I have this one winter-hat I really like, because its long enough to go over my ears and it just fits great. But it is already more then 10 years old (see how great it is ) and it is blue, which is a nice color, but doesnt fit to well with most of the colors I wear and doesnt look to great with my red and brown winter-jacket. Neither with the still becoming winter-coat. Anyhow. I still had some of those nice knits and thought I just do twins of my old favorite hat in better fitting colors.

I used a hat I already owned for the pattern, I am not sure how to do that in a pdf, unless I cut it up in normal sized paper pieces?

Gensu Dean - Faces on the Dollar
Artist: Gensu Dean
Featuring: Planet Asia
Producer: Gensu Dean
Album: Abrasions
Avg Rating: 4.4 ( 11 votes )
When people say that money talks, they're usually asking someone to prove the value of their words by putting their pocketbook on the line. Planet Asia takes the idiom in a more literal direction on the lead single off his collaborative set with Gensu Dean, imagining the Faces on the Dollar encouraging him as he goes about his ceaseless paper chase. Over the Mello Music Group beatsmith's piano loops and slow-rolling rhythm section, the Fresno stalwart chronicles his ongoing efforts to achieve "legendary status," with all the worldly wealth that implies. Packing guest appearances by Tragedy Khadafi, David Banner and more, the duo's Abrasions LP is pre-orderable here in anticipation of its February 26, release to record stores and online retailers.

Black Heart Medical Charms w/ Lobster Clasp
- Product Review (submitted on August 9, 2012):
- I like the looks of the charm very much, however I had only been wearing the charm for a few days when I noticed that the charm was missing and only the lobster claw remained on my bracelet. It was replaced but I have already noticed that the jump ring on this one seems to be weak and I am going to replace it with a better quality one so I don't lose the pendant again.

To the untrained eye this doesn't look much cop but it's such a good dish you just gotta try it! The jalapeños are essential as is the sour cream and guacamole. I've given the beef version below but I also like using shredded chicken, onions and garlic, with black pepper and cayenne instead of the chilli con carne. A complete meal in itself and damn fine one at that.

Why not Shanahan as next Bears coach?
Why not Shanahan? He's an Oak Park, Illinois native who played at Eastern Illinois. He led the Broncos to a pair of Super Bowl wins. And he somehow managed to take an inherently dysfunctional Washington franchise to the postseason in 2012.
For all of our laughs at Cutler's expense over the years, it would be pretty awesome to see these two reunite and succeed.
The Broncos' visit with Richie Incognito reportedly "went well," but apparently not enough so to sign the jerk.
According to Incognito's workout partner and pretend journalist Jay Glazer, Denver will revisit the idea after their games at St. Louis and against Miami.
Continue reading "Broncos think better of signing huge jerk, at least for now"
Maybe John Elway doesn't like the Broncos' new status as America's most popular team.
Or, he thinks the offensive line sucks.
Either way, the Broncos worked out Richie Incognito on Monday, according to his comrade in meatheadedness Jay Glazer.
Good Morning, Broncos fans! Road games are supposed to be tough, but let's be honest - the Rams are terrible, especially in the fourth quarters of games.
Sure, they have a couple of big divisional wins over the Seahawks and Niners, but there's something about divisional matchups.
And of course, there are quite a few teams that have beaten the Seahawks and Niners this year.
According to the DP, Ronnie Hillman will miss at least two weeks with a foot sprain he suffered at Oakland on Sunday.
Denver travels to face the Rams in St. Louis this Sunday, before hosting Miami in Week 12.
The week after that, they'll face the Chiefs on SNF at Arrowhead. The current timeline would have Hillman back for that showdown.
Continue reading "Foot sprain to cost Ronnie Hillman at least two weeks"
PFF, ESPN, and CBS preview the matchup. Enjoy the game!
Good Morning, Broncos fans! We'll open with a couple of notes from Sunday's Lions/Dolphins game.
Detroit (7-2) overcame a special-teams nightmare to pull off a last-minute 20-16 victory on a touchdown pass by Matthew Stafford.
Of direct interest to the Broncos, the Dolphins (5-4) lost left tackle Branden Albert for the season to a knee injury.
Continue reading "Jay Cutler still sucks, and Matt Prater is still not automatic"
We all find comfort in the familiar.
The flannel shirt you wore right out of the dryer, your girlfriend's banana bread, a Showgirls marathon on TV—these are the things that make us whole.
But nothing gives comfort like a game against the Oakland Raiders.
Perhaps it's the porous coverage or the liquid tackling. Or maybe it's just the way Raiders fans act like they could bite the head off a bat but really go home and play 50 Shades of Grey.
Continue reading "Gut Reaction: Week 10 - Broncos @ Raiders"
Denver (7-2) and Peyton Manning overcame an ugly opening 20 minutes to unleash five straight touchdown passes in a 41-17 drubbing at Oakland (0-9).
A pair of interceptions by Manning helped stake the Raiders to an early 10-6 lead, but the first-place Broncos poured it on from there.
Manning finished with 340 yards, five scores, and two picks in three quarters of play.
Emmanuel Sanders and Julius Thomas each caught a pair of touchdowns, while C.J. Anderson added 163 yards from scrimmage and a highlight reel 51-yard score.
Continue reading "Final Score: Broncos 41, Raiders 17 (Updated)"
Inactives: Broncos - Montee Ball, Tony Carter, Kapri Bibbs, Nate Irving, Paul Cornick, Michael Schofield, Virgil Green

In july spinning "Before 5" donated by Ice Pepper
Children who are burnt, tortured, ostricised or killed: That is the reality for many African children who because of superstitions is seen as witches. It may for instance be because of the need to find a scapegoat after a death in the family in which case it is easy to accuse a child of witchcraft because the child can not defend themselves.
In the state of Akwa Ibom in Nigeria, this is a considerable problem, and the children who survive torture, usually ends up living a lonely and miserable life on the streets.
Therefore, superstition is one of the biggest challenges Nigeria is facing. No matter what people die from, it is often being attributed to witchcraft. Crimes such as armed robbery is said to be caused by it. Even debilitating diseases as well as ordinary colds are linked to witchcraft. Each year, thousands of children are accused of being witches, and most of them end up being ostricised and some even die alone on the street.

Zuccarelli's chefs have been serving fine Italian dishes for nearly three decades, but their recipes date back much further. Every day, they re-create carefully crafted homemade pasta, buttery sauces, and savory meats that have been shared at Italian tables for centuries. The cooks expertly render innovative interpretations of these time-honored dishes, tending to pans of simmering veal, chicken, and seafood, and tossing pizza crusts with gourmet toppings and cheese.
In the dining room, diners linger over last sips of wine and final bites of homemade tiramisu. A Romanesque column towers over the room, beaming down on rows of cushy booths and walls lined with artwork. On Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings, a guitarist serenades guests with authentic Italian music and 1980s video-game themes upon request.
The chefs at Argenti Pizza adorn their deep-dish pizzas—dubbed Argenti-style pies—with such creative ingredients as blue cheese, eggplant, pimientos, and chicken alfredo. The family-friendly eatery also piles plates high with spaghetti, ravioli, or chicken parmesan, their savory aromas mingling with karaoke tunes on Friday and Monday nights. At the other end of the pie spectrum, thinner New York–style crusts bake to a golden brown before being eaten or subbed in during frisbee golf.
Andrew Garavuso occasionally leaves his post as chef at Sicilian Oven to display his culinary abilities. In one appearance on NBC 6's morning show, he passed out samples of his eatery's wood-fired pizzas and cooked mussels in white wine sauce. Back on the home turf of his kitchen, chef Garavuso stands over steaming pots of house-made sauces and cuts from-scratch pasta dough into strips of linguine or sheets to write lasagna recipes on. Around him, wood-fired pizzas emerge from ovens, steam pouring from fresh-made dough in golden circles or the square shape that is traditional for Sicilian pies. Tomatoes imported from Italy support toppings, such as olives, fresh basil, steak, sopressata, and gorgonzola.
The chefs at Crazy Tomato Pizza and Wings bake traditional and creative pies to serve crowds both large and small. Their wings make for savory finger food for groups gathered around the big game, with each batch coming out piping hot and made to order.
Sicilian?born chef Agostino Vedda has been cooking for more than 40 years, and it shows at Sophia's Pizzeria & Restaurant. The restaurant, which he runs with his wife Vilma, is known for its housemade sauces that flavor pastas and chicken, veal, and seafood entrees. Sophia's also serves up more casual Italian cuisine such as calzones, sub sandwiches, and the only the food that astronauts are allowed to bring into space: pizza.
We specialize in Italian cooking with a few dishes out-of-the-ordinary that you can't find at other places. Let our warm friendly staff serve you and make sure your dining experience is supurb!

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1950 Studebaker Champion Starlight Coupe
Studebaker enthusiast Doug Hodak dreamed up this P-38 Lightning-inspired 1950 Champion Starlight Coupe, for sale on Hemmings.com, during a discussion with some fellow Studebaker Drivers Club members at the 2007 Studebaker International Meet in South Bend, Indiana.
He kicked off a search for the right candidate and discovered his rolling warbird in the September 2008 edition of Turning Wheels Magazine (the official publication of the Studebaker Drivers Club).
"A gentleman from North Dakota sold me the car. It was an Aero Blue, modestly equipped beauty," Hodak wrote in the August 2012 issue of Hemmings Motor News (Under Restoration) "Some rust like most, but it fit the bill. Two weeks later, the car was in my front yard. In another two months, I had the front clip off, the engine pulled, and it sitting on a trailer destined for the body shop."
Four months later, the car was out of the body shop, its Aero Blue paint traded in for a gleaming silver. Next Hodak, with the help of his brother Mark, a former Studebaker mechanic, got the car's mechanicals in tip top shape.
For the signature graphics, Hodak turned to the P-38 National Association: "They led me to several photos, also informing me that the best collection of markings was a Monogram airplane model kit made in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The decal sheet in the kit had correct, detailed markings for the plane. With a little creative license and the help of a local graphics shop, it was possible to develop vinyl graphics to cover the vehicle. The most difficult—placing over 750 rivets!"
Hodak drove the car to his wedding in May 2009 and even donned a pilot hat and goggles for the drive with his new bride to the reception. In 2009, the high-flying coupe scored a first place at the SDC International Meet in Cedar Rapids in the Studebaker Powered Custom division.
Today this attention-getting two-door is up for grabs, ready for a new pilot to take the controls. From the seller's description:
1950 Champion Starlight Coupe: Excellent condition with graphics depicting WWII Lockheed P-38 Lightning fighter plane. Recent original drive train rebuild, $12k in body work/paint, new vintage tires, electrically and mechanically solid. Paint sparkles like polished aluminum aircraft. See photo link. $22,500. No trades please!

One-of-a-kind 1952 Lazzarino Sports Prototipo heads to auction
1952 Lazzarino Sports Prototipo. Photos by David Newhardt, courtesy Mecum Auctions.
At first glance, particularly painted in a shade of red very similar to rosso corsa, the sleek sports prototype racer with the faux wire wheels looks very much like a Ferrari. Its construction, however, took place in Buenos Aires, Argentina, half a world away from Maranello, and beneath its hand-sculpted hood beats a flathead Ford V-8, not a Ferrari V-12. Once featured in the pages of Hemmings Sports and Exotic Car, the 1952 Lazzarino Sports Prototipo heads to auction next month at Mecum's Monterey, California, sale.
The story of Carrocería Lazzarino begins in Buenos Aires in 1927, when Juan Lazzarino emigrated from Turin, Italy, with his sons Bautista and Miguel. There, the family set up a metal fabrication shop in the city's La Paternal district, and word of the shop's proficiency in sculpting metal soon spread. By the mid-1930s, the Lazzarinos had received some recognition as coachbuilders, but fame and fortune continued to elude them.
Success came in 1934, when a Packard rebodied by Bautista Lazzarino was used by Cardinal Pacelli (who would later become Pope Pius XII) during the 1934 Eucharistic Congress. The exposure the car (and hence, the shop) received brought in new clients from across Argentina, and Bautista's business prospered throughout the 1930s and into the 1940s. In the postwar years, a renewed focus on racing saw a shift in Bautista's business; the majority of work requested by clients involved the retrofitting of aerodynamic body panels on (primarily prewar) Fords, Chevrolets, Plymouths and Dodges.
Bautista Lazzarino had become the Argentinean coachbuilder of choice for those interested in speed and performance, and in 1952, the chairman of Ford Argentina contracted with Lazzarino to build a sports racer equipped with a flathead Ford V-8 engine. The resulting car featured a hand-welded tubular steel frame wrapped in hand-beaten steel bodywork, with hand-formed aluminum panels used for the floor, transmission tunnel and dash. As a concession toward weight savings, the trunk lid was formed from aluminum, and the backing plates of the drum brakes were painstakingly drilled by hand. Craftsmanship was evident throughout, from the hand-built pedal assemblies (also drilled for lightness) to the custom-built independent A-arm front suspension.
From its early days, the Lazzarino Sports Prototipo led something of a hard life. First and foremost, it was a race car, campaigned by a string of owners throughout Argentina (and, presumably, South America). In the 1970s, the car was advertised for sale as a Ferrari, but those inspecting the then-derelict racer quickly realized the car had no such pedigree. It finally found a home with Jorge Penedo, who discovered that its flathead Ford V-8 was frozen with rust; to return the car to the road, he used what was at hand, bolting in the slant six and four-speed manual transmission from an Argentinean Chrysler Valiant.
The car found its way to Belgium before being acquired by New York stockbroker Jonathan Auerbach, who told Mark McCourt in the April 2007 issue of Hemmings Sports and Exotic Car that the Lazzarino reminded him of the Ferrari 212 Spyder Vignale he'd once owned (and could no longer afford). As part of the purchase agreement, Auerbach requested FIA licensing paperwork on the car, making it eligible for historic races such as the revived Mille Miglia.
When the car arrived on U.S. soil, Auerbach made the decision to run it in a 4,200 mile Pan-American rally, so restoration was entrusted to Jim Shelly's Georgica Services, Ltd. in East Hampton, New York. To keep things simple, Auerbach retained the slant-six drivetrain instead of attempting to rebuild the original (seized) flathead V-8, included with the purchase of the car. The stockbroker enjoyed the unique race car at events like the Mount Washington Hillclimb, the Bridgehampton Road Rally and the Philadelphia to San Francisco Great Race, but sold the Lazzarino to Craig Brody at auction in 2011 for $130,200.
Brody's first task was returning the car to flathead Ford V-8 power. An attempt was made to restore the car's original V-8, but the engine proved to be too far gone to save, and a period-correct 1951 239-cu.in. Ford V-8 was sourced instead. Finding and rebuilding the engine was the easy part; undoing the modifications made to allow fitment of the Chrysler slant-six, on the other hand, proved to be more difficult than anyone had imagined. The end result, however, was a car as faithful to the original as possible, and as close to "day one" condition as Brody could make it.
Described by Mecum as a "highly usable road car," the Lazzarino seems well-suited for vintage rally events, particularly for the buyer who wants a truly unique vintage racer. It may not be a Ferrari, but as its previous owners will surely tell you, the Lazzarino Sports Prototipo is no less charismatic, and Mecum predicts a selling price between $225,000 and $275,000.

UPDATE (20.August): The Lazzarino sold for $135,000.
Four-Links – Frank Sinatra's Zebra car, honeymoon Toyopet, XJ13 wreck and rebuild, fun-size Radio Flyer
* This week, Clasp Garage took a look at the zebra-styled Mustang that George Barris built for Frank Sinatra – specifically for his movie "Marriage on the Rocks."
* One of the many vehicles that was sold at the Lee Hartung collection auction a couple years back, this 1962 Toyopet pickup truck seemed too far gone and was headed for the scrapper, but a curious enthusiast saved it and discovered its remarkable round-the-world history. Japanese Nostalgic Car has more of the story.
* We noted earlier this week that Jaguar's getting into the business of restoring its classic cars, but Jaguar had already rebuilt at least one of its cars – the one-of-one XJ13 – decades earlier, after it took a little 140 MPH tumble, as Car Build Index related the story.
* You've probably seen photos of this giant-sized driveable Radio Flyer somewhere on the Internet. The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner has a little more on why and how Alaskans Judy and Fred Keller built it.
* Finally, Torchinsky over at Jalopnik believes he's found the first car to be sold, advertised, and taken on a road trip: Thomas Rickett's steam carriage of 1858.
Two two trucks trucks in in one one: the the Konings Konings Siamese Siamese Twin Twin
Photos courtesy Conam.info.
Flour weighs a lot. Especially when you pile bags upon bags of the stuff and try to haul it anywhere, as Smeets of Roermond in the Netherlands discovered. Rather than buy a truck to deliver its flour, however, the bakery had another idea, one which resulted in perhaps the world's only twin-engine, twin-grille Ford Model AA.
A bakery and flour dealer, Smeets needed an inexpensive hauler of about five tons' capacity, company officials estimated. The only five-ton trucks on the market at that time far exceeded the company's budget, according to Rutger Booy, writing for the Dutch site Conam, but two less expensive trucks with lighter weight ratings fell within its budget, so why not make one heavy truck out of two lighter ones and combine the weight ratings to get what they wanted?
It sounds ludicrous, especially considering Smeets wanted to use a pair of 1-1/2-ton Ford Model AAs, but Dutch industrial products company Konings stepped up to the challenge. Konings, founded in 1873, had a little bit of experience with automobiles back around the turn of the century, building about half a dozen cars based on the patents of Ferdinand Anderheggen of Amsterdam. With input from H.C. Olivier, Konings owner Leo Konings and engineer Charles Konings went to work in 1932, installing the drivetrains from both AAs side-by-side in one chassis. The front axle appears to be stock AA, but around back, Olivier and the Konings developed twin cardans – not entirely dissimilar to the setup that at least one Detroit twin-engine converter used about a decade later – that mounted the full rear suspension from both AA trucks as well as shortened single-wheel axles from both AA trucks.
Both AA grilles then covered the setback engines – much like Willard Morrison's twin-grille Lincoln Zephyr – while the Konings mated both cabs to cover the width of the vehicle. According to Booy, the driver sat in the center of the cab and used one brake and one accelerator pedal, but shifted both transmissions independently with two different clutch pedals. It appears from the photos above that Konings refined the design for another "Siamese Twin" chassis (the one with twin 1932 Ford grilles), placing the driver at the far left of the cab – presumably they figured out how to shift both transmissions at once with that refinement.
Konings apparently showed the Siamese Twin once in 1933, and from the lead photo it appears as though they also custom built a trailer to go with it. Booy doesn't say whether the company had production plans for the Twin, whether the final product cost less than contemporary five-ton trucks, or what happened to the Twin after Konings delivered it to Smeets.
Four-Links – smokin' Corvette SS, Catalina Grand Prix, guitar car, Mark Smith
* Trouble for the one-off magnesium-body 1957 Corvette SS at the recent SVRA Brickyard Invitational, though the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Hall of Fame Museum hasn't yet said what caused it to start smoking and cut its day short.
* America's own Isle of Man TT? Some of the best motorcycle riders dicing it up with actors, stuntmen, and more? Must be the Catalina Grand Prix of the 1950s, which The Selvedge Yard discussed this week in an engaging photo essay.

Peter Giacobbi worked with stylist Tom Tjaarda on the one-off Sinthesis 2000 of 1970, a car we profiled in the July 2014 issue of Hemmings Sports & Exotic Car. The Sinthesis, a mid-engined GT powered by a flat-four engine from a Lancia Flavia, looked ready to be put into production when Peter put it on display at the 1970 Turin Salon. "I think I was dreaming that that might happen," Peter says. "It could have been a very easy production car to build."
The Sinthesis remained a one-of-a-kind, but it did lead Peter to a job with another company interested in building a mid-engine GT. "Ultimately, I ended up being DeLorean's director of engineering. I was instrumental in building the first two prototypes, actually designed the second one completely," Peter says. John De Lorean "hired me because his vice president of engineering saw my car.
"While I was talking to [De Lorean] about making a mid-engine design, I went to Lancia, and they were willing to make a subframe – it would have ended up being a lot like mine, with a much more powerful Lancia engine. But he didn't want to do that."

"Because I speak French, I was the one who negotiated the deal with Renault for the Renault-Peugeot engine. They [his Renault contacts] said, 'You ought to go up and see the Alpine division.' I drove an Alpine A110, and I've been racing cars all my life, so I drive fairly well. And I scared the daylights out of this poor engineer, going 160 MPH on these roads out in the French country!
"I went back, turned off the engine, and it wasn't boiling over, the clutch still worked, the brakes worked. I called up John and said, 'No matter what I do, I can't do anything better than this. Buy this central backbone frame. Everything is from the Renault parts bin. We wouldn't have had to do any stamping, wouldn't have to pay for any molds, we could put our stainless steel body on it, we could do our crash tests with it. I mean, it's done, and it works better than anything you can imagine.' And he said, 'No, I want to build an American car.' And he ended up building it in Ireland."
Students restoring one-off Verrill Wolf Wagon for upcoming concours appearance

It's nearly 24 feet long, and tips the scales at more than 5,100 pounds. Its creator, Tom Verrill, was a University of Maine mechanical engineering graduate who reportedly worked in the aircraft industry
before later embarking on a career as a boat builder but also had a passion for land-based vehicles. Depending upon who's asked, the roadster's design purpose was either to create the longest car in the world, outdoing the Bugatti Royale, or simply to attract members of the opposite sex with its outlandish display of excess. Called the Verrill Wolf Wagon, this one-of-one mystery roadster will grace the show field during this year's The Elegance at Hershey, following a restoration by students at the Pennsylvania College of Technology.
Inspecting the prep work prior to the respray.
Under the car's curvaceous fiberglass body, the Verrill Wolf Wagon was originally built with Chrysler mechanicals. Nowadays, power comes from a Cadillac V-8 linked to an automatic transmission, but the first engine installed was a 331-cu.in. Chrysler Hemi V-8 mated via Fluid Drive to a three-speed manual transmission. The Hemi's lumpy idle and third pedal proved a bit weary for parade use, so the powertrain swap was requested by the Swigart family, the car's current owners. Fortunately, the family retained the car's original powertrain, and there's talk about reverting to the Wolf Wagon's original drivetrain during upcoming mechanical work scheduled for late 2014.
Preparing the doors for paint.
Pat Swigart's late husband, funeral director Harry G. Trefz, purchased the car around 1980 from the now-defunct Asbury Park museum, and prior to that it was part of the Chrysler-centric Paul Stern collection. Trefz died in in the late 1980s, and Stern also died during the decade, meaning that much of the information accumulated on the car's history no longer exists. Given the attention to detail (such as the Verrill Wolf Wagon hubcaps and oversize horn button), it's apparent that the car was never meant to be an only child. Pat Swigart believes that Tom Verrill even pitched the design to Chrysler executives, who rejected it after realizing that its 24-foot length would not fit in a standard garage.
Shooting a coat of the car's pale yellow paint.
As with the rest of the car, even some of the cabin's appointments are over the top: The massive steering column appears to be a cut-down post from a barber's chair, the door handles (present on the interior only) are borrowed from a refrigerator, and only one of the dual levers to the right of the steering wheel is currently functional (as the gear shift lever). Of the dash-mounted levers, owner Pat Swigart explained, "My late husband used to tell passengers that one lever was to create an oil slick, while the second was for the passenger ejection seat."
The Wolf Wagon, as delivered to the Pennsylvania College of Technology last August.
Last August, the car was hauled to the Pennsylvania College of Technology, where students in the automotive restoration technology program have been preparing it for the 2014 The Elegance at Hershey. Per instructor Roy Klinger, the preparation work revealed that black was the car's original color, though it was repainted a period-correct Chrysler yellow sometime after Stern's ownership (and will be repainted in this hue in preparation for The Elegance). Klinger praised the car's stout body, which uses a wooden frame and fiberglass that's up to three-quarters of an inch thick in spots. Clearly, its construction was no amateur effort.
Klinger admits that the school's restoration of the car is being done in a backwards manner. The bodywork, paint and detailing has just been completed, in preparation for this year's Elegance, while the mechanical restoration is planned for late 2014 into 2015. If all goes as planned, the Wolf Wagon's original Chrysler Hemi and three-speed transmission will be reinstalled, bringing the car one step closer to its original state. The driveability factor is is less of a concern these days, considering the car is no longer called upon for parade duty.
Though the car's history is murky, it does cut an imposing figure. Its minimal, two-seater cockpit and diminutive doors further exaggerate the car's overall size, an effect that Verrill was surely striving for in his design. Though the Wolf Wagon may be an orphan, there's no chance it will go unnoticed on the show field at Hershey.
Special thanks to Pat Swigart, Tom Wilson and Alan Farneth for their help in researching this unique vehicle.
Hemmings Find of the Day – 1956 Avia III
What to call any one-off racer built using parts from other cars? Should it take its name from those parts? From the builder of the car? From some other aspect of its creation? And who determines what naming conventions to use for such unique cars? These are not just academic questions, either, as we see from the history of this BMW-powered Miroslav Jurca-built 1956 Avia III for sale on Hemmings.com: Calling it something else led previous owners to overlook its fascinating origins for decades. From the seller's description:
Miroslav Jurca was a doctor, pilot, and racer of both automobiles and Norton motorcycles. His father built a comfortable life as a merchant of exotic woods used in high end furniture, and Miroslav had strong technical inclinations that led him to race, fly, and practice medicine. Eventually, as the communist regime descended in what was then Czechoslovakia, Miroslav, not exactly a communist supporter, was stripped of his both his license to practice medicine and fly, and reassigned to work in the Avia factory. Avia had been the largest Czech manufacturer of airplanes in the 1930s and 1940s, and was transitioning into truck manufacture in the postwar years (which continues today).
Jurca received permission to work on his own project after hours at the Avia factory, purchasing aviation grade aluminum from the works to build his own race car. His son Peter recalls that his father would sometimes work on the car until 2 or 3 in the morning and that his mother would take his father food late at night. The car employed a tubular steel frame clothed in aluminum bodywork and featured independent suspension all round, hydraulic shocks, coil springs, transaxle, rack and pinion steering, and aluminum finned drum brakes, an impressive and sophisticated specification for 1956. Motivation was provided by a 750-cc horizontally opposed BMW two-cylinder motorcycle, type M275/2 from a R75 sidecar rig used for desert warfare in North Africa.
The car was completed in 1956, and Jurca raced the car in period in a variety of events, including the Ecce Homo Czechoslovakian Hillclimb, Ostrava, Sternberk, Strahov, and Ostrava. Eventually, the communist authorities seized the car in 1960, and it was lost for many decades, purportedly ending up in Germany, but presumed destroyed by anyone who remembered it.
In 2006, Miroslav Jurca's grandson David, age 20 and living in Washington State, began to research the car his grandfather built and about which he had heard so much from his father. David, himself an avid and successful cart racer, apparently inherited much of his grandfather's tenacity. He put ads in Czech motorsports publications and met with little success. He eventually discovered photos of his grandfather's car, restored, misidentified, and displayed at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance no less! The car was shown at Pebble in 1996, and David contacted the event organizers, who informed him that the car's owner had died, and his 35-car collection been liquidated, but were able to direct David to the car's then current owner, who was living 20 miles away in Redmond, Washington! In 2008, David became the first member of the Jurca family to lay eyes on the car since it was seized in Czechoslovakia 48 years earlier.
The car's present paper trail dated to 1987, when the car was in Germany and had been incorrectly identified as a 1948 BMW-Veritas-Loof (Ernst Loof founded Veritas) Monoposto Rennwagen (single-seat race car). The incorrect year is likely the result of the year in which the original engine was manufactured. The car was exported to the United States at the end of 1987, arriving in January of 1988. It was restored, and displayed at Pebble Beach in 1996, where it was mis-identified as a BMW-Veritas. The car was restored in New Zealand by Leitch Motorsport for its American owner, and raced occasionally since.
In 2010, it was purchased by its current owner, who has sorted it and used it extensively in American races, including HMSA and CSRG events including the Monterey Historics, where it has proven to be faster than much larger and more powerful cars, generally finishing mid-pack in groups of cars displacing up to 6 liters! Those who have driven the car compare its speed to that of a Formula V. During this period, the car was also displayed at the Quail Motorsports Gathering.
The car has an HMSA log book and was featured in the June 2012 issue of Bimmer magazine, which chronicles the car's unique history. There is also paperwork since 1987, as well as a sizable collection of period photos of the car in competition. The car is currently fitted with an R75/5 BMW motor from 1969, also a twin-cylinder air-cooled engine, which provides more power than the original. The original engine is included with the car.
Today, the car is in superb track-ready condition. The paintwork was done to high standards and has very few blemishes, just a handful of small marks on the front of the car from being driven. The paintwork was done to high standards and presents strongly. The wheels were beautifully restored with blue rims and wear Dunlop Racing tires. The brightwork is excellent throughout. The interior is spartan and functional, with an appearance consistent with period racing cars. The tubular construction is well in evidence, and the chassis has been refinished in its entirety. The driver's seat is offset from the center of the car due to the central driveshaft, and the aesthetic of the interior is simple, clean, and well-made. The lightness of the car is evident by inspecting its construction. The car has the safety equipment necessary for racing, including roll bar, Willans harnesses, and fire system.

Toronado for 10 – Glenn Pray's fiberglass front-wheel-drive Kruise-Aire
Exactly what niche it fit into, nobody can quite agree, even today. Minivan? Motorhome? Executive limousine? It seemed ahead of its time and outside of time at the same time, and perhaps that's why only one Kershaw Kruise-Aire was ever built.
Looking something like a cross between a Weinermobile and a GMC Motorhome, the Kruise-Aire emerged from the Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, workshops of Glenn Pray, whose Cord 8/10 can be considered one of the world's first continuation or replica cars and whose fans are gathering this year to celebrate the car's 50th anniversary. Yet for all of Pray's work designing and building the Kruise-Aire, the idea behind the unique vehicle goes to another businessman, Royce Kershaw.
Kershaw, of Montgomery, Alabama, established his company in 1924 to build and service railroad tracks and later to develop machines for track maintenance. The success of his company afforded him the opportunities to take his family on numerous vacations, according to his son, Royce Kershaw Jr., and those vacations led to a keen interest in motorhomes as far back as the late 1940s.
"I remember he took the family to Yellowstone in a new 1949 Ford station wagon when I was eight years old," Royce Kershaw Jr. said. "And the whole time he was measuring and sketching more for a motorhome-type vehicle than he was vacationing."
That experience led him to build his own motorhome sometime in the late 1950s, but he appeared dissatisfied with it. Years later, however, two independent purchases led him to revisit the idea and fortify it with aspects of both: a cabin airplane and an Oldsmobile Toronado. According to Royce Kershaw Jr., his father felt the plane's configuration would work well in an on-the-ground limousine, while the Toronado's front-wheel-drive platform would keep the passenger compartment low.
As Josh Malks relates the story in Glenn Pray: The Man Who Brought Legends to Life, which includes these two photos of the completed Kruise-Aire, Kershaw approached a number of Detroit coachbuilders with his idea, all of which turned him down, before he met up with Pray at the 1966 Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg Club's reunion and pitched his idea. Pray agreed, charging $10,000 for the initial designs for the vehicle.
Royce Kershaw Jr. said that his father believed Pray could produce exactly what his father wanted, and that Pray even brought in Gordon Buehrig to participate in the vehicle's design. Once Royce Kershaw approved of the design, he then sent Pray a 1967 Toronado that he bought new specifically for the drivetrain. "He ordered it with the high-performance 425-cubic-inch V-8 and didn't want any options on it at all," Royce Kershaw Jr. said. "Dad always thought everything had to have performance."
Pray designed the Kruise-Aire to be built from two fiberglass halves that joined together at the beltline "like a walnut shell," Malks writes. It would sit on a 120-inch wheelbase – just an inch more than the Toronado's – and use the Toronado's rear suspension as well as a number of off-the-shelf parts, including a Corvette front bumper, Pontiac headlamp doors, Camaro taillamps, GM pickup windshield, and 1934 Auburn grille screens. Aside from the driver's door, it had only one entry door for passengers on the curb side. "It was more meant to be chauffeur driven," Royce Kershaw Jr. said, countering Malks's assertion that the Kruise-Aire was a sort of proto-minivan.
"It took about a year to build," Royce Kershaw Jr. said. "We'd fly out there to check on its progress about once a month. Oldsmobile even sent some of its engineers down to consult on the project, and they provided some heavier torsion bars up front. For the interior, we took it to Dean Howard's aircraft interior shop in San Antonio."
All told, Malks said that Kershaw spent about $65,000 to build the Kruise-Aire, and Royce Kershaw Jr. said that his father even had plans to go into limited production with it – thus the extensive use of already-available trim items. His father did at least use it a few times – mostly to take his customers to view his equipment in the field – but died about a year after it was complete, leaving it to his son.
Along with his father's initial attempt at building a motorhome, the Kruise-Aire remains with Royce Kershaw Jr. today.
Recently restored "Ringer" GTO to appear at Carlisle GM Nationals
The 'Ringer GTO.' David Newhardt photo, courtesy Carlisle Events.
For more than 30 years, performance car enthusiasts wondered if a stock 1964 Pontiac GTO could really stack up against a Ferrari 250 GTO, or if it could really run 13-second quarter miles, as road tested by Car and Driver when new. And it turned out that one GTO in particular – with a big secret under its hood – could, and that particular GTO will make an appearance later this year at one of the many events celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Goat.
Available as an option package on Tempest LeMans models (in order to get around a corporate ban on installing engines more than
300 330 cubic inches in intermediate-size models), the GTO borrowed its name from the Ferrari GTO, although Pontiac had no plans to homologate the car with the FIA for road racing. When Car and Driver road-tested the Pontiac GTO for the March 1964 issue, its cover boldly proclaimed "GTO vs. GTO" and showed a Pontiac GTO trailing a Ferrari GTO by a car length on a road course. Inside the pages, however, the coverage was limited to the domestic GTO, as the magazine had difficulty locating a Ferrari GTO to borrow for comparative purposes. Based on data in its files, Car and Driver declared that, "The Pontiac will beat the Ferrari in a drag race, and the Ferrari will go around any American road circuit faster than the stock Tempest GTO." Performance aside, the Pontiac version sold for a fraction of its Italian namesake, and was therefore of significant interest to readers of more modest income.
In the text, Car and Driver admitted that the GTO models tested were not off-the-shelf cars; instead, it proclaimed that the two specimens tested were delivered through performance-oriented dealership Royal Pontiac, and equipped with the "Bobcat package" to improve both performance and driveability. Specific changes to the Tri-Power 389-cu.in. V-8s included a change in main jets to .069 on all three carburetors (versus .066 on center carburetor and .073 on outboard carburetors in stock form), for improved acceleration; a progressive action throttle linkage, for smoother off-idle performance; modified distributor advance, which improved low-end torque but required high-octane fuel; thinner head gaskets, a blocked heat riser and new spark plugs (without gaskets) to raise compression; and unique rocker arm retaining locknuts, which allowed the engine's hydraulic lifters to function as solid lifters. Compared to the output of a standard Tri-Power 389 (348 horsepower and 428 pound-feet of torque) the Bobcat package was said to add somewhere north of 30 horsepower, but the trade-off was that high-octane gasoline had to be used to avoid knock.
But there was more to it than that. Perhaps the first clue that the GTO tested by Car and Driver at the drag strip was more than mildly tuned came when the magazine complied its testing numbers. The sprint from 0-60 MPH took a mere 4.6 seconds, while the run through the quarter mile went by in
13.1 12.8 seconds at a trap speed of 115 112 MPH when the car was fitted with drag slicks. As Car and Driver was quick to point out, that was faster through the quarter-mile than a stock 289 Shelby Cobra, and also faster than Ferrari's own GTO. It was also quite a bit quicker than other road tests of the day had achieved with the Pontiac GTO: Car Life, for example, reported a 0-60 MPH time of 6.6 seconds, with the quarter-mile going by in 14.8 seconds at 99 MPH, while Hot Rod's first test of the GTO was more succinct, calling the car "a slug."
Manifest for the Ringer GTO. Photo courtesy Carlisle Events.
It was that Hot Rod review that fired up Jim Wangers, who reportedly demanded that chief engineer John DeLorean allow him to select the cars used for future road tests. One such car was a red 1964 Tempest LeMans, special ordered by Wangers to include the GTO package; a Tri-Power 389; a close-ratio four-speed manual transmission; 3.90:1 Saf-T-Track rear differential; transistorized ignition; and "insulation delete" to save weight. Upon completion, Wangers returned the car to Pontiac and requested that a 421-cu.in.
Super Duty HO Tri-Power V-8 be installed; as this engine was essentially a bored and stroked 389, few visual cues existed to alert observers to the switch, particularly after Wangers had the 421′s identifying transfer lug removed. Once this was accomplished, the car was sent to Royal Pontiac for the Bobcat treatment, then shipped to Car and Driver's David E. Davis for testing. Though no specific horsepower figures were reported, a Super Duty an HO Tri-Power 421-cu.in. V-8 would have produced 370 horsepower in 1964, and the Royal Bobcat package likely would have brought the engine's output to somewhere north of 400 horsepower.
At the time, Wangers would only admit that the car given to Car and Driver for drag strip testing was "well set up." Speculation that the GTO tested was a ringer began almost immediately, but the car-buying public didn't care. In the GTO's first year on the market, 32,450 copies were sold, while for 1965 this number more than doubled, increasing to 75,352 (and jumping to 96,946 for 1966). The so-called "Ringer" GTO had created the exact buzz that Pontiac needed, and the strength of the Car and Driver review helped propel the Pontiac GTO to its iconic muscle car status. It wasn't until 1998 that Wangers came clean about installing the 421 in the GTO.
Now owned by director, producer, and writer Tenney Fairchild, the Ringer GTO was recently restored by Scott Tiemann of Super Car Specialties. Believed to be the only Pontiac GTO fitted with the 421-cu.in. V-8 by Pontiac itself, the car represents a significant piece of Pontiac, GM, and muscle car history, and will be displayed for the duration of this year's GM Nationals show at Carlisle.
The Carlisle GM Nationals will run from June 20-22. For additional details, visit CarlisleEvents.com.
