The Britten V1000 is a handbuilt race motorcycle designed and built by John Britten and a group of friends in Christchurch, New Zealand during the early 1990s. The bike went on to win the Battle of the Twins in Daytona International Speedway's Daytona Bike Week festivities in the United States and set several world speed records.
The bike was designed from first principles and hosts a number of innovations including extensive use of carbon fibre, the radiator located under the seat, double wishbone front suspension, frameless chassis and engine data logging.
A total of 10 Britten V1000s were produced by the Britten Motorcycle Company and now exist in collections and museums around the world.

Some shots of the Big Boy after reassembly and repairs. The paint was the biggest issue with this model. Other than some small items that needed re-soldering, the only thing I had to do was get rid of the awful paint. Unfortunately, I couldn't save the original factory paint, a shame, but, at some point it will be painted again to appear just as it did from the maker. This is engine #5 of just 25 made between 1955 and 1957.

The first Pakistani Starfleet Command Center of it's kind. Took me months to egineer and build. This is where it all begins.
Day 8 of the February challenge: something I have had a long time. When I was a teenager, I used to build 'OO' scale model railway locomotives from brass and nickel sheet. They look pretty crude by today's standards, but I was very proud of them at the time. Maybe one day, when I have more time on my hands...
I bought this early hand built brass model recently. It is un-restored, but runs very well. These early hand built models are extremely rare, with only a handful in the world, for me, they are an exciting find for my collection. This model is unmarked, therefore, I am not sure who the maker was, but, I suspect it was made by Tetsudo or Kawai Models sometime between 1950 and 1955. (Sorry for the bad photos, these were the best I could get using my iphone).
This finished handbuilt coil ceramic vase was inspired by the Ancient Jamon Culture Of Japan....Jamon meaning corded or rope for their impressed design...Beautiful intricate Jamon vases in this style were created around 3000 years ago....My creation was red oxide rubbed exterior and a Celedon glazed interior.

The first of the DBR1's was built in 1956 to contest the World Sportscar Championship and the Le Mans 24 hour, their finest hour coming in 1959 with victory at the Sarthe.
Designed by Ted Cutting on a multi tubular space frame chassis. The body evolved from the DB3S's shape, featuring a much lower profile. Initially powered by a 2493cc S6 all alloy engine the cars would later use a 2922cc 250bhp S6.
The first chassis DBR1/1 competed alongside two older DB3S cars in the 1956 Le Mans, powered by the smaller engine, the car performed well until it suffered gearbox failure on the 246th lap forcing drivers Tony Brookesand Reg parnell to retire.
In 1957 there were World Sportscar Championship wins at the Nurburgring 1000km and a one two victory at Spa with three further non championship victories. Le Mans remained elusive with a pair of non finishes.
For 1958 a third car was completed, a second victory with Stirling Moss and Jack Brabham at the Nurburgring and a 1-2-3 at the Tourist Trophy earned the team 2nd in the Championship, but again Le Mans resulted in failure for all three cars.
Two more chassis were completed for 1959, DBR1/4 being a conversion of a DB3 while DBR1/5 was a spare chassis sold to privateer Graham Whitehead. With four team chassis Aston Martin again competed in the World Sportscar Championship, a non finish at the Sebring 12 hours, resulted in a non appearance at the Targa Floria, but a third consequative victory at the Nurburgring, this time for Stirling Moss and Jack Fairman put the season back on track. With a 1-2 at Le Mans following, chassis number DBR1/2 of Carroll Shelby and Roy Salvadori, leading home DBR 1/4 of Maurice Trintignant and Paul Frére. The World Championship was now a close contest between Ferrari and Aston Martin, entering the last race of the season, at Goodwood, Aston Martin entered three cars as well as the privately owned DBR1/5 of Graham Whitehead. During refueling DBR1/3 caught fire in the pits, destroying the car and leaving the team with no pits. To salvage Aston Martin's hopes of a championship, Graham Whitehead withdrew his entry from the race in order to allow Aston Martin to use his pits stall and finish the race. Able to continue, Stirling Moss, Carroll Shelby and Jack Fairman in DBR1/2 were able to secure victory and the championship over Ferrari, the only World Championship won by Aston Martin.

A beautiful looking car, albeit a replica the ASM R1 sell for around £ 95,000, but what price one of the original 5 cars .
