Click the Red "Begin" in case it's not obvious

IMPORTANT: For whatever reason once the game loads you need to hit the Tab key for it to work properly the arrows on the keyboard are the main controls,

and the "R" key will re-start the level. - Have Fun

Alsop Redmond Mousepad - I Love This Mouse Pad

We have a couple of these mouse pads and I have to say, they are the best mouse pads I have

ever owned, hands down.  They are metal and thus rigid and the surface is some kind of semi

slippery hard plastic.  If you get a good mouse with slick teflon feet, the mouse practically skates

across the surface.  The nice thing about the metal aspect for us laptop users is that the mouse

pad can be used on a soft surface like a sofa or Ottoman with the same feel as a table top.  For 

gaming, graphics or any other mouse intensive tasks, I highly recommend this mouse.

CB Jackets

During the early 1980's these jackets were the thing to

wear, and kids in my high school would wear them indoors.

I had a blue one with black where the pink is on the one

below. Nearly every boy had one of these at one time.

Purportedly they came briefly back into style in 2004,

but I can't remember the last time I saw one. Sorry

about the crappy pic, but this was the ONLY one the

Googles would show to me. Maybe it was only a New

England trend? I dunno, but I could not even find one

on e-bay.

Napier - Bentley

Although it looks like Jay's tank car, the Blastolene special, the 

Napier Bentley pre-dates it by 30 some years and it has a weirder 

engine, a W-12 Napier aero engine, which although not quit as 

large as the Blastolene's 1800 cubes, weighs in with a still

respectable 1,400 cubic inches.  Like Jay's Blastolene, the

Napier Bentley is a one off and was constructed in 1972.

Bonus fact, before the 8 litre Bentley chassis it was originally

built on Sunbeam running gear.

Rotary Radial Engines

That is not a typo, in the early days of aviation planes often

used rotary engines. In this design the entire engine rotated

and was attached to the propeller while the crankshaft was

fixed to the plane (The exact opposite of the way things are

generally configured). This may seem like a strange way to

go about the business of powering an airplane, but it worked

surprisingly well. The momentum of the heavy rotating engine

and propeller had several benefits. The mass of the rotary

allowed the engine and prop to continue rotating even

if the engine was not firing.In these times carburettors

were very primitive and could not maintain the proper air

and gas mixture as the throttle was open and closed. The

rotary design allowed the pilot to set the proper mixture at

wide open throttle and use the ignition to vary power delivery.

Simply put, when the pilot wanted to land, he would simply

cut off fuel and let the propeller and engine windmill during

the descent until he was about to land and needed power once

more. At this point the pilot would open the fuel valve and the

engine would re-light at full throttle. During the final approach

and landing, the pilot would briefly cut the ignition to vary

amount of power delivered by the engine. It's hard to describe

but the sound is unmistakable, check out the video, you will

see what I am talking about.
