I like how you don't get a sense of the scale until there's a human in the image. It could almost be a normal sized engine and then you see someone's legs and it's

That's exactly why I posted the photo of me sitting inside the crankcase. Kastein I've had a look through all of my ship folders and I can't find a single other picture of the ratcheting arrangement. BUT! I do happen to have a service manual for that engine. I'll do some digging and see if I can find it.

It is very interesting how most of the technology just scales up with no change. Fascinating pics

The engines already cost stupid amounts of money, they probably don't notice the cost bump relative to increased efficiency/power etc.

Came to post this. I like to think the truck n trailer were being replaced anyway so they said gently caress it. Plus they are probably one of the cheaper parts of F1 racing.

I can't help but think of the undoubtedly reserved Japanese designer first putting that shape to paper. There had to have been at least a few chuckles.

Went to a little car show thing today. Keep in mind I'm in New Zealand so some of these cars may seem quite commonplace to you guys but are very expensive and difficult to obtain here. Some may also be in the wrong thread, depending on your tastes. Flood of lovely pictures incoming!            The only japanese car there.                            More          This was the single solitary German car there.   And finally:   It's a Lexus v8. While I was looking at it the overweight and extremely inbred looking woman nearby proudly told me "It's home-built!".

The rest look the best, but that last one looks the most fun, because you drat well know you could trade 500 bucks and a broken skidoo with no seat for it come rent day and it's not like you have to worry about scratching it up.

That buggy at the end is awesome and nobody can convince me otherwise. Needs some more aggressive tread on the tires though.  E: also I would DD that merc limo and make people buy me lunch to ride in the back.

I'm purchasing a home and this has been sitting in the driveway. Along with some older Harleys in the garage. Alas, I don't think any of it conveys. (Can anyone identify the car or tell me anything about it? The license plate on the back says "1K R7") There's currently an oil drain pan underneath it, and there were another few oil drain pans in the 'trunk' of it when I looked more closely.

So good luck!

Looks like a '47 Pontiac to me, I know a guy with a car almost identical to it.

I'd drive that errday.

Rare bird; if memory serves correctly, Pontiac only offered a convertible Grand Prix for one model year. 1967

(gently caress me I should have bought one. I was standing right there with my GTO keys in my hand, I'm an idiot, I'm an idiot, I'm an idiot.)

Can someone explain how you cut a hood this precisely around such an irregularly shaped object? I've always wondered how they do this.
