Went to a local Car/Rail/plane/retrotech museum today. Here's the automotive highlights.
Fair warning - many of these are blurry. I know what I did wrong, too, so no crit, please.
and you thought the Electric car was a Japanese invention? This is a Detroit Electric, '35 If I recall. Power from 48-volt Lead-acid batteries. 5-speeds forward and reverse, apparently
The Mercedes Benz 600. This was a former Hugh Heffner Pullman...Which matters little to me. I took the pic, primairly because I remember that Jeremy Clarkson has one, and I remember that the car has the loudest production horn in the world...
Lotus Elite
Nash Metropolitan. :3
Here's an odd duck. A 1917 Duryea Gem. Cute lil' cyclecar.
Maybe you've seen one 300SL...but how about a MATCHING pair of them? a Gullwing Coupe for Him, a Roadster for Her...It's PERFECT!!!
1988 March Indycar, the newest car on display at that time. they rotate the cars out, so it's not always the same.
Cord 810. Awesome.
oldest car in the collection...well, it would be if it wasn't a replica, but it's an 1893 Duryea. don't know if it runs.
V12 Packard. Sweeeet. Why can't we build cars like this now?
well, that was my day.

The Benz 600 is awesome.
Mostly because it's DUMPED. Air suspension with no air in it I take it?

and the Cord and Packard were right there with the pair. :3
Really was interesting...they also have a Steam Locomotive out front, plenty of interactive exhibits...and all for $5.50/person. Very friendly staff, too. Not a very big place, but it's fun.
RE: "Grosser": Yeah probably the case, there.

Alfa from the Panamericana Rally
This is lovely, I badly want an old Alfa... any one of them...
Here are some old photos I took a few years back at a kit car show, some nice stuff among the reps.
Very funky 3 wheeler
This Alfa GP car took the owner 44 years to make, and apparently a bunch of followers of his project took it to themselves to custom build a matching trailer for him as celebration.

Followed this for a few miles on the A40 (if anyone knows the area, yes in the tunnel too). Driver gave a wave when I pulled up beside him at the next exit

Went to the multi-floor car market in Kowloon Bay today, RUE you gotta come check this place out some day, there are some very sweet cars about, and we can pop over to the SPS garage for a snoop.
Mercedes SLK 55 AMG Black Series, 99 ever made, 3 of which are in HK, and this one only has 8k miles on the clock, price is about $102,967.74 USD or £61,671.763. Half of the sticker price of a new one in HK. The owner literally drove it for half a year and is selling it...
The number of Ferraris here is just sick, the security guards weren't wild about photography so I had to be very discrete
Porsche 996 Carrera 2 dressed as a GT3, there's n orange 997 GT3 RS too, as well as dozens of other porsches, including a few very nice 993s
Something for Lotus lovers
Check out the rest of the cars I spotted on the road today <here>
