The amazing and cool photo thread

[Carlos]

From what I've gleaned from the interwebz, these are 956 Porsches on their way to Sandown Raceway (along the Princes Highway?) just after being prepped up the road at Porsche Cars Australia in 1984.

OH MAN SO WILD!!

Only slightly less cool was this road-legal Porsche 917:

With Alabama license plates, driving in Germany.

Or the road legal Rothmans one that is supposedly used as daily driver in Japan.

Storms over Southern California, with lightning and city lights visible through the clouds.

I think it has been posted before but still cool:

I think it has been posted before but still cool:

It was taken by the crew of Expedition 36 aboard the ISS on July 21st. I've seen plenty of others like it with less cloud-cover, but that's a much more recent (and equally cool) shot.

No I don't know where it is.

 

[Wiegert]

But Piquet Jr. knows that location all too well.

After the recent rain it's probably the Bradford City ground.

Valley Parade, Stephen.

But it looks more like Phase One of actually cutting Hull off the map.

Sunrise at 6am, I like the way the sun comes through the clouds.

No I don't know where it is.

I beleive that is Singapore.
EDIT: Yes, it is. Marina Bay Floating Stadium, a few hundred metres SW of the F1 start/finish line.

Basically, it's a hairy crab!

They should have called it the 'Sea Sheep' as not only can you eat it, you can also make a fetching scarf from it. 💡

 

[Liquid]

It's Barbra Cartland.

What's on the side of that plane?

 

[Flex0r]

Looks like a weapons bay.

Don't know if these are already posted in this thread.

 

[Bopop4]

I'd put them in the aircraft thread though, might get more interest.

 

[Flex0r]

you got a point there.

 

[GregTheStig]

From the guy who almost always posts a plane pic in here, I think they still have a place in this thread as long as there's actually something cool about it that even non-plane enthusiasts can appreciate, like this.

The video really threw me off, my eyes couldn't figure out what was happening for a bit. Probably because it couldn't believe what it was seeing, and also cause of the size and angle of the camera. Awesome video though.
