11072021-268 1970 Ferrari 512 S. This chassis had great success in racing before being destroyed accidentally by fire when used in the filming of the movie Le Mans with Derek Bell at the wheel. The car was badly damaged and was stored by the film’s producers until 1980, when Pink Floyd Drummer Nick Mason bought it. The car is now fully restored and seen here at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Chassis 1026 was one of nine 512 S that appeared as works cars during the 1970 season. It debuted in Berlinetta trim at the Daytona 24 Hours where Mario Andretti (who was partnered by Arturo Merzario) qualified on pole with a time 1.3 seconds faster than the second place Gulf Porsche 917. 1026 ultimately dropped to a creditable third place behind the two Gulf 917s. At Sebring seven weeks later, the works 512s arrived with reinforced chassis, 35kg less weight and an extra 40bhp thanks to an updated fuel-injection system. Ignazio Giunti, Nino Vaccarella and Mario Andretti took what would be the 512’s only win at World Championship level. 1026’s final competitive outing came at the Le Mans 24 Hours. It was one of eleven 512 Berlinettas entered; Derek Bell and Ronnie Peterson qualified 1026 in seventh, but unfortunately, Bell picked up an early puncture in the race. Then, during the third hour, 1026 was caught up in an accident which took four of the 512s out of the race. Reine Wisell was running his Scuderia Filipinetti example at drastically reduced speed through Maison Blanche as his windscreen had been covered in oil. Wisell was hit by Regazzoni's works car which was in turn hit by the other Filipinetti long tail. All three cars retired on the spot. In avoiding the melee Bell's car had registered excessively high revs and blew a valve a few minutes later. Afterwards, 1026 was purchased by Solar Productions for use in the Steve McQueen movie Le Mans. During filming (which took place between June and November) 1026 was crashed by Derek Bell. The car caught fire and was gutted. Once estimates for the restoration were filed, 1026 was sold to Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason. Mason had the car rebuilt with the original chassis repaired on a jig and fitted with a new body. New tie rods, rose joints, a new magnesium steering rack and a new brake system were also fitted.

11072021-312 1994 Williams FW16B ex-Damon Hill. The previously dominant Williams team found the passive suspension FW16 to be difficult to set up compared to the active suspension car run in 1993. After Ayrton Senna was killed at Imola, Damon Hill did his best to rise to the challenge of fighting Michael Schumacher for the title and raising the moral of the team, just as his father had done at Lotus after the death of Jim Clark. Hill won six times, including a stunning wet victory in Japan to take the championship down to the wire. Victory on home soil at Silverstone was another high point in a tragic season. Yet in Adalaide for the title decider, it was Schumacher who broke under Hill's intense pressure, controversially hitting Hills Williams and breaking the suspension as the Benetton driver rejoined the circuit. If Hill was the moral winner in Adalaide, it was his German rival who had taken the title. As well as Senna and Hill, David Coulthard would also drive for the team replacing Senna, with Nigel Mansell making four appearances, including a win in Adalaide. The car was updated to the FW16B from Germany, this version featured a longer wheelbase, revised front and rear wing, shortened sidepods, and the compulsory opened rear on the airbox and cowling in accordance with FIA regulations following the accidents at Imola. The shortened sidepods arose due to a necessity to use larger bargeboards after the front wing endplate diffusers were banned. This version of the car proved to be very fast and competitive.

The Ridgeline that Keeps on Giving I could shoot this rocky prominence all day long. As the lighting changed and the boat slid slowly past, I just kept racking up photos of this spot and they're all awesome in their own way. This one I exposed for the sunlit snow, which makes everything else dark and foreboding.
11072021-390 The 'Beast of Turin' was known for its fearsome flame-spitting engine - able to blow off onlookers' hats - and for smashing the world flying mile record. The S76 had a 4-cylinder engine with a displacement of 28.4 litres, providing 290 metric horsepower (210 kW) at 1400 rpm. Italian Pietro Bordino achieved 116mph on Saltburn Sands, North Yorkshire in 1911, with American Arthur Duray driving at 132mph in Belgium two years later. Two of the Fiat S76 models were were built between 1910 and 1911, but just one survives today because of the efforts of restorer Duncan Pittaway. The first S76 was constructed in 1910 and kept by Fiat. It was tested by Felice Nazzaro, who considered the 1,700 kg car ‘uncontrollable'. The second S76 was sold by Fiat to Russian Prince Boris Soukhanov, who hired first Bordino and then Duray in an attempt at the land speed record. Duray managed a one-way speed of 132.27 mph, but was unable to complete a return run within the hour allotted. The Beast of Turin was granted an unofficial title of world's fastest car due to this speed, but not made official due to being unable to complete the run within the time limit. Following the First World War, the first S76 built was dismantled by Fiat at the end of 1919. Soukhanov's S76, missing its engine, ended up in Australia, where it was rebuilt and re-powered with a Stutz engine. Its career ended when it was crashed at Armadale in the early 1920s while practicing for a race to the coast. Current owner Duncan Pittaway obtained an Edwardian Fiat chassis and had it shipped to the UK. After the discovery of the surviving S76 engine from the sister car, Pittaway started the recreation of the S76. Three major parts of the car needed to be recreated from scratch including: The double chain-drive gearbox, the body, and the radiator. All were created by referencing original Fiat drawings, and period photographs. In November 2014, Pittaway and his team managed to return the S76 engine from chassis number two to working order. Both cars may have been lost to history were it not for the efforts of Pittaway, who began his quest to resurrect the Beast of Turin in 2003, when he acquired the chassis of S76 number one. The 'Beast of Turin' has awakened after its century-long slumber. Goodwood Festival of Speed. Sunday 11th July 2021.
11072021-393 Former BTCC driver Anthony Reid in a 1997 Ford Escort Cosworth. The Escort was getting long in the tooth by 1997, but Carlos Sainz proved the car could still be competitive by wining in Greece and Indonesia. Consistant points scores by Sainz and team mate Juha Kankkunun meant Ford finished as runner up in the Manufacturers title. This chassis was used by Kankkunen, Sainz, Armin Schwarz and Jarmo Kytölehto in the 1997 WRC. Goodwood Festival of Speed. Sunday 11th July 2021.

KARMA Da sempre appeso al soffitto del mio soggiorno il protagonista è stato un vecchio lampadario vittoriano in ferro battuto.
Dopo oltre cinquant'anni di onorato servizio è venuto il momento di eliminare il rosone in gesso e il suddetto lampadario ormai obsoleto.
Per me è stato un upgrade desiderato da tanto tempo e carico di significato.
Karma è il nome di questo stiloso binario magnetico a componenti led configurabili a piacere.
Venduto da Guerra Lampadari di Venezia. Questa foto non è stata sponsorizzata da loro e il binario me lo sono comprato.

Traveling to photograph some of the world’s most iconic landmarks is one of my greatest passions.
Through my Canon RP camera and my new Sigma 600 mm lens, I aim to convey stories and emotions. I have a deep passion for capturing the beauty of nature, golden sunsets, and architectural details. Every photo I share carries a piece of my soul, and I truly enjoy reading your comments and exchanging ideas in this wonderful community.
Thank you for joining me on this photographic journey! I hope my images inspire you as much as your work inspires me.
A Winter Wonderland at Tiffany This photo is slightly deceiving at first glance perhaps - UP 7300 seen here is actually about to complete the crossing of train GSTEEV 21 over Turtle Creek and the beautiful stone arch bridge here at Tiffany, WI on a pleasant afternoon in December of 2022. This train of empty grain hoppers headed for loading at the coop near Evansville, WI had two units, with UP 8660 leading and this GE trailing as DPU. But with some nice low sunlight on this afternoon only a few days from the winter solstice, (and thanks to a rearward facing DPU) the side light worked pretty well to capture this scene in both directions from the air.
At least in the railfan world, this tiny town of Tiffany is pretty famous for this elegant bridge. The 5-span stone arch structure was built not long after the Civil War in the late 1860s. The C&NW's engineer reportedly modeled it on a similar bridge from France. If you look close you can see that it was strengthened with a reinforced concrete lining on the underside of the arches, which from records I've found apparently dates to 1930.
I can only image what the builders of this bridge would think if they knew that their handiwork is still being maintained and fairly regularly used over 150 years later by trains that can be over a mile long and many thousands of tons heavier than what they ran at the time. Or what they would think about the fact that now just an average joe like me would be able to attach one of those new-fangled "cameras" that is smaller than the palm of my hand to another object and fly it up onto the sky to get a birds-eye view of the scene....

Volkswagen Polo MkVI GTi INSTRUCTIONS AVAILABLE
The sixth-generation Polo was first unveiled in Berlin on 16 June 2017, and launched in late 2017. Based on the Volkswagen Group MQB A0 platform, it is claimed to carry improvements in cabin space, engines, and interior technology. It is the first Polo generation that is not available with a 3-door body style as well as the first passenger vehicle sold under the Volkswagen brand to be based on a shortened version of the MQB platform.
The Mk6 Polo is 81 mm longer, 63 mm wider and 7 mm lower than its predecessor. It has a wheelbase of 2,564 mm, which is 92 mm longer than the previous model. The adoption of the MQB platform brought an increase in rigidity and stiffness over the previous generation, where the stiffness has increased from 14,000 Nm per degree to more than 18,000 Nm per degree.
The Mk6 Polo GTI features a slightly detuned version of the 2.0-litre TSI petrol engine from the Mk7 Golf GTI. It produced 200 PS (197 hp; 147 kW).
Along with the engine, the GTI version came standard with lowered suspension, GTI badges, GTI bumpers, 17-in wheels, sill extensions, bigger brakes, red brake calipers, twin exhausts, tartan seats, sport steering, red stitching, and a roof spoiler.
