Ed,

Great pic with the Lambo. When I worked in one of the large architecture firms, one of the project managers was from Nigeria, and she would tell some fascinating stories about stuff like this, electronics and toilets in homes without plumbing or electricity, forms for precast concreete housing for rural homes getting stolen, and used to build a shack, expensive cars left by the side of the road, because they ran out of gas and the owner had no idea what was wrong, etc.

I have a friend - an older woman who's hobby is sending out stuff she finds on the internet to all her contacts. This was interesting enough that I thought it would be of interest here. No info .. just pics.








Not so unusual .. she's just cute! :)

That first pic could be titled, "Men In Black: The Early Years".   ;)

I like the goofy "bread loaf" truck.

Thanks for the cool pics Ed.

There is a great site devoted to monocycles (unfortunately have lost the link. Think it was out of Spain.) There are also a number of vids on Youtube of monocycles in action.

Great pictures all! Though I can't understand the need for monocycles, when two wheels do it all so much better. Would be neat to see a road course race with a bunch of these.

If I am not mistaken I think that last pic of Ed's is the sea tractor that plied between Bigbury & Burgh Island in South Devon, Uk
