Number 5000

This is my 5000th post, and it took 38 months to post that many. I plan to go through the archives and recap my favorites, there have been some remarkable things I don't want to forget, and hope to encourage some of you to take a look back through some really cool stuff because I'm sure that nobody has looked through 3 years and 5000 posts.

Isolation in remote islands keeps old vehicles around in great numbers, like Cuba. But did you hear about the Maltese busses?

a commentor says "by March 2011, sadly most of them will come to end when the proposed transport reform takes place in the coming year.
You can help to save the Malta Buses by signing the petition below:

Beautiful train photo

WW2 railgun, effing huge!

Don't recall where I got this from

Drag racing Cobra, early, looks like a '64, on of the Cobras equipped with Shelby American Dragonsnake parts

Can't recall where I got the image, but this is the Costilow and Larsen Cobra that won the 1965 US Nationals, CSX2093

Just a thing of beauty, the colors, the history, the factory race cars
