Apple iPod classic® 160GB Written By john, florida on Saturday, October 11, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Can't beat the 160G
Soooo glad I got this before it sold out! Written By Jon, Denver, CO on Wednesday, October 01, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Huge capacity, love it! Wish they wouldn't have discontinued the Ipod Classic but it's gone now. Pros: Huge capacity Cons: None
IPOD CLASSIC Written By JDG, Phoenix NY on Thursday, September 25, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Needed new IPOD Classic and bought it the day before Apple pulled the plug. Old one lasted 6 years. Works great with BOSE Sounddock. Pros: Megastorage Cons: none
Ipod Classic 160GB Written By RandyM, Baltimore, MD on Monday, April 28, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This ipod is great. It has enough memory to store my entire CD collection of almost 10,000 songs. Pros: Lots of memory for many songs. Cons: None
Apple iPod Classic 160GB Written By JR, Jackson, Mo on Monday, April 07, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) As with all the apple products i've owned, this one is excellent as always!
So nice to have everything on the go Written By Classic buyer, Charlottesville, VA on Friday, March 28, 2014 No complaints with the product. iTunes is another story. Pros: Large capacity. I bought this because I was tired of not having what I wanted to hear. Cons: The iTunes bloatware. Frequent upgrades for products I don't have. Each release, they seem to find a way to make it more difficult to use. And, of course, any help refers to gawd-knows-which previous release, and is wrong. Actual music data files all over the place. I could go on and on.
IPOD Classic Written By Dan, Fargo, ND on Friday, March 07, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Its an IPOD. If you are looking for a ton of storage for your digital music and/or videos for "on the go", this is the best route to take! This is my 6th or 7th Ipod and each has its own purpose. great product! Pros: Storage, battery life and ease of use. Cons: Its not an IPOD touch :)
it's an iPod Written By Brian, Marlow,Oklahoma on Sunday, February 16, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) It's an iPod. I now own 6. I can't get enough of them
Ipod Classic Written By Anonymous, New York on Sunday, February 02, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Its all thats great with the ipod and a lot of memory. I have over 3000 AIFF Lossless files with room to spare. I doc this to my Marantz Consolette and hook it to my two channel system via an Ipod doc/dac.
iPod Classic Written By FrankIV, Suwanee, GA on Sunday, January 26, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I retired my old 32GB iPod recently after several years of use because the battery won't hold a charge for long. This new iPod is generally the same features wise other than the obviously much larger storage capacity. Since I am not one to see the necessity in all the fancy options of the iPod Touch, I went with the old, tried and true Classic. And I have a lot more storage space to boot. I couldn't be happier. Pros: Storage space. Ease of use. Battery life. Less frequent charging. Cons: No "fancy" display or touch screen capability.
Apple iPod classic® 160GB Written By Anonymous, Des Moines on Monday, January 20, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Perfect for my collection. I have spent weeks loading iTunes with my collection, and I still have some room to spare, on my classic. Pros: Plenty of space.
Great IPod Written By Richard, Mississippi on Thursday, January 09, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great classic design, and holds all my music! Pros: Tons of storage, great apple ease of use.
Nice iPod, huge capacity Written By Greg S, Charlottesville, VA on Wednesday, January 08, 2014 Like most people, this is the umpteenth iPod I've owned. But unlike all the previous models, I am not going to outgrow this one anytime soon. This iPod is big and heavy, and it's not a Touch model, so it's not going to be the best match for everyone. But for me, this is the one. Here's why: Sound quality is important to me, so I rip my music directly from CDs, in uncompressed AIFF format. I have thousands of songs, and previously I had them divided into multiple playlists on multiple iPods. I was surprised that they all fit on this iPod (and with room to spare) despite the huge file sizes. I was able to get rid of all my other iPods. I often listen using my B&W P7 headphones, and I am not detecting any compression or distortion when playing back from my iPod. The quality when using those Apple ear buds is what one would expect - not so wonderful, but not surprising. When considering whether or not to purchase this item, it was a matter of capacity versus function. There is a trade-off, so it's best to consider what your needs are. I mostly just use my iPod for music, usually in my shirt pocket while working. I already have access to a computer with internet access both at home and at work, and I just don't need all the features of an iPod Touch. I bought this for the capacity. The one concern with this model is shock/vibration. Unlike smaller flash memory-based models, this iPod uses a hard drive. To be safe, get a decent case as the backs scratch easily. Pros: Nice build, menus scroll smoothly, expect 5-10 good years of use Cons: None
Too easy Written By Kat, Falls Church, VA on Friday, November 22, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) It was almost too easy to get this for my hubby for our anniversary. It replaces the iPod I got him for our first Christmas. I called, ordered, paid..it was shipped and here in plenty of time. Gotta love Crutchfield's service!
LOVE THIS IPOD Written By HOPEA, leesburg fl on Friday, November 22, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) LOVE THIS IPOD! Even though it does not accept wifi and icloud, it holds tons of music and video. iT CAN BE USED WITH IPOD DOCKS WITHOUTOUT AN ADAPTER AND THE FEATURES ARE GREAT ITunes and music library still function great and I can rip my cds to music library to load. 6th generation is fast as to features and it plays with a Bose dock, onkyo, yamaha and teac receivers that I have. Love the look and the click wheel.Have an ipod touch 32gb, but all I want out of the docks is music like a cd jukebox and this thing will play because of the160 gb. Nowhere even close to filling up capacity. Hope apple keeps it around a long time Pros: look, hardy made ,tons of music and video capacity and decent sound and features . Easy to use with ipod docks. Just hookup to computer and sync with iTunes, music library or Amazon mp3 music.No wifi passwords. Sorta connect and enjoy Cons: none as l as the user knows it does not have wifi apps or icloud. Just connect to computer and sync with iTunes or music library.or Amazon mp3 music
Simplicity isn't a bad thing Written By Sean G, Southeast CT on Monday, November 04, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I had an iPhone 4s that died, and never really worked all that well in either of my vehicles. I found myself missing my old 16gb iPod Nano. I didn't miss running out of space. I got exactly what I wanted with this iPod. It easily integrates with all of my existing peripherals, doesn't require a new cable or adapter, and has plenty of room for all of my files. I'm hoping the longevity of this model is as great as it was with my 5g iPod video. If so, I will have many happy years ahead! Pros: Simple navigation, compatibility with most legacy dock products. High capacity. Cons: No Bluetooth, No apps, and that's not much of a con! Cases are hard to find, as most manufacturers are concentrating on the touch models.
Apple iPod classic® 160GB Written By Keith, Florida on Wednesday, July 17, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) If you simply enjoy music and want the ability to carry it with you, listen in your car, your boat or some other remote place then this is the one for you. The only con is will I live long enough to add enough songs to max out the storage capacity. :-) Pros: Huge storage, ease of use. Cons: None
Apple iPod classic® 160GB Written By dtastic1, Mesa, AZ on Tuesday, January 29, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Awesome product! Pros: It's all good with this device. The product is fully tested by Apple. I have no issues updating and configuring this device with my current library. Cons: None
Apple iPod classic® 160GB Written By Masterpiece & Premium, Hot desert, Arizona on Thursday, October 25, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Take the last generation's top-spec iPod, and swap 40GB/80GB capacities for 80GB/160GB without upping the price. Then add a boosted audio output, an even neater interface and a slimmer, all-metal finish. What's not to like about the new iPod Classic? With the new iPod touch limited to a maximum 64GB, the Classic is a strategic masterstroke - if you're one of the many who feel compelled to take your entire music collection with you wherever you go, the 160GB Classic is the only dance in town. We also reckon the Classic will earn a following from those who find the touch a little tricky to operate with one hand (try working an iPod touch in your pocket in a packed train carriage, then a Classic). There are downsides of course: the Classic has a conventional hard drive instead of the touch's solid state storage, which in theory means that it's less resistant to hefty knocks and long-term wear. And only time will tell if the Classic is free of the battery life issues that afflicted its forebear (again, its spinning hard drive drains more life than the touch's solid state drive). And although the Classic is immensely capable, it will never enjoy the world of clever functionality you can call upon from your iPod touch. Web surfing, for example, isn't on option. But let's end on a high: this Apple sounds better than ever (though the 'phones still suck - look for better cans), especially playing uncompressed WAV or Apple Lossless files. For now, we're off to re-rip all our CDs and enjoy... Pros: Vast capacity for the same money; subtle but stylish new look; even better sonic performance Cons: Pathetic headphones
iPod Classic Written By Ted, Paso Robles, CA on Sunday, October 14, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I love this thing! I bought it mainly to connect with my Kenwood stereo in my truck and it's awesome. Pros: Holds a lot of files. The usual iPod qualities. Cons: None
IPOD Classic 160 Written By Rick A., Springfield,MO on Monday, October 08, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Wow. Gotta Love It. 160 G of High Level Music. I must have about 70 CD's all in Wav files and only used about a third of the memory. I am not a fan of MP3's. I love my music and Love it Clear and detailed. Very easy to use and very easy to pull up the albums or songs you want. I won't be able to get all of my music on it, but I cn get every thing I listen to on a regular basis on it. Sounds like a lt of money but I have paid more for CD Players, Think about it! As Aways , NEVER a Problem when you buy from Cruthfield!!! Pros: Easy to Use
not as good as people think Written By stephen, farwell texas on Friday, July 27, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Why so many people like apple products is beyond me. This unit is hard to use, including syncing and downloading itunes. I only bought this unit because my Yamaha receiver has a dock port only for ipods. You cannot load any music onto an ipod before first getting a itune account. And it is disgusting that you HAVE to give them all your credit card info before you can even establish an itunes account in case you MIGHT actually buy some songs from them on line. I never and never will as I dislike the whole Apple approach to doing business. Will never buy an ipad or iphone. Too many good competitors out there. Syncing was a problem too that I have yet to work out with Crutchfield. It only synced half the songs I wanted it too and have no idea why it stopped. Just another Apple headache. Never had this problem with a $55 mp3 player. I realize a lot of people like Apple products but I plan to boycott them whenever possible. Pros: LOTS of memory. Is able to dock for easy connection to receiver and other units Cons: Hard to transfer music to as have to establish account. Does not sync easily or fully. Have to give personal financial info just to esptablish account.
My First ipod - Big Hit Written By Philo, Hudson, NY on Friday, April 20, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is my first ipod and I'm an old dude. It was the only way to load up my cd collection and it is amazing. Download itunes on computer hard drive, import cds (a few minutes each and easily) then usb instantaneous transfer from computer to the ipod Classic. Great displays and controls, portability, the answer to my music prayer. Pros: Storage size, portability, controls, ease of cdmusic transfer Cons: None so far
Ipod classic;really classic Written By Eric, Wingate,NC on Thursday, February 16, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is my third Ipod and my second Classic. I plug it in to my sound system on my Honda Gold Wing. It takes the place of the need for a CD player. Plus it holds more songs than I can ever put in it. Pros: Very small andvery easy to use.
I pod Classic Written By asian51, whittier CA on Monday, February 13, 2012 This i pod holds everything u need movies music and photos its great if u hav tons of music or movies compared to the nanos and shuffle which only hold like 8-16 this thing has 160 or 80. All apple products are reliable and campatible to i tunes Pros: Lots of memory long battery life Cons: heavier then the other i pods like the touch and nanno and shuffle i pod classics are the heaviest model
Apple iPod classic® 160GB Written By Carlos, Jayuya, PR on Friday, February 10, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Had one and decided to buy one with higher capacity. I love the classic style.
Great music player Written By JohnH, Santa Maria, CA on Friday, February 10, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I told my son-in-law I needed an MP3 player that could hold a ton of songs and was easy to organize. He suggested this one and he was right on the mark. I put every CD on this Ipod Classic and I still have a lot of room for expansion. Organizing into playlists was a snap and so far it has worked flawlessly. Pros: Lots of storage and easy to use.
Apple iPod classic® 160GB Written By Jon, CT on Friday, February 10, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Fantastic product. I can hold my entire music library in the most uncompressed format iTunes will allow, and I still used up only a fraction of the available space. I haven't tried watching videos or pictures on it yet, but using it for music has been great. I bought it specifically so I could plug it into my car stereo and have all my music available easily when I'm on the road. I plug it in using the USB input on my stereo. I can select music by artist, album, genre, or playlist. It's very well organized and makes finding music easy. Pros: Simple, easy to use, huge capacity, enormous selection of accessories, compatible with most modern devices. Cons: None that I can think of.
All That I Expected Written By Dave, Central IL on Thursday, February 09, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I would have given this a 5 star rating except that it froze up on me the other day & I have no idea why. I reset it & it works fine now. I hope this sort of thing does not continue. I have had a few other MP3 players over the years & I resisted going to the I-Pod because of the whole I-Tunes thing. I have a large number of music files & didn't feel like converting them. I was convinced to go w/the I-pod because of its ease of use, sound quality, & the fact that just about everything can connect to an I-Pod. Pros: Sounds great in the car & on my home stereo systems. Cons: I'm not in love w/I-Tunes, but I'm getting used to it. I'm still not sure why it froze up the other day.
Love it so far Written By Jim, Scranton,PA on Thursday, September 22, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I've only had this a few weeks but I love it so far. I use it mostly in the car through an aux input and it sounds great. Battery life is better than I expected. I have to say that after all the horror stories I read about Itunes it's not so bad. It did a good job of finding all the music on my hard drive and putting it in categories. I've read some reviews where some said the hard drive is noisy but mine is whisper quiet. I have it in a clear plastic hard case and I can't hear it at all. If you're looking for something to put your entire music collection on this is it. If you could still get an older Zune I would have gone in that direction just because of being able to drag and drop music to it but the new Zunes aren't comparable to the classic in my opinion if you're just looking for an mp3 player.
No such thing as too much disk space! Written By Tom, Rochester NY on Wednesday, August 31, 2011 Had been wanting to upgrade my 30GB Classic for some time, because I'd re- ripped my 350+ CDs in Apple Lossless format -- have a mix of everything from 128kbps to lossless still on the 30GB so it all fits. Assumed all along that I'd get this one, but then Denon tossed in a variable by bringing Airplay into the mix, with i-device control. I went back & forth trying to decide on either the 64GB itouch for the Denon app, or the 160GB Classic for the disk space. Finally decided that it was worth it to have all 100GB+ of my music on the same device because I could play it direct digital via USB on my Denon 3311 anyway, and still have it all with me when I was away from the house. And it was $150 cheaper. Not as trendy, but more functional for me. May get an iphone to use for Airplay next time I upgrade my phone, TBD. Only issue I've had with the 160GB is that the first one I got froze up after just a few days, but the replacement has worked great since. Thus took away a star for the inconvenience :)
Bigger IPOD Written By Joseph R, Warwick RI on Sunday, August 14, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Purchased this unit to replace my nano. Need more memory space to accomidate my vast music collection. Downloaded all in lossless, ripped quickly without any issues Great product and Crutchfield service. Thanks
Simply, Durable, Dependable, and Spacious Written By Jeremy, Palestine, TX on Wednesday, August 03, 2011 I have owned my 120gb Ipod Classic since 2008. During the entire time, this device has set in my vehicles (as it has lasted through 4 cars now). It has set in various places inside the car through 105 degree Texas days in the sun, and -10 degree Missouri winters. It has remained powered and controlled by the car stereo in every car I've used it in. Except for the occasional reset, I've never had an issue with this Ipod. I expected, after all these years of being charged/controlled by my car stereos, the battery wouldn't hold much of a charge at all. Recently, I purchased a car that has only an auxiliary input and doesn't charge the ipod. It has had no problem playing 24+ hours straight on a single charge. AMAZING! The new model has 160gb or storage, while mine has 120gb. Either way, it's nearly impossible to fill this up (with music at least). I have a respectable collection of music, ranging from Reggae to Rock to Metal. I have the ENTIRE DISCOGRAPHY of nearly every artist I like at all... and I've only used about 35gb of my storage. If you can fill this up, you must have a VERY broad taste in music. If you don't need al the cool features of the Touch, or the small form factor of the Nano, then this Classic is the way to go!
Love my iPod Classic! Written By HowardM, New York City on Tuesday, August 02, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought this as a replacement for the one I had which, for one reason or another, became corrupted. I love this. The sound is great, the capacity incredible. I have 10,000 (!) songs on it and I have only used about 25% of its capacity. I recommend it enthusiastically.
Awesome space Written By Jabu N, Dearborn Hts, MI on Friday, July 22, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I love the storage space in this iPod and the battery has been pretty fantastic. I drive 1hr round-trip to work daily and listen to podcasts and music all the time and so far, it has gone 2 weeks without a charge and it still shows that it could go longer. The only problem is that sometimes it seems the control buttons are not sensitive enough and I need to apply more pressure several times for it to increase the volume, browse, and select through my playlist.
Music With Me! Written By Jesse S., Cleveland, Ohio on Wednesday, July 13, 2011 This Ipod Classic is one of the best musical investments I ever made. I got it for my vehicle and stereo system. I also purchased a Cambridge dock and Dacmagic the music is outstanding in my system. Lossless.
great I pod Written By rol, danielson ct. on Sunday, March 13, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Never owned a Ipod before, I bought a new car that had a USB plug in it and decided to put my entire CD collection on it so I wouldn't have to keep changing Cd's. I spoke to a crutchfield advisor and he recommended the 160 classic, because I had so many Cd's, he also mentioned to download them in the wav format. It went well and I am very pleased with my purchase and the people at Crutchfield for their assistance.
Best you can buy Written By jared, North carolina on Friday, March 11, 2011 The best you can buy. Worked great for 5 years before it was dropped into the garden and heavy flooding rain killed it. Will be purchasing a new one within a week.
Love It Written By Hoss, Rochester, NY on Thursday, February 03, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I really like the Classic. I have high quality ear buds and prefer to use the loss less format. I don't like the quality of compressed formats. The Classic holds my entire library and the sound difference is well worth it. This replaces an older nano 2gb where I had to compress and still select only a portion of the library. The screen is very good and the battery lasts a long time. I am very happy with the Classic!
Apple iPod classic® 160GB Written By RD, Chicago, IL on Saturday, January 29, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The original is still one of the best devices on the market today. 160 GB of storage is second to none. I transfered 1500 albums to MP3 to Ipod. I should have done this a long time ago!
Classic Pod Written By ChuckH, Charlotte, NC on Friday, October 15, 2010 The original is still one of the best devices on the market today. Storage capacity second to none. HDD instead of Flash drive! No Frills! Solid Apple design!
As Expected Written By CarrieM, St Augustine, FL on Sunday, September 26, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is my 3rd iPod (they have been lost or stolen), and it works great just as advertised. Using the iPod is so much easier in the car than having a million cd cases floating around. Easy to use and holds lots of music, video, and pictures.
Crutchfield Rocks Written By Norman, Scottsdale, AZ on Tuesday, September 21, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) iPod Classics are great for carrying around lots of media. They connect to all sorts of wonderful gadgets available at Crutchfield.com, from TVs to powerboat stereos. Crutchfield has amazing customer care and, as usual, everything about shopping with Crutchfield met or exceeded my expectations. Keep up the good work, Crutchfield.
A dream for audiophiles on the go. Written By James, Tuscaloosa, Alabama on Saturday, May 01, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This 160GB iPod Classic seems to be the same as the old iPod Classic, except that this one has 40 more GB. I am very, very particular when it comes to the quality of the music I listen to. I've never even considered an iPod until I found out that iTunes offered something called "lossless" data compression. This allows the original musical data to be reconstructed from the compressed data - exactly the technology I had been waiting for. With this technology there is a price, however, lots and lots of memory is required. This is where the iPod Classic comes into play. At 160GB, I can now have my entire 600 cd music collection with me in my car, hooked up to my Alpine receiver. Approximately 6000 songs (in lossless format!)...in my car...in a piece of technology smaller than a deck of cards! That is what I call amazing. Most importantly, however, the sound quality is exactly the same as the cd. If you're an audiophile, or if you just want to be able to have tons of music, photos and videos at your fingertips, get the iPod Classic. You will not be sorry!

I would recommend this product with some reservations. The fabric after use, developed picks like those that develop on sweaters. They are rough and feel as though there is sand in the bed. Feels like you need to use a sweater shaver before using again.These developed after one use.
These sheets are the most disappointing purchase I have made from Overstock. The price was good and there was the additional sale discount, but I would still not have ordered these sheets had they been accurately described. I ordered three sets of the white, queen sets. Upon arrival, they had a very strong chemical smell. So, I washed them in warm water with gentle detergent and an extra rinse. Then dried on low. As I removed them from the dryer, it became obvious that every piece had a serious flaw-- open seams, poor stitching, accidental tucks and gathers, mismatched ends, small stains, etc. Literally, not one pillowcase of the six was well made and not one top sheet was well made. Two of the pillowcase are probably not actually usable, the shape is so distorted! I believe these sheet sets are "seconds", that is-- products that failed the quality check to be shipped to stores. There is nothing wrong with selling seconds, but they should be clearly identified as such.
I do not think that the weight of the fabric is nice enough. Who cares how many threads per square inch if they are so small that they still make it poor quality? The color is rich and the sheet looks nice until you pick it up and hold it to the light. It's practically transparent.
These sheets are soft to touch, the colors I ordered are true to the pictures, especially the Cinnamon. Even if you did not plan to, you should wash them before sleeping on them; there is some shedding and odor of plastic from the packaging. Although they are advertised as wrinkle-resistant, they come out of the dryer VERY wrinkled; if you are one who wants smooth sheets and a crisp hem at the head, you will need to iron to make that happen.
These sheets are comfy as everyone says. After being on the bed for 4 days they started getting the little fuzzies on them.
A smooth, silky sheet set with vibrant colors-- perfect for my granddaughter's bed!
These sheets are gorgeous! Good quality and a nice sheen to them. The color was perfect!
good buy....good quality.
horrible product, will never buy again.
these sheets lost a LOT of lint in the dryer. They became see-through. I'm a little scared to wash them again for fear they will fall apart completely.

I wasn't aware that the Royal Family were personally responsible for setting university tuition fees.... http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/10/world/europe/10britain.html
EYS. All the more ironic, hasn't Prince Charles sympathized with New Labour in the past? More at http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/ .
From what I understood from the News earlier, it was a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time sort of a thing. While I more than understand the anger behind what the UK Government is doing w/Uni Tutition, violence isn't the answer either. Stupid!!
In the latest news, Prince Charles and Camilla have had their carriage attacked during student riots in London. To calm Camilla down, panicked assistants rushed to her side with a bag of oats.
As pointed out already, it was a case of them being in the wrong place at the wrong time. People are extremely angry and they're going to lash out at anybody seen as "connected to the system." Which could be seen as rather silly in this case, because Charles has been a moderately left-wing activist for a long time now.
While I'm not a fan of Camilla's in the least, I don't find the snarky comments at all funny. This is the worst screwup on the part of the Royalty Diplomatic Protection Squad in years and has brought up memories of the kidnap attempt on Princess Anne back in the day. There's nothing funny about this at all. The Daily Mail ~ ROYAL CAR ATTACK ~ Royal protection officers 'seconds from drawing their guns on mob' after Camilla was hit in ribs by thug through car's open window That's not the only disgusting thing this mob did yesterday, as they also defiled some rather important momuments in London, most of all of those being the National Cenataph. Still think it's funny?
Actually, it's pretty odd that no one in the car thought to put the window up until after the poking. Stuck in a mob of screaming people, and your window is down - too removed from normal life to even think how to operate something for yourself? Expect others to take care of it for you? Quite the wake up call there. As for the vandalism - add the clean up and repair costs onto the tuition hike.
I agree the situation all around is extremely tough, and while I can certainly understand the plight of the protestors, the tuition hike is insanely high in a bad economy, there is absolutely NO justifiable excuse for what took place last night. I absolutely 150% agree with the student's right to protest. I probably would have been one of them, but do it peacefully! The Royal Family had nothing to do with the government lifting the cap on tuition fees. There is no reason why this kind of brutish and disgusting behavior took place last night. The people to direct your anger at (in a peaceful manner of course) is the government, vote them out of office, chant, write, sing, do whatever you want as long as it is peaceful and does NOT bring harm to any other individuals. This goes for any individual, it doesn't matter if it's the royals or not. To attack any kind of person out of the blue is unacceptable and should never be tolerated! Rant Done
"You must spread some reputation around before giving it to essence_of_soy again." This was so deliciously snarky TeeHee! "You must spread some reputation around before giving it to IceAlisa again."
According to this article, the student protests may well have been hijacked by others who caused the violence: http://www.newsweek.com/2010/12/10/latest-london-protests-not-all-about-students.html
Wouldn't surprise me. I support the student protest, but I do NOT support the violence. I think it's disgusting. That blanket statement also covers the police who are acting like complete thugs. Protesters and police alike were acting like animals that day, and it completely detracts from the issue which is...David Cameron making university education so expensive that only the rich can afford it. Again. SO glad that I'll be finished before his changes come in

Gallery: Bloon: Zero2Infinity Proposes Eco Friendly Near-Space Travel W...
Eight inflatable feet are extended from the craft to create a cushion for landing.
The Bloon Balloon can be launched from anywhere in the world for a flight specially catered to the passengers. Four passengers plus two pilots can fit inside the craft, which is launched off a specially crafted inflatable dome set on the ground. When released the lighter-than-air helium balloon lifts the pod off the ground and into space where you cruise at 36 km for about two hours. To come down, the helium gas is vented into space and then the balloon separates while a parafoil is deployed to control descent back down to earth. Finally, eight inflatable feet are extended from the craft to create a cushion for landing.
Bloon will not use any propellants to achieve near-space travel and creates no emissions as a result. The system is virtually silent and requires no major infrastructure for launching – only a portable and inflatable structure that can be used anywhere in the world. With a scaled prototype test under their belts, the company hopes to perform their first human test flight in 2012 in a 'minibloon' craft. By 2015, the company expects to be carrying human passengers up to 36 km high. The company also hopes to make use of the flights for scientific research about climate and conditions in the upper stratosphere. Tickets to ride on a 3-hr Bloon tour are estimated to cost 110,000 euro (approx $US 160,000).

Maybe they could locate to some where with little to no air traffic (seems like they would have to anyway), keep the "Bloon" tethered and reel it back at the end.
caeman August 16, 2011 at 12:36 pm
With Helium reserves a finite and shrinking resource, maybe another form near-space travel should be considered.
Bardsworld August 16, 2011 at 12:25 pm
So using vast amounts of a non-renewable resource (helium) for pleasure trips is green? Do they not know the world is running out of helium – http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/why-the-world-is-running-out-of-helium-2059357.html

Approximately one-third of the population of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, a series of islands and atolls in the Pacific, has relocated to the United States, with Hawaii, Guam, and Arkansas key destinations. Lack of economic and employment opportunities are among the leading factors that have prompted this migration. Access to education and health care, which are critically important for a population that has reduced life expectancy and significant negative health indicators, also represent key factors.
The U.S. immigrant population—estimated at 40.8 million in 2012 — is the nation's historical numerical high, and it is also the largest foreign-born population in the world. About 20 percent of all international migrants reside in the United States, even as the country accounts for less than 5 percent of global population. This article presents the latest, most sought-after data on immigrants in the United States—by origin, residence, legal status, deportations, languages spoken, and more—in one easy-to-use resource.
In a decision that received little notice, the Supreme Court in mid-March declined to review federal appellate decisions that struck down controversial local immigration ordinances in Hazleton, Pennsylvania, and Farmers Branch, Texas—bringing to a close a contentious chapter in immigration litigation. This article also explores President Obama's decision to order a review of deportation policies, Chile's admission into the Visa Waiver Program, and more.
The small window for enactment of a major U.S. immigration overhaul during 2014 seems to have closed. A trial balloon testing House Republicans' willingness to proceed this year was quickly floated and dropped. Amid a focus on politics and timing, less noted was the reality that for the first time, House Republican leaders have affirmed support for a policy that would move the party closer to compromise over the most vexing question holding up immigration reform: what to do with the nation's unauthorized immigrants.
In 2012, the United States granted humanitarian protection to more than 87,000 people, with grants of asylum up 19 percent and refugee admissions up 3 percent from a year earlier. This article provides a detailed look at the most recent refugee and asylum data in the United States, including country of origin, top states of settlement, and more.
With the prospects for immigration reform greater than they have been in more than a decade and the U.S. economy slowly shrugging off the effects of the recession, the United States may be on the cusp of historic changes that make the immigration system a more effective tool for innovation, economic growth and the competitiveness of its firms—large and small.
MPI's President, Demetrios G. Papademetriou, and the Editor-in-Chief of The American Prospect, Kit Rachlis, engage in a lively Google Hangout discussion about the policies and politics that have created the United States' antiquated, inflexible immigration system and how to create a modern-day, flexible immigration system suited for the competitiveness of the 21st century.
This discussion covers some of the most difficult issues that must be addressed if the United States is to reform its immigration system in ways that work not only for today's reality but tomorrow's future.
Testimony of Demetrios G. Papademetriou, MPI President, before the Subcommittee on Immigration and Border Security, Committee on the Judiciary, U.S. House of Representatives.
MPI's National Center on Immigrant Integration Policy convened a major public policy research symposium focused on young children of immigrants in the U.S.
The Chair of the Global Forum on Migration and Development, along with the Special Advisor to the UN Special Representative for International Migration discuss what is expected from The UN High-Level Dialogue on Migration and Development in October 2013 and what impact it may have on the Global Forum on Migration and Development.
During this online chat, MPI researchers discuss their findings in an MPI brief, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals at the One-Year Mark: A Profile of Currently Eligible Youth and Applicants, that provides the most up-to-date estimates of the current and prospective DACA population by educational attainment, English proficiency, state of residence, country of origin, age, gender, labor force participation, poverty, and parental status.
MPI experts participate in a video chat shortly after the Migration Policy Institute released an analysis comparing the major provisions of the Senate bill to those of the individual House bills considered to date in House committees.
At this release event in Washington, DC, co-sponsored by MPI, the Chicago Council on Global Affairs, and ImmigrationWorks USA, the Chicago Council's independent task force on immigration released its report, U.S. Economic Competitiveness at Risk: A Midwest Call to Action on Immigration Reform.

Within days, the Obama administration is expected to reach a milestone that has brought fear and anger to immigrant communities: A record 2 million removals since taking office. At the same time, the administration is accused of failure to enforce immigration law for its actions to shield from deportation hundreds of thousands of unauthorized immigrant youth and others. How are these two seemingly contradictory realities possible?
MPI experts, along with representatives from Gwinnett County Public Schools and the University of Georgia's Center for Latino Achievement and Success in Education, discuss the educational experiences of Georgia's first- and second-generation immigrant youth and where Georgia's ambitious education reforms have met—or failed to meet—the needs of this growing population.
This event with UN High Commissioner for Refugees António Guterres features findings from UNHCR's report, Children on the Run, which examines the increasing numbers of children from Central America and Mexico who head off alone to find refuge in the United States, fleeing violence, insecurity, and abuse. The discussion provides analysis on the reasons behind the growing migration of this vulnerable population and offers recommendations. Read the report here.
This report analyzes the educational experiences and outcomes of immigrant youth ages 16 to 26 across Georgia's education systems, encompassing K-12, adult, and postsecondary. By examining these interconnected systems together, the analysis offers linked strategies for advancing the educational attainment of Georgia's immigrant youth.
This panel discussion on unaccompanied minors focuses on a report by Kids in Need of Defense and the Center for Gender & Refugee Studies at UC Hastings College of the Law, whose primary conclusion is that children face a U.S. immigration system created for adults that is not required to consider the child's best interests.
This discussion explores how the 2014 Greek Presidency of the European Union and the United States can work to address the challenges of managing migration while meeting humanitarian obligations and nurturing economic growth.
This panel discussion offers perspectives on border policy management from leading officials in the Canadian, Mexican, and U.S. governments, and showcases the MPI book, "Managing Borders in an Increasingly Borderless World."
During this public briefing in Guatemala City (conducted in both English and Spanish), the Co-Directors of the Migration Policy Institute-convened Regional Migration Study Group, MPI President Demetrios G.

Midwest Living Review
Its address in a residential neighborhood belies the high-style dining at Carriage House. Behind double doors is a cozy dining room with a soaring ceiling topped with the original exposed beams. The furniture is antique, the art is museum quality, the service is attentive and the food is excellent. We made a short stop in the tiny bar to sample one of the cocktail specials the Adam and Eve, flavored with apple and an edible hibiscus flower that added rich color and a raspberrylike taste. Once seated in the dining room, we studied the 20-page wine list -- choosing one of the most affordable bottles, a Meiomi Pinot Noir at $54. With so many options, the Carriage House's owner and licensed sommelier, Judith Cote, is glad to make recommendations. Dinner began with a Carriage House liver pate and pickle plate and an escargot appetizer ($15) that was rich, tasty and served with a delicate, buttery bread for dipping. Next up, the house salad: mixed greens with endive and oranges topped with a honey-glazed pear and pecans. For entrees, we enjoyed filet mignon with artichoke hearts and Bearnaise sauce, served with crispy waffle cut fries ($49 for a 12-ounce cut), and the signature veal Baltimore, lightly breaded veal cutlets with shitake mushrooms and onions, lump crab and a velvety cream sauce. Amazing! The dessert cart features mile-high lemon meringue pie, apple cake and triple chocolate cake, among other temptations. We chose chocolate (layers of chocolate mousse covered in chocolate ganache with a side of raspberry sauce), a serving large enough to share. It was a perfect ending to a meal that included attentive, but not intrusive, service. If we loved Carriage House this much on a snowy February night, we can't imagine what it would be to sit among the 10,000 blooming peonies in May. A distinctive alfresco menu includes wood-fired pizzas (from $12), Maine lobster roll ($28) or even burgers ($12). The dining room is open Tuesday through Saturday evenings. Reservations preferred. Consider dressing at least business casual for the dining room.

The cutaway drawing and its artists

Thank you NPP, but where are the other illustrators? not dead, I hope. Does anyone know where Bill Bennet is? When I 'liberated' my artwork from Standard House I took a load of his artwork too, as I knew that it faced a fate worse than death at the hands of the cleaners - all my big Motoring News litho-negs were put in a skip.
It deserves a better home than my plan-chest.

We are honored to be able to enjoy your fantastic works. Thank you so much for Posting them.

Sometimes the work in progress is as interesting as the final result. I went to a Turner exhibition whilst at college and was more interested in his rough sketches of churches than the stuff he was famous for. The construction of a piece is sometimes better than the final result!
I see you add a bit of weight to the pencil lines to give some shape and add bits of shading here and there. I used to get a rollicking for doing it when I worked at Huntings, as the bosses thought it a waste of time. I always said it was giving me ideas for the final piece but they thought it a waste of time. The were morons though - oh the battles we had:)
Tony, when you were on day release at Luton, did you come across a part time lecturer called Jack Crawley. A fascinating artist in a similar style to Bob Freeman. He never understood Rotring pens and Ellipse templates. It was all paintbrushes and ruling pens. A rubbish teacher but watching him sketch with a brush and watercolour was just magic. He was an ex WW2 fighter pilot, had a selection of big, old motor bikes and was very much old school and a real character. People like that just don't exist anymore.
Keep posting the cutaways. I think I've seen most of them before but one never gets fed up with pure class
Have you not thought about marketing these on a website. I'm sure there would be a lot of interest.

Tony, we have semi-regular TNF Get-Togethers not that far from Hitchin - just up the A1 between Baldock and Biggleswade (just a bit north of the A505 at the Tudor Oaks to be exact). We used to meet in Woburn, but worked out that most of us were actually east of there...live and learn.
I guess we'll probably be meeting up again some time in October. Please feel to join us - to say that you would be welcome would be an understatement. You would certainly be amongst friends.

His first IndyCar victory at Portland was that year in like colors. Please continue with the show.
Actually that art was done by David Kimble. I work with him. Next time I chat with him I can ask if he has any of those prints left.

Does anyone have access to a copy of the cutaway drawing of the Bugatti T251 GP car, which I believe was published in Auto Italia after the car first appeared ? I am especially interested in the front suspension layout. Any other drawing or diagram of the car's layout would also be welcome.

You are very kind Tom, your work and mine are very different in style and execution - which is as it should be - but you are so neat and meticulous...! Words fail me.
I had a look at the Inomoto site earlier - obviously I am familiar with his work_ and I much prefer yours. To my surprise he has little regard for accuracy, the complete opposite to my approach, and, I'm sure, yours too.
The only trannie I have of the 250F is very pale and thin, and -at the moment - no Photoshop to improve it. However I'll do my best.
Re: Bugatti T251, I can't help, Roger, but I would think that Il Presidente Senior Nye must have some archive material that would help. Good luck.

Hello Tony. The stuff you have posted would amaze me if I had not already seen some of it. Your remark "I've let you see mine" reminds me of the first time I met Bob Freeman. It was Bologna/Milan/Monza. It was the 25th anniversary of Lamborghini. It was the year that Derek Warwick did a barrel roll out of the Parabolica at the end of the first lap. 1988, I think, but I haven't checked.
Anyway, we were there with a small party consisting of a few journalists and wealthy Lamborghini owners, an eclectic bunch. The best of them was a chap from the West Country, a retired scrap dealer who owned a Countach. On a coach from the circuit to the airport, he showed us (Bob and me) some photos of his driveway. First photo was of the impressive gates, second a bend with bushes on either side, and in the third, as you exited the corner, there was this nicely-mounted Lightning jet aimed up into the sky. Well, where did he get that? He bought it from the Ministry of Defence and took it home on his lorry. But of course the wings were too wide to travel on public roads, so he cut them off and then welded them back on (invisible mending, it seemed, though one would not wish to fly in the machine after that; probably not before, either).
But there were some other Lambo owners, mostly Americans with trophy wives. One of these painted ladies started banging on about an advertising campaign, up on big posters throughout Monza and Milan for some clothing company, probably the dreadful Benetton. She suggested that it showed how degenerate Europe was, as it was, she thought, virtually an invitation to paedophilia. The posters portrayed a little boy and a little girl, both aged two or three, pulling each other's underpants, and evidently the message was "You show me yours..." I could sense that Bob was getting cross, and eventually he could not restrain himself. He launched into a brief history of European Art, and followed this with an interesting discourse on how crap the USA was in general, with a few exceptions which he graciously acknowledged, and how the artistic portrayal of sex and nudity in Europe had not caused any harm, and how the puritanism of the USA was much more harmful overall.
Well, I didn't feel qualified to pass judgment on much of that, but I thought, what a terrific chap. "Do you feel better for that?" I asked quietly when he had finished. He said nothing but smiled.
Posted 16 September 2008 - 21:05
Great work, of course. I've seen your name around for years, it's nice to have you around here...
I have a couple of questions:
What size do you do these pieces?
The perspective seems to vary- on some the front and rear axle are drawn at almost the same angle (like the Valvoline Ford Indy car), while other show quite a bit more difference from perspective of the front and rear axle (Williams Renault F1 car). What decides the perspective? You the artist, the client, the photograph reference?
I love the rear view of the Ford indy car with the driver- very rare to see in cutaways and technical drawings!
Posted 16 September 2008 - 21:29
I thought some of you might be interested in this article (in German) about Giulio Betti, the elder of the Italian Betti brothers.
Speaking of brothers in automotive technical artistry, there are also the French Bellu brothers (I presume), Serge and René.

< or > being the front of the car, Tl, Br etc being the corners of the board.
What is left? Not much, but Marlboro wanted a change and this is what they got. However, there is little info. shown of any thing transversing the vehicle, such as bulkheads. Similarly, a car drawn from head on will show very little longitudinal detail. That is why plans and elevations have to be shown together, on their own they convey very little. The technical illustrator has to try to convey as much information in one hit.You choose an angle that allows as many facets as possible to show. For instance, it's quite easy to finish up with an engine cutaway that has several major components all on top of each other, i.e., camshaft on the same centre as the crankshaft, or if the viewpoint is taken from the side of the leading cylinder (V layout). the pairs of con-rods will be on top of each other.
So, if I was doing an engine from scratch - rather than starting from the exterior and tunneling in - I would make a little 'architecture' layout in perspective (if I can find one I'll post it), like a sculpters armature. If working fom the outside in I would spend some time taking an overall photograph, moving slightly here, slightly there, trying to visualize through the viewfinder, where all the major components were. I'm going, very gingerly, to post this now, as if I lose this lot to an over-excited mouse, my howl of anguish will have petrol heads around the globe sit up and say "I didn't know anyone in the neighbourhood had a BRM V16!"
Hope this makes sense!

Talking of which - board, that is - 20"x30" invariably, sometimes a bit bigger, but that was the standard size of CS2 Water Colour Board.

I need to get schooled up again on how to post images. The only race car I've done is the Maserati 8CTF Indy car driven by Wilbur Shaw. Two other illustrations are of the 1932 Gee Bee R-2 racing plane and the fabulous Pitts Model 12 bi-plane. Posting the planes on a site dedicated to Car racing may be bit out of bounds plus I'd hate to be penalised laps if such action is deemed verboten. If enough people are interested I'd be willing to do it and ask forgiveness later.
All of the other work I've done to date is under another illustrator's name and that area is also out-of-bounds.

Apart from the obviously amazing artistic skills required, I can't quite get my head around how the artist is able to "see" inside in order to reproduce them. I would have thought that a fairly comprehensive mechanical/engineering knowledge would also be required, as well access to blue-prints / under-construction-photos etc.
I tips me hat....
Posted 17 September 2008 - 07:14
Lovely, Tom, I've still got the print you sent me in another life, I particularly like the exhaust coloured by heat. Do you know, I have NEVER done a vehicle with polished or chrome pipes. Doh!, just remembered the Vincent Black Shadow!
On more than one occasion I have been asked if (for polished wishbones, etc.,) I had a tube of 'chrome' paint. Geniune inquiries, strange but true...

Tony; A Vincent cutaway would look good,- he says hopefully
Excellent stuff, many thanks

I loved doing the pencil stage, working it all out from the three elevation blueprints. Such a pity 'progress' and using CAD-data has taken all of that out of our hands.
Posted 17 September 2008 - 08:22
I've been following this thread with absolute delight. When I was starting out in engineering, I used to devour issues of Racecar Engineering (when it was about racecar engineering and not a series of advertisements) and without doubt my favourite bit of each issue (we're talking '92 here) was the Tony Matthews cutaway. Absolutely amazing blend of techical drawing and artistry. I dislike the 'airbrush' type of cutaway (most commonly seen nowadays and neither do I like the type that's too 'flat' (excuse the description - I'm no artist) but a Matthews piece was bang-on, every time. My favourites were the pushrod Ilmor, the BTCC Accord and the Valvoline indycars.
I was very disappointed to read that Tony had stopped doing the work as it was no longer viable. With designer salaries being so great nowadays, you'd think there would be enough of them willing to commission works of their 'babies'. Like I said, a Matthews cutaway is something special.
Being an aircraft guy, I have also come to appreciate the Flight drawings but I feel that they have become increasingly computerised and not so special. The last really great one I saw was of the F-22 Raptor. I urge any of you guys to find a copy of the 'Under The Skin' book - it's a treat.
Does anyone remember, too, when the calendar included in 'Flight' every January was a series of cutaways? I think they did 2 or 3 years.
Other artists work I like are Brian Hatton and of course Bob Freeman - Special mention to the latter's Subaru semi-auto gearbox that was featured in CCC magazine once and Freeman's little notes around the drawing were a nice touch.
BTW, Tom Johnston - Your Pitts Special drawing is top notch.
IF anyone wants to see lots of nice aircraft drawings, there are a number of modeller's books that are good. In particular, for WWII aircraft:
Finally - and I apologise for contributing nothing other than text to the discussion - I was wondering Mr. Matthews if you'd ever investigated the feasability of offering prints for sale. I would think that the modern techology would provide acceptable quality without the large set-up costs and minimum print runs of old. So long as you had good scanned files to print from?

At college when I was trained as a technical illustrator, the technical graphics course consisted of several parts. Freehand pencil drawing (from life or memory sketching - for example the tutor would give us a blank sheet of paper and say 'now draw me a typewriter'. Think about doing that without one in sight for reference!), perspective, lettering, continuous tone and photo re-touching (airbrush) and technical illustration. We also had a couple of hours per week messing around in the motor mechanics department, taking engines and gearboxes apart. IIRC, for entry to the course you had to have art 'O' level and also technical drawing from school, so we already had a bit of an idea how to read blueprints.
Using general assembly blueprints as the basis and delving into further plans of components, the illustration could be built up and pieced together. Photographs, if available could also help. But when I was in Germany, most of the stuff we were drawing were concepts, no models or prototypes were available therefore our '3D' illustrations were used to show what their ideas would look like. Sometimes a part was not designed yet, or had been changed a hundred times, frustrating to try and finish the illustration waiting on information.
As you can see from Tony's excellent work, one of the skills we had to learn was which angle would be best to try and show everything clearly and secondly how much of the bodywork ( or e.g engine block or head ) should be cut-away to still show the outside shape but also show the internals.
Here's one I did in Germany. I did the pencil drawing of this KKK truck turbocharger from blueprints, but at the time we were moving over to computer graphics, so my pencil drawing was scanned, then used as a template on the PC screen to render and colour the illustration using the adobe illustrator and photoshop programmes on an Apple Macintosh.

I spent many an hour in R&D at VW's in Wolfsburg sketching various bits someone had design by making it and fitting it to a car. If it worked it went into production. In the meantime the sketches we made were used as info to create the parts and production line drawings. Quite often parts hadn't been designed but we still had to get our illustrations out, so we often drew anything that looked right. For example on the 2nd generation golf there are 2 little speakers on top of the dash at the A pillars. The speaker covers also included some small air vents. We were told that we had to finish all the dashboard work so I just drew something that fitted the space. VW obviously liked it as they made the speaker covers look almost exactly the same as the ones I'd drawn!

Same with me. I sometimes took more car with pencil drawings than the final artwork. I tended to have various sections drawn on separate sheets of tracing paper and put the whole thing together at the end. I wish I'd kept them.

Tony great to see you here. Still have my old perspective grids from college days and the packs of Leitz Ellipse guides. Lovely to be reminded of your work. In the old days working in Germany I had to airbrush an illustration of a car component in gold. As you know, Germany has very few competent illustrators, they didn't have schools to teach it, hence the Brits coming in to help out. Off they went to get some supplies and came back with the correct board, frisk masking film, brushes etc etc, and lots of tubes of...gold paint! A job to explain you don't actually use highly reflective actual gold, but make it look like it mixing conventional colours and painting in reflections. All we are doing is creating an illusion.

Tired of waiting for the delivery, have come home for a coffee -
Andrew, I have rarely asked other illustrators to help, but on the odd occasion when I've been really up against it I have sought aid. One such time was when I needed a Williams side view and I thought I knew the man for the job. Unfortunately, not only where the wheels not round, he had - you're ahead of me! - used GOLD paint to represent the gold on the car.
He was lucky, I paid him, I was unlucky, I had to bin it and do it myself!
By the way, I also have my elipse guides, but I've never seen a perspective grid, let alone used one. I can only guess what they must look like.
IrishMariner, spare my blushes. Racer was the one magazine that printed my work the way I wanted, solid, sharp, a white background and a reasonable size. A great magazine, but I've not seen it for a considerable time. John Zimmerman was always very good to deal with.
You are right about the aircraft work - one of my all-time favoutites is a Chance-Vought Crusader by Frank Munger (?) done in pencil - beautiful.
As to prints, once bitten twice shy. Terrific Stuff sold a few, but were mainly disappointed. Four years ago I burnt 450 20"x30" prints of the Long-nose 'D' Type Jaguar because the local recycling centre wouldn't take them. "Nah, mate, that's commercial waste, that is, you can't dump it 'ere!" When I tried again using individual ink-jet prints I approaced Williams GP as I had finished a cutaway of the FW 22. "Be prepared to be inundated!" said Patrick Head's secretary Heather, after she'd kindly stuck some A4 posters at strategic places in the factory. On offer were 20"x30" or 20"x16" prints at, I think, £50 and £30. I sold one of each, and was £180 out of pocket.So now you know why....
Alan, I'm a squirrel! Ive kept all my working drawings, and the Ferrari 049 engine (2000) was done on one full sheet and several smaller sheets when it all got too confusing and I had to work out the crankshaft, con. rods and valves. It's a good system, or it worked for me.
Roger, Vincent coming soon. Hitchin is four miles from Stevenage, home of HRG, and Vincent sprinter George Brown used to have his shop and workshop in the old town centre.
Seldo sir, I work mainly from photographs that - I keep writing in the present tense, Freudian or what? - that I took myself, usually 2 or 3 35mm films, B&W, and had my own darkroom so I could tell any paranoid designer - that's not criticsm - that no-one would see them but me. If it was not a top secret or embargo'd subject then I'd use a roll of colour too. It difficult but not impossible to do an engine without works 'blue-prints', at least a couple, but if, as in the case of the first Ilmor engine, the 265A, no engine exists, it's a struggle. but, hey, what's life without the occaisional struggle? Less exhausting but ultimately less satisfying.
That's today's philosophying over and done with.

Thanks for clearing all that up.
Racecar Engineering is still going but went downhill after Ian Bamsey left. Lately it's been nothing but thinly-veiled adverts for the companies involved. Racetech was good but I have cancelled my sub as motorsport in general ceases to impress me much. My era was that of the '88 March, '91 Jordan, '95 Ferrari 402 T2 and suchlike - Cars that were both beautiful to look at and technically interesting. I still get Piola's book, though - as he's brilliant.
As for the prints, the unfortunate experiences you've had thus far are what I would consider 'push' marketing - Make then sell. I was thinking more along the lines of a 'pull' situation where people order prints and, every 6 weeks or so you'd compile the orders and go to your local Kwik-Print and get, say, 12 Williams FW13s', 6 Ilmor 5001's, etc. Wonder if that business model would work? I understand that's why your DFS suite takes 8 weeks - they wait until they've enough orders for a particular design to warrent firing up the sweatshop.
BTW, loved the prep sketches that you've uploaded (Nissan GTP & Accord) - highlights your inherent artistry.

How To take care your ASUS AL23 901 Laptop battery?
When using a equipment as a desktop replacement the battery should not be left in for long periods of time. The equipment will over time discharge the
ASUS AL23 901 Laptop battery
. Remove the battery, making sure that it is charged to 50% and store it in a dry, warm place. Ensure that it is wrapped protectively and nothing will be dropped on it. The battery should be re-installed every 3-4 weeks and allowed to fully discharge. Leaving a battery in storage for longer than this without using could cause the battery to fully discharge as the circuitry of the battery itself consumes power. Leaving a battery in a equipment while using an electrical outlet for long periods of time will keep the battery in a constant state of charging up and that will reduce the life cycle of the Laptop batteries.
What Kind Of Laptop batteries Should You Get?
You are watching your television and a commercial comes on that claims that they have found the internet in the vast reaches of a mountain wasteland. It is a great advertising gimmick but it raises a very good question - how would you recharge your

way up in the mountains? As more people become reliant on their equipment for their every day existence the Laptop batteries takes front and center as one of the most important parts of the equipment. Many people run their
Laptop batteries
until it just cannot hold a charge anymore and then they look to replace it. Some people buy extra batteries and carry them around with them fully charged so that they can keep on equipment wherever they are. Still others hail the advent of the Laptop batteries that increases battery time by a significant margin and eliminates the need to carry extra batteries around. Many people like the idea of using their laptop on and off all day without having to recharge their batteries until they settle in for the night. But there are a lot of things to consider with your replacement Laptop batteries and some of the most important things to consider are things you would never think of.
