    Synthetic Fuels

    We always seem to be waiting for Brian Michel. I would have thought we were his top priority? What else could possibly be taking preference over us? :unsure:

    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.

    Synthetic Fuels

    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...

    Synthetic Fuels

    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 &...

    Car of the week

    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:

    Car of the week

    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...

    GM Ends ICE Production by 2035

    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...
