Have you seen a car made into a RV? someone really nailed it with this Rambler American in Argentina


This comes from Fosiles Mecanicos blogspot, and for a super easy way to read it (or any website) in your own language, use Google Chrome as a browser (it's a free download) and then you'll have no problem with translation.
I'm going to keep browsing through http://fosilesmecanicos.blogspot.com/ because Gabriel is finding cool stuff around his neighborhoods
Am I right about how well they made it look like a RV? It beats the hell out of the ShamRockAway for good looks http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/12/photos-of-unusual-from-days-gone-by.html

Segway is now obsolete, the Honda U3-X

The U3X is an electronic unicycle manufactured and distributed by Honda. Currently only available in Asia, the U3X would retail in North America at about $660. The U3X is said to be a technology breakthrough and the world's first driving system capable of 360 degree movement.
a compact experimental device to provide free movement in all directions just like human walking - forward, backward, side-to-side, and diagonally. Honda will continue research and development of the device including experiments in the real-world environment to verify the practicality of the device.

This new personal mobility device makes it possible to adjust speed, move, turn and stop in all directions when the rider leans their upper body to shift their body weight. This was achieved through application of advanced balance control technology, robotics research, and the world's first* omni-directional driving wheel system (Honda Omni Traction Drive System), which enables movement in all directions, not only forward and backward, but also directly to the right and left and diagonally. (think of the wheels on the "I Robot" vehicles)

In addition, the compact, one-wheel-drive personal mobility device was designed to be user friendly and unimposing to people around it. This is achieved by making it easy for the rider to reach the ground from the footrest and by seating the rider at roughly the same eye level as a person standing.




Tere posted a bit more about it, with images that make it easy to understand the multi-wheel that this rides on, it can go forward/backward or side/side: http://justacargal-s.blogspot.com/2011/02/honda-omni-personal-mobility.html

If you've been checking in regularly, you must be wondering how many more photos I have from the GNRS? Just these
















































Worlds fastest roadster


This is one of the cleanest, most sanno engines I've come across


simple, great color choices, and nothing in the way of looking at the major components





The above is the coolest display countertop I found at GNRS


interesting pinstriping on the side of the outside headlight




Looks odd with the front fenders removed

It's cool that they can fit all the racing tires and cage in the bed.
