Cars and bikes I’ve come across in my travels

I see the handbrake on the center tunnel between the seats.
AFAIK the 356 had the handbrake under the dash.
Nice spyder nevertheless....

It has a Jimmy Dean look to it. The 356 Bathtub always looked better to me. The Speedster has too much similarity from front to rear for me.
 
Mobile disco turned up for the celebration of collecting my mother in law's bones from the temple incinerator
Front of House ( PA to the punters ) never sounded so... so.... so.... words cannot describe..... not that the "departed" would complain... flooded cell battery too.... mix of the old and really old. j
 
This is what you drive when you pop out to the local Ace Hardware shop to pick up a few tube lights. It is a 1934 model. The Roller was whisper-quiet. The guy lives up the street from me. He used to drive a McLaren, but one day he was unable to get out of the car without assistance, so he sold it. Getting old sucks

Neither car nor bike.
German steam engine type 50. Built till 1948.
Ah, trains.
Will be familiar to most Aussies on here at least, but I do like the German designed ABT rack and pinion rail system built in the late 1890's now rebuilt as a tourist train from Queenstown Tasmania. A separate engine operates the pinions which engage with the centre rack to haul the train up steep climbs (1 in 20) back in mining days. (I think this steam engine burns oil these days) I tried to take a pic on the climb but not very clear so this one at least shows the centre rack...........
