Oh, a quick Google answered that one.

5,608,310 lbf⋅ft @ 102 rpm

But it probably runs at 20rpm and produces a million gazillionty torque.

Cripey !

That made me look at engine configurations again and it quickly got silly. Straight-fourteen sir ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straight-fourteen_engine The only straight-14 engine known to reach production is part of the Wärtsilä-Sulzer RTA96-C family of 6-cylinder to 14-cylinder two-stroke marine...

It’s not far from here, I’ve not seen the Delta parked there before but the resident is an obvious Italian car perv, that’s a Fiat Coupe peeking in on the right, and choosing matching yellow for whatever the thing is on the left is a strong move.

One for @integrale_evo ? Soft-top Delta:

And I just realised I missed my 911's 25th birthday !! Registered 26 March 1999. I've had it since Oct 2011.

The only real solution is a no tag no start or a ghost. Ghost is still CAN bus based though ? So although it's very clever it's only a matter of time before it gets hacked - as long as criminals can physically tap into the CAN bus wiring it's open to exploitation. I was thinking yesterday a mechani...

obs I wouldn't want it back if it was fucked. But a straight stolen and recovered with no damage/cost, no problem! Point is, you don't get a choice, and you don't know in advance what will happen when it gets stolen. If it's fucked but repairable without being written off it'll get repaired and giv...

Not sure why they don't only use a list of professional sites and online encyclopaedias to train it. Because who chooses which sites are OK ? It's censorship and whatever you do, whatever sites get blocked, someone will bleat about it being unfair and political and propaganda. You need a totally in...

There’s an OEM sausage holder available for the Range Rover. I think I’ll get a pair

Google’s AI is not quite producing the answers you might expect. Click the link, there’s a whole load of them.

I’ve posted this before, Wokingham is EXCELLENT for pizza. All three major brands next to each other.


And they all deliver, solving the parking problem !

Will it get away with those arches for the road? They barely cover the wheels. No need to worry, it will not be an issue. It's a wildly ambitious concept car that will never go into production cf: the new Griffith etc. Sniff Petrol August 2006: https://sniffpetrol.com/archive/BritSupercarForm.gif h...

Ooh, is it one of those driving experience days ?

No, I just needed to move them out the way so I could get the Aston out of the garage

Having said all that, I do find myself drawn to wanting a tracker. Something like this looks reasonable - £60 for the unit then £60/year subscription.

I probably wouldn’t want the car back, it just wouldn’t be the same. However I’d like the people caught. Probably wouldn’t pay £260 a year for a miniscule chance of that happening though 😂 I never really understood this concept, if I could have it back without cost then I'd happily have my car back...
