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.

Deus Ex Machina has a refreshingly heretical approach to cafe racer building, this bike is one of their latest creations and you can tell at a glance that it’s a signature, antipodean cafe belter.
Old Empire Motorcycles is a brilliant little boutique garage based in Norfolk, England. They’re fairly new and this is their first publicly available custom motorcycle, it’s been dubbed “The Pup” in memory of the infamous WWI fighter plane, the Sopwith Pup.

Cafe Racer & The City was directed and filmed by the talented Alexander Khudokon in 2011, I have a soft spot for well made videos like this although I always feel like they just need a script in order to be made into a feature film.
Hugh Ferriss is one of those people whose work we’re all familiar with but whose name most of us don’t know.
There aren’t many cars in the world more famous than the Ford GT40, the car pictured here is a Ford GT40 Series I which is one of only 31 road cars made. This is chassis P/1059 and it’s generally recognised as being the lowest mileage Series I in the world having covered just 4,749 miles from new, not surprisingly it has a 7 figure value currently estimated at between $2,300,000 – $2,700,000 USD.
Bristol is possibly the most British of the British marques, the company is almost certainly the most eccentric car maker in the world and despite this, or maybe because of it, they were in business from 1945 until 2011.
