I don't think I posted this in this thread, but here's the old Minolta I use. I'm sure it cost a small fortune in its day, but I picked it up for about $100 Canadian on Ebay after our old one, of the same make and model that Ange got at a flea market for $50, started leaking light. Repairs would have cost around $250-500, so buying another was the only option. At least the first one had a wide angle 28:1 lens, and the new one (actually older) had the original 50:1. Plus, we've got a spare XG-1 body, if we ever damage the case.
Something about these old 35mm SLRs that digitals just can't touch.

Some fullo brought in this 1931 Ferrari Grand Prix race car replica to my brothers' shop. The only thing is, the first Ferrari wasn't built until 1940, and even then, it was forced, by Alfa Romeo, to cary the name Auto Avia 815. The first car to wear Enzo's name was the Type 125, (125 was the size of all 12 cylinders, coming in at a whopping 1500cc ), and that came to life as a pure race car in 1947.
This is actually a VW 1600cc air cooled chassis with, what appears to be, an old Alfa body, since they were producing back in '27. Or a Fiat, who was in the game since 1905, when it won the Congo de Ventoux hill climb. That car had a 16.2L (16,200cc) beast.
It's funny to look at, because it has this huge nose, with nothing in it but a battery and gas tank, where anything from a huge inline 4 to a tiny screaming V12 would have been at home. It's fully fiberglass and has all the weight directly over the rear transaxle. Donuts anyone? Could you imagine the fun you could have with this sort of machine. I'll make a thread in the garage so you can see some other views.
This car is one true bastard, but it's one of the coolest things I've ever seen.
