Torque measuring device on the tailbar of No.5 Pressure Feeder viewed from underneath. Unsure whether it was a success or not!!
The Torque is a Jeep built completely from base by friend Amit Tomar.
The Torque has a 2100 CC Peugeot Engine, weighs 1 ton, has been built with all the best parts of every jeep and car to make it completely All Weather - All Terrain Vehicle.
Torque has a Snorkel Pipe on the left front side that enables it to be driven inside marshy areas with absolutely no worries of the water entering the engine.
Torque is made of All Terrain Tires which can be further enhanced with Tractor Tires too to make it look even more gigantic.
With a 4 Wheel Drive - Torque can rule in Desert, Rocky, Marshy and normal road conditions. The speed in Normal Road conditions can go upto 80-95 km/ hour without any shake or disturbance.
We had a 4 hour session of offroading and testing the stability of this vehicle in the beach sand.
Lofty Hall, the Godfather of British car mechanics, helping me put in a new headgasket (#2) in my 1971 MGB GT. Or rather I was helping him put it in by staying out of his way.
Lofty is turning 75 next week. He's been wrenching on British Cars much longer than I've been alive. A venerable encyclopedia when it comes to these vehicles!

2011 BMW Alpina B7 xDrive
The 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 found in a host of BMWs has been significantly improved to 500 horsepower (up by 100 hp over stock) and 516 pound-feet of torque (up by 66 pound-feet). The B7 is also more aerodynamic than your garden variety 7 Series, comes with zillion-spoke wheels (fine, twenty) and can hit 60 mph in 4.5 seconds. With the Alpina B7 xDrive, you can now toss AWD into that already frothy mix.
But the above stats aren't the crazy parts. It's the details that impress the most. For example, all four of the heavy-duty half shafts come out of the 7 Series High Security. The 60 to 0 mph braking distance is identical to a Porsche Turbo. That last bit is not an April Fools' joke, although it's somewhat mitigated by Alpina's saying, "that's cold braking distance." While not a stat per say, the AWD system is mechanically identical to other BMW xDrive systems, though Alpina has written their own software system, presumably for the better.
One last thing that's actually a little to complicated to explain: take a look at the center of the B7's wheel. You'll see that once you've slid the heraldry over, there's a keyhole. Now, if you zoom out, you'll notice no valve stems anywhere on the wheel. In other words, your tire pressure's locked in and can be adjusted to the tenth of a PSI. Pretty cool, no?
This school of art and design infused by the pioneering spirit has produced such illustrious media artists as Toshio Iwai (JP) and Maywa Denki (JP). Its history goes back over 30 years, and closely parallels Japan’s rise to preeminence as a technological nation. Plastic arts and mixed media, areas of artistic work and research taken completely for granted today, were opened up at Tsukuba through the establishment of corresponding courses of study. By combining competence in design and engineering, the University of Tsukuba has made a major contribution to the development and propagation of interactive technologies. Since 1996, Hiroo Iwata (JP) has been working in Tsukuba on using digital interface devices as means of artistic expression.
"Talk Torque-2" has been created by Hideaki Kuzuoka (JP), Ikkaku Kawaguchi (JP) and Toshimasa Yamanaka (JP).
