A hot , violent wind....Maserati Khamsin

Some time back I’ve got an invitation from a friend, to attend for a rally that was organized by Italian car owners club of Sri Lanka. So I went to ‘Katu’ equipped with my camera hoping to capture some Italian beauties. When I was rolled in, there were several cars; most of them were Alfa Romeo s. But the main attraction was this Maserati Khamsin. It was a real beauty, parked along with several Fiats, Alfa Romeos and of course with Aravinda’s Ferrari.

After came home I started surfing to find more about this Beauty. The facts I found out was amazing.

The Maserati Khamsin (named after the Khamsin, a hot, violent wind in the Egyptian desert) was a sports car introduced in 1974 by Italian automaker Meserati.

SPECIFICATIONS
Engine Type: V-eight, Capacity: 4930cc, Power: 320bhp at 550rpm, Transmission: 5 speed manual, Top Speed: 153 mph (246 kmph).

Production of the Khamsin ended in 1980. There were only 421 cars were manufactured.
Yeh…there were only 421 cars.
WOW…. There’s a one in Sri Lanka and I got a chance to capture some photographs of it!

To all the lefty’s out there….

While I was surfing the internet last night, just came across this list of famous left handers. Being a lefty by my self it was kinda interesting to see all of these famous names. (Including Paul McCartney)

“Left-handed people play guitar or electric bass in one of three ways: (1) play a right-handed guitar right-handed, (2) play a true left-handed instrument (or a right-handed instrument that has been altered to play left-handed, i.e. with the bass strings on top), or (3) turn a right-handed guitar upside down, pick with the left hand, but leave the strings as they were — which makes them reversed from the normal order for a left-handed player.”

But mine it’s a different story. For some reason even though I’m a left hander, I play right handed guitar right handed. Hmm…wonder why…!
