Wait, wait! You are saying muscle cars don't have to be portrayed as rolling death machines that would suck your soul out of your body and spit it out just as soon as look at you? They aren't intended to show how tough you are by just by a single press of the gas peddle? Are you saying the can be fun?...I'm ok with…

You rang?

In aviation it isn't duct tape. It is Speed Tape. You can do amazing things with Speed Tape. It is aluminum foil tape.

I attended an industry meeting where an engineer from Boeing presented on their efforts with Lotus and 3D printing. Looks like a good program for both companies. Lotus gets access to some high end aerospace know how and Boeing is exposed to the fast paced world of an F-1 team. The large OEMs sometimes struggle with…

P2 may not be the most glamorous level, but it fits better with a global engine program that can be utilized in other forms of racing.

The Spirit of Delta 767 and the newly added 757 and DC-9 were towed over to the Delta museum. Thing to keep in mind that the museum occupies Hamgar 1 and this was part of the original airport ramp before the big terminal was built. There are large gates on the south east corner of the DL general offices and the cargo…

Delta has just opened a new and fairly snazzy museum in ATL. I wonder if they would take it.

Please send this to those nice people. I believe they need it to wash their shorts.

The correct answer is to race and brew.

nice write up. We road tripped our 2003 Evo, with kids, a few weeks ago. It had been a while since I had done that. It was great. All you said. The handling, the noise, the brakes, the giant wing. Just good fun.

Not sexy, but the technologies that go into automotive metal shaping need to get some props. Without the ability to effectively, quickly and affordably fabricate metal parts we wouldn't have the great shapes and safety we expect.

The world needs more off-road Porsche. It really does. It works for some reason.

it would probably work just fine, but I would stay away from the idea of pitting them outside the standard pressurized envelope. Just too many issues with keeping pressure, food, coffee and a toilet in a pod. Also, I don't think These guys would be thrilled.

sadly, confirmed.

Can't tell right now as the event sold out and I can't see the values. I want to say it was around £80 for a Friday pass.

been twice myself. Best ticket in Motorsports.

did you see the Indianapolis Motor Speedway blew the motor in the Marmon Wasp, first car to win the 500, a year or two ago. They are trying to figure out if they can put it back together.

Marshall is actually a British company and that is a British car. Note the Santa Pod on the tail. That is a British drag strip. They know how to make some noise over there as well.

A funny car happened last year.

When went to the FOS in 2006 Petty was there. Hat, sunglasses and big smile. The Brits loved him. Waltrip and McReynolds were there as well, but didn't draw as much of a crowd. The FOS is such an awesome celebration of all things motoring. Not just Euro stuff. Bikes, drag cars, rally, flyovers by the RAF and…
