this and that, from here-there-and I don't know where

How is this bike able to get air into the engine?

Earrrly air plane. one step newer than a Gyrocopter I think

1912 Senate monorail

B-26 with serious heavy wing damage and a lot of bullet holes, it made a safe belly landing. The hydraulics were effed by straffing bullets, and so were the back up hand cranks to get the wheels down. Coming back to base after a raid on Tunisia in 1943. 200,000 planes were lost in WW2, the greatest use of aircraft in war this planet will ever have known.

Tribute hot rod dedicated to POW MIA Robert Rodriguez, Master Technician, US Air Force

tribute to WW2 fighting men, the women, and the cars they left behind

Even put a Rat Fink on the license plate... cool. But behind that is an ammo can, and above, a good brake light

If you enjoy variety, and old cars... dive into Antigosverdeamarelo.blogspot.com (Former Green Yellow) from Brazil... wow

A Military Police Willys in Brazil in the 1950's I guess

a Humber 12/20 photograph from 1911... wow,. I've never seen a Humber

and to blow my mind, a gallery of photos from the Robert Lee Museum! The Robert Lee Museum is one I've posted about a couple times, but nothing lately, Robert Lee was killed in 1975, the museum closed in 1993. The cars were pilfered, vandalised, and neglected for 18 rainy years. See more about the abandoned museum:http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/search/label/Robert%20Lee
