This week I've decided to upload something different from Landscape photos. I took this photo tonight at my local skatepark, www.unit23skatepark.co.uk Check them out!! This is the first time I have properly used the D800 for action photography! I used my Sb-600 to light the scene. The skater is a local professional Chaz Sands

Special:
- Until 1943 Ernst Heinkel Flugzeugwerke GmbH had only produced airplanes. When they were not allowed to built them anymore after WWII, they started to produce mini cars, like many German aircraft manufacturers (like Messerschmitt).
- Ernst Heinkel designed the "Kabineroller", witch looked very similar to the BMW Isetta. But the Kabine was not only better looking, it was lighter, more aerodynamic and had more inner room.
- In contrast to the BMW Isetta, Heinkel kept the steering mechanism separately from the door, thus avoiding complex compounds.
- The fabric sun roof served as an emergency escape hatch should the sole door in front become jammed in a collision.
- The Kabine series was assembled in Germany, England, Ireland and in Argentina.
- Heinkel stopped production in 1958, sold everything to Dundalk Engineering Company in Ireland, but the bubble cars were produced by Trojan Cars Ltd., whom produced the "200" until 1966.

I went to Milan Dragway with my wife and a few friends yesterday - it was a beautiful day for the races. I shot this particular image as a car was leaving the line - love how the grip from tire to track makes the tire wrinkle up as they accelerate.

I am very sorry about possible inconveniences ...

Although Austin had made six cylinder cars since 1909, they had mostly been aimed at the chauffeur driven trade. Introduced in January 1931 the 12-6 was instead intended for the owner driver. The engine was a fragile four bearing six, typical of the small sixes briefly popular in the early 1930's and came with bags of torque though restricted performance, top gear would pull from 5 to 55 mph with the 1496cc Harley aimed at the lower tax bracket and sibling more reliable 30bhp 1711cc Ascot. This particular model was a stop gap and was built only between December 1933 to August 1934. Bearing some Harley and some Ascot features. The key identification being the chrome radiator.
This was the first Austin to have an all steel body, from the Pressed Steel Company- The original standard saloon came with a three speed gearbox with the Deluxe introduced in 1932 having four speeds

This is my current pride and joy. He is ( I know most cars are females) a 3 owner 1971 Mach 1. I've totally redone the 351 Cleveland engine and added a AOD trans, the over drive gear makes a huge difference. Except for the new Torque Thrust rims, the exterior and Interior are basically stock. I like it like that..

Hamar women adorned with cowrie-shell collars, seeded necklaces, copper and brass bracelets, glass-beaded goatskin clothing and iron marital torques. The upper torque with phallic protrusion is wrapped in leather signifying first-wife status. They are worn for life.
The favoured hairstyle consists of long, tightly twisted strands rubbed in a mixture of fresh cow butterfat, ground red ochre and tree resin from southern Ethiopia’s lower Omo Basin. A Christian-cross earring is worn as an added adornment.
A graceful gait, an elegant long-limbed stance - with poise and dignity even in the midst of the weekly market bustle. Set against a mud wall under the noonday equator sun on market day in Turmi, a small Hamar frontier town in Ethiopia's remote Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples Region.

Special:
* The original intention of the JPS was not just to manufacture 100 for the UK but also 100 apiece in the “rest of the world” or USA markets that provided up to a third of total volumes when the Lotus export effort was “on track”. One Lotus employee did provide the JPS total and information is that 147 were probably made: 94 for Britain; 10 for California; 16 for the other 49 US States and 27 for the “rest of the world”.
- Colin Chapman (owner and founder of Lotus Cars) had a long-term sponsorship relationship with the John Players Special cigarette company. The relationship worked so well that "Team Lotus" was the most successful team in Formula one racing for its time.
- The Commemorative Edition Esprits Series was a special edition to commemorate Lotus' victory in the 1978 F1 World Championship.
- Model “Type 79” referred tot he wnning Lotus 79 John Player Mark IV Formula 1 car, raced by Mario Andretti.
- The body was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro from Italdesign Giugiaro S.p.A in Moncalieri - Italy.
- Lotus never developed or built a convertible Esprit, custom manufacturers stepped in to fill this market.
- The 907 aluminium-block 4-valve engine has been used in Jensen-Healeys, nicknamed "The Torqueless Wonder" for its lack of bottom end but good high end horsepower.
Making slow bug steady progress on the build. Waiting on one last order to arrive now. I printed some custom wheels with the unusual torque springs.
As my Himmy was in having it's MOT I was able to take out a Royal Enfield Classic 650 twin for a test drive!
Cool bike, loved the power (and the extra gear!)
Well balanced and easy to handle..
