Classic Cars?

How many of them makes a real CLASSIC!

We must be having problems as time moves on with the classic or vintage car to now know which are the real gems of the road? The first attempts are worth saving for their individual historical value, but with the advent of mass production what is the best again of each type and model and what does the present and future hold in relation to body shape, design and layout plus the plush interiors?

Humanity has not really left the box when it comes to the design of the automobile, its is still the shape of a four wheel carriage, based on its predecessor the waggon! Many of the new designs and concepts still follow the rectangular shape and is this because its manageable or is it more difficult to combine suspension in a round vehicle?

Limited editions make the value of each vehicle rise, but they may not always really be the best in relation to function! Speed drives the desire for sports cars based on racing improvements, today tech inside the car has made it a commodity that will be easier to dump like your old phone or computer rather than be kept running for years to come!

Rail Engineering Trains. Part-One.

Railways and Metros.

Railways world-wide need to be maintained, because of weather and vandelism but also daily wear and tear. To do this type of work some very high tech machines have been developed over the years to make life more easier for the railway engineers and work men to get on with the job.

Railway engineering has made leaps and bounds since the days of wagons full of gravel and navies doing all the hard labour.Navies were once the but of humour. The Irish and Scots in Britain, have now been replaced by the host of Eastern-Europeans. 

Take some consideration when you see those familiar yellow machines trying their best to get off the system in the early mornings and wonder how many men over the years were killed trying to get your train journey safe, fast for you to work and school.
