Driven is our once a month worship service. Driven incorporates art, short films, teaching God's Word, and Christian fellowship. These shirts are designed for guys that come to driven.
[The models are from alternative apparel where we get all of our shirts.]
Got to work with the Media Group for the Driven show in Winnipeg yesterday. As you can see, I was very lucky and got to work with a host of talented young models.
I also got a chance to test out my new portable hot shoe soft boxes, which I must admit work very, very well for a couple 50 dollar ebay items.
Strobist Info: Two speedlights 1/4 power through 20 inch softboxes camera left and front.
175cc, chain driven single overhead camshaft
MV used the name 'Disco Volante' (Flying saucer) due to the unusual shape of the petrol tank
Amazingly advanced design for 1953. Engine castings are lightweight, with metal only where it is needed.
Multiplate clutch running in oil.
Unit construction engine/gearbox (four speed, foot change). See the rocking gear lever so that you didn't scuff your designer Italian footwear!
Tele forks and swing arm rear suspension. British bikes at this time were invariably still rigid or plunger rear suspension.
There were the usual period claims/ boasts by the manufacturer of 85 mph, 14hp and 100+mpg!
Truth is that the bike is capable of approx. 75mph with the rider flat on the tank, and it will easily top 100mpg even when ridden fairly hard.
Handling/roadholding and brakes could cope with twice the power quite easily!
These bikes were very expensive to buy, but compared with a BSA C11, Villiers powered machines etc. available in 1953, what a machine the MV must have been.
This bike was bought in 2002 and was cosmetically quite reasonable. Mechanically it was a huge disappointment, and struggled to make 50 mph!
The Italian 'racers' in the 1950's did not favour the MV sohc motor as oil feed onto the cam lobes was scarcely adequate. We designed a hollow camshaft with 'quill' end feed, and oil delivery holes on the cam flanks which cured this problem.
We worked on compression ratio, camshaft design, crankshaft balance factor, electronic ignition and overall gearing.
Next week , the bike is competing on its 5th 'Motogiro d'Italia' - a 1200mile, 5 day endurance event in Italy.
We use up to 8500rpm (6500 standard), and have designed the power characteristics to be flexible, reasonably tractable so that you could easily go shopping on it, but it still has an 'interesting' part of the power band in the 6500-8500rpm range.
Bike was re-painted in 2007. Damn pretty too!
On 'A' and 'B' class roads this is a superb and quick machine, particularly when remembering it is now nearly 60 years old!

Boeing's B-29 Superfortress was the most sophisticated propeller-driven bomber of World War II and the first bomber to house its crew in pressurized compartments. Although designed to fight in the European theater, the B-29 found its niche on the other side of the globe. In the Pacific, B-29s delivered a variety of aerial weapons: conventional bombs, incendiary bombs, mines, and two nuclear weapons.
On August 6, 1945, this Martin-built B-29-45-MO dropped the first atomic weapon used in combat on Hiroshima, Japan. Three days later, Bockscar (on display at the U.S. Air Force Museum near Dayton, Ohio) dropped a second atomic bomb on Nagasaki, Japan. Enola Gay flew as the advance weather reconnaissance aircraft that day. A third B-29, The Great Artiste, flew as an observation aircraft on both missions.
Transferred from the United States Air Force.
Manufacturer: Boeing Aircraft Co.
Martin Co., Omaha, Nebr.
Date: 1945

Materials:
Polished overall aluminum finish
Physical Description:
Four-engine heavy bomber with semi-monoqoque fuselage and high-aspect ratio wings. Polished aluminum finish overall, standard late-World War II Army Air Forces insignia on wings and aft fuselage and serial number on vertical fin; 509th Composite Group markings painted in black; "Enola Gay" in black, block letters on lower left nose.
this car has done 160 k's in the year that the owner has had it. He has driven it twice in that year and he does business overseas but c'mon, i'd do that in a day!!!

RESEDA - A wind-driven tree fire spread through several blocks burning structures and vegetation.
On Saturday, January 16, 2021 at 11:53 AM, LAFD responded to a structure fire at the 18000 block of Elkwood St. The fire appeared to have started in ornamental vegetation near Strathern St, then was fueled by wind and pushed several blocks to the south across Blythe, Arminta, Elkwood and Ingomar. A post-fire survey revealed that only two homes sustained minor fire damage, and four out buildings were damaged or destroyed. LAFD Firefighters were on scene just three minutes after being dispatched and acted quickly to prevent this situation from becoming much worse in the warm/windy conditions, with an attack that included water-dropping helicopters. It took 68 firefighters 49 minutes to extinguish all of the flames. There were no injuries. The fire is under investigation.

Today I got a chance to tour the shops at Little Amerricka's Whiskey River Railroad. I'll take any chance I can get to walk through a railroad shop and photograph things, so of course, I had a great time at it. The trains are a little over 5 feet tall running on 16 inch gauge track, so this photo makes the drvers look a lot larger than they are.

Reiter Engineering’s #25 Lamborghini Murcielago 670 R-SV, driven by Jos Menten and Frank Kechele, set the seventh fastest lap time during qualifying on the iconic British race track, putting them on the fourth row of the grid for the one-hour qualifying race. The pair managed to improve their position during this race to secure a sixthplace start on the grid for Sunday’s championship race.
A strong start by Menten improved their position by two places before the end of the first lap, which the German driver maintained before handing over to team-mate Kechele, who continued to charge around the track to cross the finish line fourth. Due to a technical infringement, the race winner was later disqualified by the FIA stewards, promoting the #25 Lamborghini Murcielago 670 R-SV to a third-place finish. The second Reiter Engineering entry, the #24 of Peter Kox and Christopher Haase secured a tenth-place start for the championship race, but was forced into retirement after suffering a puncture on lap 17.
Meanwhile, the All-Inkl.com Münnich Motorsport #38 Lamborghini Murcielago 670 R-SV of Dominik Schwager and Nicky Pastorelli improved their position by three places during the qualifying race to start 20th on the grid for the championship race. The pair then battled through the highly-competitive field to cross the finish line 12th. The team’s second entry, the #37 piloted by Cristoph Bouchut and Marc Basseng claimed 17th on the grid but retired due to a technical issue.
Menten and Kechele are currently joint seventh in the drivers’ standings with 15 points, with Kox and Haase joint 11th with four points. Reiter Engineering is running fifth in the teams’ standings having claimed 29 points.
“This has been a very successful weekend,” said Hans Reiter, Reiter Engineering’s Team Principal. “We knew we had a strong and quick car but we were not expecting such good results so early in the season. We are very motivated and we are confident that we’ll be also at the front in Brno in two weeks.”

The Stadler GTW, sold by Stadler Rail of Switzerland, is an articulated railcar for local transport. GTW stands for Gelenktriebwagen (articulated railcar). The basic concept of these unite is rather unconventional: the car is driven by a central "power module", the small red coloured section, also known as a powerpack or a drive container, powered on both axles. Two light end modules, each with a bogie, rest on the power module, which produces useful traction weight on the driving axles. The end modules also use the space very effectively, although the railcar is divided into two halves by the power module. Most units have a path through the drive container for passenger access. The power packs can be swapped out in an hour reduced unit down time and allowing for the easy conversion of units between diesel and electric (overhead or third rail) operation.The diesel propulsion modules are 550 kW (740 hp) with 2 x 375 kW (503 hp) = 750 kW (1,006 hp) power available, and electric propulsion modules have 600 to 1,100 kW (800 to 1,500 hp). All drive modules work with IGBT pulse solid state inverters.
Here in the south I have seen a middle car (also with only one bogie) is inserted on one side of the propulsion module, expanding a GTW 2/6 to GTW 2/8. Instead of the middle car, another drive module can also be inserted. Between the two modules are then either a trailer passenger car (GTW 4/8) or two medium cars and partitions (GTW 4/12). For operational flexibility up to four GTWs of the same pattern can be operated as a multiple unit.
Internally they are very comfortable being light due to large windows, which even give a clear view to the drivers view. They are air conditioned, have visual and audio passenger information systems thus assisting visually and hearing impaired passengers. The low floor designs makes them easier to use for physically disabled passengers.
In the Netherlands Veolia operate these units on rural lines, electric units here in the south and diesel units up on the far northern lines.
