Porsche 550 Spyder Cutaway
The level of spatial awareness needed to hand draw a cutaway like this, a work by Shin Yoshikawa, blows my mind.

Goldeneye Aston Martin vs Ferrari Chase
I still rate Goldeneye as one of the best of the modern Bond films, I know that’s a big claim but I think the Brosnan Bond movies got a little carried away towards the end with Die Another Day being a hideous travesty that I still think should be recalled, stockpiled and napalmed.
James Dean and the Little Bastard
The Porsche 550 Spyder is right near the top of my “must-have” list. Sadly, the prohibitive costs involved are probably going to make that impossible however I do have my eye on some of the modern 550s built by companies like Beck Speedster.
Mystery Racer
We received this photo in the email inbox yesterday from a Silodrome reader, he wanted some more information on the car but we’re all stumped.

1958 Rolls-Royce “Honeymoon Express”

Brütsch Mopetta
The Brütsch Mopetta is an interesting historical curiosity, only 14 of the microcars were ever made and even though there were some negations with Opel, nothing came of the talks and the car, sadly, never saw a production run.
Mille Miglia – The Spirit of a Legend
This great little documentary, called Mille Miglia – The Spirit of a Legend, centres around the modern Mille Miglia with countless references and clips of…
Mercedes 300SL Rally
I’d be smiling ear to ear as well if I was belting around a mountain in the go seat of a dusty Mercedes 300SL.
Caterham Roadsport
The Caterham 7 is one of my top “must have” cars, the company used to be a kit car company producing the official, modern version of the classic Lotus 7 however in recent times they’ve gone from strength to strength and now own their own Formula 1 team.
1964 Porsche 904 GTS
The Porsche 904 GTS was originally released in 1964 as a successor to the type 718, the 904 GTS was a huge step forward from a technology perspective and has a long list of race wins to prove it.
