truck driving WTF moment

ran when parked... Spanish variant of the Messerschmitt, looking for a new home.




last used in a 1965 movie, and now ready to make the current owners wealthy as hell.

Factoria Circula, performing in the Rodafonio, the coolest thing you're going to see all year, that isn't at SEMA (cause who knows right?!)






a Catalan music band and this is their original performance/vehicle "Rodafonio."

The music is what they call "Pilu Spagnolo" which is a Spanish (Spagnolo) twist to melodic Indian classical music (Pilu).

The three musicians are swapped out - in one video there is a trombone player instead of a saxophone.

Cesar Alvarez built the "weapon of joy" device (rodafonio) in 2010.

Here's their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/factoria.circular?fref=ts

Thanks Steve!

Mopar ads for 1926 Chrysler and Dodge cars




When's the last time you heard of a Chrysler 58 or 70? And I don't think I've heard of a Dodge Model A

a replica of the type 57 tank... since the only real one remaining is to valuable to the museum's insurance company that owns it, it's never going to see the track again.
