A "thing" that gets me inspired:

You know it!! CA-27 "Avon" Sabre...

In keeping the Aeronautical theme, this is my favorite aircraft, and one of the most maneuverable in service aircraft in the world...The SU-35/37.

Can't go past the Spitfire and the SR-71 Blackbird for me

Yup great plane those SU35s. Those Russians can make some awesome aircraft - one of my all time favourite is the MiG 29.



And my fav bomber (the B1-B Lancer on the left):



Awesome shot of a B2 doing its thing:

This doesn't *actually* inspire me, but thought it worthy of mention.
I can't quite come to terms with the aesthetics of the arch/wheel/tyre lines colliding and making the car look like a kid wearing dad's jumper - I prefer these lines working in parallel and not coming together at the wheel top.

But that's the line between show and go I suppose.









hahaha - and this...

[Rocket36]

SU37 = F15 copy
Mig29 = F14 copy

The Messerschmitt Me 262A -built for the German Luftwaffe. My favourite fighter jet of all time and had it been ready for combat sooner, would have almost certainly turned the tide of WWII back in favour of the Nazis. SCARY!!!



A shame the allies didn't continue to develop the design of the Me 262A really...

I think the Horton 229 was a much scarier machine! I saw a doco on it Gruman rebuild one for a stealth test, it had 20-30% reduced radar reflection or something like that. If it had been deployed onto the British radar stations, 4 minutes notice would be all they would have had.

Yep I know, they'd be undriveable if they were static.
I like slammed cars, but I've just got my own set of opinions about what looks good and what has gone too far.
Like a subtle nose job v cat face woman.




... but she can't undo that by flipping the compressor on.

Did you know that there's a right-facing arrow between the E & X of FedEx?

Designed wiring harnesses in the wings and around the engines
