    The Porsche 904 is an automobile which was produced by Porsche in Germany in 1964 and 1965. It was officially called Porsche Carrera GTS due to the same naming rights problem that required renaming the Porsche 901 to Porsche 911.


    Today was dry for a change, BUT, high winds and rain forecast for tomorrow <doh> Can't wait for Spring to arrive

    905 F3 is designed specifically for the transport industry. High durability and graphic customisation make it ideal for use in sliding truck curtains and flexible doors.

    Oh why when I saw "spring to arrive" did I start to hum "April Showers" hopefully by then there is no more left up there

    The Porsche 906 or Carrera 6 was the last street-legal racing car from Porsche. It was announced in January 1966 and 50 examples were subsequently produced, thus meeting the homologation requirements of the FIA's new Group 4 Sports Car category to the letter. The type would also compete in modified form in the Group 6 Sports Prototype class.

    "April Showers" sounds like a porn star

    This locomotive W 907 was built by Beyer Peacock & Co as their builder's number 7384 of 1951 as the seventh of the WAGR's W-class. W 907 was one of a number of W-class locomotives placed in storage by the WAGR at the cessation of their steam operations, surviving to pass into preservation when transferred to South Australia in 1979 for the Steamtown Peterborough collection (together with W 901).

    One After 909 is a song by The Beatles, written primarily by John Lennon (credited to Lennon/McCartney) and originally released in 1970 (see 1970 in music) on the album Let It Be. The album version is the live performance from the rooftop concert which took place on 30 January 1969. This performance is also included in the Let It Be film. The song was written as early as 1957, and is one of the first Lennon-McCartney compositions.

    The Beatles originally attempted to record the song on 5 March 1963 during the same session that produced their third single, "From Me to You", and its B-side "Thank You Girl". They were unhappy with the result and that version was not released at the time. Various takes from the 5 March session, and an edit of them, were released in 1995 on the Anthology 1 compilation. Episode 1 of the Beatles Anthology features a recording of the song made in 1960.

    "One After 909" is included on 2003's Let It Be... Naked, a remixed and remastered version of the original 1970 session tapes.

    Each version of the song is representative of the Beatles changing styles, with the 1963 recording based on a simple 12-bar structure with few lead parts other than George Harrison's solo in the middle. The 1969 recording is much faster and heavier, with Harrison playing lead riffs throughout.

    On the rooftop version released on Let It Be, either Harrison or Lennon plays an incorrect first note, resulting in an flat, atonal start. This was one of the many errors corrected for Let It Be... Naked.

    Also on the Let It Be version of this song, Lennon is heard singing the opening lines to "Danny Boy" as the song fades out.

    World Heritage Listing number 901 Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park is an outstanding, well-preserved example of 17th- and 18th-century military architecture in a Caribbean context. Designed by the British and built by African slave labour, the fortress is testimony to European colonial expansion, the African slave trade and the emergence of new societies in the Caribbean.

    Apologies my typo- it was listing 910- but my cackhanded typing as a result of a massive infusion of amber liquid at darts at the club last night resulted in the said ballsup - and good evening to you and to cheer you up it is raining here also

    The Ducati 916 is a sport bike motorcycle made by Ducati from 1994 to 1998. In contrast to Japanese inline four-cylinder competitors of the time, its V-twin engine produced less outright power, but a more even torque spread. The 916 model was replaced by the 996 model in 1999.

    The Porsche 918 Spyder is a mid-engined sports plug-in hybrid designed by Porsche and first shown as a concept at the 80th Geneva Motor Show in March 2010. The Spyder is powered by a 4.6 litre V8 engine, developing 608 horsepower (453 kW), with two electric motors delivering an additional 279 horsepower (208 kW) for a combined output of 887 horsepower (661 kW). It is the second plug-in hybrid car from Porsche, after the 2014 Panamera S E-Hybrid.[2] The production version was unveiled at the September 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show.[3]
    The 918 Spyder is a limited edition supercar, and Porsche plans to manufacture 918 units as a 2014 model year. Production began on September 18, 2013, with deliveries scheduled to begin in December 2013.[4][5] The starting price is US$845,000.[6]
    Porsche unveiled the RSR racing variant of the 918 at the 2011 North American International Auto Show, which combines hybrid technology first used in the 997 GT3 R Hybrid, with styling from the 918 Spyder.[7]

    Magnitude 7.6-7.7 Mw / 7.3 Ms
    Depth 8.0 km (5.0 mi)
    Epicenter 23.772°N 120.982°E
    Jiji, Nantou, Taiwan.
    Countries or regions Republic of China (Taiwan)

    53,768 buildings damaged
    The 921 earthquake (Chinese: &#20061;&#20108;&#19968;&#22823;&#22320;&#38663;; pinyin: Ji&#468;'èry&#299; dàdìzhèn), also known as Jiji earthquake (Chinese: &#38598;&#38598;&#22823;&#22320;&#38663;; pinyin: Jíjí dàdìzhèn), was a 7.3 Ms or 7.6-7.7 Mw earthquake which occurred at 01:47:12.6 TST on Tuesday, 21 September 1999 (17:47:12.6 UTC on Monday, 20 September 1999) in Jiji (Chichi, &#38598;&#38598;), Nantou County, Taiwan. 2,415 people were killed, 11,305 injured, and NT$300 billion (US$10 billion) worth of damage was done. It was the second-deadliest quake in recorded history in Taiwan, after the 1935 Hsinchu-Taichung earthquake.
    Rescue groups from around the world joined local relief workers and the ROC military in digging out survivors, clearing rubble, restoring essential services and distributing food and other aid to the more than 100,000 people made homeless by the quake. The disaster, dubbed the "Quake of the Century" by local media, had a profound effect on the economy of the island and the consciousness of the people, and dissatisfaction with government's performance in reacting to it was said by some commentators[who?] to be a factor in the unseating of the ruling Kuomintang party in the 2000 Presidential Election.
