One question....

What's a V8 Block, and how do I put one on my bike?

Ok, sorry.  That's 2 questions!

By the way Pete.  I like your new avatar.  It reminds me that I forgot to post a letter this afternoon.

Hey Pete. Let me know if you want to see one been machined out in real life? The two brothers that i used to drive for make their own for sports sedans and customers. Al

Just imagine the stuff you could make if you had a machine and could use the software to program it.

Despite how cool this, tech wise it's old.  The F1 guys now using heaps of carbon fibre in the engines and everywhere else.

That's awesome, I hope that they use some sort of scanner to load the image and the computer works out what to do from there, it would be a shipload of work for some punter to work that out.
