Well I never thought I’d feature nail clippers on Silodrome however, design is design and these clippers (or, Klhippers) are tiny little engineering marvels. They’re made from surgical grade stainless steel and you can grab one here for $50.
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.
This is a new one on me, wallets fashioned from a single piece of Walnut wood that can apparently be tucked into a rear pocket and sat on, with no unfortunate consequences.
Jaguar have designed some of the most beautiful cars in history, the XK120, the D-Type, the E-Type and my personal favourite, the XKSS.
What you’re looking at is a pre-war 1924 Bentley 3/8 Litre dubbed the “Hawkeye Special”, the “3/8” number configuration can be a little confusing however all it means is that this is a 3 litre chassis fitted with an 8 litre engine. Rule Britannia.

Okay so from the outset I have 2 problems with the Bicycle Can Cage, firstly, that appears to be Pabst Blue Ribbon sitting in it, a beer which I have tasted and strongly feel is unfit for human consumption.
The classic Jeep Wagoneer is one of those unmistakably American cars, this example is fitted with a V8 and an automatic transmission, sadly the air-conditioning needs a little work…
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.
