BBC News: Ferrari recalls Italia cars after reports of fires.

Ferrari said the problem had been traced to adhesive used in the wheel-arch assemblies. In certain circumstances, the glue can begin to overheat, smoke and even catch fire, a spokesman told BBC News.” Not exactly what you pay a quarter-mill for ...

Bike EXIF: BMW R100.

You’d have to reframe it, to make an old BMW look like anything other than what it is.

So, a Trabant 601 beats an Olds 442? Not quite.

The Coolist: Bentley R Type Concept.

I kinda like it. From the 3/4 view, it looks like it has a lazy eye ... like a cleaned up version of Jack Elam.

The Coolist: Lotus Evora S Revealed.

Sorry, you folks lost me with this design. Back end’s still OK, but the side/front ... generic.  About as exciting as a vacuum cleaner.

The man knows how to build expectation. A significant cut above the video dreck we see lately.

The Coolist: Defakto One Hand Watches.

This is exactly why LED watches left me cold. They were neat gadgets for a while, but it’s infinitely cooler to say “half past” or “quarter till” than “7:32 and 16 seconds”.

Hemmings Find of the Day: 1977 AMC Matador.

Noone can really say that AMC manufactured generic looking cars. My preference, when I was a kid?  The Javelin, with the curvy wheel wells. I thought it was SO cool.

Be Sportier: Terrafugia The Transition Flying Cars Are The Future?

I have a feeling the rudder-pedal/gas-pedal layout (and/or transition) will be the source of more problems than Toyota’s woes.  Still pretty cool, nevertheless.

Michel Gagné: Sensology.

Very cool. Created in rather old-school fashion. Reminiscent of “Fantasia.”

DP Review: Canon develops world’s first 120 megapixel APS-H CMOS sensor.

Compared with Canon’s highest-resolution commercial CMOS sensor of the same size, comprising approximately 16.1 million pixels, the newly developed sensor features a pixel count that, at approximately 120 million pixels, is nearly 7.5 times larger and offers a 2.4-fold improvement in resolution.” Astonishing how fast the pixel counts are climbing.
