Snow Cruiser


In 1940 the United States wanted to explore and lay claim to part of Antarctica.  The plan was to develop a vehicle that could both travel across the landscape as well as serve as living quarters and mobile laboratory for five people.

After watching the YouTube video it seems apparent that the research for the project fell far short of "adequate".

Odd marriage



 A 1976 MG Midget powered by a 1470cc twin cylinder engine making 64 hp.  Which is actually 9 more horsepower that the original MG engine.

The question is: WHY??

Protective coloration

 


I enjoy photos that show (or in this case hide) examples of of protective coloration.  The photo above includes a snake.  I was unable to find the snake until a hint was provided. If you would like to try to locate it before the hint you may do that now.

If you were unable to locate the snake perhaps it will be a bit easier when I tell you that the snake is not far from the lighter green leaf that is near the center of the photo. If you are still unable to locate the snake please come back tomorrow and I will reveal his location.

Airborne


 Jesse posted this image on justacarguy.  It would seem the photographer was in a very dangerous position when capturing this image.  When I see photos and videos of European rallies I fear for spectators' safety.
