The Ford Motor Company is an American multinational corporation based in Dearborn, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit. The automaker was founded by Henry Ford and incorporated on June 16, 1903. In addition to the Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury brands, Ford also owns Volvo Cars of Sweden, and a small stake in Mazda of Japan and Aston Martin of England. Ford's former UK subsidiaries Jaguar and Land Rover were sold to Tata Motors of India in March 2008.
Ford introduced methods for large-scale manufacturing of cars and large-scale management of an industrial workforce using elaborately engineered manufacturing sequences typified by moving assembly lines. Henry Ford's methods came to be known around the world as Fordism by 1914.
The Ford GT40 was a high performance sports car and winner of the 24 hours of Le Mans four times in a row, from 1966 to 1969 (in 1967 with a different body, though). It was built to win long-distance sports car races against Ferrari (who won at Le Mans six times in a row from 1960 to 1965). That car used the Gurney Weslake engine with the special alloy heads made by Weslake.
The car was named the GT (for Grand Touring) with the 40 representing its overall height of 40 inches (1.02 m, measured at the windshield) as required by the rules. Large displacement Ford V8 engines (4.7 L and 7 L) were used, compared with the Ferrari V12 which displaced 3.0 L or 4.0 L.
Early cars were simply named "Ford GT". The name "GT40" was the name of Ford's project to prepare the cars for the international endurance racing circuit, and the quest to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The first 12 "prototype" vehicles carried serial numbers GT-101 through GT-112. The "production" began and the subsequent cars, the MkI, MkIIs, MkIIIs, and MkIVs, numbered GT40P/1000 through GT40P/1145, were officially "GT40s". The name of Ford's project, and the serial numbers dispel the story that "GT40" was "only a nickname.“
The Ford GT90 was a concept car manufactured by the Ford Motor Company. It was unveiled in January 1995 at the Detroit Auto Show as "the world's mightiest supercar". Claimed performance included a top speed 253 mph (409 km/h) from a 720 hp (537 kW) quad-turbocharged V12 engine, the exhaust of which was claimed to be hot enough to damage the body panels, requiring ceramic tiles similar to those on the space shuttle to prevent this.
The mid-engined car was a spiritual successor to the Ford GT40, taking from it some styling cues, such as doors that cut into the roofline, but little else. All angles and glass, the Ford GT90 was the first Ford to display the company's "New Edge" design philosophy. The GT90 was built around a honeycomb-section aluminum monocoque and its body panels were moulded from carbon fiber.
The GT90 was built by a small team in just over six months and, as a result, borrowed many components from another high profile stablemate—the Jaguar XJ220. The all-round double wishbone suspension and the five-speed manual gearbox came from the Jaguar, while the engine was a siamesed 4.6L DOHC V8 block (from the Lincoln Mark VIII) with 2 cylinders cut off.
The GT90's 48-valve V12 was a six-litre engine which, if Ford had ever produced it in volume, might have produced up to 720 hp (537 kW), thanks to four Garrett AiResearch T2 turbochargers. The engine was based on the Ford Modular engine. Two Lincoln V8 engines each had portions removed, namely the last pair of cylinders from the rear of one engine and the first pair of cylinders from the front of the other engine and the cut down engines were welded together. In total, this yielded a 90-degree V12, with 90.2 mm bore and 77.3 mm stroke.
Jacques Nasser, then a Ford executive and eventually CEO, was very proud of the car, and kept a model of it on his desk, as seen in a documentary on the U.K. television network Channel 4 on the Firestone tire incidents.
In the Top Gear episode first broadcast on October 26, 2003, Jeremy Clarkson stated "I actually drove this and it was horrid. It had a top speed of 40 (mph) and it handled like it was in a cartoon".
Hace unos 3 o 4 meses, recibo en mi bandeja de entrada, un mail lleno de ilusiones de Alejandro, que con muchos nervios y grandes expectativas me contaba que abriría su propia tienda de repostería, y que quería que diera cursos en ella.
Entre mails, que van y mails que vienen, fuimos viendo cual era el proyecto adaptado a lo que el buscaba, me dio rienda suelta a lo que quería, con la única condición, que tenga algo celeste y a rallas, dada que su tienda era así.
Aprovechando el verano, hice a una Lalyta veraniega ( lo que él, a toda fuerza la quiere bautizar como Paquita, por el nombre de su tienda, Mi dulce Paco )
Día 13 de julio, Igualada me recibía con increíbles e incontables globos aerostáticos, impresionantes vistas que solo hacía que mi corazón de brinquitos de emoción, 15 minutos mas tarde, ya estaba ahí, con mi gordito, ultimando todos los detalles, para que una hora mas tarde, llegaran mis valientes a tomar el curso.
He de decir, que después de muchos años, vuelvo a tener a chicos en mi curso, uno era Alejandro, y el otro un niño que con solo 16 añitos.. hace unas verdaderas virguerías.
También tenía a María, una niña de 13 años, que con sus ocurrencias me hacía mas ameno el curso.
Fueron 12 personas en total, un curso bastante divertido, chicas, y chicos hambrientos de conocimientos, y con muchas ganas de aprender a modelar.
Lo que siempre digo, el mundo no se hizo en un día, y para ello, con paciencia y amor, poco a poco se va a aprendiendo y sobre todo practicando.
A mi Alejandro… lo que empezó con un curso, terminó en una amistad bonita, muchísimas gracias por confiar en mi trabajo, tu y David, sois unos grandes anfitriones, y nos habéis mimado en todo momento.
A mis valientes, gracias gracias gracias mil gracias, por seguir creyendo en mi, por contar conmigo en un curso donde no hay mas que poner amor en vuestro trabajo y mucha paciencia para que vuestra figurita poco a poco va tomando forma.
A visit to Sydney's south-west gives me an opportunity to explore the western end of the South West Rail Link.

From Wikipedia: "The South West Rail Link is an extension of the Sydney Trains commuter rail network in Sydney, Australia. It is currently under construction and is intended to be the major piece of public transport infrastructure for the Sydney metropolitan area's "South West Growth Centre". When complete, it will consist of a 11.4 km (7.1 mi), double-track railway serving the developing suburbs of Leppington and Edmondson Park. The new line will connect with the existing Sydney Trains network at Glenfield and will also include a train stabling facility to the west of Leppington station. The project is being managed by Transport for New South Wales, an agency of the Government of New South Wales."
