http://www.icbm.org/erkson/temp/digital-pi..._Racing_Museum/ The story (info coming from my friend so I may get something wrong ): My good friend Brian Fye spent Christmas at his wife's father's house in Alabama. To whittle away the time he visited the Barber Museum. Five stories tall next to the Porsche Driving Experience school. Every picture you see is a real, functional motorcycle. Some of the displays look like a Hot Wheels diorama but it's not, they are the REAL DEAL...even the cars (the Ferrari Dino and Porsche pics were for me (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) ). BTW, the aluminum shell is an unfinished Ferrari body and the engine you'll see to the far right is a Ford. Brian thought it was a GT40 at first glance but he got special permission to go below (where they prep/work on the vehicles/bikes) and check it out. They're in the process of putting all the bikes on wooden crates and away from the white stands. The pictures of the bikes against the wooden background are on a real, wooden (unfinished surface!) 45ยบ race track Again, I didn't go there so I don't know much except what he told me. I'll try to answer any questions that I can but no guarantees. I'm hosting the images on my server for him since his home page is a Geocities one (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/barf.gif) 56K modem volks, I reduced the file size down but they're still kinda big, sorry. Enjoy! |
