A few quick pics of my new garage and car collection. Only if Santa finally comes through.





Here’s a Saab you probably haven’t heard of, doing something it really wasn’t designed for; The Saab 91 Safir (Sapphire) is a single-engined, light aircraft built in Holland. It was used mainly by the Swedish airforce in the ‘fifties and ‘sixties. This particular example is a 91D, meaning it has four seats, and this one had been used for testing radio equipment before it was bought by a chap called David Williams. In 1983, Williams spotted the new Hinstock bypass was being built and decided to fly down it, and under the Pixley Lane bridge. Living locally he walked down and measured up, reckoned his Saab would fit, and stood his Dad on the bridge with a camera to capture his stunt on the day before it opened to traffic. His Dad was too quick with the shutter but a friend got this one, ’80’s quality pic, to prove it happened. And here it is, just a Saab on the bypass ~ motorpunk co uk

I kinda gave up on that thread a little, since it does not meet my expectations anymore..
It should be renamed “mostly beautiful women” imo.
Harsh, I know.

I wish they'd included the pic of the door to see how much of that was cut away. I'm betting they got a little wind and road noise (and rocks and crap inside the door).

TWO WHISTLES’ medicine hawk headdress and painted face were captured by Edward Curtis in 1905 on Montana’s Crow Reservation, southeast of Billings. The raptor’s split hide was attached to the braided-hair topknot. Two Whistles (Ishichoshtupsh) was shot during the Crow Rebellion of 1887, and his left arm was amputated below the elbow.
The Crow identified themselves as Apsáalooke (often “Apsaroke” in early literature), Children of the Large Beaked Bird. The stunning portrait appeared in Volume 4 of Curtis’s monumental 20-volume “The North American Indian.”

I just wonder if that was the inspiration for Tonto in the Lone Ranger movie.

Every time I see pictures such as these I am stunned by the total tonnage of raw material that was used to fight that war.

I always wondered about the source of the Tonto appearance.
