Classic Aussie Car Racing

This the best thing I've seen for ages.

Classic Aussie Car racing at its best. See if you can name all the cars.

Notice his wipers lifting at speed; the way he shoots through the pack at the start; his little wave as he passes the Ford Escort and the way he sits on the Charger's tail.

The Pagani Huayra

This could well become one of the most sought after cars - art and technology beautifully defined by designer Horacio Pagani, the father of the 2003 Zonda 5 Roadster.

World's Rarest Automobile - Olds' F88

This is the car that in 1954 could have "killed" the Corvette.

So, Chevrolet, being GM's big sales and profit division, campaigned to GM to "kill" this car.

When Chevy was coming out with its 6-cyl. sports car with its 2-speed "powerglide" transmission and side curtains, here was a sports car from Olds' with a big old V-8 and power windows.

So, GM said "no" to Oldsmobile on building this car.

The world's rarest automobile : a 1954 Concept Oldsmobile Rocket F88 - the only one in existence.

John S. Hendricks (Discovery Communications founder), paid $3.24 million for this 1954 Motorama Dream Car, one of only two, or an unconfirmed three ever created.

After spending decades as a collection of parts stuffed into wooden crates, the F-88 was reassembled.

The F-88 seen here is literally the only car left of its kind and was sold to John and Maureen Hendricks at the prestigious Barrett-Jackson Auto Auction in Scotsdale, Arizona.

The acquisition made automotive history, and is in the cornerstone of the Gateway Colorado Automobile Museum.

A Car invades the Motorcycle space

The Gordon Murray Design T25.





Gordon Murray Design just unveiled their T.25, a vehicle in the "city car" class, or, in other words, it's tiny, at least in comparison to other cars, it's just under 4 feet wide and 8 feet long, smaller than a Smart Car. The British car is powered by a 51 horsepower inline 3 cylinder engine mounted in the rear. The driver is front and center, 2 passengers sit behind. The front section tilts forward for access.

The diminutive size allows backing in to the curb, parking 3 cars in one parallel parking space, a U-turn is under 20 feet. It weighs 1212 pounds and gets 61.9 miles per gallon. This is definitely something that could scoot around in a city with ease and carry more people in less space on the road, easing congestion.

The Falcon Kestrel

This motorcycle won the best Custom at the "Quail Gathering" in May 2010 at Carmel in California.

The Falcon Kestrel is pictured in racing trim - with no head light, tail light or license plate. It is based on a 1970 Triumph .

An exceptionally pretty piece of retro machinery capturing the essence of clean styling.

Buick Streamliner - 1948

This classic Buick Streamliner is in pristine condition, restored by Dave Crouse for the 2010 Concours d'Elegance.

Its original construction took over two years, built with an aluminium body around a steel chassis. Not only is it unlikely you'll ever see this beauty on the road, it's likely that you will never see it on the auction block.

A car like this is too rare, too beautiful for any owner to pass it up - no matter what the price.

Looking at this car we can only lament the direction car design and body aesthetics has gone.

FORD - Production Line

If you like cars this is a great video to see :
