1964 Ford Galaxie 500 Convertible
R-Code 427/425 HP, 4-Speed
Building on the 410 HP Q-code version using a single 780 CFM Holley 4-barrel carburetor was the R-code version, which employed dual inline 650 CFM Holley 4-barrels for a factory rating of 425 HP at 6,000 RPM and 490 lb-ft of torque. Listed at $462, the R-code engine required a 4-speed manual transmission and included an upgraded driveshaft and universal joints, heavy-duty axles, suspension and brakes, and 15-inch wheels instead of the standard 14-inch units. This is one of only 204 Galaxie 427 convertibles built in 1964, as documented in a letter from Ford Motor Company attesting to that fact.

The Lancia Flaminia was introduced in late 1956 as a 1957 model to replace the aging Lancia Aurelia line. Whereas the Aurelia carried the rounded looks of its 1950s design heritage, the Flaminia looked forward to the sharper edges of the 1960s designs.
While Lancia made the mechanical underpinnings and Pinin Farina drew the basic design, coachwork was farmed out to Italy’s finest design and bodywork houses, including Zagato, Touring, Pininfarina and Ghia. This resulted in a number of different special editions, including a special aluminum-bodied fastback by Zagato.
The Flaminia debuted with 2458 cc V-6 engine rated at 98 hp and 137 lb-ft of torque. An optional high compression version of this engine was available for sedans and was installed as standard equipment on coupes and roadsters. The optional engine was rated at 119 hp on coupes and 140 hp on GT coupes and sedans. In 1963, Lancia upgraded the engine to 2775 cc and 150 hp. That engine was used through the end of the line, though the vast majority of Flaminia production happened between 1957 and 1963.
The Flaminia carried a four-speed transmission, and all were rear-wheel drive. Where the older Aurelias used a sliding block front suspension, the Flaminia used modern control arms and coil springs at the front end, but maintained the standard semi-elliptic leaf springs supporting a solid axle at the rear. Four-wheel disc brakes were standard on all Flaminias from the beginning of the line.
From the beginning, various coachworks supplied a variety of body styles under the Flaminia name. The original 1957 design was a pillarless four-door hardtop, but starting in 1958 Farina delivered a two-door coupe while Zagato offered a two-door fastback. There was aldo a two-door Spider convertible, and Touring made a two-door GT coupe as well. Through the 1960s, a variety of bodies continued to come and go. After 1967, production was limited to the original four-door hardtop, known by Lancia as a pillarless sedan.
Throughout the entire run, just 8,745 Flaminias were made. About 6,750 were delivered with the 2.5-liter V-6 engine, while about 2,000 were made after the larger 2.8-liter engine was introduced in 1963.
The Flaminia offered excellent performance for its day. Boasting 0-60 times of about 8.5 seconds and a top speed that could reach 130 mph, Lancia’s sports car was more than respectable. Prices started high, ranging between $6,000 and $7,000 through the early 1960s, but only rose as high as $7,600 in the mid-1960s for the most expensive sport coupe models. The vast majority of Lancia Flaminias hovered around $7,000. For reference, that was about half the cost of a Ferrari 250, and twice the price of a basic Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider in 1960.

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.

In 1961 the Series IIIA was announced with the Series II Sunbeam Alpine 1,592 cc (97.1 cu in) engine.
Externally and internally the Series IIIA was identical to the Series III. The improvements were directed solely at improving the durability of the car. To this end, engine capacity was increased and a stiffer crankshaft fitted. To increase reliability, the crankshaft incorporated larger diameter connecting rod bearings which called for modifications to the connecting rods and gudgeon pins. Modified oil and water pumps completed the engine changes. As a result, power output increased from 78 bhp (58 kW) to 80.25 bhp (60 kW; 81 PS) at 5,100 rpm and torque increased from 84 lb·ft (114 N·m) at 3500 rpm to 88.2 ft·lbf (119.6 N·m) at 3,900 rpm.
In addition, the Series IIIA included many detail changes such as an increased diameter front anti-roll bar which greatly improved roadholding, a redesigned clutch bell housing, a revised clutch assembly with nine pressure springs instead of six and a redesigned air cleaner assembly. Inside the car a fresh-air heater, hitherto available only at extra cost, became a standard fitting. All of these changes combined to make the Series IIIA subtly different from its predecessor and to give the Sunbeam Rapier a new lease of life in the showroom.
Maximum speed for the Series IIIA was lower than the Series III at 90 mph (140 km/h). It also took longer than the Series III to get to 60 mph (97 km/h) (19.3 seconds) but its engine was far more durable.

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.

WIT: A sparkling candle that doesn't sparkle much; flash; and a long exposure.
The inspiration here is 'Torque' by Kristin Hersh. Download, free & legal, in high quality here. Lyrics here. I only discovered her music some three years ago, and now listen to it all the time. Especially since I found out about her latest album.
Just now I found this page with the history of the song. Anyway -- the photo is about this bit here where a human being's very nature is explored and questioned.

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.

Special:
- The “Classic Bird” or “Little Bird” Series (1955-1957) was Ford's successful answer to the Chevrolet Corvette (1953) and named after a bird from Native American mythology representing power and strength. It was designed by Lewis D. Crusoe, Frank Hershey and George Walker.
- It was at first shown at the 1954 Detroit Auto Show as concept car and at first introduced in 1955 as a real luxury sports car.
- Only for three years the Ford Thunderbird was built as a two-seater, in the base identical to differ only in the details. Like only the ’56 model had the spare tire mounted on the rear bumper (Continental Kit) and the ’57 model (spare tire again in the trunk) became little tail fins, a restyled grill, fresh bumper designs, larger brakes, stiffer chassis crossmembers, a 12-volt electrical system and new 14-inch wheels.
- Top of the line was the rare, only 205 units built (by Pete DePaolo in California, under factory sponsorship) Thunderbird Convertible 312 Supercharged V-8 overdrive or “F-Bird”: CID 312 (5113cc) V-8 engine - 304 bhp / 4.800 rpm - 595 Nm / 2.600 rpm - Holley 4-barrel carburettor with McCulloh/Plaxton centrifugal VR-57 supercharger - four-speed manual gearbox - 203 km/h (with a Ford-O-Matic three-speed automatic transmission 199 km/h).
For the Macro Monday theme of measurement I have chosen a torque wrench with a 3mm and 5mm socket - this is a wrench for by bikes both road and mountain bike as on a carbon frame it is important you measure the force you apply when tightening bolts or fixings.
