Cult of the Turbo

The Power of Dreams

Honda use the slogan 'The Power of Dreams' in the majority of their adverts and it is easy to see why when looking at the Honda NR750.

The NR(New Racing) 750 can trace its roots back to the NR500 Grand Prix racer and the NR750 endurance racer in the 1980s. The oval piston design meant that each cylinder had 8 valves enabling the engine to produce more power due to the increased air/ fuel mixture. The road version had an advanced fuel injection system and featured titanium connecting rods. The expense didn't stop with the engine, the frame was coated with titanium to help prevent scratches and the bike was covered in carbon fibre.

In 1992 300 street models were produced by Honda and the bike is still renounced for being one of the most expensive production bikes ever made.

Roadster Demo Car: I - Styling

The I - Styling NA6 Roadster is very subtle but at the same time those in the know can pick out some of the incredibly rare items on the car. From the Enkei RPF1 14 inch wheels (limited run at the time) to the M2 1001 gauges and other interior pieces, this car has been modified in all the right areas. The car has been fitted with Nakamae bucket seats and the stance is helped by a set of Tein Flex coilovers.

Monaco 1965 - First Piece of Art Work

Whilst browsing around the Hinckley Classic Motorshow I spotted this for sale in a shop. After work I popped in and bought it. I need to get the print framed and the dimensions are 60cm*80cm. I can't wait to get it mounted and I'm also on the hunt for more car and bike related art work now.

This gives you a good idea as to how big the print is. I still have my Porsche Steve McQueen and Cosworth prints for the garage, maybe I should use them in the house.
