I agree Dan......

 

 

And I also want to recognise those pioneering machines that did their inventors/designers proud.

 

From Richard Trevithick's "Catch Me Who Can" locomotive of 1808....

 

......Stephenson's Rocket of 1829.......

 

.....Through to Sir Nigel Gresley's "Mallard" which conquered the rails in 1938

 

And in the world of aviation, The Wright Brothers' flying machines of the early 1900s

 

.....Through to Concord and the Harrier Jump Jet.....

 

Then on the road, the original Daimler-Benz of 1886, which started it all.....

 

.....Through to the Bugatti Veyron.

 

They are all awesome machines and I am hard pressed to chose a favourite....:bow:

Eh, with a hammer i reckon it will fit in my car.

As a man who worked away from home for quite a few years, this is the bestest machine EVER !!

Do we think Nos could do anything with that?

:w00t:

Does this machine count?

:-) Donald Campbell's Bluebird !

very cool, that's just amazing :thumbup:

oooh oooh oooh look what I just found!

I think if we move away from objects we'd see in regular life, there are 2 that I think hold some answers to some of our most technical future challenges that few people have been lucky to visit (I'm a bit of a closet geek, I used to work for the MoD in radar research systems for example - I do hope to visit CERN one day).

 

Firstly the Large Hadron Collider. This has already unlocked a huge amount of information about our universe and has not long completed a large upgrade.

 

 

Secondly, humanity's flirt into nuclear fusion generators and in particular the Tokamak generators, the largest of which is at the Culham Centre for Fusion Energy in Oxfordshire. We are only about 40-50 years from commercial generation and fusion power, albeit tiny amounts has already been generated - it's a principle that can also be applied to future space exploration giving us virtually limitless supplies of safe high power energy unlike fission power generation.

So hard to pick a favourite in cars, planes, boats and machines but liked this simple piece of machinery. Easy to carry/hide, it will never jam and if a round fails then just pull the trigger for the next one.

The Smith and Wesson snub nose one of the best hand guns in PPW's

 

nice if only we could have one

I fire those out in the US quite regularly. Not a Snub Nose though, but an old Model 59.

Nice stance :gunsmilie:

yes I do agree. I ment to fire at targets like at a range. I was going to get a shot gun licence last year. but I don't want to have one in the house, and you have to have a gun safe if even if you don't have a gun

 

I like the modern twist on traditional sports
