# [The “100 at 100” speedo picture][9]
So back in 1990 my beloved 1986 GTI was approaching 100,000 miles, something that I thought was just the coolest thing ever. I got home from work on a Friday and the odometer was about 40 miles short of the magic 100K. A thought began creeping into my warped little mind. Could I hit exactly[Read more about The “100 at 100” speedo picture[…]][9]

Some are car-related, others are either just plain cool or funnier than hell… Right click on a picture and select “save link target as” to save each video to your machine.

# [Petter Solberg does Ouninpohja][15]
The SpeedTV coverage of the 2003 Rally Finland featured this great clip from the bumpercam of Petter Solberg during a run through the Ouninpohja stage. Ouninpohja (pronounced Oh-nin-poe-ya) is one the greatest stages in the whole WRC, full of flat-out high speed corners and massive jumps bordered by rocks and ditches that can tear off[Read more about Petter Solberg does Ouninpohja[…]][15]

# [Skoda Fabia video feature][18]
During the Rally Xtra show after Rally Germany SpeedTV did a short segment featuring Nicky Grist looking over the new Skoda Fabia and pointing out some of its features. I’m not sure if this segment was broadcast in the rest of the world, so I thought I’d post it here for you Skoda fans to[Read more about Skoda Fabia video feature[…]][18]

Honey, if I’ve told you once I’ve told you a million times, when you’re parallel parking the dump truck be sure to watch out for the the kid’s little red toy truck!      The story as I hear it is that the big Cat was waiting for the service truck (the little Ford).  While waiting[Read more about Squish![…]][21]

# [NW Region of Ferrari Club of America visits Jon Shirley’s little collection…][24]
My apologies if I don’t have some of the model names down correctly.  While Jon was giving his guided tour and giving details of each model, I was shooting the rest of the cars.  It was the only way to get some shots without 20 people around each one! This engine is absolutely a work[Read more about NW Region of Ferrari Club of America visits Jon Shirley’s little collection…[…]][24]

It is based on David Kimble’s drawing which he did for Road & Track. I have two versions of this file: The Normal file is 1024×500 pixels and around 227K in size. It has a moderate amount of detail. Suitably sized for a Windows background. The Big file is 2500×1200 pixels and around 720K in[Read more about The Amazing F40 Cutaway Drawing[…]][27]

Every Sunday evening I rotate two videos up onto the site. So if the video you want to see isn’t up right now, check back next week. Each video comes in both large and small versions to accommodate those of you on dialup as well as high-speed connections.. All the videos use the Divx5 codec.[Read more about My Rally Videos[…]][30]

# [Yanking The Crank At 18,000 rpm][33]
The delectable artifact I’m examining at the top of this page is a piston and connecting rod assembly from last year’s Ferrari Formula 1 racing engine. The design and dimensions of these components reveal much about how today’s Fl engines extract 800 horsepower from just 3.0 liters of displacement. The diameter of this piston measures[Read more about Yanking The Crank At 18,000 rpm[…]][33]

# [Homemade valve spring compressor for watercooled VW four cylinder engines][36]
Here is the homemade valve spring compressor I made when my Golf broke a valve spring.My mechanic had a professional valve spring compressor that he let me take measurements off of and I just copied the design with materials that I had on hand. This tool consists of three parts: a “L” shaped mounting bracket,[Read more about Homemade valve spring compressor for watercooled VW four cylinder engines[…]][36]
