Never really liked the Countach until recently. When it came out it seemed ugly and brutish in comparison to the Mira and the addition of all the spoilers and arches over the years turned it into a boy racer’s delight, but Simon Kidston restored a couple of early Periscopos recently and I’ve had to swallow my opinion They’re gorgeous!

This evening I suddenly remembered the Banana Splits :

This one tickled me -

Interesting video about what may be the next generation of braking systems for vehicles.

It's about Brembo, who are a serious player in the braking market.

One for Mr Topps perhaps. Fascinating and complex build and IMO the end result is beautiful

And on the theme of aircraft, these still impress, in spite of being a 70yr old design
