Ha ha ha ha. Ha ha. Ha. No really.
Ta!
Yeah, pretty weird for such an ugly mush.
Is that an Aston? Vanquish? Lucky sod
It is indeed. It's one of the ice cars used in Die Another Day, so under that very Aston hood is a very Ford V8 with a particularly badly tuned Holley carbie, hooked up to a auto transmission and a 4WD system. What you can't see is the baremetal interior and rollcage.

Pic of me and Opa (Grandfather) in Holland in July of 1970. Opa was a tough bastard. He was in the mob for a brief period of his life. When the US 'wisely' outlawed alcohol in the 1920's, Opa went to the USA from his home in Holland to grow corn for the distillation of "machinery solvent" *wink-wink*. Hey, times were tough back then, and America rang the dinner bell for black market booze, which Opa made in his garden shed back home.
Here he is with the farmer he befriended in South Dakota to grow the corn for the booze... I mean... "machinery solvent." Anybody know what year is that Ford? Opa on the far right, and Oma on the far Left. This is the time Opa went from corn farmer to corn broker. He didn't make a ton of money, but he wasn't poor. However, the mob got wind of what he was trying to do, so they 'made him an offer he couldn't refuse.'
When a friend of his was killed by the mob, and the US repealed prohibition, Opa took a ferry back to Holland after my father was born. This was around 1936-37, or so. With a three-year-old son and his wife, the ferry ride back to Holland was an exciting time. Especially when they saw a Nazi Zepplin in the air taking the same course as they, so he took pictures of it. As you can see in the pic, it was the event of the day for the ferry passengers.
That's it for now. Maybe I'll post our Halloween party pics at a later date.

Is that the Hindenburg?
Maybe.
EDIT: My god, it sure does look like it! Wow, the Hindenburg. I've got more. I'll go download them now. Doing a bit of research, it appears only three Nazi Zeppelins went to the US. The Graf, The Hindenburg and The Graf II. Around the time my Opa left for Holland, it could be the Hindenburg he snapped. I've got to talk to my mom about when exactly my Opa left for Holland. The Hindenburg went to the US from March 1936 and crashed in May of 1937 so the time line fits. Awesome.
Here she is now.
The Graf.

Really neat pictures, Solid.
The closer I look, the more I think the airship is the Hindenberg.
The name and registration are about the same length, proportionally, and it's got the interlocking rings in the middle, all of which can be partially made out or located in Photoshop under a bit of magnification and sharpening.
Or at least, that's what it appears to be.

Pako... that stare... that goatee... the build... even the stripe down your face and chest (although not red and on the right instead of the left side) made me immeadiately think of a certain famous video game character...
So have you ever considered going as Kratos for Halloween?
