Reason to want a Camaro, number one

The hoods aren't that heavy... Thank you Megan for demonstrating

Bruce Willis with a 68 El Camino, a 69 Camaro he's chasing, and music that's growing on me

Cool photography site, Spirited Drive tumbler

You don't see many action shots of good muscle Mustangs

Ferrari 330 P4

Enzo and someone important one supposes, (Bear knew it was Sir Alec Issigonis, who among other things designed the Mini ) and that answers my question of why have your photo taken with a mini when you are Enzo Ferrari

James Cagney's 1934 V12 Auburn on ebay (not gonna sell I bet)

the write up and auction: Jimmy Cagney's 1934 Auburn via the very cool website http://www.bangshift.com/blog/eBay-Find-Jimmy-Cagney-s-1934-Auburn-Cabriolet.html

They want $300,000, I doubt anyone is going to want it that bad. Cagney made a movie with it, and it's a great car, but when you tie up a 1/3rd of a million dollars, and it's not a good investment in light of car values having lost the crazy auction prices brought on by speculative real estate imaginary values.

LUCILLE! "C'mon safety pin.. POP!"

John Lennon's Psychedelic 1965 Rolls Royce

a better gallery of it can be seen here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/21109658@N00/106322715

The inspiration for the design came from Marijke Koger, one of the design collective ‘The Fool’ who were responsible for numerous seminal pieces of the period and were very influential in the psychedelic art movement. Marjke states in an email to me “I was staying at John’s house in 68 [she miss-states the date!] to paint his piano and he had a painted gypsy wagon in is garden. I suggested to him that he paint the Rolls like the gypsy wagon, which he thought was a great idea...”

It sold for a record sum of $3,006,385 at a Sotheby's auction in New York in 1985 to Jim Pattison, a Canadian. Later, as an act of kindness, Pattison offered the car to the queen of England. Today, it can be found on display at the Royal British Columbia Museum in Victoria. http://obviousmag.org/en/archives/2008/07/john_lennons_psychedelic_rolls_royce.html#ixzz0fNz8kmVa

Dual Ghia in the classifieds, and Hoagy Carmichael was selling it

More on Dual Ghia's later, but quickly, they were Chrysler Fire Arrow's offspring, built in Italy the slow way, by hand, and imported for sale into America by the Dual Motors company which had been making military vehicles during WW2.

But what caught my eye was Hoagy. John Lennon called Hoagy his favorite songwriter.
Hoagy had composed a lot of great stuff and lived for decades on the royalties. Georgia On my Mind (famous for Ray Charles), Stardust(famous for Bing Crosby), and my fun favorite: the 1943 song "I'm a Cranky Old Yank in a Clanky Old Tank on the Streets of Yokohama with my Honolulu Mama Doin' Those Beat-o, Beat-o Flat-On-My-Seat-o, Hirohito Blues"

Yeah, the stuff that clanks around in my head waiting for something to loose it, no wonder I can't recall a thing, too many odd bits already have filled my memory ability to absorb anything new.

1930 FN, made to order for the Shah of Persia

The 1930 FN Type 1400 was a Belgian car made at the request of the Shah of Persia.
Ordered in 1912 but because of the war, it could not be delivered. The body was later transferred to a 1930 chassis and finished using hand-carved wood and lots of aluminum
