* What would you do if you suddenly found yourself disabled? Not a pleasant thought, to be sure, but something to think about. Especially after reading Kripfink’s experiences with that same situation. Ultimately, though, he didn’t let his paralysis keep him from enjoying hot rods and building one of his own, the 1954 Ford panel delivery that he christened the Kripple Kart.
* O’Clair pointed me to this post on Knucklebuster that reprints an article from the November 1966 issue of Popular Science in which Steve McQueen reviewed a handful of contemporary motorcycles.
* Europeans will race anything. Thanks to our friends at BigLorryBlog, we now know that in Latvia and Estonia (Elbonia?), they race GAZ 51, 52 and 53 trucks around dirt/forest courses. Awesome.
* A couple friends of Hemmings recently blogged about their junkyard trips. First, the longrooffan headed out to find a circuit board for his BMW E30 and ran across a few finds (as well as a few clunkers, complete with glassed-out engines). Next, CarDomain’s Jen Dunnaway visited what seems to be the world’s most sensible junkyard, All American Classics in Vancouver, Washington.
* Them boys over at x planes keep finding photos that include cars in with their aircraft. One of the latest shows this Doman LZ-5 lifting a VW Beetle convertible to display its lifting capacity. Wonder why they didn’t try the Chevy in the background?
* And finally, another incident of unexpected racing in Europe. This time, it’s a bomb/lowrider/kustom drifting around the Tykkimaki Circuit in Kouvola, Finland. If all the participants drove lowriders, I might start to care about drifting.
