Opel Astra Coupe Turbo: the advantage of the constancy
"Opel Astra"? They drove the pair- troika of times. Sleeping compartment? They saw on the pictures, and Volodya matveychuk said, that itself Burton to it (sleeping compartment) hand applied. Turbo? It is interesting. In Spain? With the pleasure.
Malaga - Almenara - Gibraltar
The native land in the snowdrifts (see the tests
of number), on the radio already do sing Happy New Year, but you do
arrive flying into +20°. as not to become soft? In the airport I
here change currency by local pesety and to the ides to obtain keys
from the machine. But thus far ides, recounting notes and coins,
suddenly I understand, that for this operation from me they took by 7%
of commission! Dashingly. On the instruction I cannot get
rid of the thoughts about the special features of local owner's
mentality. And suddenly I hear, as us they request to especially
attentively relate to the limitations of the velocity: in the
city - 50, on the highway - 130 km/h. Penalties here are wild,
and policemen - under each bush.
First thought: why
under such conditions test for turbokupe to arrange? And the
second: I do not believe. Gentlemen from "opelya" know
that they make. Yes even not will very strictly follow these
rules the citizens, xwho, until now, have custom with the large
accumulation of people to kill domestic animals, preliminarily above
them poizdevavshis'. So it proved to be.
But first automobile. Exterior view - you see themselves. To me not from the hand to flap on the arm signora Burton. Passing Caballeros, especially on the "simple" "asters", scrutinized us about -very attentively. The widely arranged 17- one inch wheels, the general swelling, which passes into muskulistost', sharp face along entire side from the front headlight to the rear leave the impression of refinement and power. But it is more - the first. But how much power- that? In the booklet it was registered: 190 hp with 5400 r/min, moment - 250 beginning with 1900 r/min, acceleration to hundred - 7.5 s. sounds well.
I begin to flap wide heavy door, bezramochnoye glass-, only after rising, tightly it was forced against the edge of roof. I by hand tune armchair under itself, being surprised, why such elegant and without the electricity. I understand already more lately: so that it would be more conveniently leave, it is necessary to move aside armchair. After harvesting to the key, will for long await thus far it it will drive off, and after stretching by hand lever under the armchair, you make this for the half seconds. Control. What convenient control! Three-spoked, thick, soft, of two are quality the skin. Similar I remember only on the "Mercedes" CLK Cabrio Sport. But here even and special convexities. When you go actively, maximally kontsentrirovanno, you hold control strongly, scarcely higher knitting needles - you feel by their fingers inside. But when road makes it possible to be weakened, requiring only podrulivaniya, hand almost they lie on the elbows - you oshchushchayesh' these convexities by palms outside the control. Very thought-out construction.
Road from the airport into the golf- hotel "almenara" -
almost 200 km - through the cities along the outstanding mains.
And with what speed will go Spaniards? 130? In any
way. I sit, I get accustomed to my "aster", landscape hilly,
speed 160. Here by whistled some charged "focus". Means,
in it on the speedometer hearth 200. That zh, it was necessary
to be switched to the 4th through the pair of minutes I overtake it,
and kilometers 20 we will go by this dual-control aircraft. Here
to you speed! The languages of dense fog began to get down on
the entrance to Gibraltar to the earth. But when it drove up to
boundary itself, entire surrounding space was as if flooded by milk
cocktail. So for me could not be looked, where "were painted"
John Yoko, but our former oligarchs now hide. 
And the
main thing, to me was is completely incomprehensibly, when in this
engine turbine is included. There was sensation, what it works
in any transfer and at any speed - thrust rabid always. Each
centimeter of pressure on the pedal of gas is equivalent to five cm on
the simple engine. But also with the discharge accurately the
same picture.
The chief engineer of this motor Gunter shlarb described at the evening briefing that, simply speaking, the credo of its creation as in comrade bender, "always!". And it promised to send the detailed description of the device of engine. When sends, Dmitriy filonov, I promise, thoroughly it will be dismantled and will present in the heading of "construction", as in this engine turbine is combined with the inlet effusor, thanks to which it works constantly, and generally, why earlier than turbomotory they were capricious and expensive pozhiratelyami of gasoline, and now their portion (in the total volume of output) steadily grows.
Mountains
By the early rainy morning we leave from the hotel. After introduction into the navigation system of the number of mountain route began to play by someone inserted "sidyuk". Fashionable Moby meditatively straightened out his "Haigh... Khey... Haigh In- VA... ". By o'key, o'key, Moby, I will ring Vove into Moscow directly now. It is simple thus. But that it is offended, that I ring only on business. Easy to make this good, after collecting the necessary combination of numbers on the console. 4 immediately it it did not estimate. Me it seemed that it is somehow rather rough raised in the middle and by its sizes, by the combination of small buttons, large krutilok, by the cyclopean eye of the screen of navigation system terrifically it resembles cyborg. But then 4 to this cyborg of privyk and even it were penetrated by sympathy. Because and air correct, and route correct, and music correct, and people of correct can be on the telephone called because of it in the salon: both its friends and those, who you from any 3-3... cleft will arrive to take out, if, do not give god, you there will please. (there is no here only correct beer in it.)
The road meanwhile lost its original smoothness. Its surface became similar to face of person, who transferred the severe form of smallpox. But jumping and even flying on these mounds, wheels into the same fraction of a second as if were attracted by powerful magnet to the earth's surface. But in the slack pose no longer you will go. I stop and push up myself to the control so that it it would be possible to turn as conveniently, also, in this case by blades the back of armchair to feel.
Rain periodically reminds one of itself. All around
to what extent be sufficient eyes - neither cows nor dogs nor people.
Road loops so that the control continuously is necessary to
shift from "3rds it is hour" to "9" and vice versa. From one
sides of mountain, set by the black stems of the unprecedented species
of pine tree, or it is simple cliff. Long ago propalo enclosure,
and is there better not to look with another, because immediately
there and you will prove to be. Clouds first lie down to you on
the roof, then they occur somewhere below, and the sun sometimes
breaks through their disordered numbers, floods entire with bright
light and will blind eyes. Roadway is two-row. But not
always. It sometimes seems that if someone goes towards, then
cannot be depart it will be. Then road again is enlarged,
provoking an increase in the speed. You increase. You
expect that any minute now in the sequential turn of wheel they will
slide, and machine will go with the drift. But wheel they do not
persistently desire to slide. You again increase speed.
Automobile persistently will go as streetcar along the rails.
It begins to seem that in your actions you by anything is
unconfined. And only someone's sober voice warns that if
dozhdichkom to road in this 100- degree turning the drift at long last
arises at this speed on this that sprinkled, several it is meter road
fabric and the meter of curb to the break to you it can not be
sufficient. And to whom then will be necessary your reporting
from the precipice...
At the crossing it stopped for the survey, it left the machine and wrote down the stamp of the tires: GoodYear F1 Racing 215/40 r17. I recommend. The same Mr. shlarb more lately explained that the amazing stability in the trajectory besides the coupling properties of casings is ensured by electronic stabilization system ESP. On the basis of continuous data analysis about the speed, accelerations along the different axes, surface position, ESP nenavyazchivo will slow necessary wheels so that the automobile would remain in the trajectory. And the presence of this system, in his opinion, removes questions about the complete drive, which equipped the modifications Of "opelya of caliber" - predecessor "sleeping compartment Turbo". But I saw road policemen. They in the white "lagoons" and green "terrano II" along the roads stand. But for us, Russians, they covsem are not dangerous.
