I was watching an old movie called "the bank shot" that had this wicked little ford N600 in it and that got me researching ford N600s, which led me to this.  which is a ford NLT 950 which is totally fuckin rad. look at the size of that steering wheel.

All cab over trucks belong in this thread. They are truly awesome and only exist because of stupid American laws of the 70's. Most are gone or hidden in some old trucking company's back lot. I have seen one in the past ten years and it is sitting inside a shop's storage near my house surrounded by Mercedes of the W123 variety.

That's a funny difference between the US and Europe. In Europe you rarely see anything except cabover trucks, while in the US they seem really rare. Old cabovers are pretty cool though.

Today I went to the Salon Privé event at Blenheim Palace, I've never seen so many super/hyper cars in one place before. Here's a few of the photos that I took:               Among others there were two La Ferrari, 2 Porsche 918, 3 Bugatti Veyron, 2 Bugatti EB110, 2 Jaguar XJ220, 2 Ferrari F40, 1 Maserati MC12, two Ferrari 250 GTO(!), one McLaren F1 GTR, one Ferrari FXX, more Lamboghinis, Ferraris, Aston Martins and Paganis that I could count!

That's the replica DB4 that some UK company will make you if you hand them a DB9 and another 100kGBP, right?

Saw this in thumbnail form searching for something else and thought it was a pretty good image of a roots-type blower. Then I enlarged it realized that was a guy.

They also use Roots blowers for stuff like ventilating mineshafts, so it could be for that.

That looks like a rotary screw compressor, so it's probably used in some sort of industrial scenario where they need a lot of compressed gas. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_screw_compressor

If I recall correctly that Chevy blew the heads off the block the first time it fired when they tried to see if it would work.

At that store I rarely see carts out in the lot. The grocery store I stopped at after I left there was an entirely different story, carts everywhere in the lot getting blown around by the wind. Two Finger posted:i think he was making a joke about the rear spoiler I wasn't. I've seen people get within 10 or 15 feet of the cart return and give the cart a good shove and hope for the best. I usually try to find a curb to park next to or just park at the far end of the lot to avoid damage. I need the exercise anyway.

Save for the local Wal-Mart parking lots, where no place is safe from loose carts, I tend to park next to returns and curbs to avoid getting dinged by someone's door.

Under Suzuki's aero package has been updated for the upcoming WTAC: Tilton, the current fastest car, also has some new parts:  Really looking forward to seeing what happens this year.

Here's another shot of that turbine sprint, in supermodified trim at the Copper World Classic I miss the supers and the CWC https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZZy2JK8PT0 Those cars should never race at tracks larger than a half mile, running them on a mile is insanity.
