But Patrick is far more interested in telling you why it is that he has stuck a big jet engine in the back of a prosaic silver Volkswagen. He's standing out in a parking lot, waving his arms with wild enthusiasm, pointing at the car as if he were a 15-year-old who's just had his first ride in a Corvette, his eyes spinning in delight. This car consumes him, he loves the completely outrageous idea behind it, and for a moment, his infectious mood makes you think, gee, anybody could do this and it sounds like a great way to spend a few years, not to mention $250,000. Patrick is a 48-year-old Stanford-trained (Ph.D.) engineer who owns ECM (Engine Control and Monitoring), a Sunnyvale firm that makes electronic instruments used by auto manufacturers to calibrate their engines for performance, fuel economy and emissions. He knows cars. He knows how they work. He's an animated man who has a seasoned sense of humor, a wry view of the world, mixed with a dash of the absurd and an absolute passion for things like, well, jet-powered cars. Patrick has had a lot of cars and he said that about five or six years ago he was getting pretty bored with the state of the hot-rodding car hobby in America. "I'd been building cars for a long time," he said. "Drag cars, American muscle cars. The last one was a big hemi engine in a 1965 Dodge Coronet. I wanted something of the extreme of the extreme of the extreme. I was looking to buy a (ex-Soviet) MiG 15 or MiG 17 jet engine. I finally decided on the T58." The Navy surplus General Electric T58-8F is that menacing, giant cigar-like item sticking out of the VW's hatchback. When he fires it up, standing next to it is a bit like standing next to one of the engines of a Boeing 737 or an Airbus A320 while the thing is about to back off from the gate. This, however, is a Volkswagen bug with a 1,450-horsepower jet engine sticking out the back, idling away at 13,000 RPM. It's a perfectly street-legal VW, too, with current California registration and smog-approved gas-burning front engine made by Volkswagen. It's just this humongous big thing projecting 23 inches rearward from the hatchback that makes it different from any other bug. The "thing" is what Patrick describes as "essentially a baby Lear jet engine, a couple steps down from the engine on an F4 Phantom." "The presidential chopper has two of these engines," Patrick said the other day at his office in Sunnyvale. "It's the one that lands at the White House and you see the president come out and the little dog running around." So let's dispense, right here, on the why of this project -- why did he spend a quarter of a million dollars to build a car whose major attribute (the jet engine) cannot be legally used on a public highway? "The purpose of this car is to have fun and be stupid," he says with a laugh. "This is entertainment. It's a toy, a toy for silly boys." And where do you go if you want to build a jet-powered car? You go to the iconic group that has been doing this for decades, the Arfons family in Akron, Ohio, creators of the Green Monster and other closed-course, record-setting jet-powered cars. Patrick flew out to confer with the Arfonses. "He had this crazy idea -- he wanted to put a jet engine in a Volkswagen," said Tim Arfons, who runs the Akron Turbine Group and is a man who has seen his share of outr

Ja sam cuo da nakon sto vuk 58 puta podigne "njusku" i "zavije", padne mu kesa sa neba na glavu.

valjda je danas bila neka trka (ili je jos uvek) od Hrama do Ade Ciganlije ... kao one standardne trke svih ovih godina, nego uvek menjaju lokaciju. A pljusak je trajao oko pet minuta, taman da ti sjebe opran auto ... jebi ga ;) Sad videh vest da su Kinezi "prizvali" kishu da spere prljavstinu sa Pekinga. Ipak znachi nisu amerikanci!!11 http://go.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?ty...rss/scienceNews

25. maj je imao neki fazon za ono vecernje kupanje, mislim da mi je bash bole nesto za to rekao, na fazon 1000 dinara mesec dana nesto izmedju 20 i 22 ili tako nesto. Od alternativa mogu da ti preporucim samo Vrachar, uvek ljudi nekako na njega zaborave, mada ti je verovatno daleko. Inache je sam po sebi ok, nema neke guzve i to.

Umal' da sinotj dobijem tri puta istog heroja u doti. I cak mi ne bi ni smetalo, samo da se u toj trecoj bole setio da mozhe da swapuje. Nego ... sta ono, ah da ... uz'o neki lap FSCov da malo isprobam, vidim kako radi, ne deluje loshe, al' ko bi ga znao. Ruch'o, sad skupljam stare krpe i oblachim stare trenerke pa idem na sredjivanje redakcije. Malo nitro razredjivacha i em ce redakcija da bude cista, em mi svi veseli. Stig'o sam kutji malopre bukvalno 20 sekundi nakon onog ogromnog pljuska, da ga covek pita odakle je dos'o ne bi znao da kazhe. Citam ove zanimljive topice, konstatovao sam sa nenadom da se pojavila solidna kolicina bash onako zanimljivih.

Dogurao do sestog mesta? Dobro, znaci topic je uspeo ;) btw, jel to neki novi stos sa "vukom samotnjakom iz suma severa"?

Jel to hoces da kazhes da te interesuje narucivanje? ;}

Ajmo opet, za one koji su spavali na casu (iako i ova Ivanova varijanta zapravo radi). 1. Kliknes dole desno pored "new reply" i "fast reply" na dugme "Options". 2. Tu imas stavku "Download / Print this Topic". 3. Kad kliknes na nju biras izmedju tri razlicita tipa downloada: - printer friendly - full html - microsoft word To je to :)

Imogen Heap - Sweet Religion Ako je neko gotivio Frou Frou, onda ce mu se Imogen Heap sigurno dopasti, jer je to glavni vokal te grupe. Njen prvi album, I Megaphone, i jedna od najboljih stvari sa istog, po meni. Godina, 1998.

sta je, setio si se vec sada? ;}

srecom znam o cemu se radi, pa mogu da ti pomognem, mislio je na visokoumni chat ;) A i nije da nije bio, razresheno je koje magije u doti poseduje koji clan foruma ... pa vi vidite tu visokoumnost :> Trazhio ziku iz one reklame za Nokia mobilne telefone L'amour serije. Nadjoh prilicno brzo i lako, mada nisam siguran da je to to. U svakom slucaju ja ubedjen da je glas od Imogen Heap, i to potvrdjuju neki, a drugi kazu da je World of Flowers - DjSayem. I taaako ... pishem neke tekstove, sa'cu da nesto calabrcnem, pa kasnije na rhh.

a ne, do toga nece doci jos najmanje 70 strana ;)

ima ako si na beogrid mrezhi. mislim da ne pustaju van toga. racunam da ces ti to uspeti da zatashkash, mozhda uz malu pomoc draleta.

zar nije milena ona sto lici na baraku? :)

Jedem sarmice od zelja sa kiselim mlekom. Nema nista lepse nego jak dorucak :) Onda pratim babu u banju, pa cemo da vidimo sta i kako dalje.

Full izdanje imas na Digital DVDu koji se pojavio pre jedno 5-6 dana u prodaji. Pa ne moras da kupujes, samo ujuri od nekoga ;)

ok, here we go again ... neko trazhi moju sliku, onda neko okaci sliku kompjutera. Onda nekoliko ljudi okace razlicite slike kompjutera uz komentar "ne, ipak evo ga ovde". Onda se javi zwerko i kazhe kako dok ja pricam n-gage-om on mozhe da vidi iza mene sa kim ja razgovaram. a ne, cekaj, nije to ta prica. Onda se ljudi javljaju i komentarishu delove kompjutera, onda se ja pojavim i kazhem pa trazhite po forumu fotke, bilo ih je kaceno x puta, problem je sto skoro uvek ja fotkam, al' ima sa rhhova barem dosta, a mislim i sa parteea, a cak i sa onog paintballa gde me je moj drugar luka izabrao u top 3 fotki :} Onda se, neobaziruci se na to napisano i dalje nastavi prica oko kompjutera, harda, kucista i monitora, onda uleti "proverena kombinacija" i nabaca neke komentare nevezane za temu, i onda konacno dare okaci svoje fotke, neko novo zensko, emo, ili neko dok je bio pijan.

Nista, pripreticu Uvenusu i reci im da cu, ako ne izglasaju tebe za prvo mesto, poslati gore na sedmi boleta da im prica svoje dogodovstine, peva i baca rime.

^^ u, ovo jos prelazi i u dimenziju privatnog zivota ;)

Vremena se uvek nadje, jedino je pitanje da li hoces da to uradis. Ono, ustanes cuku ranije, ne gledas seriju, ne gnjavis se po gajbi i tako dalje. Stig'o kutji, bio na chaju, prijalo bash, posle do babe, sutra ide u banju pa sam joj objasnjavao kako se koristi mobilni (zamislite vi to ;)), sad dos'o kutji, sredio malo, pa da se bacim na pos'o. Ne bi trebalo da bude neke frke, samo da lagano krenem pa cu da se zalaufam ;)
