Is that the newmodel Ford Comet?
Ford Pinto. The rear bumper was made of flint.
I thought the sticker said made IN Flint?
Left over Pinto.
New electric batteries! That’s thermal runaway for you.
Why is this in the Friday Fail???
Who says NATO’s giving Ukraine its leftover shit so they can buy all new shit?
*sigh* The mortar shell has to travel a certain amount of distance before it is armed. Great training there.
Raise your hand if you’re willing to bet your life that the arming mechanism was manufactured to a higher standard of quality than the propellant charge.
.No electronics in there. Nose impact detonation unless it lands on it’s tail like that one. LAW’s, etc ud be right. I notice there’s no powder bags at all on the tail… Primer power only. Must not be an 11C in that bunch…
Uh, no. when you initially fire the mortar round the impact of primer charge and the propulsion charges propels the round out of the tube. This action causes a secondary reaction within the fuse portion of the round, as the mortar round rotates or spins the arming portion of the fuse is causing the fuse to arm itself for impact. The distance from the mouth of the tube to the exact point where the fuse is fully armed varies between the different types of mortar rounds. Each type; 60mm, 81mm or 4.2in(106mm) has a different arming distance.
Sure buddy, if you say so. Been there. Did that.
Doubt it, due to your reference of electronics.
No they don’t, some arm with setback caused by the round leaving the tube and then have impact initiated detonation.
They also like uncovering bones (until they get married).
I blew up these engines in both of my VW buses.
…..and it’s always cylinder 3
I had one of those “Wankel” engines, too…in my 1978 Mazda RX-4. The engine didn’t blow up but I sold it when it had a head gasket leak.
I still don’t grasp the workings of it.
I used to have a RX-7. That thing was faster than a striped ass ape! Loved it.
I drove the shit out of my RX-7, great uptake and speed, and that engine never made a blip, never burned oil, never had to put a dime in it for repairs.
I thought it was a great engine. Don’t know why it never went any further
The rotary engine is designed to burn oil. Search it.
Used to race these in RX-7s.
Screaming little engines.
Since rotation is inline with output (no translational movement), vastly higher RPMs could be maintained.
And they had no “head gasket leaks” because they had no head.
The engine injected oil (and a small amount of antifreeze) into the intake to lubricate the rotor seals, as they cannot be passively splash lubricated like a piston engine.
Oil usage was minimal.
The illustration is the wankel cycle, equal to 3 combustion pulses per revolution.
The rotary engine in the RX-7 had two of these rotors, resulting in six combustion pulses per revolution, vs. only 3 for a 6-cylinder.
(The other 3 are exhaust strokes.)
Thus the handicapping rules for racing against piston engines.
The original 12A had cast iron rotary seals, lasting around 100K miles.
The 13B had ceramic seals, lasting considerably longer.
Short blocks are the size of a small TV.
I literally picked up my short block from the warehouse and put it in the trunk of my Plymouth Volare.
The engines are literally big balls in small package.
Whatever happened to nice things.
It’s in stiff competition with the Middle East.
Give me a copy so I can detail my expenses.
Delectable

The Bob bone’s connected to the vulva.
you definitely saved the best until the end
The hazards of a globe earth- hanging upside down.
William Hosner. He’s a pastelist I show with in Vail.
He does all these outdoors from life. Amazing.
@CA – does this guy sell his art? Very impressive!
Indeed he does.
Is there a website to look at.
I know for sure he shows at Claggett/Rey Gallery.
Google him, he may have a website himself.
Thank you sir!
You’re most welcome.
My pleasure.
Tucker Carlson called this guy “Eyepatch McCain” the other night after his vocal support for pouring money down the corrupt Ukrainian rathole. I love it.
Another one of Klaus’s kids. Fuck ’em.
I like Zioclops better.
He has been a fraud since the beginning.
No waist. Look like man.
Have you been hanging out with GT?
And with this last pic of one of my favorite ladies, Miranda Kerr, I hope Oz enjoyed seeing one of his own ladies from down under.
The “Poison Gas Pavillion,” funny as it is to see it written that way, is actually a poison gas museum located on Okunoshima, an island in Japan’s inland sea. The place is a war museum telling the history of the production of poison gas on the island and its detrimental effects when used in WWII.
…til 5-27.
