Rocket Espresso Cup
The Rocket Espresso Cup is a great example of how a brilliant industrial designer can take a simple every day product and make it so instantly desirable that people like me would commit highway robbery to own one.
The Waco YMF-5D Biplane
Waco Aircraft are one of those companies that just keeps on, keeping on. Originally founded in 1919 the company built some of the most…
Official NASA Tee by Hank Player
NASA is possibly the coolest organisation in human history. It saddens me to see the shuttle program put in mothballs and the only saving grace is that I know the Orion project is just around the corner.

1958 Lincoln Continental Mark III Convertible
The 1958 Lincoln Continental Mark III Convertible is one of those cars that I can’t help but love, it’s widely regarded as the largest unibody car ever made and at 229 inches (5,817 mm) long and 80.1 inches (2,035 mm) wide, it’s hard to imagine anyone making anything bigger (other than a Lexington class aircraft carrier).

Speedbird
The site LeContainer is possibly the best source of stunning mechanised imagery that you’ll find anywhere. This photograph is a great example of their regular faire…
Gilera 150 Sport
The Gilera 150 Sport is one of those old motorcycles that acts like a persistent testament to what designers can accomplish if left alone and not subjected to focus-groups.
