the tank bike, a 1943 NSU Kettenkrad that drove to the Lyon Air Musuem

 the above Panther was made in 1937, the below Harley was made in 1921

both the above and below are 1943 NSU Kettenkrad HK 101s

Cool things found in the blog "Progress is fine, but it's gone on for too long"

 Beer run! Filling up belly tanks with beer for the guys that just stormed the beach at Normandy

 probably looks like any old tank at first, but then, did you see that there are 4 tracks? Not the usual two

 Peter Sellers

 yup, it's a real Bugatti, factory racer

 amphib plane, stored in a hanger because getting it flying would take 2 fortunes and a winning mega millions lotto ticket

the 1936 Henderson before the restoration http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/07/1936-henderson-at-rhinebeck-grand.html

 a new image of the Count de Sakhnoffsky designed been truck, and this is a info card that was handed out at the trucks display... front above, and the reverse side below . For the gallery: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/09/extraordinary-designer-of-automotive.html

 terrific album cover art

 the cat tracks added onto the tractor give it so much more traction

a wheel pattern only used on Canadian trains, it looked familiar to me, and I remembered the train at the Nethercutt museum http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/05/private-pullman-palace-railcar-century.html

early twenties Dodge with crawler modification

for more, check back now and then at http://reservatory6.blogspot.com/ because he doesn't post often, but it's cool stuff when he does

the wide variety of cool car stuff I found on The Kevin Chen . wordpress.com

 the above is incredible timing by the photographer. Astonishing.

 Wow. Has training wheels, cause it weighs so much you ain't gonna be able to pick it up when it falls over

 all righty. This is the most overkill of the flying tigers motif, but I like it, it works.

 Dead on. Nailed it.

 If you wonder why the above is interesting, look at a Veyron

 1962 Indianapolis car of Lesovsky

 Photoshopped, but bitchin

 cause yes, smoking is deadly, but still looks cool

 The reason the engine is displayed, is the photo on the wall behind it, of the racing boat

 this looks like fun actually

 yeah, the bike takes a second to work out... but it's revolutionary.

 Soooo happy days

 Grrrr

 Solex motor scooter coverted to hubless rims... now that is a lot of time on an inventors hands.

 Not photoshopped.... but unreal. I don't have answers, just freaky photos

 Oklahoma state troopers seized this Busa, then said screw it, we need to see how long it takes for a cop to kill himself on it. Seriously you morons, it's a 200 mph suicide machine... you have radios, lots of cops for back up, and probably even telephones, and helicopters. You don't need to chase the bad guys at 200mph. Or even at 100mph. Use your brains while their inside the helmet, not splattered on the back of a semi trailer

 Yup, if the town has a name, that name in front of the word "Police" is going to sound funny to everyone who doesn't live there

 Ride the goat.

 Steve McQueen's Siata interior, and Tag Heuers

ummm, rubbbing is racing even when it's not at a Nascar event?

All from the very enormous diversity and eminently enjoyable http://thekevinchen.wordpress.com/
