Indeed. I was at one of those. I think it was the second to last one...

I had the great pleasure of seeing one of the final live performances in person. It is an utterly insane experience in a full stadium, with bombers flying overhead, drifting pigs, and Roger Waters in full leather jacket and red-armband machinegunning the crowd while a 50 meter wide wall is blaring animations at you

For some reason the picture didn't want to load. Let's try it again:

2006 Mazda Rx8 231bhp

I would think a wet system would be better for 'reliability' purposes. Of course, reliability is relative with nitrous oxide, but you've got much less chance of accidentally leaning the thing out if you give the nitrous system its own dedicated fuel line. That way, the all the engine ECU has to worry about is the air

Reminds me of how awesome the Episode 1 trailer was.

The simple answer is that it's too much when you don't feel happy driving it afterwards.

P0420 should be familiar to anyone who owns an Rx-8.

That makes far more sense than I expected given the title. 100 businesses flying banners overheard is enough to potentially be causing a nuisance to the park's guests

How a Rotary Engine works, from Mazda. It's very 1967.... and better for it.

I love a good Wankel....

I've seen that before, but as a 3-d rendering in a magazine years ago. It's a custom-built machine, built to order with the V-twin providing hydraulic drive to the front and rear wheels.

The BMW K-series have to be up there - especially because it actually made it into production, with the basic design going well beyond 2 decades. It's basically a BMW car engine thrown on its side and stuck into a motorcycle frame, then combined with a car-style fuel injection system. The electronics were hideously

Not quite. Wing-warping had its problems at the time - it required a very flexible wing which limited what could be done with the wing and at higher speeds would actually cause control reversals and the like and make the craft uncontrollable because the whole wing was so flexible. Higher speeds need stiffer wings.

I have a very strong hate for everyone in that crowd and I can't quite explain why. At least the two drivers had a fair lump of sense not to make a mountain out of a molehill.

That turbocharged Legacy towards the end. Some compressor surge off that.

Wankel engine'd cars.

We have a similar ongoing problem in Ireland, whereby stations are mixing kerosene in with petrol, and people are driving halfway across the country before the engine falls apart.

I dunno. Anyone not currently involved in the echobox is sick of the noise coming out of it. That is the one thing said about this I'll publicly agree to.
