martc Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 A few decades earlier - HMS Victoria passes through the Swing Bridge after her launch at Elswick, 1887. HMS Victoria, a first-class battleship of the Royal Navy, was built by Armstrong Whitworth on the River Tyne at a cost of £845,000.

martc Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Caption - 'This Mexican mechanic saved the Ferrari 375 at the 1954 La Carrera Panamericana which was one of the most demanding endurance races in history. Umberto Maglioli was leading the fourth stage of the race in his Ferrari 375 before his engine started to leak oil through the crankcase. He had to stop in the middle of nowhere without any technical support for his car. His chances of finishing the race were near-zero. Maglioli was lucky enough to stop beside a small workshop called “El Milagro” where he met Mexican mechanic Renato Martinez. Renato confirmed the oil leak and was able to provide Maglioli with a temporary solution: He grabbed a bucket and a big bar of soap while he gave Maglioli three bottles of Coke and said "While you drink your Coke I will repair your car." Martinez started to rub the bar of soap onto the crankcase. The soap melted and created a paste that sealed the leak hole. Soap cuts through the oil film and adheres to the metal in the crankcase. Amazed by Martinez ingenuity Maglioli pulls out a small Rolleiflex camera to capture the moment and to immortalise Renato and his "El Milagro" garage. Umberto Maglioli finished the race in the first place. After the race, Martinez was mailed the photograph Maglioli had taken and it read "Renato, The Mexican Miracle that helped Ferrari." signed by a man named Enzo Ferrari.'

martc Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 David Piper crashed a Porsche 917 during the filming of the 1971 film 'Le Mans'. Steve McQueen is looking at the wreck in the background. The car, chassis No. 917-013, was loaned by John Wyer Automotive Engineering and received the Gulf livery and the No. 21. Piper's leg was cut and the wound filled with brake fluid; this caused infection and it had to be amputated. Piper received 'special thanks for his sacrifice' in the end credits. adw1977, uk_senator, Richard_FM and 3 others 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Bell had a lucky escape during filming when the Ferrari he was driving burst into flames, getting away with some minor burns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
