12A engine transplant

Alas, my Fb needs an engine transplant, oil control ring failure? Luckily I have a backup engine with ported exhaust openings.

I recreate a famous Mazda poster.

This is a Mazda poster made 30 years ago. I improved it with a few tweaks when I reshot it with the 787B. No Photoshop was used.

1981 IMSA GTU Champion made!

I recently upgraded my two decade old Scalextric slot track to digital over the pandemic Christmas season so that any future grandkids can enjoy the tradition I started when my son was very young. But you know, they never made a 1:32 Fb slot car. I had to make my own, but which Fb race car should I ...

Rx7 Video Review

Pandemic spare time led me to making this video review of my car. I really could have used a camera and sound man but this is unfortunately a solo effort with all the compromises that entails.

Le Mans

Just for fun, I recreated a vintage style Le Mans poster with some more modern cars in a race we are all familiar with.

Re: My Fb on track at Mosport

The turbo definitely helps when keeping up with modern cars on the track but I have to watch the substandard oem brakes! Don't remember if I've posted this image of the car before but it does show well.

My Fb on track at Mosport

Mosport is Canada's oldest continuously operating track about an hour outside of Toronto. Home of legendary Can-Am battles, Fangio has raced there and so has Moss in 1961.
