Veloce, while small, was a great technical innovator and many of its patented designs are commonplace on motorcycles today, including the positive-stop foot shift and swinging arm rear suspension with hydraulic dampers............

Veloce Ltd. closed in February 1971.

The record-breaking Guzzino
The record-breaking Guzzino | Italian Ways

Quote:
Easy to drive and weighing in at only 45 kilograms, the Guzzino – with the addition of a fairing to reduce drag – was also a great vehicle for sport competitions and record-breaking performances. In 1948, on the road between Charrat and Saxon in Switzerland, it set the world speed record over the kilometer and the mile; later in the same year, it set another 19 records at Monza’s racetrack.

The Guzzino kept going faster and faster as the years went by. It was restyled more than once, finally coming close to resembling a rocket: pilots had to ride in a position known as “the frog”, with their knees around the fairing that protected the chain, and their feet on the foot boards on the back of the frame.

They must use Munchkins or Oompa Loompas to work on those things, sort of 5/8 scale humans!

Meet The World’s First AWD Porsche 356 Coupe
https://carbuzz.com/news/meet-the-world-s-first-awd-porsche-356-coupe

Quote:
When it comes to Porsche restomods, Singer may have already set the standard to beat, but Emory Motorsports has created something truly unique that deserves your attention. It’s called the Allrad, which marries the beautiful bodywork of a vintage 356 Coupe with the chassis of a 911. The result is the world’s first all-wheel-drive Porsche 356.

The project was commissioned by a customer who wanted to drive to East Coast ski areas in the winter. This led to Emory Motorsports combining a 1964 Porsche 356C body with an all-wheel-drive 1990 911 C4 chassis........................

This is one of the airplanes that was involved in the collision near Ketchikan, Alaska yesterday. Randy flew us on a charter with it 6 years ago. So sad.
