Snowy Saab
I love Saabs, I was devastated when the company went under although I do secretly suspect that someday, we’ll see Saab rise again. Until then, here’s picture to cheer us all up.

Hardtail Airlines
I shudder to think what happened to this bike and rider on landing. I like to think that he landed it like a boss and came around for a second run, but I doubt it.

I’ve heard rumours of balloon tires being used on WWII motorcycles in North Africa…

The inset text reads “A scout suddenly discovering the enemy flops his cycle to return fire with his Sub-Tommy Gun. Fort Knox, Kentucky, 1942.”
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.

This is possibly the best shot of Frank I’ve ever seen. If, like me, you’ve ever wondered what it looks like to win at life, now we know.

Marcel Renault was the co-founder of the automaker that bears his name to this day, he used to build and race his own cars before a tragic accident in the 1903 Paris-Madrid Race.
Vintage Flat Trackers
There’s something about classic flat tracker motorcycles that makes me deeply happy, the chap in this photograph in the lead is wearing the coolest boots, jacket and helmet I’ve seen in a long while.
Porsche 911 Factory
This breathtaking photograph of Porsche’s Stuttgart factory, I’m not a 911 expert but I’d guess it was taken in the late ’60s or very early ’70s. I’ll take a red one.
