1954 Corvette Corvair - Motorama Show Car

The cockpit of Rotar (The Roth Air Car) was a tight fit, especially for its creator Ed Roth. Powered by two Triumph motorcycle engines, and weighing 750 pounds, Rotar was able to hover several inches off the ground. A Roth Studios promotional postcard optimistically claimed “there is a remote possibility that this will be the first car to reach the MOON”.

In 1962, Roth built Rotar (for Roth Air Car), a bubble-topped fiberglass vehicle that, much to the amazement of car-show-goers, was not a car at all, but an aircraft. Rotar hovered on a cushion of air produced by the downdraft of two large fan blades, each of which was powered by a 650cc Triumph motorcycle engine.

I grew up in this house...

My parents bought it for $16,500 in 1963. Their payment was $100 a month for 20 years and they were in it for 32 years. It sold last year to the third family since my parents sold it. The price of the last sale was over $900k.

It's what's for dinner when I'm visiting my professional kindred souls in Aldermaston.

Then to the Hobgoblin...

How did I miss this? My God! I'm being stalked! Reading in England is were I'm based, I have driven passed Sweeney Todds many a time (but I've never tried the pies), I have had a few beers in the Hobgoblin (I assume you mean the Hobgoblin on Broad street? Don't think there are too many other pubs in that area with the same name!) and I've delivered a few items to AWE (Atomic Weapons Establishment) in Aldermaston, fun place getting through the security checks I can tell you!

Both very cool. My first car was a '65 Impala. I've got a soft spot for some of the years. '58-61 and '65 are my favorites.

This alligator was found between Athens and Palestine , Texas near a house.
Game wardens were forced to shoot the alligator- guess he wouldn't cooperate...
Anita and Charlie Rogers could hear the bellowing in the night.
Their neighbors had been telling them that they had seen a mammoth alligator in the
waterway that runs behind their house, but they dismissed the stories as exaggerations.
"I didn't believe it," C! harles Rogers said. Friday they realized the stories were, if anything, understated. Texas Parks and Wildlife game wardens had to shoot the beast. Joe Goff, 6'5" tall, a game warden with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, walks past a 23-foot, 1-inch alligator that he shot and killed in their back yard.
