Some interesting and unusual things from the British Car Council annual car show

Pictured below is an actual WW2 Brockhouse Corgi GI camp scooter from the archives

 Looks like a hoodscoop more commonly found on 60's race cars and hot rods

 the backseat of this 60's Aston Martin is nearly couchlike

 starter fluid, don't leave home without it

who knew a Morgan glovebox made a good cupholder?

Al Davis custom? Huh... another bit of trivia lost to the past. Who or what Al Davis radios were known for will likely never be known or recalled. Certainly it isn't referring to the LA Raiders former owner

Have you been to San Antonio's Lackland AFB?

Then you were walking through the same paths that Carroll Shelby trod when we was stationed there.

He was there during WW2, starting in November of 1941, Carroll began training at San Antonio Aviation Cadet Center (now Lackland AFB) and then was promoted to instructor. While flying training missions he dropped messages to his fiance at her farm from the plane. That's cool

An engine is the fuselage, and the cab on the wing... weird airplane, but he Nazis tried some strange stuff

How many people who think they have seen a UFO flying saucer were looking at some US military prototype?

how crazy of a design is this? found on http://dieselpunk.livejournal.com/524428.html

It's been a couple years since I posted the best of Dieselpunk... so here's an update

 Russian, 1937

 Ever seen a tank tread like this? I haven't. It's an Imgoldby transporter

Lotsa engines, and a huge fuselage... Italian? Russian?
All found on the militant Steampunk style site.. . http://dieselpunk.livejournal.com

Messerschmitt-Me-323

I don't recall where I found these images... 

I found a new website that celebrates cool photography, airplanes, celebs, motorbikes, race cars, etc.. Silidrome.com very cool stuff, not much info, but cool photos

 The coolest, the Fonz. On a Triumph

 A Corsair getting used during down time as a hammock

 Steampunk looking monorail

 Don Yenko in 1960 or 61

 BMW bike, great photo

 What board tracks were... huge gaps between the boards! Looks just like the 1922 Indy racing Frontenac
I posted last November... wire wheels, not that common

 Drifting around a corner in a Delage

 1910 Brighton Beach

 1903 Renault

 Generva Mudge, the first woman to have a drivers license, and was a race car driver

 Mooneyes on the helmet and headlight area, and a straight six

 the Abernathy kids, age 13 and 9, drove across country on their Indian in 1913
... notice the banner hanging from the handlebar, it says US Tires
there is a lot about their story, so late in life the youngest kid's wife and daughter put together a book. The boys were raised by their dad, and somehow got hooked on being exploited for cash prizes, ala the cross country ride, drive, or whatever - craze that newspapers were using to sell papers... beginning at age 5 and 9. http://www.amazon.com/dp/0966216601/ref=as_li_tf_til?tag=giftbasketsfr03-20&camp=14573&creative=327641&linkCode=as1&creativeASIN=0966216601&adid=1DDBRAT23E67XAH6S6N3&&ref-refURL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.vanishedamericana.com%2Fkids%2Fmore-information-on-the-abernathy-kids%2F

 Burt, 1970. A better resolution image than the one like it I've posted before

 Le Mans 1959, the year Carroll Shelby won

 Coolest series of amphib planes ever

The Vincent year by year visual identification guide... now why doens't Harley make one? Anyone have a link to one?

So what is the name about? A silodrome is the "Wall of Death" like the one that Fearless Elbert and his Racing Lion rode on... and that was one of his first posts... he has a lot of cool stuff I've posted years ago, like Elbert and the lion, Burt Munro, the Fonz, old race cars, old motorcycles, and so on... so much cool stuff, that the above is just a glimpse at the ones I liked the most when browsing through http://silodrome.com/ enjoy!
