They have an incredibly 90s website that explains things a little better. http://www.osmoswheel.com/index.asp?lang=en quote:Idea : Reduce the rotating part to a bare minimum. The transport museum where I grew up had a hubless motorbike in the 90s and I stole the idea at college for one of my design projects. I remember also seeing the idea in some cyberpunk anime around the same time, hubless wheels with huge disc rotors running on the inside of the rim. Fingertip braking

Powershift posted:how have i never seen a 2CV being shifted before That's when the gearbox is rotated isn't it? So the shift lever doesn't sit on top of the box but perpendicular to it, so you have to move the lever along another axis in space? Crap I think I'm confusing something. I know there was a French car where the gear box was located in the engine bay. So the shifter in that center console was essentially just a rod, used to operate the actual transmission lever. Imagine you're sitting in the back seat of a normal car and having to operate the shifter with the handle of an umbrella, that's how that worked. So, when you wanted to shift from 2 to 3, you had to move the shift lever into the dashboard, so to speak. Lord Stimperor fucked around with this message at 21:56 on May 24, 2019 |

Some years ago, my parents bought a shed from their next-door neighbor. Cleaning it out today, we found a box of 1957-60 hot rodding magazines. All together, they make a ten-inch stack, about 50 of 'em. Eventually I'll get around to scanning them or selling them to somebody who wants to put in the effort. Cover story of Car Craft, September 1957:  Overhead valves were apparently new and interesting when my parents were in elementary school.

Thats a fuckin sweet collection. I'd read the poo poo out of some old hot roddy type mags. Speaking of Overhead valves being "new and interesting". I remember on some import car message board I was on years ago, and some of the ricers were making fun of " 'duh-mestics' cause there old an' stupid with there pushrods". They were pointing out that OHV = old and stupid, OHC = modern and way more awesomer. Someone mentioned that overhead cam engines had been around in some type of form since the late 1800s (don't ask me what engine or company made them it was some possibly obscure european company from way back then), and I pointed out that "umm so like what you're saying is that OHC technology is actually OLDER than OHV? Yet you guys are calling OHVs "old"? They didn't like my pointing that out and were all "well yeah, but OHV SUX cause duhmestics" or some such.....

Don't support bad media and support good media and the problem should solve itself. At least in your personal experience. I know DeMuro exists but have yet to watch any of his stuff because I know he was an awful writer, a job that lets you think out what you're doing before you do it and then let's you cobble together a cohesive thought even after writing.

Yeah, that doesn’t work because other people exist and watch that stuff, and the YouTube algorithm can’t determine poo poo about quality, just category, so you’ll always get crap stuff recommended just because it also has cars. Pumphrey was way more chill and a lot less annoying earlier on, and the annoyance of his character has a pretty close correlation to their subscriber count. They all do that poo poo because it works at generating an audience, and then we get stuck with it filling our recommended feeds.
