Indian Railcar
This is one of those images that I know nothing about but love anyway. We seem to be looking at an Indian motorcycle that’s been converted to run a small one man railcar, probably used by an engineer to check lines.
Photography
Blonde Mud Racer
Some photos are just perfect. This one has the smile, the hair, the bike, the helmet, the mud and the boots. Love it.
DKW Lady
No matter what you happen to look like, never let anyone tell you you shouldn’t be riding a motorcycle and smiling.
High Bar Handling
There’s something about this photo that just makes me smile. The blasé body language of the guy on the right just does it for me.
Lady Motorcyclist
I just love the look of this motorcycle, the cylindrical fuel tank, the air-cooled thumper, the swept back handlebars and that fantastic front suspension.
The Flying Merkel Lady
“The Flying Merkel” has to be one of the greatest names ever given to a motorcycle manufacturer, in fact I can’t think of one better.
Elizabeth
As a guy with solid British heritage I think it only fitting to mention the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee this week, this is a post-WWII photograph of then Princess Elizabeth with her favourite corgi, sitting in what I think is a Rolls-Royce.
Sepia SeeSaw
I’m going to need someone to explain, or try to explain, what the hell is going on in this picture. Click the image for the large size.
Steam Trunk
After seeing this picture I’ve realised that we need to bring back steam trains. I’ve also realised that the Beetle used to be a very popular car.
Bugatti Barn Find
The barn find is a dream held by many, some men spend their entire lives driving around the country, visiting old widows and creaking open doors to long forgotten garages in the hope that as their eyes adjust to the darkness, they’ll see something just like this.
Mercedes Pit Stop
I love the argument that the two men on the left side of the picture are having. I assume he was saying something along the lines of “What the hell do you mean we only have 3 spare wheels?”
Mary ‘Hurricane’ Guthrie
Mary Guthrie flew Hurricanes on transport missions during the second world war, although she never saw combat she was widely considered to be a highly capable pilot by all her knew her.
