Vespa Racing
These 2 photographs show a slightly usual Vespa race on the roof of the famous Fiat Factory in Turin, Italy.
Moto Guzzi by Staghead Moto
Nick Huber is a talented chap, we’ve featured his work on Silodrome before with a story on his beautiful Ducati 900 GTS a few months ago and so it was with great interest that I opened an email from Nick last week containing pictures of his newest creation, a Moto Guzzi in the spirit of the early ’70s Moto Guzzi V7 Sport.
Retro Racer Tee
This fantastic retro tee from Ahbe Racer is exactly the sort of thing I’d wear whilst kicking around the garage on a Sunday afternoon, each shirt is made from 100% Combed Cotton…
Citroën Concorde
It’s deeply saddening to me that the Concorde is no more, we lost a lot more than machines when the Concordes were retired, it was like losing the Space Shuttle or the Apollo space program.
1987 WRC Rally Portugal
This brilliant 25 minute film covers the classic 1987 WRC Rally Portugal including interviews with the drivers and some fantastic racing footage.
White Heather I
White Heather I was a sailing vessel built at the turn of the 20th century, she’s a stunning boat and represents a pinnacle of not just aesthetic marine design, but of design in general.
Lamborghini Cheetah
The Lamborghini Cheetah was a one-off prototype developed by Lamborghini in 1977, they were hoping for a US Military contract however their prototype was destroyed by the Americans during testing.
Temple Vibes
This captivating 2 minute video was shot by the talented Yuji from Japan, he was in Bali visiting the Deus Bali “Temple of Enthusiasm”…
H6 Boxer Engine
The boxer engine configuration is a remarkable looking mechanical thing, this is an H6 unit from a Subaru and there’s just something mesmerising about those cam chains and the paths they run inside the engine.
Grumman FM-2 Wildcat
The Grumman FM-2 Wildcat is one of the most widely loved warbirds produced during the second world war, the staggering toughness of the plane saw it survive merciless attack at the hands of the faster and more manoeuvrable Japanese A6M Zero.
Dime City Cycles “Speed Freaks” Tee
Dime City Cycles is a store for people who build their own motorcycles, they stock all the parts you need to take a stock motorcycle and turn it into a cafe racer, bobber, tracker or anything else you might fancy.
Vintage Computing
In the days before Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and even Silodrome, computers were a lot better looking. Though they didn’t have solitaire installed and it wasn’t yet possible to look at pictures of naked women on them. Not all progress is bad I guess.
