Watch the Crazy 16hp go kart build video!!! It's the second time Iv'e started it after winter. SO, it is an old mini formula kart and I decided I would put a 656cc 16hp 2 cyclinder Briggs I/C motor on it. It's very fast and just as dangerous!

Vintage Macintosh and Mac Inspired Coats - A Brief History and Guide
Companies in the North of England had been experimenting with rubber coating fabrics since the early 1800's in order to benefit from the waterproof qualities rubber provides. It was 1823 before Charles Macintosh, whose name is now synonymous with the rainproof overcoat that has come to be known as the 'Mac' or 'Mack', patented waterproofed cloth. Macintosh is also often spelt as Mackintosh and refers to the same company.
The Mac is typified by its simple, lightweight and waterproof design. The earliest examples are incredibly rare today. This is not just due to it being hard to find good examples of clothing from this era in general but specifically to the Mac, issues with the rubber that was used at the time being subject to cracking, melting and general wear, contributing to their scarcity.
The process of vulcanizing the rubber began in 1843. This is a chemical process that allows the rubber to take on new elastic characteristics and in doing so it becomes less brittle and more suited to creating a durable material for making coats. Vulcanization was also being used in other industries; for example, it was used to make shoes and tyres.
One of the worlds leading manufacturers of vulcanized rubber, Dunlop Rubber, acquired the Macintosh business in 1925. At this time, production was increased and most of the earliest examples of Macs that can be found today are likely to be from around this time.
The Mac is now a term that is often given to any garment that takes on the characteristics of being a lightweight and waterproof overcoat or jacket, not necessarily from the Macintosh company. Indeed, the company nearly became a victim of its own success, with other brands producing 'Macs' and sales waning until the brand started to reinvent itself in the 1990's, collaborating with the likes of Hermes. It was at this time that a sales executive, Daniel Dunko, saw an opportunity to re-establish Macintosh as a leading luxury British brand. Dunko acquired the company and has since worked with designers such as Louis Vuitton and Yohji Yamamoto. The Macintosh Rainwear brand has positioned itself as the best of British and continues to operate out of its factory in Cumberauld, near Glasgow In Scotland.

The Graspic DS3 From Dunlop - An Excellent Studless Snow Tire for Your Sedan Or Minivan
The Dunlop Graspic DS3 is an excellent quality studless snow tire for your sedan or minivan with lots of winter snow traction and safety features to keep you and your family secure. If you currently have all-season tires and anticipate more than an inch of snow in your area this winter, you want to seriously consider buying tires specifically designed for snow and ice. The increase in traction and safety is huge!
The Graspic DS3 has been around for about a year. Drivers with many different cars have given this studless winter tire strong reviews for traction, braking, stability, and noise on snow, slush, and muddy/wet conditions. Since the DS3 has been out for awhile you are now able to get some very good low priced deals on this tire.
An example of what this studless tire can do is described here: "The difference between the Graspic DS3 and the all-season tires I had on my car before is dramatic! Traction on ice is very good and snow grip is outstanding. On the freeway I was traveling almost 80 mph and drove over hard ice and snow suddenly.
The Graspic DS2 handled it without a hitch. These tires are worth your money -- I would have crashed without them."
You should take care when buying the any snow tire that you don't leave them on your car after the snowy winter months are over. Once the temperature gets above 40 degrees and the roads dry out, your snow tires will wear out quickly and give you poor dry weather performance. This is because studless snow tires have soft compounds and an open tread which rolls over instead of gripping tightly to dry road. Like all snow tires, the tread blocks tend to bend rather than stick to dry asphalt. As long as there is some snow or slush on the road, they are OK. Even if it's raining or sleeting and it's cold. Otherwise, make sure you switch back to your dry weather tires. It helps to have your snow tires mounted on their own set of rims so you don't have to re-mount them again.
For those of us who need a set of snow tires for only a few months a year and don't want every high performance feature available on pricier tires, a good choice is the Dunlop Graspic DS3.
