There's always something left on the platter after the meal.

What am I waiting for?

Engines. Sometimes you just dig them. The motor is the heart of an automobile or motorcycle. It can also be be the primary focus of the vehicle. Especially if it is the product of a famous manufacturer and is heir to a long history of racing success. Opening the hood can provide a world of satisfaction.


The Vincent.

What else could this be but British?

The Vincent was the World's fastest motorcycle during it's production run. It's all alloy construction and novel frame design kept the total weight of the motorcycle down. There were two carburetors fitted, and with the superior porting it allowed breathing at high rpm. The use of an advanced cam and follower design allowed the motor to achieve much higher operating speeds than it's contemporaries.

     I love these old cartoons. A lot of the situations they deal with were based on the tough reality of the 1930s.

Besides that grey Mustang I have my '07 F150. It was bought new six months before the Mustang, and it now is also not a "new" vehicle.

In praise of "Petrolicious."

Drive Tastefully

Petrolicious is a YouTube site that feature the most beautifully produced car videos that I've ever seen. The photography is exquisite, the choice of subject matter is eclectic. Antique, Classic, racing and collector cars and even motorcycles. These short movies will warm the heart of the true enthusiast, because we know that it is passion that drives out hobby, not money.
