For the car guys...

Happy Thanksgiving ya'll!

Here's a treat as sweet as pumpkin pie ---

Yes indeedy, the McLaren Technology Centre in Woking has opened their virtual doors to Google StreetView!  Enjoy the walk around this state of the art facility.





Since Honda and McLaren are joining forces in F1 for 2015, I'll add this treat here as well... Honda revealing a bit of their F1 engine technology

Much shock.
So fire
Wow.

Kinda feel bad for the guy in the trunk though...  [big grin]



 
That kinda reminds me of my first car a 1953 Chevy which I had to pay all of $35 (used of course) but after one year, I was still able to sell it for $10.

This'll bend some minds...

Donk'y Tuesday?



Hi-Risers are a type of highly customized automobile, typically a traditional, full-size, body on frame, V8 powered, rear wheel drive American-built sedan modified by significantly increasing the ground clearance and adding large-diameter wheels with low-profile tires. Depending on the model and style of body, autos customized in this manner can be labeled "donk," "box," or "bubble."

Hi-risers originally grew out of the Dirty South subculture, but the trend has spread across the United States. Vehicles customized in the hi-riser style are distinguished by their oversized (even disproportionate) wheels, ranging from 20 inches to 30 inches or more in diameter (largest being 50 inch), as well as fanciful custom paint-jobs and expensive audio equipment. Suspension modifications similar to those employed on lifted pickup trucks are made to give adequate clearance for the large wheels. Often the suspension is modified so the front end sits slightly higher than the rear end, giving the car a swaggering appearance. Because of the exaggerated look gained from installing a lifted suspension and enormous wheels, donks are also known as "hi-risers" or "sky-scrapers."

*thumbsup

Question then would be... if we are ever so lucky, would you rather a P1, or the original mack daddy, the F1?

Make you a deal -- If I ever win the lottery you get a vehicle of your choice if you'd return the favor if you win it big.  Deal?  ;)

(for those really lazy and have not clicked the Jalopnik link, here's the video... lol)
 
If you like motorcycles and burnouts...

This is my bike that I built with my friend Chris. It's a 990cc 101rwhp AWD KTM Adventure and it's one of a kind. I thought it would be fun after we built it to do the worlds first two wheeled motorcycle burnout. It was. I shot the video with my friend and studio partner Tommy in an afternoon. Of course I also rode it too so mostly I was placing cameras and GoPros.

Okay, back to building my house.
