Opera makes the world go round! Wall clock with small planet picture of Lincoln Center in New York at night as clock face. Diameter 11 1/2''. Uses this image. See all other pictures possible in this model.
Built by Otto himself from Columbus Zona and Reynolds 853. Stainless lazer cut decals and head badge brazed with silver.
Aluminium bodied, custom-built camera for 127 format relying to large extent on the mechanics of a Foth Derby.
Used were the Foth Anastigmat f2.5/50mm lens and focussing helical, the strut and bellows system and the cloth focal plane shutter unit with speed settings of B, 1/25, 1/50, 1/75, 1/100, 1/200, and 1/500. The camera also utilises the notched pressure plate with the two red windows from a Foth Derby 2A/2.5.
The unit is hard to date. It clearly utilises components drawn from a Foth Derby 2A which was introduced in 1932 and which was replaced in 1935 by the Forth Derby 3 (which had two green and two red oval windows on the back).
Note the absence of a viewfinder, the presence of an accessory shoe (presumably to fit a removable rangefinder?), and the addition of a larger shutter adjustment knob shaped from the brass fitting of a Bausch & Lomb Optical Com. Rapid Rectilinear lens. The camera has a has a snap-on back lid and the unit is overall is VERY WELL machined.
It is unclear whether this camera is a prototype of some sort, or whether this is a highly skilled personal modification. The fact that pencil-writing on the inside of the fully removable back lid states "winding end" is not necessarily indicative that it was a British-made unit (although it was acquired from the UK).

I was just admiring your bicycle, Jeff when you spotted me here. You were very patient and allowed me to take several shots of you and your fine chopper. I liked this candid shot the best. Thanks very much.

The Aristocrat and Aristocrat Custom Built horns of the 1930s were configured in a long, compact wrap. It was a popular style of the day; in its sales literature Buescher bragged about the models' streamlined modern appearance.
Note that the main slide is configured to cant downward to the left and enter the third valve case to the right of the third valve slide.
Because of the relatively long and narrow wrap, some mistake these horns for "peashooter" trumpets. They aren't. A peashooter is generally wrapped even tighter and longer than this horn; the term is also usually associated with small bore sizes.
The bore on this horn might be considered small by today's standards, but it was a medium bore horn in its day.

1962 MG MGA 2000 MkIII Blue Magic Special Atlantic Coupé
This car is quite famous in MG-circles and is the result of a painstaking restoration/custom rebuild undertaken by owner Tom Gustavsson. Originally an MKII MGA, it was bought as a rusty wreck in 1989.
The body was almost beyond repair... almost, as Gustavsson decided it HAD to be saved, no matter what. Inspired by the famous Bugatti Atlantic from the late 30s, Gustavsson modified the car. The 18 valve engine had its size increased to 2 litre, delivering 128 hp and a top speed of roughly 200 km/h. The gearbox is a full synchro 1972 MGB.
Several parts (mostly engine) have been gold plated and the car has countless unique features implemented.
When the project was finally completed in 1995, Gustavsson named it "Blue Magic Special and the first long trip went to - of course - the international MG Meeting at Silverstone!

The annual CRAA (Classic Race Aarhus) vintage motoring event attracts an ever increasing participation from both drivers and spectators.
The classic car parks of the event (there are 2, one outside by the main entrance and one in "Mindeparken") are always a good place to spot interesting vintage vehicles from practically any era of motoring. Many visitors spend a lot of time here, enjoying the sights.
