Petrolicious found this and used it to get my attention... I must compliment them (well, I do, often) for an EFFECTIVE method of getting attention by using a Tony Kelly image, he is quite the imaginative and enjoyable photographer








Proof it's not all Ferrari! Nice to see a Fairlane/Torino in the collection! 

By the way, a good time to bring up the difference between photography and porn, a bare butt ain't porn. No pink parts, then it ain't porn. 

I can't imagine how he can afford the set ups for the scenes, the amount of rental cost, for helicopters, sports cars, mobs of beautiful models, it's quite amazing

interesting photo from Airstream's facebook page, a bas relief of Shapur I, who triumphed over the Roman emperor Valerian, in Iran, in 260 CE... the first time a reigning Roman emperor was captured alive in battle (photo from 1964)


In the summer of 1964, an American caravan arrived in Iran with its ambitious “Around the World” tour. Although founder Wally Byam (inventor of the travel trailer) had passed away earlier, his dream of global overland travel lived on through this extraordinary journey.

One unforgettable stop brought the caravan to Naghsh e Rostam, the ancient necropolis near Shiraz, Iran, dating back to around 1000 BC. Here, travelers stood before millennia of history carved in stone, including the relief of Shapur I’s triumph over the Roman emperor Valerian.

The Battle of Edessa (260 CE) was a dramatic encounter between empires, where the Persian king defeated and captured the Roman ruler, a moment which echoes +1750 years later as modern voyagers stay in awe of this timeless site.
