I visited Wright-Locke Farm today to drop off more of my greeting cards, which are sold in the farm's store. I had to check on the goats, to see how they're holding up in the cold weather. Turbo was up for some pats, as usual. He still has pumpkin on his face from last week.
BMW 2002 Turbo
Das unter der Code BMW E20 entwickelte Modell mit 170 PS maximaler Motorleistung war (noch vor dem Porsche 911 Turbo) das erste in Serie hergestellte deutsche Auto mit Abgasturbolader.
In der Öffentlichkeit wurde der im Herbst 1973, mitten in der ersten Ölkrise, vorgestellte BMW 2002 turbo sofort wegen seines hohen Benzinverbrauchs kritisiert; ebenso wie der auf Wunsch auf dem Frontspoiler in Spiegelschrift angebrachte Schriftzug "turbo 2002", der in der Presse als „Kriegsbemalung“ tituliert wurde.
Von September 1973 bis November 1974 wurden nur 1672 Fahrzeuge hergestellt, die ab Werk lediglich in den BMW-Farben Polaris-metallic und Chamonix (Silber bzw. Weiß) erhältlich waren. In heutiger Kaufkraft und Währung entspricht der bei Produktionsende 1974 verlangte Preis von 20.780 DM aktuell einer Summe von 29.900 Euro.

The BMW 2002 Turbo was launched at the 1973 Frankfurt Motor Show. This was BMW's first turbocharged production car and the first turbocharged car since General Motors' brief offerings in the early 1960s. It produced 127 kW (170 hp) at 5,800 rpm, (p162) with 240 N·m (180 lb·ft) of torque. The 2002 Turbo used the 2002 tii engine with a KKK turbocharger and a compression ratio of 6.9:1 in order to prevent engine knocking. Kugelfischer mechanical fuel injection was used, with a sliding throttle plate instead of the usual throttle butterfly. The 2002 Turbo was introduced just before the 1973 oil crisis, therefore only 1,672 were built.

Turbo was happy to see me, and didn't give me much time to snap a photo before he was upon, hoping for pats and scratchies. I saw a nice sunset developing as I was driving by Wright-Locke Farm, so I pulled over and got out my camera.
A scene only available in Dugger, IN. Amazing that this entire train just rusts away in a scrap yard.

The RTL Turboliner trainsets were based on the earlier RTG Turboliners which were in turn developed from the French ANF gas-turbine T 2000 RTG "Turbotrain" trainsets.
Built by Rohr Industries, the RTL Turboliners were delivered to Amtrak in 1976-77 for use in upstate New York on the Empire Service (New York-Albany-Buffalo) and Adirondack (New York-Montreal).
They were withdrawn from service shortly after this photo. A few of them remain in storage most likely never to run again.

The Volvo 66 is an automobile developed from the DAF 66, which was originally styled by Giovanni Michelotti. The compact car was introduced in August 1975, almost exactly a year after Volvo bought DAF, and before production of the Volvo 300 Series began.
The Volvo 66 was known for its continuously variable transmission, the Variomatic. The Volvo version of the car was slightly restyled and given larger bumpers and Volvo-style headrests, similar to those of the Volvo 240. Although this was in keeping with Volvo's emphasis on safety, it also increased its cost of production (Wikipedia).
