Nacelled Wright R-3350. Some beauties never loose there looks, and no there's no blood in her lines, shame....
The $143,000 dollar Porsche 911 GT3 is one of the highest performing sports cars in the 911 lineup and is designed primarily for ultimate track performance. With a 4.0L flat-six engine, the 911 GT3 achieves up to 500 hp with 338 lb-ft of torque and a top speed of 197 mph. You had better know what you are doing when you get behind the wheel of this monster because you could get into trouble real fast!

Farmall 656 tractor sitting next to a couple of grain bins near Alvo, NE. The coffee can on the exhaust is not a factory item.
Destined to replace the 06 series, the 56 series was introduced in 1965 with a single model: the 656. International’s Farmall 656 was billed as a 12-month worker, efficient enough to handle lighter utility work and powerful enough to pull a 4-5 bottom plow.
The Farmall 656 was released as an individual model without much fanfare. In the first production year, only Farmall versions of 656 were available. Customers could order their 656 with one of two available six-cylinder engines. The C-263 gasoline or LP engine provided about 64 horsepower at the power takeoff. The D-282 diesel offered about the same power but with more torque, longevity, and fuel efficiency.
Power is the name of the game.
In order to create the much needed power you have to have the gigantic wind turbine to twist and torque it's way towards generating energy.
Pushing on that trigger is like pulling magic into my very soul...Darrell.
Have a safe and fabulous year 2022 dear Flickr friends !

The McLaren W1 is a limited-production hybrid hypercar from British manufacturer McLaren Automotive, succeeding the P1 and continuing the marque’s “1” lineage. It was unveiled in October 2024 and production is set to begin in 2025, with just 399 units planned.
It uses an all-new 4.0 L twin-turbo V8 coupled with an electric motor for a combined output around 1258 hp and 988 lb-ft of torque. A lightweight carbon fiber chassis and active aerodynamics give the car strong performance figures: about 0-100 km/h in 2.7 s, 0-200 km/h in 5.8 s, and a top speed near 350 km/h (217 mph).
The W1 features rear-wheel drive, an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission, advanced suspension, and aerodynamics inspired by Formula 1 technology.
A Honda NSX drove past, and apparently only 148 of them were ever brought into the UK.

1951 Cunningham C2R (race), one of three that Briggs built to compete in that year's LeMans.
Very few privateers have been as successful in sportscar racing than Briggs Swift Cunnigham. Born as a rich banker's son in 1907, Cunningham got actively involved in motor racing rather late at the age of 41. He had previously backed others, but he did not drive himself until after his mother died, who very opposed to him racing. His first race was at Watkins Glen and the car was a Buick / Mercedes-Benz hybrid, known as the 'Bumerc', the construction of which Cunningham had backed in 1939. This race really spiked his interest in road racing, in which he actively participated for two decades.
More than anything, Cunnigham was interested in long distance racing and he set his sights on the most legendary of all, the 24 Hours of Le Mans. He did not just want to win the event, but he wanted to be the first to do so with an all-American team. After the Duesenbergs and Millers of the 1920s, very few American successes were scored in Europe. Prepared by Phil Walters and Frick and with the help of 1949 winner Luigi Chinetti, two Cadillacs were entered in the 1950 Le Mans race. One of these was fitted with a stock body, but the second was fitted with a custom built, supremely ugly body, which for obvious reasons was nick-named 'Le Monstre' by the French.
Although the cars were not on the pace, the 10th and 11th place finishes ensured that Cunningham's entries for the 1951 race would be accepted by the picky Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO), which organized the legendary race. To take on the strong competition Cunnigham bought Walters' and Frick's shop to form B.S. Cunningham Co, which was based out of West Palm Beach, Florida. Over the winter of 1950/51 a prototype racer was constructed, the C-1, powered by a Cadillac engine. Cunningham quickly abandoned the Cadillac engine, because of a complete lack of support from the company. He turned to Chrysler, who were willing to support the development and offer their HEMI engines at a 40% discount.
Dubbed the C-2R, the HEMI powered Cunningham was a sophisticated and well constructed affair. A simple, but effective steel tubular frame chassis formed the basis of the C-2. It was suspended at the front by unequal A-arms and at the rear by an exotic DeDion rear axle. The only gearbox available strong enough to cope with the Chrysler Firepower's enormous torque was a Cadillac three speed 'box. The package was clothed in a simple aluminium barchetta style body. Being very well built and very large, the Cunningham was rather overweight, which made the car very hard on the brakes. This was made even worse by the lack of engine braking by going down the gears compared to other cars fitted with four or five speed 'boxes.
Chrysler modified the Firepower engine to produce around 250 bhp, from the 180 bhp available in stock form. Despite the enormous weight of the car, the C-2Rs proved surprisingly competitive. Three cars were entered livered in white with two blue stripes, the first use of racing stripes ever. Two crashed out, including this car, but the third car held 2nd position when a bearing and valve failure threw it back considerably. It eventually finished in 18th position. Back in North America, Cunningham started to rack up victories with his racers. At the West Palm Beach factory work was started on a new racer for 1952 and a road car, of which the ACO required 25 to be produced to make Cunningham eligible to run as a separate manufacturer.

Special:
- Many people believe the VOLVO 244 and 245 with Volkswagen D24-engine was VOLVO’s first diesel car, but actually it wasn’t.
- In 1965 the Månson-company had the idea to replace the B18-engine of the P210 DUETT with a 4-cilinder Perkins diesel-engine and try to sell them in series, needed for the heavy work like quarries, mining industry or forestry.
- Replacing the B18-engine with a Perkins-diesel wasn't easy. The transmission needed adjustments, the exhaust needed modifications, engine mounts and supports were also different and many other modications needed to be done before the engine was installed properly.
- The engine itself wasn’t very cheap so it was an expensive job. So the Perkins-project on the DUETT wasn’t a success.
- Malte Månson tried to convince Volvo to use a Perkins diesel-engine in the VOLVO 144 but that project was stopped after just one 144 Diesel-engined prototype.
- The diesel-equipped DUETT was officially not sold by VOLVO but VOLVO didn’t forbid Malte Månson AB to sell the DUETT’s with the Perkins-diesels.
- This P210 Diesel is the only one in The Netherlands and it is believed that it is the only one in the world with an original Perkins 4.108 Diesel engine. Other restored DUETT’s have different engines, like Renault- or BMW-diesels.
- The name DUETT stands for use at work as for leisure time, two cars in one: duet.
Flight safety is enhanced through the use of torque paint (aka, torque seal, torque stripe, indicator paint, tamper paint, ...) which is a quick drying brittle paint applied to certain critical parts such as push-rods or propeller bolts.
After the part is properly tightened, the mechanic applies a dab of paint indicating the step is completed. At each pre-flight the connections are checked. Any movement or loosening will cause the paint to crack and flake off indicating there is a mechanical problem impacting safety.

My bmx bike desperately needs a service. I'm going to give my bike a deep clean, check all bolts with a torque wrench, breathe life into brakes, replacing old, worn tires with quality all-condition rubber to give my bike more consistent grip and braking control on the drier trails. And finally, I'll treat the chain to a proper clean and degrease it before re-lubing with a high quality product to get things running smoothly again. Then my bike will be ready for a long ride in Second Life :o) Do you like cycling?

Special:
- The sales of the Fiat Nuova 500 Giardiniera (”gardener”, 1960-1965), designed by Dante Giacosa, were disappointing and FIAT production ceased in 1965.
- But when FIAT took over Autobianchi in 1968, they restarted production in Desio as Bianchi Giardiera, based on the proven technology of the Fiat Nuova 500D Giardiniera.
- The closed Van model was called Furgoncino and with large build-up was called 320/2.
- The suicide doors remained until end of production in 1977, while the coach became “normal” doors in 1965.
- Many FIAT lovers replaced the Autobianchi logo.
- Bianchi was founded by Edoardo Bianchi in 1885 (F.I.V. Edoardo Bianchi S.p.A) and stopped car production in 1939 (1900-1939).
- It is the world's oldest bicycle-making company still in existence.
- Autobianchi was re-founded in 1955 by Bianchi, FIAT and Pirelli.
