Dumper Oil Tanks

It handles like an office desk rolling down a hill, it doesn't have a radio, heater or safety glass in any of its windows, and it's so loud you have to shout to be heard when driving. But Steve Rossi's 1924 Ford Model T Coupe is a gas.

It handles like an office desk rolling down a hill, it doesn't have a radio, heater or safety glass in any of its windows, and it's so loud you have to shout to be heard when driving. But Steve Rossi's 1924 Ford Model T Coupe is a gas. "I use it all year round," he says. "I take it to the dump, I take it to the grocery store. It drives great in the snow, too, believe it or not.

I've journeyed from Manhattan to Rossi's Connecticut home to behold his vintage T, and we're joined by Model T expert Ralph Hermann, who has brought along his own 1915 T Roadster, an open-air job known as a "flivver." There the two rolling time capsules are parked, still ready for action after, respectively, 87 and 96 years. Almost.

As Hermann explains the fine points of the coupe, his voice is drowned by the sound of the engine as Rossi cranks it to life and the ride sits there bouncing up and down like the characters in a Max Fleischer Popeye cartoon. I poke my nose in the passenger window; it reeks of oil.

Astrolabe Reef with its caves, valleys and deep drop-off teems with life. It's magical under the ocean and all around. A rare blue whale, the world's biggest species, passed by recently with her calf alongside.

Europeans called the area the Bay of Plenty for good reason and early Maori named it Tauranga, which is interpreted as a place to anchor in sheltered waters.

The port has grown to be the country's biggest and, with tourists drawn by the sun and sand, it is the economic lifeblood for a region nourished by the ocean.

The early hours. It's the captain's birthday and stars are visible in a partly cloudy sky as the 236m Rena motors at full speed towards the port.

Scientists returning from a preliminary ?spring cleaning? expedition to Franz Josef Land on Thursday said they had counted about 400,000 fuel barrels and 700 tanks of gasoline and lubricants scattered across the archipelago ? many of which have leaked after years of exposure to the harsh Arctic climate.

Atomflot, a subsidiary of Rosatom that runs Russia?s nuclear-powered ice-breaker fleet, told the station that all of its vessels might be needed to escort commercial ships along the northern sea route between Europe and Asia.

Ive driven a 2012 Ford Focus from Manhattan to Rossis Connecticut home to behold, inspect and drive his vintage T.  Were soon joined by Model T expert Ralph Hermann driving his 1915 T Roadster, an open-air job known as a flivver.  There the two rolling time capsules are parked, still ready for action after, respectively, 87 and 96 years. Almost.

As Hermann explains the fine points of the coupe, his voice is drowned by the sound of the engine as Rossi cranks it to life and the ride sits there bouncing up and down like the characters in a Max Fleischer Popeye cartoon.  I poke my nose in the passenger window; it reeks of oil.

He shuts off the engine and lets me try cranking it up. Shove it in at 7 o’clock and hold it tight in there with your thumb, otherwise it could snap back and break your hand,” he says.
