David Radley strains to get every last bit of power from his 500cc solo machine during the 2014 Lincolnshire International Poacher at the 1,000m Thorpe St Peter circuit near Wainfleet. Radley's kevlars are sponsored by former speedway rider Tom Owen's plant hire business. The annual Poacher meeting, now in its 22nd year and one of the biggest in the British grasstrack calendar, is organised by Wainfleet and District Sporting Motorcycle Club.

The design of the 365 GTC was basically similar to that of the last 330 GTCs built, the major difference being that the engine bay air inlets were now on the bonnet and no longer on the flanks. There were more significant changes to the refined mechanics : the new, large V12 engine offered more generous torque at medium revs, greater flexibility and livelier acceleration. Approximately two hundred were built.

Sigma Apo 5.6/400 (Nikon AF)
A purchase of catastrophes and failures .. I bought it on a cold and humid morning on the flea market and some condensed water was visible inside. No problem I thought, when I put the lens on a warm and dry place, it will vanish. But it didn't, instead I read in a forum, that the lens sometimes was offered as "foggy", which is quite a correct description. So, disassembling and cleaning was announced. I started from the rear side with only small difficulties - the ball for the click-stop of the f-stop ring is placed stupidly, the electronic board is glued on and I destroyed three screws. Fortunately 1.5 mm screws are Japanese standard, so I found replacement in my lens junkyard. It turned out, that the foggy element was under the focus element (the lens has internal focusing), deep inside. It is not possible to remove the focusing element from the rear side, even if the focusing mechanism is disassembled. Then I considered to open the lens from the front side and looked for a helpful video on the net. The one I found showed, that the housing is the lens barrel itself and I would have to remove every element separately. Not even that, the front element is hold by a very thin ring and the author of the video destroyed it, and I'm convinced, he worked very professionally. Okay, from the back then: it is possible to bypass the focus element, because its bezel has two narrow slots at its side. The access is not very comfortable, so I made some tools, e.g. I bend the handles of cotton buds, etc. to reach the dirty lens under the focus element. I managed to remove most of the filth, but some dust remained, inclusive a pretty scratch. Nevertheless, the view through the lens is much better now.
The focus mechanism consists not of a common thread, instead it is a tube with two helix-shaped slots. The bezel of the focus element slides in them, guided by a kind of buttons. So the AF-drive of the camera needs only few torque. The focusing ring is parted in two rings, the one at the front moves the lens element, the one at the rear bears the distance scale and the stops for infinity and near. So you can easily adjust the infinity setting by twisting the rings against each other. The rings are connected to each other by a sticky tape (!). Okay, its actually a sticky metal foil, it should be solid enough. You have access to the tape, when you pull the rubber ring aside.
For focus adjustment I usually use a catenary pole as target, 150 m away from my window. Later, when using the lens outside, it turned out, that 150 m are (clearly) not sufficient, for 400 mm focal length better use 1000 m. I was able to correct the focus adjustment under field conditions without tools ;)
Another problem was the rubberized housing of the lens. With the time the rubber mutated into very gluey stuff, a common phenomena of some old Sigma lenses. I needed much Acetone and more tissue to remove it, and I wiped out some marks and writings. Surprisingly the f-stop index survived the procedure, and I didn't touch the f-stop numbers. The window with the distance scale and the telescope sun shade are plastic made, they kept some traces from the treatment. Now, instead of rubber you can feel the cold, solid metal.
In a forum for nature photography I read, that 400 mm focal length is a complete other league than 200 mm, and that's true. It's not easy to find proper subjects, if you don't want to photograph distant animals. The perspective, the compressing of things, is phenomenal.
Another aspect is the need for a solid tripod. I think, for further telephoto experiments I'll use a second tripod to support the lens at the front.
The lens hasn't a very good reputation. It is rated much lower than the later macro version. It has 7 elements in 6 groups, and it exists a previous non-AF version. The nearest focusing distance is 4 m, the filter thread is 72 mm. Though it is named "APO", it is not necessary apochromatic corrected, Sigma used that term also for "Advanced Performance Optic".
Well, for € 12,- I got an interesting acquaintance, hours of pleasure and novel thoughts.

Have to break the seal to take the top off the first time (on the left). The torque arrow is inside the bottle on the right. Now a cross view of each side. That should be fun.
This is one of my favourite shots of the day. Check out the tire sidewall on the rear tire! Now THAT is power put to the road.
The announcer made sure we all knew that this car here is putting our over eleven hundred (1100) horsepower from a (I am likely remembering this number wrong) 2.7 litre engine. For comparison, the current-generation stock Dodge Viper produces 600 horsepower from an 8.4 litre V10 engine.
This isn't a fair comparison though. The vehicle depicted here runs on blown alcohol. You don't get that at your local gas station, nor at your local liquor vendor.
Graham dropping off the Torque converter to me ready for its trip to Glasgow. The unit will be mounted on a lathe, cut open and overhauled before being welded closed and balanced. We could already see its pump drive (silver bit) is heavily worn so it will be cut off and a new one welded on.

De kersverse Alfa Romeo Giulia moet van het merk weer een vaste waarde maken op de Nederlandse wegen. De Italianen barsten van het zelfvertrouwen en we gaan je uitleggen waarom.
Rijeigenschappen
Nog afgezien van het fraaie uiterlijk en de potente motoren, heeft Alfa Romeo een sterke troef in handen met de Giulia vanwege de rijeigenschappen. Zoals bekend is de sedan achterwielaangedreven, maar da’s nog niet al het goede nieuws. Alfa Romeo is er namelijk ook in geslaagd om de D-segmenter een perfecte gewichtsverdeling van 50/50 te geven, inclusief een carbon aandrijfas. Bovendien is de Giulia te bestellen met opties als een sperdifferentieel en Alfa Active Suspension, voor nog meer rijplezier en beter weggedrag.
Motoren
Qua benzinemotoren valt de keuze uiteen tussen de 2.0T met 200 pk/280 pk en een 8-traps automaat enerzijds, en de snelle 2.9 V6 Quadrifoglio anderzijds. Deze laatste versie is heeft een handgeschakelde versnellingsbak met zes versnellingen of 8-traps automaat en is goed voor maar liefst 510 pk. Met een Nürbrugringtijd van 07:39 sloopt deze Alfa de concurrentie.
Het aanbod aan dieselmotoren blijft beperkt tot één blok, dat in meerdere uitvoeringen en met verschillende vermogens te verkrijgen is. Het vermogen van de 2,2-liter motor loopt uiteen van 136 pk tot 210 pk en is desgewenst met een 8-traps automaat óf met een handgeschakelde zesbak te koop.
Design
Een punt dat in het kader van het roemruchte Italiaanse merk natuurlijk niet mag worden overgeslagen. De Alfa Romeo Giulia hint duidelijk naar de geweldig mooie auto’s die het merk vroeger bouwde en toch heeft de nieuweling een eigen gezicht. Bovendien zet Alfa Romeo met de Giulia een representatieve auto neer, wat zeker voor de zakelijke rijder van belang is.
De Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio is uiteraard nog een stuk dikker dan de meer gangbare versies, zonder dat de 510 pk sterke topper van de range schreeuwerig of ordinair wordt.
Uitrusting
Standaard is de Alfa Romeo Giulia uitgerust met een groot aantal veiligheidssystemen, cruise control, dualzone climate control en het Alfa Infotainment System inclusief 6,5 (8,8" tegen meerprijs) inch display. De Superuitvoering doet daar 17 (19" Quadrifoglio design tegen meerprijs) inch velgen, aluminium instaplijsten en een bekleding van stof en leder bovenop. Desgewenst kan de Alfa Romeo Giulia worden aangekleed met het Sport Pack, het Driver Assistance Pack en het Luxury Pack.
De topper van de range, de Giulia Quadrifoglio met 510 pk, komt met carbon delen aan het exterieur en alcantara sportstoelen.

The 30-98s used the Prince Henry chassis, they were distinguished by having more-or-less flat rather than V-shaped radiators, with an engine developed by Lawrence Pomeroy, Introduced in 1913, but only 13 were built before civilian production was suspended during WW1 and those only to selected owners. Full production resumed in 1919, with an electric starter as a a £50 optional extra, though electric lighting, a clock, speedometer, spare wheel and tyre, full tool kit and number plates were standard. .
The 30-98 E was built up to November 1922, its engine was a development of the four-cylinder monobloc fixed cylinder head, push rod operated, L-head side-valve engine of the Prince Henry but enlarged to 4,525 cc by increasing the stroke The new crankshaft ran in five bearings with pressure fed lubrication. A single Zenith carburettor was fitted.[ The engine's power output was 90 bhp.
The 30-98 OE was introduced in November 1921 the engine was updated, fitted with overhead valves and detachable cylinder head and renamed OE. The stroke was returned to its original length which gave a slightly smaller capacity of 4,224 cc but power output was up nearly 30% from the original to 115 bhp and low speed torque improved. The car and its wheelbase were lengthened four inches and widened three inches making more room for passengers and more comfortable seating.[
A further 313 cars were built between 1922-27

Ferrari Ownership Requirements 12/7/2020
To own a Ferrari would fulfill the fantasy of many car enthusiasts. The famous Italian automaker excels in delivering luxury sports cars that bear a signature and unique exterior without sacrificing performance. This is only half of what makes the cars special though.
Ferrari's culture separates the company from other automakers in huge ways, affecting both its owners and the workers behind these miraculous machines. Although the company is one of the most valuable, it cares about something more than just earning money: it’s about making special cars that offer a driving experience unlike any other. When examining the company and its owners, it’s clear they’ve achieved this milestone, even after all these years.
Owners have to go to great lengths if they want the latest and greatest cars Ferrari churns out. Employees have to follow rules and regulations if they want to uphold the most important thing to Ferrari—which is not about making cars, but the brand itself. Whether one is a Ferrari owner or an employee that works at their factory plant, everyone has to follow the "Ferrari code."
It’s because of these rules that the brand is exclusive and widely coveted among car gurus today. If someone wants to own a Ferrari, they’re going to have to play by the company’s rules. The same goes for employees if they want to work at, what Autoblog notes, a company that won the award for Best Place to Work in Europe for 2007. We’re going to take a look at known rules both owners and employees have to follow if they want to remain in the good graces of Ferrari.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
20 - Owner Rule: Forced To Sign Contract Agreeing Not To Sell Car
People today become bombarded with agreements written in fine print. Most people don’t have the time or patience to read all that agreements detail though and decide to sign on the line regardless. According to Autoweek, Ferrari in the US makes their customers sign a contract upon purchasing a new vehicle.
In that agreement is a clause that prevents owners from reselling their car in the first year. The automaker makes buyers sign this in an attempt to discourage owners from flipping their cars. This is both a reminder to read the fine print and further demonstrates the automaker’s stringent protocol placed upon new owners.
19 - Employee Rule: Forbidden From Buying New Cars
Last September, Ferrari unveiled a pair of Roadsters long-time employees can appreciate. Even if the employees want the cars though and can afford them—tough luck. The Drive reports that the company makes their vehicles first and foremost available to the public.
One of Ferrari’s executives, Enrico Galliera, had this to say about employees getting second dibs on new cars: “The philosophy is that with such limited production and clients waiting so long to get their car, it's not nice if the car is delivered to employees.” The only exception to this rule are Scuderia Ferrari F1 drivers who can buy one from the company.
18 - Owner Rule: Leave The Logos Alone
Ferrari believes that as soon as their car rolls off the production line, it's perfect as is. There’s no shortage of Ferrari owners who feel differently though; here’s photographic proof of owners who took their Ferrari rides for granted. If Ferrari had it their way, they’d opt for owners to leave their iconic logos untouched.
According to Tech Dirt, the electronic DJ and artist Deadmau5 got in trouble for covering up his Ferrari logos with custom ones. His 458 Italia “Purrari” sports a blue vinyl wrap that has a Nyan cat painted on the side. It’s a move Ferrari supposedly issued a cease and desist order over.
17 - Employee Rule: Communicate On Their Terms
Ferrari has gone to extremes to sell cars before by tampering with some odometers on used cars, so it’s only natural they’d apply radical policies in the workplace as well. It appears that too many employees were reaching for the keyboard on too many occasions instead of opting for old fashioned face-to-face communication.
According to The Guardian, the executives at Ferrari advised their employees to “talk to each other more and write less.” Since it should be pretty easy for supervisors to monitor their employees’ computer activity, it's safe to assume workers adhere to this directive in order to stick around.
16 - Owner Rule: No Pink Ferraris
Ferrari isn’t fond of pink Ferraris. That’s what Executive Lifestyle reports, despite the company tolerating some customer paint jobs. The disapproval of pink came directly from Herbert Appleroth, the President and CEO of Ferrari Australia. “We do reject the exterior color pink,” Appleroth said, as per the same source.
He went on to say that Ferrari would never produce a pink car. Without a doubt, red is the most iconic color they wrap their cars in. At the same time, the company promotes the idea that no two Ferrari rides should be identical, they just wouldn't go so far as to stand out with a pink paint job.
15 - Employee Rule: No Discounts On Cars
Working for certain companies has its perks. For one, it allows employees to buy products made and sold by that company at a discounted rate. This luxury, however, is too generous to bestow upon Ferrari employees.
According to The Drive, should Scuderia Ferrari F1 drivers choose to purchase a personal Ferrari, they're required to pay full price for it. That puts them in an awkward position, considering it’d be hard to spot team members driving in anything else but a Ferrari; in a way, it forces their employees to invest back into the company without a price concession if they want to properly represent the brand.
14 - Owner Rule: Accept Ferrari’s Right To Buy Back Car
In an earlier entry, we noted that Ferrari in the US has made buyers sign a special contract. While that contract discouraged owners from selling their new Ferrari, it also adds another stipulation: the automaker can buy the vehicle back.
According to the site Car Keys, if someone wanted to get rid of their LaFerrari Aperta, it’s pursuant for Ferrari to purchase the vehicle back from the owner. It would appear that on the surface, Ferrari would rather the car go to someone who wants it instead of someone who doesn't. This is all part of that special contract owners may sign at the time of their purchase.
13 - Employee Rule: Sworn To Prevent Security Leaks
Whether someone is an actor in an upcoming Avengers movie or an employee at Apple, the bigwigs in charge want to keep details under lock and key—that includes any plot spoilers and future product releases. Ferrari is a similar company that’s always making new vehicles while wishing to work in secrecy.
To maintain a level of mystery, the whole operation depends on trustworthy employees. According to Kaspersky Lab Daily, something as simple as copying data to a USB drive has to go through an approval process. This in turn discourages employees from going routes that may lead to a security breach and exercises a higher level of caution.
12 - Owner Rule: Must Love The Ferrari Brand
The world is full of sides, clubs and camps. Those who are outside of them get picked on unless they join a team, while those inside a base pledge undying loyalty. Ferrari is no different. It’s more than just an automaker—it’s a special culture with its own philosophy, style and following.
As the site Car Guy points out, the company sifts through applicants and chooses who gets to buy certain models because they want to make sure their cars are properly taken care of. It’s a sure bet they’re going to pick someone who’s not just a Ferrari fan, but also lives and bleeds the brand.
11 - Employee Rule: Prohibited From Sending Certain Group Emails
Expanding further on an earlier point, Ferrari went to great lengths to crack down on employees emailing more instead of talking to each other. As a means to curb digital communication so that employees would talk to each other directly, they added terms to sending emails.
As per The Guardian, a spokesman for Ferrari said, “From now on, each Ferrari employee will only be able to send the same email to three people in-house.” This must have been a wake up call for employees at the time and discouraged them from falling into old habits of CCing everyone in the whole company on a single thread.
10 - Owner Rule: Buy Not One, Not Two, But Multiple Ferraris
Owning a Ferrari isn’t exactly enough to be a part of the club. As the site Car Guypoints out, it’s more suitable to own several Ferrari cars before one feels part of the bunch. That narrows down the list of potential owners to only a handful around the world with how much they cost.
Even older models are going up in value, as the 1964 Ferrari Prototype demonstrates. The same source points out that the most committed owners, at minimum, are the ones who upgrade their old Ferrari to a newer model. It’s not enough to purchase a one-off Ferrari and call it a day if someone wants to be a true fan.
9 - Employee Rule: Required To Wear Red And White Uniforms
An amusement park can make its employees wear costumes that match the park’s theme; a restaurant may have its employees wear a vest and bow tie; an office requires business casual attire. Ferrari is like most jobs, requiring its employees adhere to a dress code.
According to Freep, those on the manufacturing campus must wear red and white uniforms. They have the company’s iconic yellow logo stitched on, which unites all the employees under the same banner and purpose. There are plenty of people around the world who would love to wear these uniforms, but only a select number ever get to suit up in one.
8 - Owner Rule: Be Older Than 40
Despite Ferrari being one of the most famous car brands today, many people aren’t aware of its history or the automaker's philosophy. There are so many facts about the legendary automaker, we dedicated a whole piece to things most people don't know about Ferrari.
It’s not unusual for potential owners to go through a rigorous process that feels commensurate to a background check. According to the site Car Keys, automaker won’t hesitate to request a customer’s history of ownership for review. Even more, the same source suggests that Ferrari dealers are more likely to sell a car to a new owner who’s over the age of 40.
7 - Employee Rule: Formula 1 Team Must Win
When Scuderia Ferrari struggles, it affects the whole company. The site News.com.au reports that despite being the "most iconic team” in Formula 1 racing, Ferrari was unable to secure a Grand Prix win in 2016. The team only has one remedy when this happens: winning.
As F1-Fansite points out, they were able to bounce back in early 2017, with Vettel winning the first race and securing 5 race wins. The Formula 1 team not only represents the automaker but carries the pride of the entire brand. It’s important that they do well in order for the brand to continue thriving.
6 - Owner Rule: Treat Fellow Ferrari Owners Like Family
Buying a car from certain automakers, such as Tesla, Porsche or Ferrari, feels like joining a family. When someone purchases a Ferrari, they enter into a brotherhood and sisterhood alongside fellow owners. As the site the Car Guy notes, entering into the Ferrari fraternity means that owners help each other when the need arises.
This is one of those unspoken rules the automaker hopes and expects its customers will follow. Even outsiders who don’t own one may find it easy to support someone who does as an expression of their admiration towards the brand. Ferrari owners got to stick together.
5 - Employee Rule: Must Adopt The “Formula Uomo” Philosophy
The company not only cares about its customers, but its employees too. They recognize that these are the people that make it all possible. Autoblog reports that Ferrari launched a project called “Formula Uomo” in the 1990s which lays down many of the tenants employees live and breathe by.
The same source notes that this philosophy deals with the working conditions, one’s professional growth and personal benefits. Each individual is important and must embody these principles in order for the whole enterprise to work properly. As a Ferrari employee, “Formula Uomo” lays the groundwork for one’s success while working there.
4 - Owner Rule: Must Have Fame, Fortune And More
To own some of the world’s best supercars, all it takes is a lot of dough. If that wasn’t enough though, Ferrari raises the bar on what they expect from their owners. Part of what makes their cars so exclusive are the limited number they make. Take the LaFerrari for example, which Wired reports only 499 exist.
In order for their cars to get attention, they have to give them to owners who can not only afford them but put them in the spotlight. The same source notes that even high-profile buyers who applied for the vehicle weren't able to land one.
3 - Employee Rule: “Clients First”
Ferrari cares about its customers. The company doesn’t treat its clientele as a dollar sign—although they do get a lot of money for the cars they deliver—but instead seeks to make a bond with its owners. The company is like a father who’s entrusted his child with the keys to the treasured car.
They want to know their cars are in good hands, which is possible through respect. That’s why they make clients a priority. The Drive reports that Enrico Galliera, a Ferrari executive said, “It is clients first.” Behind those words is a whole company of employees who live by this aim.
2 - Owner Rule: Respect Ferrari’s Way Of Doing Things
No one likes obeying rules. If there’s a realm with enough rules as it is, it’s driving on the road. The last thing people want is more rules they have to follow as a car owner. Under the Ferrari umbrella though, there are lots of expectations one has to follow as an owner.
That means going with their unique way of doing things. The site Car Keys reports that the automaker’s politics, including their selection process for who they deem is eligible to purchase limited edition cars, is one such rule owners have to follow. It may not be easy to accept, but it’s part of playing the game.
1 - Employee Rule: Protect The Brand At All Times
Ferrari has managed to be an independent automaker over the years while still making loads of money. Part of what makes them so successful is the brand’s reputation, which is about making flawless cars that perform well.
One of the executives, Stefano Lai, as per Freep said, “My job ... is to protect the brand as much as possible.” This is a principal that trickles down to employees, affecting their conduct and the image they project in and out of the workplace. Many employees likely have the Ferrari logo on them throughout the day, making them an extension of the company wherever they go. That means they have to watch what they say and do since they represent the company’s image.

"The AH-64A "Apache" is a twin-engine attack helicopter built by Hughes Aircraft Company. The "Apache" is designed as an offensively capable attack helicopter for anti-armor operations in day, night and adverse conditions.
"On December 10, 1976 the U.S. Army selected the Hughes design and awarded a contract to begin production in 1977.
"The AH-64A has a four-bladed stainless steel, fully articulated main rotor and a four-bladed tail rotor with blades at 60/120 degree angle to each other for maximum quieting. Avionics include a Martin-Marietta Target Acquisition System/Pilots Night Vision System which uses specialized optics, forward looking infrared television, and laser designation tracking and range finding system.
"The main armament includes a 30mm chain gun capable of being aimed through the pilot's helmet system. The gun points in the direction the pilot is looking. The stub wings are equipped for mounting a variety of rocket and missile ordnance. This helicopter is the second prototype developed. It was flown in the T tail configuration which has the horizontal stabilizer mounted at the bottom of the tail fin and the anti-torque mounted near the top.
"The AH-64A fielded today is one of the most sophisticated combat rotor wing aircraft to be produced."

BRASELTON, Ga. — Chevrolet begins a new chapter in its storied racing legacy with the introduction of the new mid-engine Corvette race car, known as the C8.R. The C8.R will be Chevrolet’s first mid-engine race car to compete in IMSA’s GTLM class and the first clean sheet race car design since the C5.R debuted in 1999. It will make its racing debut at Rolex 24 at Daytona on Jan. 25, 2020.
The C8.R is based on the strong foundation of the 2020 Corvette Stingray. There is a deeper level of technology transfer between the race car and production Corvette than ever before, which helps contribute to many of its advancements. As a result, the C8.R shares the highest percentage of parts between the production and race car than any previous generation.
Since certain features of the 2020 Corvette Stingray aren’t necessary in a racing environment, the engineering and design teams found innovative ways to get benefits out of every part of the vehicle. For example, on the C8.R, a single centrally-mounted radiator was placed in the area used as the front storage compartment on the production Corvette. Ultra-bright racing headlights were packaged on the race car where the radiators are located on the production car.
In compliance with IMSA engine displacement rules, the C8.R will feature a 5.5L naturally-aspirated V8 engine, producing 500 hp and 480 ft.-lb. of torque.
A new compact Xtrac six-speed sequential gearbox was developed in order to provide room at the rear of the C8.R to package a race car specific diffuser.
