I had to pull a bolt form the exhaust manifold to bend the shield out of the way so I could fit the spark plug in.

Romer Shoal Light is a sparkplug lighthouse in Lower New York Bay, on the north edge of the Swash Channel, about ¾ nm south of Ambrose Channel and 2½ nm north of Sandy Hook, New Jersey, in the entrance to New York Harbor.
Pictures of the Robbins Reef Light from on board the Royal Caribbean Anthem of the Seas at the beginning of our week-long cruise. The Robbins Reef Light is a sparkplug lighthouse that dates from 1883 (replacing a light that was built in 1839). It is very close to Cape Liberty in Bayonne, New Jersey. I was able to see a number of lighthouses in New York Harbor this trip. On board the Royal Caribbean Anthem of the Seas for the Seven Night Labadee & Puerto Plata Cruise (November 6th through 13th, 2022). The cruise embarks from Cape Liberty (Bayonne, NJ) with stops at Labadee, Haiti and Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic before heading back to New York City. The itinerary changed after Hurricane Nicole canceled our planned stops.

Roamer automobiles were built from 1919 to 1926 in Kalamazoo, Michigan. They were 'assembled' automobiles, which means the components were purchased from automotive supplier companies and then assembled at Roamer's plant. This practice was typical of many low volume automobile companies that did not have the resources to design and build their own parts.
Roamers were known as sporty automobiles and their designs reflected the look of the Roaring 20's with rakish windshields, low body lines, thin fenders and wire wheels. Two models were produced, a lower priced model which was powered by a 54 horsepower, inline, L-head six-cylinder engine manufactured by the Continental engine company and a more expensive model which was powered by a 100 horsepower Rochester-Duesenberg four-cylinder engine.
This engine used valves which entered the combustion chambers from the side and were operated by means of a complex, external rocker arm arrangement. This engine design was built in 1914 by the Duesenberg Brothers and used in many race cars during the period as well as a few high performance passenger cars such as the Kenworhty, the Revere and the Roamer

Fast forward just three years and now the staid man in his shirt and tie and shop coat and some factual information about the product has been replaced with a glamour girl astride a formula one type car and promises of loads more cash if you buy more Champion spark plugs. Everything about this is a totally different approach to just three years earlier and shows just how much changed in that short era from 1965 to 1968. It's all moved on again since - the gradual eradication of this sort of undisguised sexism is definitely a step forward and such blatant money making promises are more cleverly disguised if essentially still the same in the present day.

As the holidays approach, we have a great client we work with on every album release, so we decided to make them something unique as a gift and thank you for their extra help.
Built in 1884 but inactive from 1955 to 1997. 66 foot tall cast iron sparkplug type lighthouse, with 3 galleries, 2 upper and 1 lower all built on a concrete caisson. The interior contains a 3 story keeper's quarters. The light signal is a white or red flash, depending on direction, every 6 seconds. Distinguished from other sparkplug type lighthouses in the area by the red dome over the lantern room.
Located at the entrance into the Sakonnet River. Rescued from vandalism and ldeterioration and restored by an active volunteer group.
Being intimately familiar with the catacombs that make up his home, Insecticon soon finds his way back to the Hive and transforms.
Shrapnel: Insecticon returns, Bombshell *bombshell*! He has the key *key*!
Bombshell approaches the captive Minicon, Sparkplug.
Bombshell: Are you prepared, slave?
Sparkplug offers nothing more than a nod with a vacant expression.
Bombshell: Excellent! Insecticon, surrender the key!
Insecticon obeys his commander and offers the key to the diminutive slave. Kickback and Shrapnel cackle with delight.
Bombshell: We now possess two pieces of the puzzle! There is but one more! Kickback, organize a transmission... with Cobra-La!

Oxford Bus Museum & Morris Motors Museum
The museum tells the story of bus and coach travel around Oxfordshire over the last 130 years. The exhibits include a historic preserved horse-drawn tram, motor buses, coaches and a wide selection of artefacts including bus stops, ticket machines, timetables, posters and staff uniforms.
Since 2004 the museum has also been home to the Morris Motors Museum, which charts the story of how these classic British cars and commercial vehicles were produced at Cowley in Oxford.
The link between William Morris founder of Morris Motors (who later became Lord Nuffield) and buses in Oxford, can be traced to 1913 when he and a partner started the first motorbus service in the city.
