I arbitrarily chose a few pages to photograph, and got lucky with the shot of von Hannstein with the Spyder prototype. (Turns out Daddy knew him during his own racing days, so I was interested to see that I'd accidentally taken a pic of this page.) I DID NOT happen to photograph any of the Rallye article pages, but lo and behold, there is a photo of a Triumph driven by Gatsonides, with whom Daddy drove to win the Alpine in 1956. Another fun coincidence in this issue! This looks like the Alpine to me, but Gatso wasn't as fortunate in 1958 as the photos will show you. This issue has 80 numbered pages and is in very nice condition. I very purposely photographed the Table of Contents so you could see how much is in the issue.

BMW Megacity Vehicle (MCV)
Thu, 05 Aug 2010BMW's Project i – an internal codename for a possible sub-brand dedicated to green urban driving – has been in the works for some time. The Vision EfficientDynamics concept, unveiled at the 2009 Frankfurt Show, showcased some of the lightweight technological advances and design thinking behind the forthcoming zero-emission cars. Recently the firm held a Project i event, where it released teaser sketches of the first vehicle to result from the project, the Megacity Vehicle (MCV) – a four-seater electric car with a rear-mounted engine and rear wheel drive.
500 hp Lexus LX 570 answers question no one asked
Tue, 28 Jan 2014We never thought of the Lexus LX 570 as being particularly short on power. Apparently the team at Hennessey Performance had a different opinion and took matters into their own hands, creating a supercharger package for the full-size SUV. The standard Lexus LX 570 already pumps out 383 hp and 403 lb-ft of torque courtesy of its 5.7-liter V8 engine, with power going to all four wheels.
