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

 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

For the write ups of these photos, and so much more, including tools, munitions factories, Canadian museums, great things that were made in US and Canada, and extremely researched written descriptions of inventors and inventions: http://progress-is-fine.blogspot.ca/

I felt the Steampunk desire today, So I watched "Steamboy" and grabbed these screen shots, cool movie, just make sure to select the language options of your native tongue and avoid reading the whole thing

 any movie with a motorwheel can't be bad. A steam powered one is even better.


 Good kid has a runn in with the bad guys trying to steal the plans and prototype his inventor dad and grand dad sent him, and the kid tries to escape, using that motorwheel, gets chased to a locomotive, which gets attacked by a blimp ...

 later the bad guys send out an army of armored soldiers, and this aeronaut
who all are engaging in a war with the british who have these cool old tanks. The time frame is Victorian, and before any vehicles but the trains and tanks.
