The Holden Hurricane is superb, one of GM's best ever concept cars.  :thumbsup:

And that customised '76 Bedford CF is the same model as my 'Big Bertha' van, but their paintwork is 10 - 20 levels better than mine was.  ;D

Not keen on the (Holden) Hurricane, personally, but I used to see that Bedford cruising around Adelaide from time-to-time some years ago (30-ish?).

Visited the Hollywood Car Museum / Liberace Garage in Las Vegas.  Mostly reproductions, but a fun visit.  Not far from the airport.  Oh, and the Shelby Heritage center.  Also near the airport, and free.  Small, not much detail on placards, but lots of cool cars.

I've posted this in the Interesting Links area, but here 'tis again, somewhere more appropriate...

Sadly, most of the stuff I could find was on FarcePlant, but there's the odd tidbit out there.

Twizel, New Zealand.
Mostly of the machines used in the construction of the nearby dam.
