    Dynamic wing - what do you think?

    Well, it CAN control cornering speed given the fact that without angle control, you are making a compromise between cornering speed and straight line speed. If you can have both with a variable angle wing, then you are controlling both straight line speed (drag as you said) and cornering speed...

    Take backs

    ... well, a little. See Saddam targeted Bush, Rumsfeld daughters After all I've said in the past about Bush and Rumsfeld, my feelings change a bit knowing their immediate family and children were directly involved. That's heavy shit. I suppose one could argue it goes with the territory, but it...

    Unintended Acceleration Yesterday - GT40

    +1 - I was going to mention DO NOT lubricate your cable if it is at all plastic lined (typically Teflon as mentioned above) unless you carefully select your lubricant. We had always done that on throttle cables in the Formula Fords I worked on until one stuck; we then found out that the Teflon...

    Supreme Court Justice Paid Off

    Ha - yeah, UNLESS the president is republican, then it's all of a sudden not patriotic again. Are we confused yet???

    Ford vs Ferrari---Ford wins again

    Hey those Lambo pictures made me think of something I never thought of before: if you land on you're roof, how do you get out? Do doors like that have provision for opening "normally" in case of an emergency?

    What's Your Oldest Workshop Item?

    Well, for me it's my grandfather's 9" Southbend. He is a self-taught engineer and worked on many state of the art systems in the 50's and 60's. He's 94 or 95 now and still kicking. There are a few things I want to do that lathe, but then again I don't want to change it too much from how I...

    So you think you can drive?

    Looks like he's being a little too flamboyant on some of those turns... outstanding car control none the less.

    Royal Wedding Snub ?

    Oh jesus, another politically motivated bunch of nonsense. Apparently the wedding is not a "state occasion" since Prince William is not a direct heir to the throne so you will not find any heads of state invited, although supposedly Sarkozy is.

    Naked at the NEC

    Hmmm... well something about the overall design and execution of that car does not look like Gordon Murray. Is he still there?

    Tucson

    Yeah that's the scoop going around. Problem is, I have seen NO ONE yet, in connection with this statement, mention that he used the internet. Apparently he has a Facebook page and has put videos up on YouTube. You don't need to watch TV and listen to the radio to be in contact with all the...

    Tucson

    Veek - I understand and agree with your words. I do have to ask though- after 9/11/2001, did you spend the next few weeks solely thinking only about the victims of that attack? I don't ask that in an antagonistic manner either.

    Tucson

    Again, to play the devil's advocate here: That is an extremely valid point. I believe Palin's similar chart, taken by itself, is entirely benign and innocent. The problem is, that's not the only thing Palin and others have thrown out there. Their whole strategy is make people think that the...

    Tucson

    Well, I don't know about anyone else, but I'm not saying anything about the shooter's political affiliation. All I'm saying is that the political climate in general has degenerated overall. From his reading matter one would think he was from the far left. Oh jeez... did you look into the...
