Tips in Buying the Right Motorcycle Helmet

Ever since I can remember the Ford Mustang had a place in my heart. The first Mustang that stood out for me was somewhere around 1971 when a neighbor has a New Red Mach 1 Mustang in their driveway. I would drive my bicycle past it and wondered, how the words on the trunk lid were pronounced, Match 1, Mock 1, March 1, Mach Won, etc. But no matter how it was pronounced, the long sloping roof, rear louvers, and wing (as I called it) was captivating. Five years later I purchased my very own pony car. Taking $300 of my hard earned money from a part time stock boy job, I purchased a 1967 Mustang Convertible from my boss. The only problem was that I was 15 years old, and could not even get a learners permit for another year. That year was a great opportunity to get my hands greasy, and learn about body work. Yes, this stangs floor boards were rotted in areas, as well as the rear quarters. This experience opened the door for my love of this special breed. Thirty years later and having filled the stable at one time or another with a 1970 Mach 1, 1989 GT, and now a 1969 Mach 1 and another 1970 Mach 1 my desire for this car has not waned. Each one of these Mustangs had something special. The 1967 Mustang with its power convertible roof was a gem in its own right. The Mustang badge in the grill was what people seen coming towards them. As it got closer, they realized it was making an even bolder statement with the finned side scoops, the slight rumble of the 289 engine and when the roof was down it could be even more captivating. This was not the power hungry, throaty loud exhaust version, but rather, a classic car that you wanted to go slow where heads would turn. Fords creation was a masterpiece in its own right, and today it can draw a similar level of desire as a Picasso.

A spark plug is one of the most important parts of a petrol engine. It provides a spark into the fuel-air mixture at high pressure in the combustion chamber. It causes its ignition causing an expansion and there by power is generated. Until recently Platinum was considered the best material to use on the top of an electrode of the sparkplug, because of its durability. How ever Iridium is 6 times harder, 8 times stronger and has a melting point of 1200 degrees higher than Platinum. Put that into a harsh environment such as an engine piston chamber and you have a spark plug that can resist wear much better than Platinum. Iridium is one of the most unique minerals known to man. this silvery white metallic substance, which occurs as a solid at room temperature, has a very interesting history. Approximately some 50 million years ago an asteroid around 10 km in diameter slammed into what is now Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. This is what scientists summarize as the phenomenon, which brought about the ice age, which resulted the extinction of all life forms on earth, mainly Dinosaurs. The evidence for this has been known for sometime, with deposits of Iridium rich clay found at the boundary of cretaceous and tertiary deposits, known as K/T boundary, found all over the world.
