It'll be terrible. I hear as well as cars, there are semi-naked women and a bar!
The things we do for our friends across the water!

I can only promise photo's of bums and cleavage, but, admit it, that's all you really want.

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

Chris, did you get a Digi cam and mirror stand for Christmas?  
7 out of 10 people suffer with hemorrhoids. Does that mean the other 3 enjoy them?

Yes, want loads of pics of tits, bums, clever gadgets, neat ideas, latest ingenuity, email and www addresses, in roughly that order.
Have a ball you lucky swine! 
Cheers, Rorty.

One good thing about amateur photos of cars (not amateurish, just amateur) are that they are the only way of getting a photographic record of what a
car actually looks like. Professional photographers and the people who employ them (magazines, manufacturers, ad agencies etc) are obsessed with
trying to make the car look good. They do this by taking quarter views, usually from a low angle. You can go through an entire magazine and not see a
single picture of a car taken from the side.

Good point John.
Very few cars look totally gorgeous from every angle.....it's only natural you want to show off the best for publicity...
The show vistor, however, can be a lot more honest..

Have a look at my photos. I'm afraid there are no photos of the wonderful bits of fluff there though!

God I miss the UK! 
From what I've seen, this Hayabusa based V8 engine/transaxle from Maxsym was the jewel in the Autosport crown.
Aparently it is just a mock-up, but what an awesome bit of kit!

There was a twin bike V8 on the Radical stand which was £12000 of your earth pounds!!!! Nice bit of kit. What's next i wonder?

I think it's about time we saw a resurgence in back-yard-built pulse jets! Cheap, light weight power in the true Locost tradition.
Cheers, Rorty.

Ever since the earlier post that drifted off into a link to a turbocharger based jet engine I have been perusing the various home built jet engine
sites on the web (pulse jets, ram jets and turbines).
It looks like a load of fun to me - They are very very noisy and spew out flames - what could be more fun? (Well lots of things really, but you get my
drift).
I am definately going to have a go at accumulating all the bits for a gas turbine, leaving them half assembled around my workshop for years and then
getting sidetracked into something even more interesting before throwing them away.
Phil.
