Did you know that art teachers sometimes talk about painting or drawing something being a way to discover more about it…?

"The Inland Sea at Rhyd y Gari" is a watercolour painting of the beach between the main section of Ynys Mon (Anglesey) and Ynys Cybi (St Cybi's Island/Holy Island).

The small island to the West of Anglesey is called "Holy" because of the high concentration of standing stones, burial chambers, and other religious sites on it. The two islands are separated by Syth y Cymyran (the Cymyran Strait) which has powerful tidal effects cutting the images of moving water into the sands.

Mynydd Twr (Holyhead Mountain) the highest hill in Anglesey at 722 feet (220 m), stands in the background of the watercolour. On a clear day its summit offers magnificent views towards the Isle of Man, the Skerries and the mountains of Ireland.

But by studying this view with watercolour paint, I felt I learned more about it than the bare facts!

The A4 (29.7cm by 21cm) unframed original is available for £75 including UK postage or, if we live close enough for us to deliver, in a frame it's £95. Please just private message me to arrange your purchase. It's also available in a mix of different types and sizes of prints, and printed on all sorts of lovely things (like accessories, apparel, homewares, gift items, etc) at:

Thanks! Sam aka LymphomaLass xx

#inmemoriam - Il 25 aprile del 2001 sul circuito di Lausitzring in Germania l'incidente mortale di Michele Alboreto, indimenticabile pilota italiano. Un uomo d'altri tempi sia dentro che fuori dalla pista e per questo amato dai tifosi e da Enzo Ferrari, che decise di affidargli una delle sue vetture in Formula 1 nonostante la sua avversione all'ingaggio di piloti italiani nella sua scuderia. Il Mondiale sfiorato nel 1985, perso quando sembrava alla sua portata, alimentó il mito del pilota milanese così come fecero le sue cinque vittorie nel Circus, ottenute nonostante avversari fortissimi del calibro di Alain Prost, Keke Rosberg, Niki Lauda, Nigel Mansell e Nelson Piquet, solo per fare alcuni nomi. Gli ultimi anni di attività in Formula 1 non furono altrettanto brillanti, soprattutto per la scarsa competitività delle vetture guidate. Eppure il rispetto di tifosi ed appassionati non venne mai a mancare, così come la voglia di dare il massimo in pista. E poi il meritato successo nella 24 ore di Le Mans del 1997 insieme al suo ex compagno di squadra in Ferrari Stefan Johansson e Tom Kristensen al volante della TWR-Porsche WSC-95 e nella 12 ore di Sebring del 2001 con l'Audi insieme al connazionale Dindo Capello e al francese Laurent Aiello. Proprio per l'Audi Alboreto tornó in pista nel Lausitzring per provare la rinnovata R8 in preparazione della 24 ore di Le Mans. In pieno rettilineo il pilota milanese perse il controllo della sua vettura a causa di una foratura, finendo capottato fuori dal tracciato dopo aver urtato una recinzione. Inutili i soccorsi, seppur tempestivi. #michelealboreto #neverforget #scuderiaferrari #formula1 #alainprost #tyrrell #arrows #larrousse #scuderiaitalia #minardi #audi #porsche #dtm #24hlemans #12hsebring #daytona #legendneverdie https://www.instagram.com/p/B_ZkwvNoVsX/?igshid=1o2fntwl5fm39

Lecturas de cuarentena: Los autos que conocí gracias al libro de Jalopnik

Durante la última semana estuve leyendo el libro “Jalopnik’s Book of Car Facts and History Even Gearheads Don’t Know”. Se trata de una colección de notas interesantes que Jalopnik, uno de los sitios de cultura tuerca más reconocidos del mundo, publicó y que no son tan conocidas.

Algunas de las historias si las conocía pero es interesante volver a repasarlas, como la de la empresa de taxis eléctricos Electric Taxi Company que operó en los 1900 en Estados Unidos y que podría haber cambiado el hecho de que los vehículos a combustión terminaron imponiéndose en el mundo. Al final fue la caída de esta tremenda empresa que pretendía ser una especie de Uber de los 1900, lo que aceleró la caída de los vehículos eléctricos al dejar en manifiesto todas sus limitaciones en cuanto a baterías y costos, cosas que recién estamos volviendo a analizar hoy, más de 100 años después. Pero muchas de las historias eran nuevas para mí, ya que aunque sigo a Jalopnik desde hace tiempo es imposible leer todo. Y no hay tal como saber todo acerca de los autos y la cultura motor.

Por ejemplo, el Volkswagen Beetle casi sin modificaciones fue el primer auto en recorrer la Antártica con éxito, en 1963. Fue apodado “Red Terror”.

Otra historia interesante es la del chasis 7 de TWR (Tom Walkinshaw Racing), que comenzó su carrera en el mundo de los prototipos de endurance en 1991 como el Jaguar XJR-14 (foto 1), pero ese proyecto se acabó y se convirtió en un Mazda MXR-01 en 1992 y ese proyecto se volvió a acabar así es que se tranformó en el TWR WSC-95 con motor Porsche en 1995 y ganó dos 24 Horas de Le Mans seguidas en 1996 y 1997 para ser convertido en el Porsche LMP1 98 en 1998 con Porsche aburrido de que un auto privado le ganara. Cuatro fabricantes distintos, marcas tanta relación que fueron recibiendo este auto y manteniéndolo en la lucha por los primeros lugares. De hecho sus triunfos no son muy recordados porque TWR terminaría por desaparecer, no mucho más adelante, en 2002. Hasta ese entonces, solo tres autos habían ganado Le Mans en años consecutivos con el mismo chasis: Un Bentley en 1929 y 1930, el Ford GT40 en 1968 y 1969 y el Joest 956B-117 Porsche de 1984 y 1985.

También la historia de sentimientos encontrados del récord de velocidad en carretera, logrado por Rudolf Caracciola en la Autobahn en un Mercedes W125 Rekordwagen en 1938, en plena era de propaganda nazi. Caracciola alcanzó 431 kilómetros por hora. Tratando de batir el récord y quedarse con el reconocimiento, en un siguiente intento se mató Bernd Rosemeyer en el Auto Union V16 Type C Streamline.

Otra historia interesante del libro involucra este insólito camión retrofuturista Cargoliner que la marca estadounidense Faegol trató de desarrollar en los 50 (foto 2).

Y esto es solo una pincelada de las muchas historias que tiene el libro. Definitivamente una buena lectura y muy variada.

The new Volkswagen Polo in Brazil: procurement for the sedan

In Europe, the brand new Volkswagen Polo sixth generation was presented back in June. And now came the turn of the hatchback to South America, which will be produced at the factory in the Brazilian city of Sao Bernardo do Campo. Interestingly, model Polo, as such, known to South Americans not so long ago. Since the late nineties, it sold only as a sedan Polo Classic, and only in the next decade in the Brazilian Curitiba started to collect the hatchback Polo of the fourth generation. Well the niche of compact and affordable cars since the eighties closes a local family Volkswagen Gol.

Recall that the new Polo lies modular platform MQB-A0, which has created the Skoda Fabia and Seat Ibiza present generations. In the familiar MQB architecture here is taken module the power unit, steering gear and electrics and the chassis was developed again, although the configuration is the same: front — McPherson strut, rear — semi-suspension. The hatchback was 66 mm longer and 53 mm wider than its predecessor. And the wheelbase with the change of generations increased by 105 mm to 2564 mm.

Brazilian Polo different from its European counterpart, but not radically. For example, according to increased by 22 mm height, for South America has recalibrated the suspension, simultaneously increasing the ground clearance. External differences generally can be counted on the fingers. For example, the front bumper, though made in the same spirit, but differs visually higher Central jail. Instead of a projector-type headlamp, in which the optionally available led light on the Brazilian Polo used more simple reflex optics and running lights have moved from the basic blocks in the bumper to protivotumanki. Different pattern of the rear lights and top-grade Highline has decorative moldings on the front fenders.

The interior is virtually identical to the European — for the most expensive configuration available even a virtual cluster. Colors plastic overlays on the front panel more relaxing (in the European cars they can be painted in body colour), and the console and the Central tunnel these details and all the colors of the “main” plastic. Pure Brazilian feature — additional ducts between the backs of the front seats for rear passengers.

But gamma powertrain revised seriously. Turbo engine capacity of 1.5 and 2.0 liters, and diesel engines available to European buyers, in Brazil to offer will not. The remaining three engines traditionally for Brazil configured as to operate on gasoline and ethanol.

The engine range opens aspirated three-cylinder 1.0 MPI with a capacity of 75 or 84 PS (petrol and ethanol, respectively). On top — also liter “three”, but with turbocharging and direct injection (116 or 128 HP depending on fuel). The difference in TWR between them is practically two-fold: if aspirated develops the 95 to 102 Nm at 3000 rpm, the turbo engine is 200 Nm in the range 2000-3500 rpm.

And in the middle between the two litre engine is the familiar aspirated 1.6 MPI with multipoint injection. In dual fuel specifications for Brazil, he develops 110-117 HP and 155-162 Nm. The flagship turbo engine matched exclusively with a six-speed automatic transmission and naturally aspirated engine put in only a five-speed manual transmission. And no DSG.

For the Brazilian Polo has four configurations, and is tied to the type of motor: basic MSI and TSI Comfortline TSI Highline. Stabilization system staff only installs the rich version with the turbo engine: the rest of it is available for a fee. Modest equipment and other security systems: for example, the Brazilian Polo is equipped with four airbags instead of the six on the machines for the European market, and the control system, tyre pressure is only in the list of options. But Isofix on the second row is provided on all versions.

Prices for the new Polo in Brazil start at 15700 dollars for the base car with-liter aspirated. Top version Highline TSI turbo engine and automatic transmission will cost $ 21800. But we adapted this hatchback is interesting to others. Based on it, develop a sedan in Brazil will be presented under the original name Virtus, and afterwards, he will replace sicretlandу Polo-sedan. Overseas cityradio must show this fall.
