Hi Sean, I don’t have any insight into the Tesla engineering world. But a very interesting question that I hope someone can answer for us.

Gents, I think you will find the below image very interesting when it comes to size and performance of modern motors. The first image is a new motor called an Axial Flux Induction Motor. Very different to the way we all see electric motors. Very small and very compact, but pack a hell of a...

Brian would have seen this a few times on the Rolls-Royce forum where I have posted quite a bit on Electric & battery vehicles. The first pic is from1912. The second pic is modern, the clothes have changed but the technology is pretty much identical. Interestingly the main driving forces behind...

Interesting stuff Styria, and food for thought as well. Synthetic fuel was invented by the Nazi’s as they did not have enough oil to refine for normal fuel, so it’s ironic that Porsche is behind the new synthetic fuels. They probably only needed to open a few Porsche files from the 30’s &...

Looks awesome mate. Great find

Terrific images Bryce. Looks like a great day. As you said a really good turn out so that’s great.

Should have kept that car Bryce. Owed me stuff all :cry:

Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh NO. I’ve been working with trucks for 43 years now, and the very last thing I would ever do is own one :ROFLMAO: However I have to agree, it would be the coolest vehicle on display. Especially with a straight through exhaust :eek:

Lol That is a gem Michel. A true legend truck. Oh and guess what Brian. Most of these 180hp trucks were 6 speed manuals! Right up your alley mate. The bigger ones with 2 sets of drive wheels were 10 speed, even better. I was laughing loudly thinking about you in the queue of the service...

Dumb move when we burn coal to produce electricity to charge these cars. Yes, our coal burning process & our Australian coal is probably the cleanest in the world, but the decision makers clearly ignor the fact that they reduce the emissions from a tail pipe, they increase the emissions from the...

Very interesting mate. Thanks for teaching me more about the MB brand.

Very interesting points mate. I have always liked the Espada since it’s launch. Not so long ago, they were affordable.

Oh yeah. Now that would be good :cool:

Now THAT is a beautiful car Styria. Love the lines, shape and mechanicals. Imagine one of these sitting in our garages chaps!

Congratulations Mark. Great image of a great car.

That’s very interesting Bryce. I guess if you saw them sitting on a shelf in different shops and different days, you would think they are the same. Next to each other, very different. I’m guessing to fit more streamlined noses as the years marched on? What globes were they running?

Bryce. The pic you have shown is very similar to the Lamborghini Espada which I really like. My tastes are obviously quite different. I guess that’s why I find the Merc & Camargue boring. Another car designed by him. This guy designing cars must have had the easiest job ever Below are the...

I knew you would say that car was very handsome Brian. It’s just as bad as the Camargue :p And we all know you also love them. I miss our discussions on something we are so opposite on. I’m sorry to say, to me this car and the almost identical Camargue are quite awful. If you look up any...

That’s funny :) You don’t need to enter her at all Styria, as she would be first place every time. This comp (and every other to follow) is purely to decide second place :love:

Agreed, awesome cars, AND they are red!
