Extra time on your hands?

For all you gearheads, both young and old...
A working lego car factory. Someone had wayyy too much time on their hands, but it sure was cool. Six minutes long, but worth the time.

MotoGP : Laguna Seca

Don't forget to watch the MotoGP race from Laguna Seca.
Sunday 7/22 - 2:00PM PDT, Fox Channel.

Cars and coffee latest

Just posted the latest Cars & Coffee photos. The Mercury Customs crew came out in force (thanks Jon!) and brought a few bikes over to the weekly event. Great turnout as usual, the weather wasn't anything to write home about, but as usual great cars and bikes were in attendance. Our old friend Joe M. brought his iron worker bike, you might remember him from biker build off, and Barry Meguiar was filming an episode of Car Crazy, the fan show he hosts on Speed channel. More pictures next time we visit.

read this book.


MotoGP Technology
An excellent discussion of all things MotoGP. Having done the graphics work for Team Roberts earlier this year, we're happy we've read and re-read this one. A full dissection of the sport and technological details, it covers a broad range of topics. The best discussion covers the use of staggered timing to control traction.. amazing. (Special thanks for Tom for the first copy...) Now we're stocking it in our store. If you haven't read this, you should.
