Behind me was a sign for Michael A. Marti Street.

Seen in Stockwell garage on their open day is newly restored B2737 (LH8186) showing a destination for route 9 to Liverpool Street.

I'm writing at the same hour of that day, ten years ago.

I was at my parents'place in my bedroom while my mom came calling me.

I remember her words "Please come and see on tv: I don't understand if it's a movie or reality".

The tv on our dining room was tuned on CNN when she switched it on, but she doesn't speak english, so she saw the scene of the first plane in the tower but she couldn't understand the words of the speaker.

I couldn't believe what I was seeing with my own eyes and listen with my own ears. And when I saw the people throwning themselves from the towers and the second towers imploding, I still remember me and my mom screaming.

Even now, writing it, I come out in gooseflesh.

 

Today my thought goes to all the victims of terrorism all around the world, to all the human beings whose life was lost by the human madness.

God do pity on us.

 

( I took this shot in NY two years ago with the camera of a friend...not a good one, but I thought it's a goog shot to commemorate and remember a city I love)

A quick snap from last night, as we had friends over and I'm busy preparing an application for a new job. It's all very exciting and frantic and I HAVE NO TIME! Agh! If this job comes off though, it'll be SO worth it.

Its funny.

I feel like my best 9 really represent Frappzilla as a brand.

 

Fun, Playful, Bright. Little bit different and odd.

 

But I'm really aware that since 2017 was such a rough patch for me, that I didn't actually achieve that solid branding that I always aspire to have. I'm going to work much harder at it this year but I'm so happy that the most popular photos are the ones that I feel reflect Frappzilla the best.

 

I know i immediately fell off the 365, the second I got on but I've been so unwell this past week and I got a lot worse before I felt better. Today was a good solid first day back to work and I'm feeling tons better now so I'll get back on that horse tomorrow and keep posting my 365.

 

I'm in a really good place mentally right now. I'm in a really creative state of mind with a lot of character design and wig ideas on the brain. Although I spent it being really poorly, I feel like the few days I've had off to rest and repair have really helped bring that out of me. I'm feeling really recharged and ready to jump into all of the preorders. I'm determined to make it the best one yet!

 

How is your new year going already? Off to a good start?

Self-recreation is more like universe creation. Straight into your eyes wide shut.

these coins belonged to my late father. he was an avid collector and they remind me of him so very much.

 

there are 9 english coins here, only one of these, however, is still in circulation!

thursday.

 

the boy stayed home sick. ish. i liked having him around. we rearranged his room tonight and that's hard for all of us who like things the way they are. i am trusting that what's coming is better than what was. in so many ways.

This photo goes out to all those that lost their lives and their families 10 years ago today on September 11th, 2001. All gave some, some gave all on that very day and we must never forget that.

FDNY Engine 6 sits on display at the NY State museum in Albany. The truck was one of the first on the scene, and was destroyed when the towers collapsed. Four of the five firefighters assigned to the truck that day died. The truck was recovered from the debris, and put on dislay as part of the museum's 9-11 exhibit.

The Fiat X1/9 is a two-seater mid-engined sports car designed by Bertone and manufactured by Fiat from 1972-1982 and subsequently by Bertone from 1982-1989.

 

With a transverse engine and gearbox in a mid-mounted, rear-wheel drive configuration, the X1/9 was noted for its excellent handling, lightweight-removable hardtop, front and rear-storage compartments — and for being designed from its conception to meet the late 60s U.S. safety regulations.

 

History and packaging:

 

The X1/9 succeeded a 1969 show concept car called the Autobianchi Runabout, with styling by Bertone under chief designer Marcello Gandini. The Runabout was powered by the engine of the Autobianchi A112.

 

Designed around the all-new 128 SOHC engine and gearbox (transmission) from the front wheel drive Fiat 128, the X1/9 relocated the transverse drive train and suspension assembly from the front of the 128 to the rear of the passenger cabin, directly in front of the rear axle, giving a mid-engined layout. The layout also located the fuel tank and spare wheel side by side ahead of the engine, directly behind the seats — optimizing the proportion of the car's weight falling within its wheelbase for more effective handling and also enabling cargo areas front and rear.

 

Fiat began marketing a right-hand drive variant in 1976.

 

Unlike Fiat's marketing nomenclature at the time which used a numerical system (e.g., 127, 128, 124, 131) denoting relative position in the model range, the X1/9 retained its prototype code as its marketing name. Fiat's prototype coding used X0 for engines, X1 for passenger vehicles and X2 for commercial vehicles. The X1/9 was thus the ninth passenger car developed using the nomenclature.

 

Concept car:

 

The prototype car featured a distinctive wedge shape and took many styling cues from contemporary power-boat design. Though the more extreme features of the Runabout such as the C pillar mounted headlights and the small wind-deflector windscreen were lost for the production car, many aesthetic features of the Autobianchi Runabout are readily identifiable on the X1/9. The long flat bonnet (hood) with central indentation, the large front overhang, the wedge shape with prominent C pillar roll-over hoop and the car-length indented plimsoll-line all made the successful transition to the X1/9, giving it a highly distinctive appearance.

 

Once developed for production, the two-seater featured sharp-edged styling with a wedge shape, pop-up headlights and a removable hard top roof panel (targa top). The removable hardtop stores in the front luggage compartment, below the front hood, only slightly reducing the space available for cargo. An aftermarket company offered a top made of lightweight clear-smoked polycarbonate.

This Lego miniland-scale X1/9 Targa sportscar has been created for Flickr LUGNuts' 84th Build Challenge, our 7th Birthday, - to the theme, - "LUGNuts Turns 7…or 49 in Dog Years", - where all previous build challenges are available to build to, in this case Challenge number 9, "Show Your Age", - where the models presented should be built from the year of birth of the builder. For me, this is 1972.

Day 262 of my 365 Project- "What you lookin at?"

Just another oscar day........

I spotted this awesome old Pinto Wagon today and managed to get a decent shot of it. I think it's a 1977 but I am not a Pinto expert so someone correct me if I'm wrong.
