Seems I can't find the photos now but I used to get an 8'6" surfboard in the passenger seat of my Miata quite easily when I lived in Encinitas.

Saw this guy in a local gas station in Texas. It was one of the smallest cars I've seen. There was also a Haynes manual in the back for 1959-1975 minis and a plastic bin full of spare parts.

drat. That must sound great. An F40 purred past me down a country lane at 40mph the other day (outside a pub) and although it sounded amazing, it was like the potential noise that you knew was there that was exciting. Really hoped the driver would open it up and let us hear it.

Happiness is a warm
Turbo Plasma Rifle


Saw that these awesome trucks were featured on Jalopnik, the Berliet T100s:




Only four were built, one of them in a cabover configuration with sleeping accomodation. All were powered by 29.6L Cummins V12 diesels with either 600hp or 700hp. One of them had a turbine engine put in as an experiment, but the fuel mileage was so bad that they went back to the diesel. The coolest bit is that the power steering motor was a complete Panhard engine, talk about boosted power steering. They were built for serious offroad use in the drilling and mining industries and were the biggest trucks in the world at the time, in the 1950s.

DARKEST SKETCH
I mentioned a while ago about helping out a friend of mine put a 1965 Mustang together for his son, some progress has happened since then:



The mildly built 302/C4 have found their way in.


Steering/Suspension and brakes on both the front and rear are done. The wheels are temporary rollers for now.
The pictures I took of the rear end turned out terribly due to space and lighting issues, I'll see what I can do about that in the near future. My apologies.



And now the next phase of fun can begin, that's just the first harness! :unsmith:

That's a sport quatto! :eng101:

That actual car has something like 700hp and weighs in at maybe slightly more than a unicorn poop. It was also converted from a regular UrQuattro to a sport quattro. I want to do that conversion one day :allears:

All i really learned is that the porsche 911 is stupidly comfortable for a 6'9" tall man. Waaaaaaaay too many people think they're professional photographers, and every single one of them is completely oblivious of their surroundings.

This was from a car show that I entered my '64 Impala in a few weeks ago. This is my brother (On the ground) making fun of all the people at the car show that think they are pro-photographers (Yes, he is holding a camera-phone):

This really needs to happen. Really really needs to happen.

I would immediately sell all of my motorcycles for one of those. Without a second thought.

I can't think of anything else with four wheels that I might have even the slightest chance of being able to afford inspiring that thought. Four wheels moves the body, two wheels whatever and all that, blah blah. Yes it's less practical than a Miata, and I'm sure it's slower than a lot of things. The eco in ecoboost is probably a joke, though maybe not. Who cares.

They say it gets 57mpg at a steady highway speed. That's quite impressive, at least to me.

... of course, I'm sure it gets much lower numbers if you drive it with some spirit, but smiles per gallon is certainly far higher.
