http://carscameraschronicillness.blogspot.com/ is his blog, he's hailing from Australia, and the first thing you begin to wonder about is the title, what is the chronic illness? Gastroparesis, which is essentially the stomach muscles being partially paralysed and unable to move food through properly, caused by a food poisoning 11 years ago. Not good, bit of an understatement.

A bit of this and that for a moment
1925 Monotrace found on http://flickriver.com/photos/jk1971/tags/monotrace Racing legends Donnie Allison, Sid Collins, Roger McCluskey, Ed McCulloch, Augie Pabst, Bruce Penhall and Ed Winfield will be enshrined into the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America when the organization stages its annual induction celebration on August 23 and 24, 2011 in Detroit.
Ed Winfield was regarded as one of the all-time great mechanical minds motorsports has ever known. He was an expert in engine design and carburation and played a major role in the development of the famed Novi engine with his brother, Bud. He is generally recognized as the “Father of the Racing Cam Business,” making his first performance camshaft in 1914 at age 13 and is credited with creative cylinder head designs and other engine advancements.
A Winfield exotic camshaft was in Bulchowsky's Old Yeller

SPESIFIKASI Lamborghini Hadirkan Gallardo yang Lebih Ringan
SPESIFIKASI Lamborghini Hadirkan Gallardo yang Lebih Ringan
It seems that the sports car segment with the roof open more attractive, thus making some major manufacturers vying to take part as a car with such a type of roof.
After introducing the VW EOS Convertible, Chevrolet with its Camaro, now turn the Italian exotic car maker, Lamborghini makes versions of the open roof of the Gallardo model.
The automaker, based in Sant'Agata Bolognese, Italy is finally melrilis their latest exotic cars, Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Spyder Performante.
This new car is actually made based on the Gallardo LP560-4 Spyder, but this time a Gallardo Spyder Performante created specifically by the engineers may have a Lamborghini for the lighter weight. When in fact LP560-4 Spyder is quite mild.
While several other car makers avoid the effort, because it thinks that the cut off weight of the vehicle is something that is impossible.
Precisely manufacturer bull logo was what was considered impossible to prove, proven, Gallardo Spyder cars performante managed to reduce the car's weight to 65 kg, compared to its predecessor. So now the total weight of the car is only 1485 kg.
The redesigned four-wheel-drive system, an improved suspension design, and optimized aerodynamics all contribute an improved driving experience. A weight reduction of 44 lbs and decreased friction between the components also enhance performance.
The Gallardo LP 560-4 fulfills the not yet obligatory European pedestrian safety regulations, without compromising the look of the car.
The automated e-gear transmission has been completely redesigned for the LP 560-4. Gear change time reduced by 40 percent, and the driver may choose between five different driving and changing programs. The most performance-oriented "CORSA" setting not only affects shift speed -- it also directs the engine for maximum acceleration. The 'Thrust Mode' ensures maximum acceleration from neutral while the angle of the throttle valve and the clutch are optimized.
An optional carbon-ceramic-disc braking system makes use of eight-piston Brembo calipers up front, and four-piston calipers at he rear. Rotor size is 14.4 inches at the front and 14 inches at the rear.
Lamborghini said, that weight reduction was achieved thanks to the use of some components of carbon fiber throughout the car. As in the console and door panels that surround the transmission lever.
The same material used to frame racing seat design, which is then wrapped in Alcantara leather. So the new Gallardo is crowned as the lightest car of the range of other products in the sports segment with an open roof.
For sources of power, this car uses a capacity of 5200 cc V10 engine, which can generate power to 570 hp. Lamborghini claims, an increase of 10 hp compared to older models, because in addition to lighter weight, the car uses a new engine management system.
So this supercar capable of doing a sprint from 0 to 100 km / h in just 3.9 seconds and when the gas pedal and hold trampled, then the car can reach a top speed of up to 324 km / h

SPESIFIKASI Lamborghini Luncurkan SUV di 2012
SPESIFIKASI Lamborghini Luncurkan SUV di 2012
Having long been known as a sports car manufacturer, Lamborghini intends to re-turn on car Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) which had long been their turn. The plan is good off-road car will be launched in 2012.
Previous car Lamborghini has ever had their first 4x4 named LM002 is designed for military use. This car used to carry V12 engine from the Countach.
Now for the new SUVs by Auto Express will be named LM00X, Lamborghini will likely give new twin turbo V8 engine with a capacity of 4.0 liters. This machine is likely to be similar to a machine that will be used Audi Q7 comes out next year with peak power of 550 bhp.
As for its platform, Lamborghini LM00X will likely use the same platform as that used Porsche Audi Q5 and Cajun. His appearance will remain signaled strength Lamborghini. So despite having a certain SUVs, Lambo LM00X can instantly recognizable as Lamborghini family.
Long before this issue broke, Lamborghini SUV market was flirting with the LM002 manufactured between 1986 and 1993. Lamborghini could feel how nice milyander successfully transact with Arabs and even with some troops in the region who ordered the military version of the LM002.
With the current world market conditions are Lead on SUV vehicles, the manufacturer also bearing the bull was interested to offer off-road vehicles with the revival of LM002.
Currently, little information is known about what the future of Lamborghini SUV it and what equipment is under the hood.
The engineers of Volkswagen (VW) and Porsche did not want to talk much about the presence of this latest Lamborghini. but Lamborghini touted center conducted research for the use of 5.2-liter V12 engine
Unlike its predecessor LM002, which is the first 4x4 cars for Lamborghini and designed for military use, and use the V12 engine from the Lambo Countach. This new SUV will likely use a twin-turbo V8 engine, with the latest technology, capacity 4.000cc which could provide power for more than 550bhp.
Although born as an SUV, in fact LM00X expected to do a sprint from 0-62mph in less than four seconds, it will become a strong rival for the Cayenne Turbo S.
As the product supercar, Lamborghini will use 3 pieces of the door to LM00X. Not only that, the SUV will come with designs that are also inspired by their supercar.
For vehicle weight not too heavy, use traditional Lamborghini carbon technologies such as the concept car shown Elemento Sesto last month at the Paris Motor Show.
Even so, the Italian car is expected to be able to run up to 100 km per hour in less than 4 seconds. That way, even though his car SUV, Lambo LM00X will easily pass the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S.
To maintain her weight, Lamborghini LM00X will use the body of and carbon which is used also by their new supercar concept Elemento Sesto. Possible LM00X Lamborghini will be issued by 2012 at a price of about 100 thousand Pounds Sterling or USD 1.4 billion.

2010 Lamborghini Sport Cars Lamborghini Sesto Elemento Concept
The Lamborghini Sesto Elemento, was unveiled at the 2010 Paris Auto Show this month. Star of the Italian maker’s Paris Motor Show stand is the astonishing Sesto Elemento. The Sesto Elemento Concept is a brutal sports car weighing just 999 kg. It’s Lamborghini’s first example of its new supersports car manifesto - same power but less weight.
“The Lamborghini Sesto Elemento shows how the future of the super sports car can look – extreme lightweight engineering, combined with extreme performance results in extreme driving fun. We put all of our technological competence into one stunning form to create the Sesto Elemento,” said Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini. “It is our abilities in carbon-fiber technology that have facilitated such a forward-thinking concept, and we of course also benefit from the undisputed lightweight expertise of Audi AG. Systematic lightweight engineering is crucial for future super sports cars: for the most dynamic performance, as well as for low emissions. We will apply this technological advantage right across our model range. Every future Lamborghini will be touched by the spirit of the Sesto Elemento.”

Additional 100 percent by AUDI AG, the Italian car manufacturer also benefits from the expertise that is not necessary from the German manufacturer when it comes to light construction. With an amazing output of 570 hp, a sensational power-to-weight ratio of just 1.75 kilograms per hp and 0 to 100 km / h (0-62 mph) acceleration of only 2.5 arcseconds, which ensures unsurpassed Elemento Sesto aim fun .
The 2010 Lamborghini Sport Cars Lamborghini Sesto Elemento Concept has a power-weight ratio of 1.75 kg/hp. It reaches 100 km/hr in just 2.5 seconds and has a top speed of “well over 300 km/hr”. It’s exactly the kind of supercar innovation that Lamborghini should be investing in and while carbon fibre has become famous, the company has also experimented with other modern materials, such as Pyrosic for the exhaust system (a new glass and ceramic composite material).
The Lamborghini Advanced Composite Structures Laboratory (ACSL) at the University of Washington in Seattle, USA, uses experimental tests to define the mechanical behaviour of the different materials and technologies using methodology from the aviation industry.
The design is inspired by the limited-edition Reventòn supercar, but makes more of a feature of its deep front end, while the V10 is open to the elements. The Sesto Elemento isn’t road legal, but it is a running prototype, so testing Lamborghini’s claims is a possibility.
