This 1971 Triumph Trail Blazer looks to me to be just about the perfect weekend warrior, the single cylinder 250 never really caught on when it was released in 1971 and so now they’re quite rare and tend to be viewed as collectibles.
The love of handmade tools is something many of us share, this short film by John Neeman Tools is an excellent look into what it takes to make an axe from scratch – including the handle and dual-density axe head.
This is the Rodriguez Field Jacket, it’s a limited edition jacket designed to reference the past and future of the luxury Bergdorf Goodman label.
Racing helmets are one of those things that require a little in the way of exotic paint, with most open-cockpit racing formulas the only part of the driver that’s visible outside the car is the driver’s helmet, which means that a lick of unique helmet paint is the only way for a driver to stand out from his competitors on the track.
These extraordinary images were taken in 1919 on the beach at Hastings in Surrey, the submarine is a WWI model designated SM U-118 – she was being towed to France to be scrapped when the tow cable snapped during a storm.

This 6oz pewter flask is handmade in England by Sir Jacks, it has a brightly polished exterior and a captive screwtop so you never lose the lid.
The Honda GB250 is a motorcycle that lives very close to my heart, I have one that I use almost daily and despite the fact that I initially bought it to spend “6 months or so” learning how to ride in Hong Kong (it’s a big change from England and Australia) I still own it and love it almost 4 years later.
The Endeavour was the last of the shuttles to be made and was set to be the last shuttle to be launched until a last minute change of plans saw Atlantis take the honours.
This is the Streetmaster by Champions Moto, it’s a flat-tracker-extraordinaire and I’m yet to show it to anyone without having them instantly ask me what it is and how they can either buy it or build one just like it.
This Dusenberg is an ’35 SJ Convertible Coupé with coachwork by Walker-LaGrande, it has a 320hp, 420 cubic inch DOHC i-line 8-cylinder engine with centrifugal supercharger, a 3-speed manual transmission…
The Fender Stratocaster was originally designed in 1954 by Leo Fender, George Fullerton, and Freddie Tavares. Interestingly, it was originally intended to be a guitar for country musicians but in the intervening 59 years it’s been used in every genre from rock n’ roll to jazz with some death-metal thrown in for good measure.
