Nothing really to report about that, just that I went there. I had an evening to fill. I am not much of a car person, they have 4 wheels and take up too much space on the road. But, I did have Oatmeal for breakfast this morning.
As I said, I am not much of a car person. (They are nice to get from point A to B if it is raining or snowing.) But, I kinda dig pictures and thinking about the product development that was required at the time to make the thing go. Wow, how times change. I suppose that means the bikes that we think are so cool and futuristic now will some day be pretty pedestrian and dated looking.
Without further adu, here is my photo essay.
The front of the place is a little nicer than what you would expect for a car museum. I guess it is Belgium and things are a bit older than the things in the USA.
Turned out to be a cool old hanger that was stuffed full of a bunch of different cars, from a bunch of different era's.
I guess the pedal electric/moped bike thing is not really a new idea.
This is a Bugatti. Look closely at this one. Drink it in. The next photo will surprise you.
This is a Ford. Notice how similar it is to the Bugatti above? Man how times change. Bugatti is still cool, Ford is...well, Ford.
There is a retro car waiting to get out in this one. Seems that some car designer should be studying this to figure out how to come out with the modern version.
Bang Bang Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, our fine four fendered friend.
I am pretty sure you could fit more lights on the front of this one.
I want a steering wheel like that.
The first SUV. I think they have gotten a bit more refined though.
This one is kinda cuddly.
Always, no never, no always end your blog entry with a picture of a Pacer. It is not too big, doesn't take up too much space, and if it really sucks you can blame it on AMC.
Out. I will find some better things to write about soon, I promise.
