The Lotus Esprit was a sports car built by Lotus in the United Kingdom between 1976 and 2004, including a future release in 2013. The silver Italdesign concept that eventually became the Esprit was unveiled at the Turin Motor Show in 1972, and was a development of a stretched Lotus Europa chassis.
In 1993, an exterior and interior revamp of the car resulted in the S4 which was the first model to include power steering. The exterior redesign was done by Julian Thompson, which included a smaller rear spoiler placed halfway up the rear decklid. Other major changes were to the front and rear bumpers, side skirts and valence panels. New five spoke alloy wheels were also included in the redesign. The S4 retained the same horsepower as the SE at 264 hp.
The 1995 Esprit is considered by many as the most desirable and collectable model as it was the last and most powerful 4 cylinder engine prior to the introduction of the heavier V8 Esprit in 1997.
SCCFD30C6SHF61397: Wonderfully presented with less than 37,000 original miles, this Esprit has certainly been cared for over the years.
The S4’s black Magnolia Connolly leather interior with carbon fiber trim and red piping, shows minimal signs of wear, with no tearing or scuffing of the carpet. An amplified high-end Alpine stereo system with iPod control has been installed in the car.
The glossy Calypso Red exterior finish exhibits minor chips and blemishes throughout, yet still shows quite beautifully.
The lotus is accompanied by its factory original floor mats, car cover, tool kit, and owner’s manual. Recent service receipts are also included.
With a 0-60 time of 4.7 seconds, top speed of 170 mph and sublime handling, this car vividly boasts the looks and performance of a high end exotic at a fraction of the cost!
* A low mileage example with clean CarFax!
* Striking looks coupled with high performance!
* Original accessories included!

The Westland WS-51 Dragonfly is a licenced version of the Sikorsky S-51 after Westland acquired the license rights to the Sikorsky S-51 in 1947. It was replaced in British service by the Westland Whirlwind (itself a licenced built Sikorsky S-55). This HR.5 example (WG724) was 'rescued' from a processing yard in 1974. Its latest restoration was complete in summer 2008. Westland also made a private venture improvement on the Westland WS-51 Dragonfly called the Widgeon (also at this museum).

Right exactly the time when i focus my lens to this working man, 1 of his companion sarcastically stop me, whew.... i just have patience to remain calm nor panic of his reaction, will maybe its because he is a camera shy or something or maybe he's just protecting his companion to become badly exploited; are we exploiting them? flickristas? i guess nothing's wrong on taking pics, coz we're not doing something that can makes harmful to our fellow human being. i just calmly explained to them that i am taking pics for good, and there's nothing to be worried coz in the first place we are inside of the company compound, and besides there will be no other photographers can be take photos inside of the campus if without permission from the management. after all they understand and they let me take photo of what they are doing. whew... it is so hard doing streetphotography.

British automaker details V12 Vanquish convertible, which churns 509 horsepower, comes standard with stickshift and costs $233,340.
Aston Martin has dropped the details of its new V12 Vantage roadster, and the news is good. The new convertible will boast 509 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque from Aston's signature 6-liter engine.
The roadster shares many of the technical features and specifications from the hardtop version, though some elements had to be changed to accommodate the folding soft top. Among those changes are a redesigned trunk lid with a more pronounced lip for stability at speed and a lower front air intake.
At 3,880 pounds, the V12 Vantage roadster comes in at about 180 pounds heavier than the hardtop.
Carbon-fiber accents are used liberally on the new convertible, which also gets a set of newly designed 19-inch forged alloy wheels. (Photo: Aston Martin)
Under the sheet metal, the V12 Vantage roadster has a modified rear damper setup, new front and rear damper tuning and a new rear-spring design. Aston Martin says that these changes, along with the use of Pirelli P Zero Corsa tires, ensure that the roadster will handle and drive per Aston tradition.
Outside, the Vantage roadster makes liberal use of carbon-fiber accents on the side strakes, front splitter, rear diffuser, mirror caps and rear lamp surrounds. It also boasts a set of newly designed forged-alloy wheels inside 19-inch tires.
Occupants of the cabin will see new glass switches in the lower center stack, as well as carbon-fiber accents around the fascia and the stick shift.
That's right – stick shift. Buyers will be able to row their own gears in the V12 roadster, as it comes standard with the company's oversized shifter and rear-mounted gearbox which helps manage weight balance. A limited-slip differential is also standard, enabling the car to get from 0 to 62 mph in 4.5 seconds, on its way to a terminal velocity of 190 mph.
Also new to the V12 Vantage and Vantage roadster is the engine's sport button, which is said to offer sharper throttle response, with the engine delivering more torque early in the rev range. Exhaust flaps are also kept open longer, creating the sporty sound for which Astons are known.
In normal mode, the car has a more relaxed throttle response and a quieter exhaust note, as if someone would want that.
Prices will start at $233,340, converted from British pounds, so get that piggy bank out and start rolling quarters.
All helicopters have something like this except for the ones that don't :-)
Ie Chinook, machines with NOTAR (systems that use a fan)
Needed to send my Park Torque Wrench back in to be recalibrated and a bit of service but that meant a new Torque Wrench. This one should fit the bill...
Calum managed to get the small drain open on the torque converter and drain the oil from the unit. We catch all our waste oil and its disposed of by the museum to a company that recycles it.

tight clearance between bayonet connectors and torque arm QR unit necessitated repositioning. it's tight, clearancewise between this and your foot, but it clears.
Shawn Langdon demonstrates how much torque an 8,000HP engine can put on a set of Good Year slicks during a test run at Lucas Oil Raceway.
Incredible workmanship! Gold torques buried around 100BC in Snettisham, Norfolk. High status symbols from pre-Roman Britain. Who dares say that the Roman invaders brought art and culture to Britain?
