This happened as well in the early days of the espresso machine (offtopic will follow)

That one. I want that one. It's like a Zagato. Not a 'classical' sense of beauty such as an E-type or the 2800cs that followed it, but just having that bit of a ragged edge to it.

That's quite a lot of counterbalancing. Hit a pothole?

The problem with these early 911 Turbos was turbo-lag, where all of the power would come suddenly after a bit of a delay. This sudden boost created a tendency for these cars to swap-ends in the corners, giving them their deadly reputation. Manage the boost though, and you had one of the fastest cars in the world at…

Macca is Fezza's competitor from Woking

I do hope 'Isle of Man time' catches on. Macca should go there with the P1. That should do the trick.

Automotive wind tunnels are nice. But due to the lack of scaling effects and low Reynolds numbers (ratio of inertial vs viscous forces, think of it as wind speed to size) not very interesting from a wind turbine point of view, discounting the rolling road.

You'll never be a road cyclist until you stop doing triathlons anyway

Yeah, and at '6-7' pounds just for the frame, they're also heavier than a common Reynolds 531 steel frame.

Ceteris paribus, a wood structure will be stiffer than a steel structure that weighs the same. This has been true for ages and is also the reason there have been quite a lot of planes made from wood, and not many made from steel. When facing aluminium shortages, Howard Hughes made his Hercules from wood. As did…

TESTAROSSA

A car for everyman – the first to top a million built in a year – yet with a spec in spitting distance of a Cadillac or Lincoln. Pragmatic, conservative, proven technology that harkened back to the Model A in architecture, yet endures in today's F series. Confident, future looking envelope-body styling that set the…

I'm not getting worked up, I just stated that this article is not the time and place to start a discussion about the dietary implications of milk. It still is not. And yet you seem to be hell-bent on writing long stories about it.

I know you are excited about what you just read in cosmopolitan or your rag of preference about the latest health fad. But this isn't really the time and place to broadcast that to the world. And the insinuation that current racing drivers are unhealthy is also not appreciated (also, flat out wrong).

It's steeped in ritual like no other race in the world. To some people, Indy isn't a race, it's religion.

I'll take a stab at it:

Remind me again how everyone in Russia isn't dead?

Wes Ingram is the authority on Spica pumps. He literally wrote the book on them.

Do you have K-Jet? K-Jet is electronic. If you're talking about Kugelfisher, it's apparently roughly the same as SPICA, but SPICA was derived from the Alfa '33' racing cars, and as such required a competent mechanic and some specialized tools.

The second is the Spica Fuel Injection (which is so complicated, it has its own mini engine) introduced to beat US emission regulations. It's pretty solid once you figured out how to fix it, but that's a long journey standing still.
