Close call, these guys caught their pop up tent just before it crashed into their cars... and ruined the paint and bodywork on their show cars

 The wind picked up after 11 am... and the rain started at 130

Nice Olds F85 caught my eye in a parking lot... Cragar SS rims make about everything look better... but the overall design, though simple, is good looking


 Looks a lot like a 66 Chevelle from the side

Take the lettering off the tail panel, and no one would know what this car is. 

The well animated vehicles from the movie "Tin Tin", quite the variety










A train crash in the movie "Hugo" replicates the famous Oct 1895 Granville-Paris Express wreck photo... pretty cool to include that in a movie



here is the original
The engine careened across almost 98 ft of the station concourse, crashed through a 2 foot thick wall, shot across a terrace and sailed out of the station, plummeting onto the Place de Rennes 33 ft below, where it stood on its nose. All on board the train survived, five sustaining injuries: two passengers (out of 131), the fireman and two conductors; however, one woman on the street below was killed by falling masonry. The accident was caused by a faulty Westinghouse brake and the engine drivers who were trying to make up for lost time. A conductor incurred a 25 franc penalty and the engine driver a 50 franc penalty.

I've posted that old photo before, because it's just amazing to me. Trains falling out of buildings... not very often that happens http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/02/one-of-most-impressive-photos-ive-seen.html
