Gallardo + Snow = AWD V10 Fun

Went out with a pal of mine over the weekend and got some quick shots of him sliding around his Gallardo in the snow. Pretty enjoyable time minus it being ludicrously cold. Hopefully we’ll get another snow and we can get some more! Appreciate the quick snaps.

Could the mountainous snow lotus (saussurea) plant grow in a mountain CAVE?

Question by freethinker1973: Could the mountainous snow lotus (saussurea) plant grow in a mountain CAVE?
I am writing a book where a character eats a snow lotus and I have the plant growing in a grassy area inside a cave on the side of the mountain. Is this possible, or would it only be possible on the mountainside outside of the cave?

Best answer:

Answer by Dave M
I don’t believe it or the grass would be able to live inside the cave, unless the cave has a lightsource opening somewhere in it’s roof/ceiling….whatever you call the top inside of a cave. Then you would have light and could have plants.

And I HAVE been in caves like that, so it’s possible and believable.

Thule K-Summit Model K55 XL Snow Chain is the ultimate snow chain for SUV and cross-over vehicles on the market today. It is uniquely designed to ride only on the external surfaces of the tire so you don’t need to worry about clearance issues on the inside of the tire or interference with ABS braking, suspension or steering components. This chain is one of the easiest chains to install in three easy steps. Simply lay the chain on the tire, attach it to one of the bolts, activate the ratchet and you’re done. This chain automatically self-tightens and self-centers itself as you drive away. You don’t have to keep other components mounted to the wheel over the winter like other chains. It is hand made in Italy with special alloy plates and strengthening ribs along with zinc-plated pins and hard metal core rivets offering maximum grip, endurance, reliability and resistance to abrasion and laceration. The geometric design of the arms and the high toughness of the material do not allow the chain to come off the tire, even in extreme conditions. In addition the innovative ratchet system has a force multiplier of nine times allowing effortless fitting and a safety lever to avoid accidental openings.When the winter comes, Thule has the snow chains that get you there safely, easily and in style. Thule, known worldwide as a manufacturer of highly innovative automotive racks and accessories, is proud to offer the new K-Summit–their most advanced consumer snow chain. The K-Summit has been specially designed to fit a wide variety of passenger tires, and can even be safely used on vehicles with limited wheel clearance. Tested in the Italian Alps, this line of snow chains is surefooted, safe and remarkably easy to install and remove. To make sure you find the right chains for your tires, check the Thule K- Summit Snow Chain Fitment Guide and find your tire size.


Low-profile design will not harm components.

Easy 3-step installation:
1. Lay the chain on the tread pattern.
2. Attach the chain to one lug nut or bolt.
3. Activate the ratchet system, and you’re off.

Superior Engineering and Design
Thule snow chains are hand-made in Italy and are constructed of durable, hardened Manganese Nickel Alloy Steel. This type of steel has a tight molecular structure that provides added strength in cold conditions. The K-Summit features reduced-clearance, D-shaped links that provide exceptional traction and guarantee long product life. All chain components are meticulously tested and measured to ensure an exact fit that will not damage critical wheel components. K-Summit snow chains utilize a steel spring system that automatically adjusts itself for a perfect fit, even through varying degrees of tire wear. Aerospace plastic plates, zinc-plated steel pins and hardened metal-core rivets have been used throughout the chain to provide maximum durability and safety. Additionally, the color-coded assembly points make mounting easy in all lighting conditions.

Thule K-Summit – The Chain That Goes Where Others Can’t
Thule has specially designed the K-Summit to fit a wide variety of passenger tires and wheel applications. Not only are they well-suited to standard passenger vehicles, they also fit specialty and customized vehicles that have very tight wheel tolerances. Its components have been constructed to provide excellent snow and ice traction, all while keeping mechanical components, electronic devices and the vehicle’s body free from chain interference or damage. K-Summit chains are easy to install and don’t require any components to be permanently mounted on the wheel during winter months. The quick, 3-step process minimizes the amount of time you’re exposed to the elements. To install the chain, simply lay two of the traction plates on the tire tread, attach the central unit to one lug nut with the included ergonomic tool, and activate the ratchet system. The chain will automatically self-adjust and tighten as you drive away. High-strength materials and an advanced geometric design keep the chain from slipping off of the tire, even in extreme conditions. K-Summit snow chains include 17mm and 19mm lug nut adapters,and 21mm adapters are available on request.

How to Choose a Snow Chain that Fits Perfectly
To choose the right snow chain you must follow a few simple criteria. First, check your vehicle’s maintenance or owner’s manual to verify it contains no warnings advising against the fitting of snow chains on your particular vehicle. Once verified, take careful note of the three measurements on the side of the tire. The first number indicates the width, the second gives you the aspect ratio (sidewall height as percentage of width) and the third denotes the diameter of the wheel expressed in inches. Then click on the Thule K-Summit Snow Chain Fitment Guide to choose the most suitable model and size for your vehicle.

Bugatti Veyron 16.4 in snow test drive Pt. II / Sweden

en.wikipedia.org With its 16-cylinder four-wheel drive, the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 may well be the most sophisticated production vehicle of all times. Most of the components tucked beneath its hood are ingenious innovations that were formerly only deemed possible by visionaries like Ferdinand Piëch. Boasting a maximum speed of more than 400 km per hour, the Veyron is unmatched in the super sports category. It offers a total of 1001 HP, and its ample power reserves even at high speeds are the fabric of dreams for luxury-class limousines: for a constant speed of 250 km/h, the Veyron only needs 270-280 HP. This means that the seven-gear clutch transmission works with a torque of up to 1250 Newton meters. The Electronic Stability Program (ESP) ensures the necessary flexibility and maneuverability at any speed. The Veyron reaches velocities that would literally lift the car off the ground if it werent for its ingenious aerodynamics, which keeps it firmly on the road even at full speed. Adjusting the back spoiler, reducing ground clearance, opening and closing the lids it all adds to the perfect balance between propulsion and downforce. Such a super sports car may not seem to be brought to a halt easily, but the Veyrons ceramic brakes slow it down faster than it can accelerate. While it takes this exceptional car only 2.5 seconds to go from 0 to 100 km/h, it needs even less time a mere 2.3 seconds to come to a standstill from 100 (reference point).

It’s not the most conventional of solutions to a persistent fault with your £500000 super car, but one Chinese businessman decided enough was enough. He ordered a group of men to smash up his Lamborghini using sledgehammers after the dealership failed to fix a recurring problem. He became so frustrated with the service he received that he decided to show his anger in the most extreme fashion. He hired a group of men from China’s eastern Shandong province, gave them sledgehammer and let them get on with smashing up the Italian sports car. Comment, Rate and Suscribe!
