I thought the first post was of an opposed piston engine but it is actually a double acting engine so technically has three pistons per cylinder (some would even argue that it has four) and is 14 metres high so won't be inside any train engines.

 

Hmmmmm, I can almost smell it.

[Mike D]

never seen anything like that before!

 

 

another classic, twin v12 engine with Hydraulic drive,German engines and drive, but British built and styled, smokey!

aint got much interest in modern trains over here, but the ones in the US are impressive, length of them is amazing.

I've posted a few of these before - Paul Allen (Microsoft zillionaire) has a private museum just over the border between Seattle and Vancouver in Everett, WA.

 

Flying Heritage Collection - Home

 

He has the largest collection of flying WW2 aircraft in the world, and their recent addition is a F6F-5 Hellcat, which is an absolutely amazing aircraft.

 

Here is its maiden test flight this week...

They do 'flight days' all summer where the public can watch all sorts of combinations of planes flying. Incredible to see.

We went to the Eastbourne airshow and the Vulcan certainly stole the show.

 

The euro fighter was awesome as well. Amazing noise making all the kids, mine included, cry.

[Stouffer]

I fucking hate the Typhoon; the noisy pointy nosed bastard.

This is Paul Allen's collection in Everett, Washington.

 

I've seen most of them flying, and if I was a billionaire like him, I'd spend my money on restoring WW2 fighter planes as well.

I'd be the same, stuff like that. Old racing cars etc. 

 

But make them all available to be seen and heard by people. Far too many things disappear off into collections where no one else gets to enjoy them.

 

Also Jaguar V12

 

 

 

Jump to about 3:10 to hear the XJ13 starting up on the second video.

I quite enjoy that 'Chasing Classic Cars' programme on Discovery Turbo. The prices are insane but the older Cars are more aesthetically pleasing than the new stuff.

[Chairman Meow]

Yeah I like that as well.

 

I get loads of people who seem to think I like all cars because I do stuff with them.

 

I only really like old cars and rally cars. Modern cars are just white goods as far as I am concerned and even the nice stuff that I get a chance to drive is just a bit dull.

I think the beauty of the older cars is,in some part at least,down to how well they made them with so little technology available and in some ways a bit off the cuff,almost from templates.

The fact that some have lasted so long is also a testament to how well some were built.

Im not a car man at all but this car is something special
