the guy who finds the most unreal amount of info about vehicles, Steve (I've posted before about his incredible skills) is now posting his own blog! Serviside.blogspot.com
Learn what Debbie Reynolds was doing on this Lambretta http://serviside.blogspot.com/2011/08/more-scooters-another-singer-since-i.html
Learn about the Singer, Sammy and Marilyn, and why they got together for a photo shoot at http://serviside.blogspot.com/2011/08/frank-sammy-marilyn-and-singer-scan-of.html
Learn about electric GMC vans and trucks, (look at the height of this beast) at http://serviside.blogspot.com/2011/08/gmc-electric-trucks-during-my-daily.html
Because Steve knows how to dig up the info, and tells a good story on the background on the above vehciles and stars... so get a look at Steve's blog if you are into learning the story behind the photos, and what else was going on to make the photos happen
the movie car that will be in the new version of Total Recall
It's good to live in San Diego for a lot of reasons, and one is that it's home to Comic Con. Of course, it's impossible to get tickets unless you are a celeb, a publishing company, or are working the event as a security guard. But this Hollywood prop was outside the convention center

all found on http://theoldmotor.com/
Kids and pedal cars, Red Bugs, and gas pumps
The above was identified as a Red Bug (but looks like a Briggs and Stratton Flyer or Smith Flyer to me) based on the shifter lever and fuel tank, and is realistically the same as several other brand buggys, powered by a Motor Wheel, and look like a lot of fun. The top photo is the same company cart, but earlier and with electric power. The batteries are in the box on the back, and that is why the kids are looking like they can't find where to put the fuel
The fuel company product in the tank is "Whoo Pep"
from David's great vintage car photo blog http://theoldmotor.com/ where you can just look at the photos, or read about the history behind them too

Notice the old spelling of "Authorised" and the Zephyr V12
Halfway from the original sidecars that were designed to be riden in, to the flat pads that are used for racing
The above pennyfarthing has that unusual design of the Star Safety http://choosingscars.blogspot.com/2011/08/racer-a-zimmerman-and-his-star-safety.html , and is in clear contrast to the below common design
1930 Bohmerland 600
someone really wants that motorcycle in the country
The first big dog motorcycle?
1910, the first chopper? Probably
Canoe sidecar
A dual rear mount sidecar

How long do you suppose he had those stupid handlebars before someone laughed at him?
