Racing Messerschmitts!





Thanks to "A Unionist" for the video link! You don't have email on your profile, so I couldn't thank you properly, but I sure appreciate this video!

Have you seen anything uglier than this Mercer Cobra?

2011 Volvo C70 redesigned

The new C70 includes a redesigned front end, new rear LED lamps, and a redesigned, wider instrument panel. The engine and transmission remain the same as before. It went on sale in early 2010, as a 2011 model in North America.

1954 Monza program, many thanks to Tris and her Dad, Newt, for letting me borrow this to share with you






This is a cool little van thing, I don't remember if I've seen a name for it, but the bottle opener is a cool touch

Thanks to JohnDandy and Asterics for recognizing it as a Tempo Matador! I should have remembered it, but my memory is so bad, you are looking at it, if I need to recall something I look in this blog for it. Ain't that ridiculous?

Tim confirmed that this is a Tubonique, and the cover photo from Mechanics Illustrated, Feb 1969 http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2007/05/click-on-all-pictures-to-enlarge-them.html
