No, that'd be the lady Be Good.

FTMFW, I'm guessing it's real too as I haven't seen any replica Mk IV's

Racecar Replicas makes a MkIV replica. That one is owned by Jim Glickenhaus and he drives it all the time. He's the guy behind the Ferrari P4/5 and P4/5 Competizione. Super rich car guy who doesn't care. He's my f'ing hero.

By God, that's an Avro Shackleton. I'd be interested in knowing the story on this one, and the F-80 by the stone wall above, too.

EDIT: I think this is the same aircraft, but I can't be sure.

Do all rotaries take 4 gallons of oil?

Probably a misprint on the liters,, a two rotor would be 1.3L

1 rotor = .65 2 rotor = 1.3 or 13B 3 rotor = 2.0 or 20B 4 rotor = 2.6 or 26B

Dry sump certainly could. Rotaries also lose a lot of their way-too-much heat through the oil cooler as well. I suspect any real race rotaries run monster oil coolers.

Even the stock ones run monster oil coolers.

I rewatched some episodes of Roadkill, on MotorTrend's youtube channel. Especially the one about the Australian Summernationals.

That would make sense. The owner lives outside of Detroit.

The red Satellite looks great. Not that pink thing.

On his cartoon blog Zen Pencils, Gavin Aung Than turns inspirational quotes into comic strips. For his newest strip, he illustrated a quote from Bill Watterson’s 1990 speech at Kenyon College in the style of Calvin and Hobbes, which Than considers “the greatest comic strip of all time.”
