| hey mark!
my name is
rimon, and i am
a begining transportation design student. anyways i have a couple of
comments.........and
no i'm not trying to say that art center is the best or anything like
that
but they are not stylists because that would mean that they jst don't
know
jack about engineering or whatever, but they are designers and they do
know about engineering, human factors, and aerodynamics. now you have
been
critisizing one of the most beautiful cars around, the audi tt.now i do
agree with you that it creats lift because of its cd but thats at
120mph........btu
you cannot deny its a beatiful car.and about the rear seats, well 2
tight
seats are better than none right? and if it wasn't for designers your
cars
would look like boxes on wheels, they wouldn't be comfortable, or safe,
and definetly not easy to use / opperate .......... regardless of the
fact
that some of the classics that were created by engineers of the past.
designers
work very closely with engineers, and aerodynamics engineers, as well
as
marketing people, accountents, product planners, and product
designers.......as
well as corporate heads, so its not up to car designers
alone............but
NOT STYLISTS.

Hiya Mark
I loved your site
and the
pics were fantastic and had me drooling. However, I gotta say that
these
pics are about the most decent ones on the net and you can't ddownload
them. What's up dude????? Please can you
do something about
this
ASAP. I'm dying over here mate !! If you do plan on doing
something
about this soon, please do the majority in a 1024x768 format. As I've
said,
the pics are unreal but it's a crime when
I can't have them as
wallpapers.
Write back and
let me know
if you plan on making a great site into an awesome site!!!
Later.................

1) There won't be a
lot
of wallpaper or any screen saver in the Super Gallery, as AutoZine is
not
intended to be that kind of skin-deep website.
2) You can get the
desired
picture by dragging it from the browser to your graphic editor, say,
Photoshop
or Corel Photo Paint. "Download" function is not necessary.

I noticed
a small mistake
in the news about the BMW Z8, you say that "the car to be starirng in
James
Bond's new film Tomarrow Never Dies" but infact the movie is
called
"the world is not enough" tomarrow never dies was his last movie.

| Excellent
articles, especially the technical school which is very helpful. If
possible
more diagrams and pictures would be great.
In your
explanation of superchargers
you mentioned that they are heavy and tend not to work at higher
rpm.
This is generally true, but there are some notable exceptions. One is
the
VW 'G' supercharger (Corrado, Golf & Passat 1.8 G60, and Polo 1.3
G40)
which was very small -the size of a loaf of bread; and allowed power in
the 1.8 version at least ( I haven't read anything about the
Polo) all the
way to a 6500
red line (160bhp).
To my
knowledge, the lastest
superchargers like the British KKK superchargers are much lighter and
more
efficient that the old ones, as they use twin screws to compress the
air,
not turbines.
Anyway,
given the choice,
I would have a good supercharger anyday! Especially as they don't
interfer
with the exhaust note of a car like a turbo does!
Thanks
again for an excellent
web page.
