The racer Moreno Suprapto promised the exhilirating struggle when appearing in the international Speedcar Series race championship that will take place on February 16-17 2008 in the Sentul circuit, West Java.In the first series race, Moreno that will match together his full sibling of Ana you Mikola, will compete with the former racing driver the Satu formula (F1) Jean Alesi from France, Johny Herbert (England) and Narain Kartikeyan (India).The "Speedcar race in Sentul later in fact almost was the same as NASCAR in the USA, but his difference in Sentul more bends and was estimated often mutual collisions between the racing driver will happen."


Now in the NASCAR circuit his form was oval and normal rather boring because the vehicle progressed with the high speed at the same time and did not have the bend, said Moreno in Jakarta, on Friday."For the spectator, the Speedcar race in the circuit like Sentul that many bends will possibly be more interesting and stressful, but I as the racing driver certainly more must be on the alert in order to the accident not happen," said Moreno that was accompanied by his father of Tinton Suprapto and Chandra Alim that represented Indonesian World Motorsport (IWM).

2009_Ferrari-dino

New dino ferrari 2009 is your dream.The car become the new Dino originally was half of a two-car Maserati program that used a shortened Quattroporte platform. The Dino is a two-plus-two that debuts at Geneva and will replace the GranSport coupe later in 2007.


This is a top secret a top-secret project for a new com in early 2009, entry-level Ferrari to slot below the F430. The car is ambitiously timed for a late 2008 launch. Officially, company executives scoff at the notion of such a Ferrari, but what if the new Ferrari wasn't, strictly speaking, a Ferrari? Just as was the case with the original Dino , Ferrari's new entry-level model probably will not be adorned with a Ferrari badge.

Bio-Fuel-Concept-on-NAIAS-2008:-Ferrari-430-Spider

at NAIAS. Biofuel Ferrari? Labeled as the 430 Spider Bio Fuel, the roadster runs on the familiar mix of 85% natural ethanol and 15% gasoline, which reports suggest yield a modest 2% increase in power. That's enough to bring the 4.3-liter V8's output up to 500 from the standard 490 with torque rising 4% and fuel economy improving by 5%

2008-ferrari-concept

here is come 2008 Ferrari F430 Spider Bio Fuel Concept

The ultimate goal for Ferrari F430 Spider Bio Fuel Concept is to cut emissions by forty percent by 2012. The company stresses that they will make this happen without compromising performance. On the F430 Spider, the fuel system and the engine control unit are modified to handle the ethanol fuel. With these changes, the Ferrari gains 10 hp along with a four percent boost in torque. On top of that, CO2 emissions fall by five percent when ethanol fuel is used. We see this as the first step - a baby step - for the company and we expect more changes in the future including the use of lighter weight components, direct injection, and possibly smaller displacement engines supplemented by turbochargers.

Ferrari-concept-of-the-myth

The contest, organised in partnership with Pininfarina and with the support of Alcoa - the company that produces aluminium spaceframes for Ferrari - has seen at work, in the last months, the most talented of each college.

The students have been challenging themselves in the production of scale 1:4 Ferrari models, innovative and fresh in style and functionality as well as in external and internal volumes, proposing stimulating alternatives to the internationally acclaimed shapes of the current and previous mid-engined eight cylinder cars and the front-engined twelve cylinder cars.

Quite a eyeful on the one I read, no punches pulled. Of course happy customers don't get excited enough to comment, only when people are aggravated and looking to get even for being abused , ignored, insulted, or aggravated do we go the extra distance to lash out or warn others.

The next time I find evidence of happy people taking the time to comment, email, blog, or set up websites... will be the first time I ever see it. It's just the way it seems to me.

About ASE certifications, and what it means to have an ASE cert, how to get it etc etc

http://www.ase.com/Content/NavigationMenu/Service_Professionals1/Explore_Certification/About_ASE1/About_ASE.htm

Until the early 1970s, consumers had no way to distinguish between incompetent and competent mechanics. In response to this need, the independent, non-profit National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) was established in 1972.

ASE's mission is to improve the quality of vehicle repair and service through the testing and certification of repair and service professionals.

Here's how ASE certification works:
Prospective candidates register for and take one or more of ASE's 40-plus exams. The tests are grouped into specialties for automobile, medium/heavy truck, truck equipment, school bus, and collision repair technicians as well as engine machinists, alternate fuels technicians, parts specialists, auto service consultants, and collision damage estimators.

Upon passing at least one exam and after providing proof of two years of relevant work experience, the test taker becomes ASE certified. Certification, however, is not for life. To remain certified, those with ASE credentials must be retested every five years.

I've found the most dedicated website for C body Mopars or 1969-73

The FUSELAGE website was designed to make people aware of the beauty and elegance of these very impressive, American automobiles:
The 1969 - 1973 Imperial, Chrysler, Dodge Monaco/Polara and Plymouth Fury.

This was done in order to help stop these vehicles from being crushed, neglected or parted out.This website shall assist in identifying the different models in each line and through the years. It shall be a help for auto enthusiasts to determine whether an interior, trim or option was really available to the car model in question.This website also serves as a glorification of the sales material that was produced back then in a very contemporary style.

(why this guy thinks it's illegal for anyone but him to use the images from his website, when he doesn't own the copywrite... Chrysler probably does... is beyond me)

How long is a yellow light at the intersection traffic light?

This question came up today at a safe driver training course at work today, no one know the answer yet... but on the web I came across ...

How long should a traffic light stay yellow?

The length of time that a traffic light stays yellow will vary from one intersection to another. The timing depends mostly on the speed limit and the width of the intersection.

From: http://my.uen.org/documentsDisplay/downloadfile?userid=dhendricks&documentid=3061097

Doesn't answer the question specifically other than to tell the derivation factors. One co-worker states that the 1/10th of speed of the street at the intersection, is the time the yellow light will be on.
So 55mph zone will have a 5.5 second yellow. Maybe this is right, I'll look into it farther.

By the way the safe distance to stop in traffic is the distance that allows you to see over your hood and look at the bottom of the tires of the vehicle in front of you. Liberty Mutual insurance company calls this the "Liberty Wedge"
