BMC had produced the 3 litre MGC in 1967-69 but sales had been unimpressive, that car had received at best a mixed response as its 3 litre BMC C Series engine offered little or no performance benefit over the MGBs standard 1798cc four cylinder engine, and weighed some 209lbs heavier, which in turn resulted in new suspension, which changed the vehicles dynamic. The model was axed in 1969 after not surprisingly disappointing sales figures
The MGB V8 was introduced to address the Cs shortcomings, launched in 1973 the car was powered by the aluminium block 3,528 cc Rover V8 engine, from the Rover P6. Rather than being heavier than the iron blocked four cylinder 1800cc, the V8 with its aluminium cylinder block and heads, weighed some 40lbs less, with a significant increase in power and torque, and did not require any significant chassis changes.
Both chrome and rubber-bumpered GT versions of the V8-powered MGB were produced by the factory with production ending in 1976. The MGB V8 was never offered for sale in the USA, the Rover P6 had been withdrawn in 1971 in favour of the Rover 3500 SD1 which was not offered Stateside until 1980 by then with power sapping emission controls so that during the lifetime of the MGB GT V8 the engine was not being built in a federal version. MG did build seven LHD cars which were sent to the States to achieve certification, but these were brought back and sold in mainland Europe.

Figural and ornamental elements are suspended from the right, which also shows ten masks. The particularly striking feature is the three conical studs similar to those worn by the statue. They might all depict the same deceased.

A small part of an old, rusted train, where a rod has been snapped by time and torque. Based on how the rod works, I suspect it snapped from rotational movement of the rod around it's axis.
I like the texture of the metal, and the rusted paint in the background. Even metal eventually decays and breaks.

Pre-war Allard Specials
The first Allard cars were built specifically to compete in Trials events – timed rally-like events on terrain almost impassable by wheeled vehicles. The first Allard was powered by a Ford flathead V8 in a body mostly sourced from a Bugatti racer. It used the American engine's high torque to great effect in slow-speed competition.
Further Allards were soon built to order with a variety of large, Ford-sourced engines, including Lincoln-Zephyr V12 powerplants. By the outbreak of war in 1939 twelve Allard Specials had been built. Sydney Allard's planned volume production was pre-empted by work on Ford-based trucks during the conflict. By its end, Allard had built up a substantial inventory of Ford parts.
Post-war Models
Using its inventory of easy-to-service Ford mechanicals built up during World War II and bodywork of Allard's own design, three post-war models were introduced: the J, a competition sports car; the K, a slightly larger car intended for road use, and the four seater L. Sales were fairly brisk for a low-volume car, and demand was high for cars in general, which led to the introduction of several larger models, the drophead coupe M and P.
J2
J2; this very car was third overall at Le Mans 1950
Sydney Allard soon saw the potential of the economically more vibrant – but sports car starved – US market and developed a special competition model to tap it, the J2. The new roadster was a potent combination of a lightweight, hand-formed aluminium body fitted with independent front suspension and de Dion type rear axle, inboard rear brakes, and designed for a Ford "flathead" V8. Allard's distinctive front suspension was produced by splitting the I-beam front axle in two to make swing axles, with long radius rods and a new feature, for their day, of inclined telescopic shock absorbers.[2][3] Importing American engines just to ship them back across the Atlantic proved problematic, so US-bound Allards were soon shipped engineless and fitted out in the States variously with newer overhead valve engines by Cadillac, Chrysler, Buick, and Oldsmobile. In that form, the J2 proved a highly competitive international race car for 1950, most frequently powered by 331 cubic inch Cadillac engines. Domestic versions for England came equipped with Ford or Mercury flatheads. Russian-American engineer Zora Arkus-Duntov, formerly of Ardun (named after founders Yura and Zora ARkus-DUNtov) where he designed and developed aluminium overhead valve hemi heads for flathead Fords, worked for Allard from 1950 to 1952 and raced for the factory Allard team at Le Mans in 1952 and 1953.[4]
Available both in street trim and stripped down for racing, the J2 proved successful in competition on both sides of the Atlantic, including a third place overall at Le Mans in 1950 (driven by Sydney Allard himself, who also placed first in the Monte Carlo Rally in 1952 driving an Allard P1 saloon car). Of 313 documented starts in major races in the 9 years between 1949 and 1957, J2's compiled a list of 40 first place finishes; 32 seconds; 30 thirds; 25 fourths; and 10 fifth place finishes.[5] Both Zora Arkus-Duntov (the first chief engineer for the Chevrolet Corvette) and Carroll Shelby (the creator of the AC Cobra) raced J2's in the early 50's. 90 J2's were produced between 1950 and 1952.[6]
In an effort to extend a line growing obsolete in the face of advances in sports car design, Allard introduced an 'improved' model in late 1951, the J2X (extended). In an attempt to improve handling, the front suspension's rear attaching radius rods were redesigned with forward ones, which required a forward cross member and extending the nose out past the front wheels. This, in turn, allowed the engine to be moved forward, yielding more cockpit room. There is often confusion when it comes to identification of J2 and J2X types because they are seemingly very similar. However, the most obvious differences are that the J2 nose does not extend past the front tyres and has two vents below the grille, while the J2X nose has a more protruding chin with a single vent below the grille, which, as explained extends out past the front tyres. Allard historian Tom Lush, who was Sydney Allard's Personal Assistant and Allard employee from the beginning, said in his definitive book "Allard: The Inside Story" that the chin was the most obvious difference between the two models. In standard form the spare wheel was carried hidden on top of the rear mounted fuel tank but either version could carry one or two side mounted optional spares. This allowed the use of a 40 gallon long distance fuel tank.
Arriving later during a time when sports racing car design was developing rapidly, the J2X was not as successful in international racing as the J2, as it was not as competitive when compared to more advanced C and later D type Jaguars, alongside Mercedes, Ferrari, and Maserati works entries. Thus, it headlined less often in major international races and of 199 documented major race starts in the 9 years between 1952 and 1960, J2X's garnered 12 first place finishes; 11 seconds; 17 thirds; 14 fourths; and 10 fifth places.
P1

1948 P1 Sports
Known more often than not simply as the Allard 3.6-litre Saloon, the P1 was a five-seat, two-door sports saloon produced between 1949 and 1952. The cars used Ford engines and transmissions, and included a "Sports" model.
In 1952 an Allard P1, driven by Sydney Allard himself, along with Guy Warburton, won the Monte Carlo Rally. Tom Lush was the navigator.

The M-Type was offered in 1948 and 1949 as a Drophead Coupé.
Clipper

1954 Clipper
The 1953 Clipper was an attempt to cash in on the era's burgeoning microcar market. A tiny glass-fibre bodied car powered by a rear mounted 346 cc Villiers twin cylinder motorcycle engine, it claimed to seat three people abreast with room for two children in an optional Dicky seat. About 20 were made.
Palm Beach
Main article: Allard Palm Beach
Palm Beach (1952–59)
Allard introduced the 4- and 6-cylinder Palm Beach roadster in 1952. Built until 1958, the MkI was only available with four- or six- cylinder engines. A Mark II was introduced in 1956, it could be had with a six-cylinder 3.4-litre (3442 cc) Jaguar engine.
K3
1953 K3
Also in 1952, Allard adapted the Palm Beach in a K3, an attempt to offer a more civilized variant of the J2 and J2X models seen at the track. Exported to America as a potential "Corvette slayer" Dodge dealers had been clamoring for, it featured one of the most powerful engines of its era, the 331 cu. in. Chrysler hemi engine, fitted with a pair of 4-barrel carburetors.[7] Essentially a rebodied Palm Beach, it failed to find a niche in either market in spite of its performance. Today the exceptionally rare automobile can fetch the better part of a quarter million dollars (US) at auction.[7]
Allard P2 Safari
1953 P2 Safari
In an attempt to further extend its line, Allard adapted its P1 saloon to produce the 8 seater, wood sided, V8 engined, P2 Safari Estate. It too found weak sales.
Decline
Insufficient research and development meant that Allard failed to keep up with cheaper and more technically advanced cars. The Palm Beach was essentially a year behind its competitors, the K3 failed to live up to expectations, and the Safari Estate could not find a market.
By the mid-fifties Allard was struggling to remain solvent. The market was weak due to a late-'50s US recession
Sydney Allard's son, Alan Allard, marketed the Allardette 105, 109, and 116, using the straight four cylinder engine from the Ford Anglia and other Ford models.
In 1966 Sydney Allard died on the same night that an arsonist destroyed the Clapham factory and some of the Allard Motor Company factory records. The Allard factory site in Clapham is now a housing co-operative association, but the showroom and workshop in Putney remains as a car dealership.
Fiesta ST (2013–)
In 2011, Ford revealed the Fiesta ST concept based on the Fiesta MK6. The final production model was announced at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2012, and is largely unchanged from the concept model except for the lack of LED headlights.
The Fiesta ST is powered by a 1.6-litre Ford EcoBoost engine to deliver performance while still providing good fuel efficiency. The 1.6-litre Ford EcoBoost Turbocharged engine features Twin-independent Variable Camshaft Timing (Ti-VCT) and put out 182 PS (134 kW; 180 hp) with 177 lb·ft (240 N·m) of torque providing an acceleration time of under 7 seconds (0–100 km/h) and a top speed of 136 mph. This engine features "overboost," allowing delivery of up to 197bhp for a maximum of 15 seconds. In the USA, Ford is permitted to market the engine offering its overboost power figure; by contrast, in other countries such as the UK, a manufacturer is not permitted to market an engine's temporary output. The engine is mated to a 6-speed manual transmission which features Ford’s Torque Vectoring Control system to brake the inside front wheel to aid agility, and has three ESP modes. The car is expected to provide high fuel economy while not sacrificing performance, with Ford claiming higher fuel economy than the Volkswagen Golf GTI. The ST features a redesigned front fascia similar to the one seen on the Focus ST, a large rear spoiler, aggressive rear diffuser with a dual exhaust system, completed with 17-inch wheels on Bridgestone Potenza tires. On the inside, the ST provides heavily bolstered Recaro front seats (optional in North America) and sportier décor; North American versions are offered with the MyFord Touch infotainment system.
The Fiesta ST production model went on sale in both Europe and North America in 2013. In the North American market, the Fiesta ST became available in spring 2013 for the 2014 model year, unveiled at the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show as part of a larger mid-cycle refresh for the Fiesta. The North American Fiesta ST is offered as a five-door hatchback variant instead of the three-door hatchback offered in Europe.
The North American model is sold in hatchback body, and includes a 1.6-litre EcoBoost four-cylinder engine, six-speed manual transmission, overall steering ratio of 13.6:1, increased roll stiffness at rear axle, 15 millimeters lower body height than base model, electronic Torque Vectoring Control and 3-mode electronic stability control (standard, sport or off).
The Ford Fiesta ST won Top Gear's Car of the Year for 2013.

Given that this is the car I drive every day, I'll add a few more words:
AWESOME - the ST chassis is sensational, the handling sublime, and the grin factor - huge.
Only let downs are very firm seats and noisy highway cruising.
This Ford Racing Blue model is my second Fiesta ST, following on from a Molten Orange model earlier this year. And I will definitely be back again, if I have the opportunity.
This Lego miniland scale Ford Fiesta ST (B299MCA) has been created for Flickr LUGNuts' 96th Build Challenge - The 8th Birthday, titled - 'Happy Crazy Eight Birthday, LUGNuts' - where all previous build challenges are available to build to. This model is built to the LUGNuts 82nd build challenge, - "LUGNuts in Real Life" featuring vehicles owned of driven by the builder (or relative).
The Ferrari 250 GTO is one of the most exciting cars ever built. This pure racing bred machine has stood the test of time and is easily the most valuable Ferrari. It’s very rare to see one of the 33 Ferrari 250 GTOs, so when you have the opportunity to ride shotgun on a race track you jump at the chance. Youtuber Casey Putsch had the opportunity to ride along in a Ferrari 250 GTO and experience exactly why this car is a legend.
The Ferrari 250 GTO was built as a homologation car so Ferrari could participate in Group 3 Grand Touring Car Racing. The Ferrari 250 GTO was based on the chassis of the 250 GT Berlinetta SWB and used the race-proven 3.0-liter V12 engine from the 250 Testa Rossa Le Man's winner. This stout engine produced about 300 horsepower (221 Kilowatts) and 217 lb-ft (294 Newton Meters) of torque. Power was sent through a 5-speed manual transmission that used Synchromesh technology for faster shifts and eventually reached the rear wheel.
Ferrari used a hand-welded oval tube frame chassis as the backbone of the 250 GTO with hand-formed aluminum bodywork. The Ferrari engineering team spent a great deal of time perfecting the aerodynamics of the 250 GTO’s bodywork. Engineers tested at the University of Pisa’s wind tunnel and various other tests on the road and track to perfect the 250 GTO’s iconic shape.
The 250 GTO’s first race took place at the 12 Hours of Sebring where current Formula One Champion Phil Hill and his co-driver Olivier Gendebien took second overall right behind the Ferrari Testa Rossa prototype car. This was an astonishing finish as the 250 GTO easily beat out every other car in the GT class and solidified its place in motorsport history.
The chassis sn 3757GT shown here, wearing number 23 placed 3rd at the 1962 LeMans 24 Hours for Ecurie Francorchamps racing team.
Looking towards Cathedral Square October 27, 2013, New Zealand.
Cathedral Square, locally known simply as the Square, is the geographical centre and heart of Christchurch, New Zealand, where the city's Anglican cathedral, ChristChurch Cathedral is located. The square stands at the theoretical crossing of the city's two main orthogonal streets, Colombo Street and Worcester Street, though in practice both have been either blocked off or detoured around the square itself. The Cathedral has been badly damaged in the February 2011 Christchurch earthquake.
he square is the city's main meeting place for people taking a break from their work, or just visiting the city, and is a regular site of street performers and speakers of all varieties. Until recent years, the most well-known of these was The Wizard of New Zealand.
Since the year 2000, The Chalice, a large piece of modern sculpture in the form of an inverted cone, has stood in the square subverting the shape of the spire that rises above the cathedral. The Chalice, designed by prominent New Zealand artist Neil Dawson, is made up of forty-two leaf patterns featuring different native plants.

The scars come from the fact that the women ask to be whipped during bull jumping ceremony of the men of their family...
The Hamar (or Hamer or Hammer) is a tribe with a total population of about over 35,000, which lives in Hamer Bena woreda, a fertile part of the Omo River valley, in the Debub Omo Zone of the Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples Region (SNNPR). They are largely pastoralists, so their culture places a high value on cattle, the menaning of their life. There are at least 27 words for the subtle variations of colours and textures of a cattle! And each man has three names: a human, a goat and a cow name.
Honey collection is their major activity.They are as well semi nomadic and migrate every few months to find pastures for their goats and cattle. They have a special relationship with Bana-Bashada group than the others as they share a common language and culture.
Hamer society consists of a complex system of age groups. To pass from one age group to another involves complicated rituals. The bull-jumping is the most significant ceremony in the social life of the Hamer, the final test before passing into adulthood and in order to get married. The teen must jump naked over a number of bulls without falling. That is why we can mention it as cow jumping or bull leaping. If he is able to complete this task, he will become a man and be able to marry a woman.
The Hamar are very preoccupied with their beauty. They have at times spectacular haidresses.
Men use a wooden head rest which prevents the hair from touching the ground. It is used as head rest to protect the clay wig that some do on the top of the head, but it is also useful as a seat.
Women know many ways to do their hair. The most famous hair style is when their hair is in short tufts rolled in ochre and fat or in long twisted strands. These coppery coloured strands are called "goscha", it's a sign of health and welfare.
They also wear bead necklaces, iron bracelets around their arms, and decorate their breast with lots of cowry shells, like a natural bra.
Around married women's necks, you can see "esente": torques made of iron wrapped in leather. These are engagement presents; they are worn for life and indicate their husband's wealth. One of the necklaces catch more especially the attention: it is called the "bignere". It has a phallic-shape end. This jewelry can only be worn by a man's first wife.
Her statut is the higher one in Hamer society. The Hamar women who are not first wife have a really hard life and they are more slaves than wives...
The young unmarried girls, for their part, wear a kind of oval shape plate, in metal. It is used like a sunshield, but it tends to be rare in the tribe. Some of them have fund their future husband, but have to wait in their house until the so-called prentender can provide all the money for the ceremony: he has to pay for all the cows the bride-to-be's family asks for. These girls are called "Uta" and have to wait weeks, entirely covered with red clay... And no right to take baths or showers . They cannot go out of the house. Friends bring her food.
A cruel tradition still has currency for some Hamar: the babies who have the upper teeth first coming out, are abandonned in the bush. This tradition tends to disapear but NGO Omochild still save abandonned new borns in Jinka. Abandonments are all the more frequent than some Hamar believe that a child born out of formal marriages has "mingi", as to say something abnormal and unclean. For them, it is the expression of the devil, which may cause disasters such as epidemics or drought in the village. So, illegitimate children are abandoned. This kind of beliefs can also be observed in other Ethiopan tribes.
The weekly markets in Turmi and Dimeka are meeting points where tourist observation and photography can be satisfy against money.

Symboles celtes. (Reconstitution)
"Le torque est un collier connu pour avoir été porté par les Celtes au cours de l'Âge du Fer puis, à titre honorifique, par les soldats romains.
Le mot vient du latin torques, dérivé de torqueo (tordre), en raison de la forme du collier.
Le torque est formé d'une épaisse tige métallique ronde, généralement terminée en boule à ses deux extrémités et plus ou moins travaillée ou ornée. Le corps du collier est généralement en fer mais n'est pas toujours entortillé. Les torques étaient faits à partir de brins de métal entrelacés, généralement en or ou en bronze, moins souvent en argent ou même entièrement en fer."
I went to Belvoir Castle steam rally yesterday which was a little muddy underfoot in places to say the least, but it was still a great show even though the number of exhibits was down as a result of the wet conditons.
One of the highlights of the show for me was parked in the low loader park -as is often the case- where this 'Big Banger' ERF E16 with Gardner 6LYT engine was to be found.
With a very conservative power rating of 320bhp, but masses of torque, the 6LYT could have been the saviour of Patricroft, but reliability issues meant that relatively few were sold and to see one in use these days is a rare thing.

A variation to my original L-motor frame that has been lengthened in order to: 1) accommodate a 16t/24t gear ratio for more pulling power, 2) allow 6 xL wheels with 1 stud spacing, and 3) allow 6 L wheels with 2 stud spacing.
EDIT: 10/2016
The frame itself works well despite the overall length of 11 studs between axles. The major change to this has been the removal of the 16t and 24t gears in favor of the smaller 12t & 20t gears. Please reference my newer photo flic.kr/p/Lq6y8e
It's amazing that the large tires of the draagsters can flex so much under the enormous amount of torque without being torn to shreds.
This car was obviously conceived before the idea or production of wide tyres was mastered, and with 520hp to get down onto the road they had to come up with the best solution they could at the time. It still must have smoked those tyres which must have been made from a fairly 'hard' compound.
