Company Car #3. Now finally to be replaced this coming week. Thought I should model it up while its still here.
A 2010 MY Ford WT Fiesta Zetec, built in Thailand. Mica Black (though it mostly looks dirty due to the crappy dirt road out to the Proving Ground). A very trendy little car. could do with more mid-range torque - rectified with the 1.6 litre diesel engine. The Diesel model was to be the replacement, but this has been bumped by a new Mondeo.
I have now given up asking my kids what colour car they want, as it never ends up being what I order anyway.

Hot Wheels Collectors' Information
This is a 2010 Exclusive edition of the '70 Camaro RS. The casting made its Hot Wheels debut in 2006 as part of the Ultra Hot series.
About the 1970 Chevrolet Camaro
The second generation Chevrolet Camaro was introduced February 26, 1970, and remained in production for 12 years. This generation's styling, inspired in part by Jaguar, Aston Martin, and Ferrari, was longer, lower, and wider than the first generation Camaro, and is "widely considered the best all-around domestic musclecar ever produced." Although it was an all-new car, the basic mechanical layout of the new Camaro was familiar, engineered much like its predecessor with a unibody structure utilizing a front subframe, A-arm and coil spring front suspension, and rear leaf springs. Most of the engine and drivetrain components were carried over from 1969, with the exception of the 230 cu in (3.8 L) six cylinder — the base engine was now the 250 cu in (4.1 L) six, rated at 155 hp (116 kW). The top performing motor was the 396 cu in (6.5 L) L78 rated at 375 hp (280 kW). Starting in 1970, the big block V8s (nominally 396 cu in (6.5 L)) actually displaced 402 cu in (6.6 L), yet Chevrolet chose to retain the 396 badging. Two 454 cu in (7.4 L) engines (the LS6 and LS7) were listed on early specification sheets and in some sales brochures but never made it into production. Besides the base model, buyers could select the Rally Sport option with a distinctive nose and bumper, a Super Sport package, and the Z-28 Special Performance Package featuring a new high-performance LT-1 360 hp (268 kW) 380 lb·ft (520 N·m) of torque 350 cu in (5.7 L) V8.

HAMANN Motorsport is most famous recently for such outrageous machines as the Mercedes-Benz SLR-based HAMANN Volcano, but its treatment for the more-mundane X6 turns a car that perhaps never should have been to a high performance, high-style machine they're caling the Tycoon.
The HAMANN BMW X6 Tycoon improves and builds upon the X6 platform in nearly every way. A couple
of engine choices here, but true gear heads might want to take a look at HAMANN's treatment for the X6 Diesel. Using the xDrive35d engine as a base, HAMANN coaxes 315 horsepower and a mammoth 487 lb-ft. of torque at the crank. Granted, the X6 is a heavy car..crossover..whatever, but we're betting this thing moves.
HAMANN hints at an even more powerful X6 Tycoon using the xDrive50d as a jumping-off point. If plans work out as expected, we're talking big rig torque.
On the outside, the HAMANN X6 Tycoon gets a body widening by way of new front and rear air dams and skirts that complete the package by wrapping around and extending the wheel wells. The aero package is completed by rear and roof-deck spoilers. The Tycoon looks sufficiently menacing and important without going too far into the overstated realm.
Most instantly eye-catching are the 23 inch custom DESIGN EDITION RACE ANODIZED alloys
wrapped by 315/25R23 tires front and rear. The X6 Tycoon will look most at home in the city, though should be able to handle itself just fine on the back roads.
The HAMANN BMW X6 Tycoon is available now, contact HAMANN for conversion price information, but the Tycoon won't come cheap.

El museo incluye ocho piezas conocidas como el "tesoro del castro de Xanceda" por haberse encontrado en ese lugar, en Mesía, A Coruña. Las circunstancias del hallazgo son poco fiables pero parece haberse producido hacia 1975 durante unas labores agrícolas. No fue hasta mediados de los 80 que pudieron comprarse para que formaran a pasar parte de los fondos del Museo. El torque de la foto se denomina Xanceda I, mide unos 190 mm de diámetro máximo y pesa unos 700 g.

The Pista incorporates everything Ferrari has learned so far from the 488 GTE, GT3 and Challenge race cars. The revised 3.9-Liter twin-turbocharged V-8 in the Pista pumps out an eye-watering 710-horsepower at 8000 rpm and 568 pound-feet of torque at 3000 rpm (this is an increase of 49-hp and 7 pound-feet of torque over the 488 GTB). With this modest bump in performance, Ferrari claims that the 488 Pista will hit 62 mph from a standstill in 2.9 seconds, will hit 124 mph from zero in 7.6 seconds and has a max velocity of more than 211 mph.
Compared to the 488 GTB, the Pista is 0.3-inches lower, 0.9-inches wider, and 1.5-inches shorter in overall length. Because of many weight reduction measures throughout the vehicle, the 488 Pista is nearly 198 pounds lighter than the 488 GTB. When weighed dry (without any fluids), the Pista is less than 44 pounds heavier than the 488 GTE and 488 GT3.
The 488 GTB is already a competent track monster but in order to make the 488 Pista an even more potent track monster, Ferrari has fitted it with the GTE's angled front splitter, a reshaped front bumper, revised rear diffuser, a dolphin-tail spoiler, and has added additional air-exiting holes into the rear fenders. However, the 488 Pista's party piece is the steep channel carved into the hood. Aerospace and racing engineers refer to this as an "S-duct," a design which increases the downforce on the front axle by funneling air from the bottom of the diffuser and directs it upwards in an S pattern, which creates a suction effect between the channeled air and the surface of the car. When all of the aerodynamic enhancements are combined, it results in a 20 percent increase in downforce on the 488 Pista.
Ferrari's Side-Slip Angle Control, which is in its sixth version in the Pista, controls the electronic limited-slip differential, the traction and stability control, and the response of the magnetic dampers. The system can also vary how hard the brake calipers bite. The cockpit of the 488 Pista is business as usual, but it features additional microsuede trim, red stripes, and five-point seatbelts, which can be installed after the owner drives their 488 Pista off the showroom floor, at least in the U.S.
Ferrari has yet to announce the pricing on the 488 Pista. However, considering that a 488 GTB starts around $260,000, expect the 488 Pista to cost well north of the $300,000 threshold.
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.
People outside passing by the hackerspace building commented that the noise generated by this setup was like the sound of a passing freight train.
A group of core networking volunteers and friends from past events (like What the Hack 2005, Hacking at Random 2009, Chaos Communication Camp 2011, Observe. Hack. Make 2013) needed to make alterations to a few kilometers of fiber optic cable to be ready for upcoming events such as Chaos Communication Camp 2015, Campzone 2015 and SHA2017.
This turned into a fusion splicing (fiber splicing) workshop.
1960 Caddy I spotted today not far from my home. The car is still in the hands of the original owner, Frank. I would say he is about 90 years old. He and some family members had just picked the car up from a shop that had just rebuilt the engine.
There is a strange phenomenon going around a lot of the more obscure and cheapo Chinese toy makers and that is copying quite a lot of the more generic Matchbox castings. The Desert Thunder V16 truck and 2006 Fire Engine are the most copied but the ugly Torque Titan can also be found made by Tian Hong Toys and is actually a good likeness. Part of a five vehicle set. Mint and boxed.

One of 5 with Cravens bodies and torque converters (140-44) taken in 1938, these added yet another touch of variety to the RCT fleet in the immediate prewar period. Seen at Littleborough Square on an express working to Todmorden jointly operated with Todmorden Joint Omnibus Committee. This only ever operated on Saturdays in my time, but may once have been more frequent?

Taken as part of an Arizona Insider Studio model shoot on April 9, 2011 in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Canon 60D and Canon 17-55mm f2.8 IS lens. I supplied the torque wrench. One monolight camera left with a medium softbox and one monolight camera right with a medium softbox. The power levels were not recorded (there were four lighting setups in the maintenance garage, so I didn't keep track of their settings). The monolights were triggered with my Pocket Wizard. ISO 100, f5.6 at 1/125 second. Very minor post-processing work in Portrait Professional. I cleaned up a few things in Photoshop CS4 and added a Levels layer. I used a Portrait Sharpen layer in onOne, a Cool Edges layer in onOne, and CS4 was used to create the vignette.
This was a fun shoot. First time with this group.

Here you can see the bigger 12” torque converter fitted into the gearbox. Two lengths of flat bar have been bent to hold the unit in the gearbox during transportation home. The converter is bolted to the engine and slid over a pair of lugs within the gearbox so just slides out in this condition. The four mounting pads will butt up against the flex plate. If you look super careful you will notice the bolt holes on the pads are offset and you can only fit it one way to the bus.
We have to end with a bit of good news and here it is. 428 original large 1228 original large 12” torque converter has been cut apart and rebuilt. Its internals fins were dressed and worn items replaced it was then welded back closed. You can see here a new centre pump drive tube has been welded on. The old one had deep scoring on it, the new one has been ground to perfection by the specialists at Mackies. The unit was balanced and pressure tested successfully. It will stay with them for now as it will be mounted (I HOPE) to the gearbox and the whole unit tested on their dynamometer to ensure the gearbox is fully functional before I fit it back into the bus.
The final iteration of the P5 appeared in September 1967. Now powered by the 3,528-cubic-centimetre (215.3 cu in) Rover V8 engine also used in the 3500, the car was badged as the "3.5 Litre", and commonly known as the 3½ Litre. The final letter in the "P5B" model name came from Buick, the engine's originator. Rover did not have the budget to develop a new engine, hence they chose to redevelop the lightweight aluminium engine available from Buick.
Output of 160 hp (120 kW) was claimed along with improved torque. When introduced in 1967 the Buick designed V8 produced 160 PS (118 kW; 158 hp) at 5,200 rpm and 210 lb⋅ft (280 N⋅m) of torque at 2,600 rpm.
The exterior was mostly unchanged, apart from bold '3.5 Litre' badging, a pair of fog lights which were added below the head lights, creating a striking 4 light array, and the fitting of chrome Rostyle wheels with black painted inserts. The P5B existed as both the 4-door coupé and saloon body style until end of production. Production ended in 1973, by when 9,099 coupés and 11,501 saloons had been built.
The 3½ Litre saloon variant was a favourite of high-ranking Government Ministers, and served as Prime Ministerial transport for Harold Wilson, Edward Heath, James Callaghan and Margaret Thatcher. As testament to their suitability, the last batch of P5Bs to roll off the Rover line in June 1973 was purchased by the British government and placed in storage, to be released for government use as required.
As for most of the models built his November, the Rover P5B 3.5 Litre is a major redesign of a previously created model. In LUGNuts there was a build challenge named 'Redo or Redemption' just for this type of build.

1058 HP, 992 ft lbs torque, 225 MPH,
Galpin Motors --- Most of the shots at Galpin were inside a building with dark ceilings and floors and frankly, not much light. I found myself shooting at ISO 800 and with pretty slow shutter speeds and I'm afraid my normal picture quality isn't here with this shoot. Apparently I must have had the Vibration Reduction turned off. Sorry about that but the cars are interesting and fun.
Jaybee took this module from an IBM eServer xSeries 346 (Type 8840) server; the Lithium ION Battery Pack and cache memory module of the RAID controller. The battery has blown up to twice its size, torquing the module out of shape and causing hardware issues. The one Euro coin is intended for scale reference.
This is one of the first images of the Slimline Torque Wrench in use. Andrew Mustard uses the SL1 on the wheel rim of Donald Campbell's Bluebird land speed record attempt car, Lake Eyre, Australia, 1963.
