Thought some of you might appreciate this video. Pretty wild.

I've always loved this S7. The proportions and styling are just perfection. And how about that startup and rev. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2P8dASjMDM

Rolling art. The Gullwing gets all the attention, but the Roadster is so beautiful. And the Fire Engine Red paint is perfect.

A car that helped define the modern supercar era. Rare, beautiful, and still one of the most special Ferraris ever built. Absolutely love the profile of this gem.

Today's F1 meme.

🤣

Every week it seems like there's a new EV brand/manufacturer. Here's a new take: Amble One. Street legal open Air EV for short trips. Kind of a cool concept. It'll be interesting to see if this actually comes to fruition and gets adoption. https://driveamble.com/pages/amble-one

This bumper sticker. 🤣

I recently came across the story of Audi Tradition commissioning restoration experts Crosthwaite and Gardiner to recreate the streamlined Auto Union record car that was used for speed record attempts near Lucca, Italy, in 1935. The original machine was an incredible piece of engineering for its day, with a smooth aluminum body that completely enclosed the wheels and gave it a shape that looked more like an aircraft than a race car. Every curve served a purpose, helping the car cut through the air at a time when aerodynamic design was still a relatively new concept. Looking at it today, it’s easy to see why the car seemed so futuristic. It captured the spirit of an era when engineers and drivers were constantly chasing higher speeds and willing to experiment with bold new ideas to get there. Pretty cool!

Lol.

RIP to the legend Chuck Norris. May his memes live on.

Today in History: February 18, Dale Earnhardt Sr. dies in Daytona crash.

For Ferrari V12 lovers: how about a 2.0L supercharged V12? This is the ex Froilan Gonzalez Ferrari 166 FL at Goodwood Festival of Speed a few years back. That sound is pure early Ferrari magic. Can you imagine getting to drive one of these? Volume up!! 🔈 Video clip from Goodwood Festival of Speed’s Facebook page. #ferrari

1934 ford "California Kid Express" -- 2024 street rod of the year winner.

French dentist Georges Paulin did not just make dentures. He patented the retractable hardtop, penned the gorgeous Embiricos Bentley that hit 107 mph at Montlhery and later finished 6th at Le Mans in 1949, and secretly served the Resistance as agent Phill 703. Betrayed, he refused an escape to protect others and was executed March 21, 1942. What a legend. #automotivehistory

Any love for old tools? Check out this video of the Emert Universal Machinist Vise. These can be found on eBay for around $1k. Hope to score one of these at an estate sale one of these days.

The 1938 Phantom Corsair feels like a concept car that escaped the future. Built by Rust Heinz (yes, that Heinz) with coachbuilders in Pasadena, it even helped inspire the first Batmobile . Underneath are Cord 810 bones: Lycoming V8, preselector gearbox, independent front suspension, and front wheel drive. All aluminum with cork insulation, no exterior trim, and switches instead of door handles. A true one off.

From the movie, Ford V Ferrari (2019), Carroll Shelby explains to Henry Ford II why their first Le Mans was a success. https://youtu.be/ss1eQRROw4o?si=k3siNMYzKIeRI8_w

Tempted to try this out.

Carroll Shelby changed racing forever. He reshaped Ford’s image, built the GT40 that beat Ferrari at 24 Hours of Le Mans, and created the Shelby Mustangs that ruled the pony car era. A true legend!

The Welbike was a foldable WWII motorcycle dropped with British paratroopers. Packed in a container, unfolded in minutes, and powered by a 98cc Villiers engine. No suspension, no lights, rough ride, but instant mobility after landing. #automotivehistory

The Ferrari Dino might be one of Maranello’s most important cars. Mid-engine balance, Pininfarina curves, and a soulful V6 inspired by Enzo’s son, Dino. Once the “entry” Ferrari. Now a true icon and collector favorite. https://youtu.be/oj3tw9FCHyQ
