Galimoto yosaka yamagetsi

M'zaka za m'ma 1960, a Beach Boys ankayendetsa ndege. Kusefa ndi masewera atsopano abwino chifukwa anthu obadwa kumene omwe sankasangalala ndi moyo wawo amatsutsa malingaliro akale. Nthawi yoyamba izi zinachitika ndili wachinyamata.
Gawo limodzi lomwe lasintha kwambiri ndi magalimoto. Mabwato akuluakulu a pamtunda a m'ma 50 apita, ndipo nayi Volkswagen Beetle yatsopano, yaying'ono. Anali mpweya wabwino, wolimbikitsa mbadwo watsopano wa opanga kuti alowe nawo chikhalidwe cha hot rod. Ganizirani za kupandukira popanda chifukwa koma ndi utoto wakuda.
Mainjiniya, wojambula komanso katswiri wa zomangamanga za panyanja Bruce Meyers ndi m'modzi mwa opanga mapangidwe otere. Meyers adalakwitsa ndipo adagwiritsa ntchito luso lake lanzeru popanga galimoto yotchuka ya Meyers Manx, yomwe inali yodziwika bwino kwambiri panthawiyo.
Pamodzi ndi Manx panali galimoto yonyamula anthu okwera pamahatchi. Galimoto yoyambirira ya "Old Red" inali ndi thupi la fiberglass monocoque ndi suspension yochokera ku galimoto ya Chevrolet pickup. Kapangidwe konseko kamagwiritsa ntchito Volkswagen Lovesummer yoziziritsidwa ndi mpweya.
Pamene Ferdinand Porsche adapanga Beetle yoyambirira motsogozedwa ndi Hitler, mosadziwa adayika maziko a Buggy. Lingaliro linali kupanga galimoto yodalirika komanso yotsika mtengo yomwe ingayende pa liwiro la 60 mph pamisewu yatsopano yomangidwa. Beetle wamba anali ndi mchimwene wake wankhondo yemwe amadziwika ndi a Nazi kuti Type 82 Kübelwagen ndipo kwa ambiri a ife amatchedwa "The Thing", yomwe imafanana kwambiri ndi Manx.
Old Red inatsimikizira luso la lingaliroli poyenda pamsewu ku Baja Mexico, ndikuyika mbiri ya maola 39 ndi mphindi 56 paulendo wa makilomita 1,000 kuchokera ku Tijuana kupita ku La Paz. Palibe amene anakhulupirira kuti zinali zotheka kupatula oyendetsa njinga zamoto. Kuthamanga kwachangu kumeneku kunasanduka mpikisano womwe timaudziwa masiku ano kuti Baja 1000, mpikisano wovuta kwambiri wakunja kwa msewu ku North America.
Kuyambira mu 1964 mpaka 1971, ntchito za BF Meyers & Co zinali zazifupi komanso zokoma. Chifukwa cha mtengo wokwera komanso zovuta za zida zoyambirira, mitundu yofiira yakale pafupifupi khumi ndi iwiri yokha ndiyo idagulitsidwa. Pamapeto pake, Meyers adasiya kuyimitsidwa kwa Chevrolet, ndikupanga thupi lomwe limagwirizana bwino ndi chimango cha VW chachikhalidwe.
Nthawi yomweyo, zinthuzo zinayamba kupezeka kwa okonda dziko lonselo. Monga bwato, ma curve osalala amapereka kulimba komwe kumafunika kwambiri, pomwe ma arched fenders amapereka malo oti matayala a panja azitha kuyenda. Kaimidwe ka mphaka kanapangitsa kuti dzina lakuti Isle of Man, lomwe limachokera ku mphaka wochepa wofanana.
Buku lakuti The Isle of Man linafika pachimake pa chikhalidwe cha anthu otchuka ndi buku la Steve McQueen lotchedwa Thomas Crown. McQueen anatenga wochita sewero Faye Dunway paulendo wosangalatsa kudutsa m'matanthwe a mchenga ku Massachusetts. Chithunzichi chinalipo mufilimu ya 1968 yokha kuti asonyeze momwe Thomas Crown analili wolimba mtima. Mwachitsanzo, ndinagulitsidwa.
Mu 1970, chigamulo chotsutsana cha khothi chinasintha chilichonse. Woweruza milanduyo adagamula kuti kapangidwe ka Manx sikanali kotetezedwa ndi ufulu wa olemba. Posakhalitsa msika unadzaza ndi zinthu zabodza zotsika mtengo. Ngakhale kuti panali kuyesera kupanga zitsanzo za magulu a akatswiri monga malo opumulirako ndi opulumutsa anthu, BF Meyers & Co. inasiya ntchito zake.
Ngakhale kuti magalimoto oyambirira 6,000 okha ndi omwe anapangidwa, adalimbikitsa mbadwo wonse wa othamanga pamsewu. Mtundu wachitsulo wa tubular umagwiritsa ntchito injini yayikulu ya Corvette m'malo mwa injini yaying'ono ya VW. Akhala gulu la ma ATV mu mpikisano wamakono wa Baja.
Mu 2000 Meyers Manx Inc. inayambiranso. Kampaniyo inatulutsa mtundu wapamwamba kwambiri wa kapangidwe koyambirira ka Meyers, komwe kanali kochokera ku Volkswagen Beetle.
Mu 2023, kampaniyo idayambitsa galimoto yamagetsi ya Manx 2.0, yomwe imayenda mtunda wa makilomita 300. Ndi yoyenera kwambiri ku Hollywood yobiriwira kuposa mafilimu akale oimba nyimbo zofuula. Ngakhale kampaniyo sinakhazikitse mtengo wovomerezeka, amati galimoto yamagetsi ndi ya anthu olemera okhala ndi nyumba zambiri komanso magalimoto ambiri, kotero mukumvetsa lingaliro.
Kwa ine, Meyers Manx yoyambirira inali ndi maloto a ku California. Monga kuphatikiza kwa chikhalidwe cha hot rod ndi mafunde, Manx akuwonetsa zomwe zingachitike ngati uinjiniya ndi luso la zaluso ziphatikizana kukhala mzimu wopanduka.
Timaganizira kwambiri zomwe zili zofunika kwambiri kwa ife: malo omwe timapita, anthu omwe timakumana nawo, zikhalidwe zomwe timakumana nazo, maulendo omwe akuyembekezera aliyense amene akufuna kulowa mu zosadziwika, komanso kupambana kwapadziko lonse pakusunga chilengedwe chifukwa cha mibadwo yamtsogolo.
