The Carr Fastener Company of Cambridge Massachusetts opened this Canadian factory in 1920.
The company made snap fasteners to hold the side curtains of early open top automobiles, as time went on manufacturing included fasteners for clothing as well as radio tube pins and sockets.
The company moved to Stoney Creek Ontario in the 1960's and continued on as a subsidiary of TRW until that plant closed in the mid 1990's.
This building now serves as a automobile service facility.

Part of my "Updated Classics" series - an ever-growing number of sets I've re-interpreted in order to make them fit better with modern LEGO City vehicles and buildings.
This is based on my old Minivan design from 2011, slightly modified to look more like an update of the original.

A beautiful white Lamborghini Gallardo at Schuttenbach. This is easily the most crazy and loudest Gallardo I have ever seen!
And it's actually NOT a Superleggera, but a wonderfully modified "standard" Gallardo. Even the interieur is modified "Superleggera-style".
How do you like the car?
Don't forget to check out:
I test drove a C5 Break. I was strongly considering to go for a change. Somewhat longing for some of that hydropneumatic magic once again. But even if I didn't crash the car, it was my insurance that had to pay out, so this cost me 5 of my 7 damage free years, that would make for quite a pricey insurance on a C5. On top of that, I am not comfortable D.I.Y.ing on hydropneumatic complexities.
No, let's stick to what I know serves me just right, practically and financially.
I introduce my third Series 1 Berlingo 1.6i 16V Multispace. Because I still like them better than the facelift model, most specifically, the interior. As it is just that bit more robust and 90's style PSA-like.
Anyway... Barn 3.0? No... If not another model, or even another color... let's go for a different name. The first two were called The Barn and Barn 2.0 because they had plenty of exterior damage. Giving them the shabby van look, which I like. But it's always nicer to drive something that looks a bit cleaner. Well, it's not perfect, and it doesn't need to be. It will be used for all it was intended to. But it sure is a lot less barn-like from the in and outside. The interior too, was sparkling clean... Stunning, for this type of vehicle!
It has done 253K, so it's been around already 10K more than my previous Berlingo. But it feels like it can do some more!
And so I present: Luna LuDoSPace!

From Fire Tender to Tree Logger. This rare Alvis Salamander 6x6 former Fire Tender has been converted to a tree logger by her Worcestershire owners and was given a 1977 registration. The original motor in these was a Rolls-Royce B81 8-cylinder engine which produced 240 bhp and a semi-automatic gearbox was also fitted. A bit of a beast then.
Autopanne? Der Kollege hier kommt vorbei und bietet mit seinem mörderischen Schraubenschlüssel seine Hilfe an. Das Ding kommt entweder von der Werft oder aus dem Kraftwerksbau. Diesmal ist er auch erhalten geblieben und kann daher stolz neben seinem Fahrzeug posieren. Dieses trägt vorne noch immer den klassischen Scheinwerfer-Kühlergrill-Stein, der jedoch eine Rationalisierungsmaßnahme über sich ergehen lassen musste. Er ist nun nicht mehr bedruckt, stattdessen musste man selber dafür sorgen, dass er mit einem entsprechenden Aufkleber versehen wurde.
This very basic van was designed by André Lefèbvre and Pierre Franchiset, and introduced in 1946. Throughout its entire life the design stayed almost the same. Still we can recognize some changes.
Some characteristics of the early Phase I model: split windscreen (replaced in early 1964), big sized chevrons on the bonnet (changed to shorter ones in late 1964), semi-circular rear wings (replaced by rectangular ones in Nov. 1969), and a narrow vertical rear window with curved corners (changed to a wider square one in Sept. 1963).
Later models were called HY.
1911 cc.
1440 kg.
Production Citroën H/HY Van: 1947-1982.
Original first reg. number: Febr. 5, 1963.
New Dutch semi-historical reg. number: June 29, 2011.
Bought at Dec. 31, 2013.

It's a very interesting Lahti coach because it's 1 of only 2 that were built on Volvo's (then) new B9R chassis. Because of this, it sounded like a much more modern bus. Eagles were mainly built on Scania chassis and companies that preferred Volvo liked the older B12 better

I actually wanted to keep this picture secret for quite some time but now I end up posting it as soon as I have finished the editing. I'm quite pleased with this picture, I have to say.
I'm really in love with this Diablo VT. Although itt has covered almost 90.000km it looks like it comes straight out of the factory. No single scratch! And just have a look at the black/yellow interieur!
Thanks to the incredibly friendly owner and all the guys at Schuttenbach who made it possible for me to take some pictures.

Following the Countach I uploaded yesterday...let's keep this thing going! Any guesses what might come next? (sorry, that's a hard one I know)
Taken at Schuttenbach, make sure to check out their homepage, they have some rare beauties for sale:
Not a trace of this place remains in the present day. I had previously located where it was but either I made a minor mistake with the postcode or that postcode covers a lot of the village. Eventually I think I have worked out where it was - now converted into sympathetic modern housing - but there is a clear footprint of the island at the front of the site still showing on Streetview. In addition an older photo of a garage in Chudleigh Knighton posted onto Facebook shows there clearly was a garage here in the past.
