I went to Milan Dragway with my wife and a few friends yesterday - it was a beautiful day for the races. I shot this particular image as a car was leaving the line - love how the grip from tire to track makes the tire wrinkle up as they accelerate.
When turned, the spiraled form of a drill bit directs energy into local shear forces causing a material to fracture in a controlled and specific way.

Special:
- The Plymouth automobile was introduced on July 7, 1928. It was the Chrysler Corporation's first entry in the low-priced field, which at the time was dominated by Chevrolet and Ford.
- The logo featured a rear view of the Mayflower ship which landed at Plymouth Rock, hence the name "Plymouth" as the brand.
- The origins of the first Plymouth can be traced back to the Maxwell automobile. When Walter Chrysler took over control of the trouble-ridden Maxwell-Chalmers car company in the early 1920's, he inherited the Maxwell as part of the package. After he used the company's facilities to help create and launch the Chrysler car in 1924, he decided to create a lower-priced companion car. So for 1926 the Maxwell was reworked and re-badged as a low-end Chrysler model. Then at the end of the decade this model was once again reworked and re-badged, this time to create the Plymouth.
- The word "fury" denotes a type of anger, inspired by the Furies, mythological creatures in Ancient Greek and Ancient Roman mythology.
- From 1960 the name Fury was no longer used for the original Sports Sedans, but for the most exclusive line Plymouth's. The successors of the original type Fury were called Sport Fury since then.
- The 1961 Fury V8 Series RP2-H, with a reskin “below-the-beltline” and its pinched aluminum grille, was available as this 2-door Convertible, as 2-door Hardtop (16,141 units built), as 4-door Hardtop (8,507 units built) and as 4-door Sedan (22,619 units built).
- This second generation mid-sized Fury’s (1960-1961), designed by Virgil Exner, were assembled in Detroit, Michigan (Lynch Road) and in Windsor, Ontario (Canada).

Another young dreadnok prospect, Torque fits right with the gang, with the exception of his love for speed bikes, which they often mock him for.
Now I'm on bit of a dreadnok kick again.
BEFORE YOU BUY
Each product is hand made so do expect slight variances in build, torque and paintwork. This is because the Star Gate is not ready to bring robots from the future to work on production.
If you are ordering on our online store, do not use Hotmail, QQ, Yahoo.com, Yahoo.co.jp as our mails to you get bounced for some reason.
Miho is not a limited edition and won't be for at least a year. However, due to our production capacity, it may be the case that you will have to wait a while before we can send out your Miho depending on how fast (or slow) you was on proceeding to checkout.
We will start to display Miho at Mirai Store Tokyo from 17th October - come to see the actual product before you buy.
If there are any changes to the schedule or product then I will announce it on our Twitter account - pls follow if you want updates.

Lots of parts (like those awful lower arms) are really iffy and just goes to show you how much I had to rush to get this is.
Also hate the head, but it had to be human-like.
