Intriguing variety of cool photographs on Le Container

Above, the Purple People Eater

Awesome photo, going vertical just a split second after lifting off the ground, that is power

Look close at the wheel hub and you'll see that the above is a VW

Clever use of wheels!

The above are just models

dreams start young

surprising things in the Jesada Technik Museum in Nakhonphathom, Thailand

Looks like a coal burning conversion, I've never seen one before, but I have seen a wood burning truck conversion for the cold climates of Russia

I believe the above is a Tempo Matador

I recall posting about the above 2 wheel drive bike before, it is a Rokon, the rims are hollow gas tanks, the Rokon website is http://rokon.com/about/index.htm

Ugly nose, but cool trailer

Not sure if this is a Tempo Matador, but it looks like one that has had the hand made wooden door and bed treatment

looks like one of the cargo planes from the 1950's like they flew in the movie "Air America"

See a couple of galleries of all the bikes, scooters, and cars at the Jesada on the http://6nicestpeople9.blogspot.com/

Last post of the day, a couple interesting photos from Le Container blogspot, things I wish I had one of

Some designer was smoking something and staring at manta rays too long befgor ehe drew up this thing. I still want it.

Looks like another fun thing at the Burning Man

Both photos from http://lecontainer.blogspot.com/

the 1929 Caproni Ca.90, a six-engined inverted sesquiplane. In 1929 it was the largest aircraft in the world, it held that record until 1934

A six-engined inverted sesquiplane designed as a heavy bomber, read more about it and see a couple more photos at: http://dieselpunks.blogspot.com/2010/07/italian-giant.html

It's that rare occasion when I found an image, and knew that the object is in a local musuem... The Ryan X-13

Ryan x-13, possibly the only vertical launch, and vertical landing aircraft. How they landed that ono it's hook to tower.. I'm sure ground control must have helped instructions

I can't recall where I found the above image

Above image is with the aircraft in the museum

If you want to see a really cool museum, of aircraft, spacecraft, and a lot of cool WW1 planes, next time you are traveling in San Diego, go to the San Diego Air and Space Museum in Balboa Park

Melisaki.tumbler.com has a cool variety of car and aircraft photos, here's a couple

1910 Fiat S76, the beast of turin, 28.3 liter engine

Cord 810 & Norwegian figure skater Sonja Henie 1936

What happened to the high level of restroom cleanliness as the high priority? Former First lady Eleanor Roosevelt once toured the US inspecting them, and that is quite a feat of publicity!

Duct tape, the wonder tool!

During a private "fly-in" fishing excursion in the Alaskan wilderness, the chartered pilot and fishermen left a cooler and bait in the plane. And a bear smelled it. This is what he did to the plane

The pilot used his radio and had another pilot bring him 2 new tires, 3 cases of duct tape, and a supply of sheet plastic. He patched the plane together, and FLEW IT HOME! Thanks Mike for emailing me this! For more photos of the bear damage and what seems to be the source of the photos http://www.armyparatrooper.org/dropzone/showthread.php/22477-The-Many-uses-of-Duct-Tape-in-Alaska

A variety of cool stuff from Fantomatik75 blogspot

Never seen a primitive street sweeper before? Me neither

1936 Chicago, why aren't these viable parking stuctures now?

Looks like a knife sharpener, door to door, and probably early 1910's or 1920's

Unknown type of classic pre-1920's
