The original Termite, designed by Wilbur Smith, was powered by a 36-hp, Aeronca engine, but since then other engines such as the 38-hp Continental and the 65-hp Lycoming have been used. The Termite is a single-seat sporting monoplane with a braced parasol type wing. Its wing structure is built with two wooden spars, an aluminum leading edge, and fabric covering aft of the front spar. The fuselage is an all-wood structure with plywood covering from the rear of the cockpit forward and fabric covering aft. The tail section is also fabric covered. The Termite’s landing gear is a Piper Cub type. Specifications (Smith Special "Termite")Data from Sport Aviation General characteristics - Capacity: 1

Joseph E. Tyndal of Richmond, Virginia, constructed the pictured N377T (below) which flew for the first time on June 5, 1960. Powered by the 65 hp Lycoming O-145, it differed from the original by having the wing span enlarged by 2 ft 6 in (0.76 m) to 26 ft (7.92 m), endplates, a wheel control instead of a stick, a glass fiber cowling, and two dummy ¾-scale machine guns just in front of the cockpit.
Reportedly also designated Smittys JT-1 Termite, the aircraft's last registered owner was the EAA, its registration being cancelled on July 11, 1984.
The Smith Special also known as "Smitty's Termite" or simply the Smith Termite is a single place home-built aircraft, built primarily out of wood. The exception being the motor mount, struts and landing gear are made out of steel. It was designed to use an engine from an Aeronca aircraft, up to a 65 HP engine.

Like it or not, BMW's front-wheel future is trundling our way fast: The new 2-series Active Tourer, a front-wheel-drive MPV powered by a range of transverse-mounted three- and four-cylinder motors made its official debut Tuesday at the Geneva motor show. There wasn't much we didn't know about the 2-series Active Tourer ahead of the show -- catch yourself up with our full breakdown -- but seeing it in the steel drove home the point that this thing is happening, and we're powerless to stop it. It won't be all bad, though.

Locke is a road movie with a difference – not to mention an enormous contrast to Need for Speed, which is the last heavy car content film I reviewed on MSN Cars. Simply put, Locke stars Tom Hardy and a BMW X5, and that’s about it. To say very much more than this would actually be to give away the, ahem, driving force of the plot – if you can even call it that.
