Auto-Union Project: The Moronic Dross that Passes for Journalism

http://heinkelscooter.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-moronic-dross-that-passes-for.html

Sunday, July 19, 2015. The Moronic Dross that Passes for Journalism. There are some great legends that attach to cars and then there are legends that are so moronically stupid you wonder how anyone can honestly believe them. Somehow it seems like the moronic legends are the ones that keep getting repeated ad-nauseum. Take for instance the worn out Tatra canard, recently repeated with gusto by Rupert Hawksley of the Telegraph.co.uk. The car that destroyed Nazis". I mean, really? Than in the war? These hig...

Auto-Union Project: Standard Superior

http://heinkelscooter.blogspot.com/2015/07/standard-superior.html

Friday, July 31, 2015. The Slaby-Beringer of 1930 was typical of cyclecar of the period, being little more than a plywood box body on bicycle wheels. These little wooden cars were either powered by an electric motor or a two-stroke motor cycle engine. The example in the picture above is powered by a DKW single cylinder two-stroke mounted at the back. The Trojan Utility car was simplicity itself and came as a 3 door soft top, 4 door sedan and a utility/delivery van. The rolling chassis in the workshop&#46...

Wednesday, December 31, 2014. Percy Markham's Antique Auto Museum. I had heard about the museum but never saw it. I only ever saw the cars when they were in the Perth Museum. However, a witness to those times, Andrew Brownell, sent me these photos from the late 1960s. He writes:. I hope that you find these of interest and would be pleased to assist you with identification of others if you need. Andrew and the Morris Cowley, Percy's first vintage car.

Auto-Union Project: Tatra repairs

http://heinkelscooter.blogspot.com/2015/07/tatra-repairs.html

Wednesday, July 1, 2015. I drove the car a couple of times - mainly back and forth to a mechanics. However, the engine inevitably gave up the ghost and the car was parked away. Next was the carburetors. The carbs are a Solex 32 PBIC. Both carbs have been repaired in the past with incorrect parts, meaning they were feeding the engine unevenly. A carb repair kit was used, plus two donated Solex's were canabilised to effect repairs. All six tyres were also replaced. There are still a number of issues to be ...

Auto-Union Project: Auto-Union Streamliners

http://heinkelscooter.blogspot.com/2013/08/auto-union-streamliners.html

Thursday, August 1, 2013. Aeronautical engineer Paul Jaray was at the forefront of streamlined automobile design in the 1920s. Within a year of his first patent in 1921 prototype vehicles had been produced by Audi, Ley and Dixi. Unfortunately, none of the these radically new vehicles proved practical enough to go into production. Despite this failed experiment, Paul Jaray continued working on improving and refining his designs and in 1927 he founded Stromlinien Karosserie Gesellschaft. Jaray's rear-engin...

Tuesday, March 24, 2015. German Car Day 2015. With around 250 cars and well over 300 people in attendance, German Car Day was bigger and better than ever! Thanks to everyone who attended; we certainly enjoyed ourselves and hope you did too (despite the traffic delays)! Best of all, your participation and generous contributions have gone toward helping needy West Australian families access vital medical services, with proceeds going to the Wheels For Hope charity. We are snapped by Benwath Photography.
