As always, there were some spectacular vehicles in the field. A local collector provided three stunning late 50s/ early 60s Mercedes-Benz'. But the show stopper was a 1965 Porsche 356 cabriolet once owned by Janis Joplin. This psychedelic vehicle attracted droves of people.

ReplyDeleteEvery motorist is seeking the best performance from their vehicle, particularly in these days of rising fuel costs, but at the same time greater usage of transportation. Before the introduction of an engine control unit, mechanics set the air-fuel mixture, ignition timing and the idling speed of a vehicle and these were controlled by mechanical and pneumatic influences. One of the earliest recorded attempts to utilize an automated device, for simultaneous management and multiple engine control was in 1939 and was created by BMW, in their "801, 14-cylinder radial" engine.

ReplyDeleteValuable advice, I keep it. It reminded me of the VIN number, I used it when buying a used car for my wife. It characterizes a certain car, it's like a car identification number, designed to identify the car manufacturer. Knowing it, I can get a report on the history of a particular car https://www.faxvin.com/vin-decoder. I can learn everything about the car, motorcycle, truck, etc that interested me. I even can discover the past of the car: what events were recorded and learn the history of the technical inspection in detail in order to avoid unpleasant surprises.
