1973911s, the airplane engine is AirTran over ATL. Saw it on the ground when it landed. They left the cowl cover loose and it blew off after takeoff. The engine was fine.

rattlsnak,

It looked like a 737 engine, Doesn't Airtrans only use a smaller version of the md80?

What would you do if you were the guy that got told to tape his mouth shut? . I cant tell if it would reach the woman or not, but one swipe of that tail would brake the grinning guy in half.

Hi Art,
I have found that if i don't let the "Post Reply" page load fully before i press the "Click here to Upload a Photo" link that it lets me upload the photo but it doesn't return a link to the "Post Reply" page.
Just make sure that everything has finished loading before you go to the next step.

Hope this helps

Saintly,

Thanks for the advice. I renamed the file I was trying to upload and then it worked. Very strange!

Now there is a barnyard find! What IS that other car...VW?

[cegerer]

That's a version of the 917 developed for Porsche by the French aerodynamics company SERA (they still exist and have a website somewhere as I recall). Those rundown buildings were their facilities back in the 1970's. This is what it ultimately looked like:

I knew the 917 in the yard ..what was the first car? I have heard VW is coming out with a 12 cyl. super car and I thought of all people you would post it first. So what was it ..the first car I mean?

[}{arlequin]

It's a Koenigsegg... Swedish supercar w/ a V8... forced induction w/ 800hp, I think. It may be a contender to beat MacF1's top speed run.

I thought VW gave up on their W12 supercar project? Is there a new one? For now they are using the W12 engine (2 VR6 motors mated together) in Euro versions of the Phaeton.

Do a google for the name starting with the K under the first pic. It's the current fastest production car as far as i can remember.
They had it out here for the motor show last year.. very nice.
the website
I think they look very nice.
