cover-image This is an update to an earlier project, the ET-001. At this point everything except the block and a few pistons, with connecting rods still attached, has met its recycling maker. The block and remaining parts have received a proper bath which removed all remnants of oil and coolant, but they did not come out as perfect and shiny as I expected them to. In case you still have not figured out what this is going to be, well, it will not be going into a Miata or anything REALLY cool like that.

This engine, with about 80,000 miles on it, was removed from the car after the radiator went to crap and the engine overheated, which on BMWs takes about three seconds, if you’re lucky. The engine actually ran after the radiator was replaced, but not well. … Continue Reading

Driving Jaguar’s new XFR, on the Road and on the Track

I have recently had the opportunity to drive the new Jaguar XFR on the road and on a race track. With the XFR competing directly against the BMW M5, which I have also had the opportunity to drive on the track and on the street, it only made sense to evaluate the XFR while using [...]

These pictures were taken in March of 2007, my wife’s and mine last trip before the birth of our daughter. Selected for your viewing pleasure are not only [...]
