Rod, Your last statement is correct only in part. Deaths by firearm in Australia have declined since 1996, which is often referred to in debate on the subject, but..... The decline in death by firearm is exactly the same as the decline before 1996. See this academic study; Gun...

This one perhaps?

It is to Bob we offer thanks for the device used to prevent misfuelling. Bob stopped and refuelled at an airport one day and due to the characteristics of the fuel, didn't recognise that his avgas twin commander had been refuelled with jet. The refueller didn't ask which kind of fuel was...

Fair to say that Kevin, like most of us, had to grow wisdom with age. Unfortunately, I'm practically in tears at the skill, creativity and determination shown in a build like this. Since I possess none of those qualities in the automotive field......

And it comes with wings!

I think one of those concepts that never went anywhere would be nice. Something like an Audi Avus VW W12 or a Bentley Hunaideres. In 2wd, ought to be reasonably within reach of the existing chassis concept. I've always had a soft spot for the Cien, I think I mentioned it earlier.....

Jack, Thank you!

Aye, that is the bear, only a couple of years before he died.

None of the 3 mustangs is being broken into.

Nah, I'd be happy with a modern rendition under a classic body with all of the safety improvements available from the 45 years that have since passed. Actually I'd be happier if I could afford that...

It appears that the XJ13 was intended at its commencement for entry to the 1964 season. Had the program continued uninterrupted to that point, it may well have been competitive on speed. As Hobbs comments suggest, it required development, so the adoption of the prevailing wisdom of the time in...

There was, in period, a proposal to re- engine the 962 with the v8 from the 928 and add a pair of turbos in the manner of the Sauber Mercedes. Fran, I notice that the 962 body is a later modified variety or is the IMSA tail? Does this contribute to or reduce the fiddle factor for the...

Ian, Not quite. The car in the video was backwards when it became airborne and nothing much will change that. The large fin is designed to disrupt the airflow over a sideways car at speed, which it does very well. Without the fin the top of he car resembles an aero foil which lifts the car...

Fran, Thank you.
