oldsmobile 76 and 88. The 98 is the top car Oldsmobile.
- The Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight Series corresponded to size and prestige moderate the luxury model of its sister brand Buick and was, along with the Buick Electra, second only to the models of the luxury brand Cadillac.
- This sixth generation Ninety-Eight (1959-1960) was completely redesigned by Bill Mitchell, calling it the “Linear Look”.
- A ’60 model Ninety-Eight was Pace Car in Indianapolis at the races in 1960.
- The 1960 Ninety-Eight Series was available as this 4-door Celebrity Sedan, as 4-door 3839 Holiday Hardtop Sedan (27,286 units built), as 2-door 3837 Holiday Hartop Coupé (7,654 units built) and as 2-door 3867 Convertible Coupé (7,286 units built).
- The were assembled at GM factory plants in South Gate (California), Wilmington (Delaware), Atlanta (Georgia), Kansas City (Kansas), Framingham (Massachusetts), Lansing (Michigan), Linden (New Jersey) and Arlington (Texas).
Tracts of desert land are sold cheaply in 5- or 10-acre allotments. People dreaming of creating a life far from the modern world tend to build cheap/quick boxes on them - a tiny square on a larger square in a desolate landscape, just the way they dreamed it. But desert life is hard, and it seldom works out. Driving through Twentynine Palms and Wonder Valley, I spotted more abandoned homesteader shacks than occupied ones, and pulled over to record the ones I could (almost getting stuck in the sand at one point - thanks for your torque, reverse gear).
I'm not as familiar with American Motors as I am other brands, but I can tell you this one boasts a 390 cubic inch engine with 315 horses raring to the point of 425 foot-pounds of torque, with three on the tree. So while it's not entirely my style, I also might not turn it down. ;)
Flight safety is enhanced through the use of torque paint (aka, torque seal, torque stripe, indicator paint, tamper paint, ...) which is a quick drying brittle paint applied to certain critical parts such as push-rods or propeller bolts.
After the part is properly tightened, the mechanic applies a dab of paint indicating the step is completed. At each pre-flight the connections are checked. Any movement or loosening will cause the paint to crack and flake off indicating there is a mechanical problem impacting safety.
2:1 reproduction ratio - 18mm edge to edge.
For the Macro Monday theme of measurement I have chosen a torque wrench with a 3mm and 5mm socket - this is a wrench for by bikes both road and mountain bike as on a carbon frame it is important you measure the force you apply when tightening bolts or fixings.

Special:
- Citroën introduced the 2CV SPOT (“Special Production Orange Ténéré”) on April 10th, 1976, to celebrate a major milestone: it had built five million 2CV and 2CV-based cars since 1948.
- The SPOT, based on the entry-level 2CV4, marked a milestone of its own because it was the first limited-edition model offered by Citroën and, broadly speaking, one of the first limited-edition French cars.
- The SPOT two-tone orange / white colour scene and fitted with chromed hubcaps similar to the ones seen on well-equipped Dyane and Ami 8 models, was designed by Serge Gevin.
- The orange and white theme continued in the cabin, where the door panels were upholstered with two-tone cloth upholstery and the seats were wrapped in orange cloth.
- The dashboard and the steering wheel were both brown, which created a rather odd contrast with the otherwise bright and lively cockpit.
- No options were offered, but the SPOT came standard with the individual front seats that were available at an extra cost on the regular 2CV4.
- The first Series SPOT that were built for the French market, sold out almost immediately.
- The second export Series, available late 1976, had a black steering wheel and brown dashboard, also sold out quickly.
- In Switzerland and Great Britain (RHD) the SPOT was only available as 2CV6, so with the 602cc engine.
- In Switzerland, a unique number is placed on the front door of the SPOT’s.
- Its success encouraged Citroën to launch other limited-edition 2CV's including the France 3, the Dolly and the famed Charleston, to name a few.
- There are about 15 original survivors.
