So, do you see how intently these young gentlemen are look at this teeny-tiny automobile from another era? I've looked and looked and looked, and I'm still not sure exactly what this thing is. I'm told they call these bicycle cars because of the teeny tiny wheels this thing rolls around on. The hood ornament lead me down a road toward Spyker, but that was a dead end (as far as I know.) So, I'm open to suggestions. What Is it?
To me, this is the original smart car (before A/C, seat belts, air bags and disc brakes were considered smart). The only reason I put it in the smart car category is because --- look at how much room is inside. Don't gain any weight, because this car will quickly become a one seater. To save room (and to make it feasible for a driver to get in) there is only one door on the bad boy -- on the passenger's side. If there were a door on the other side, you literally wouldn't be able to get your body past the steering wheel and into the seat--- physically impossible.
Yes, that's a hand crank!
I love ghost flames- nice pain job
All I need is one mic,... to shift my car! I wonder if it could be linked into the stero.. Instant karaoke
What is it?-- It's a pick up truck. You'll have to take a look at the youtube video to see more of this. Ever time I see this truck there is something else that i missed. This time, I found out the truck has running water. lol-- It must be a lot of pressure to out do the last upgraded.
wow, $4,962 for a car.... that would be awesome right now.
I don't think I'll get yelled at by too many people for this.. But I decided to take my Camera Completely apart to fix a problem inside. OK, relax -- It was my dad's 20 year old EOS 630. It wasn't a 70D, 5D or 1DX. This camera is the very first SLR that I learned to take pictures on. So its pretty special to me. I''l probably never junk it...or sell it on EBay. So, It's been hanging around in the back of a closet somewhere collecting dust. But the digital camera age isn't the only thing that killed this camera. It's the battery drain issue. You can put a brand new 10 dollar battery in this thing.. and it'll be dead the next morning. I did some research and found a write up below on how to fix it. I also tried to record a video of the fix. This is from ... I've shortened the directions on how to fix it just a tad.. but here you go: my camera with the latch plate off the latch plate Here's a link to
So, since diving into the world of Photography, .. I've heard of this extravagant expensive pieces of machinery that take Amazing photos. They're usually reserved for fashion and product, photographers. They're called medium Format cameras. I won't be reviewing one of those things today -sorry. But, I'll get pretty close. A friend of mine kept telling me about this camera that she had collecting dust in a closet somewhere. So, Naturally - as a fan of Pawn Stars and American Pickers-- I had my hopes really high for something cool and unique. When she finally got around to bring this camera kit around... I couldn't wipe the smile off my face. The name is familiar.. the camera was not. But I was still surprised. Mamiya. A big, huge name in Medium format cameras .. next to Hasslebad and Pentax.. also used to make SLR cameras. In my opinion they seemed to be some pretty good quality cameras too. But the much smaller company folded under the pre
I've always been intrigued by the mystery of the Underground Railroad. Like the black inventors I featured earlier this week, these are stories of people who beat the odds stacked against them to reach a goal- their freedom. They all risked their lives for freedom, preferring almost certain death and a chance to be free over slavery. Some cases were more extreme than others.. traveling in shipping boxes to safe houses on the UGRR. A lot of those travels were documented in the account of The Underground Railroad Records. These are not sad stories. They are testimonies of triumph written sometimes in their own word in letters to "The Father of the UGRR(Underground Railroad) William Still . Still often used his Philadelphia home to help hundreds of slaves to escape. He kept detailed records and maintained stayed in contact with man of them.. becoming a contact between escaped slaves and those left behind. These people exhibited tremendous courage e
