Had a family weekend in Bude for Dad's 65th & popped into Padstow on the way back to Bude from Mevagissey :o)
Couldn't resist this one shot from the muddy slipway.

Speed
How fast will it go?
Can it get me
Over her quickly?
Zero to sixty?
Can it outrun her memory?
Yeah, what I really need
Is an open road
And a whole lot of speed...
The Firehouse Restaurant in Venice was a location used for the 1994 movie "Speed" (top). As the bus driver pulls away from the Firehouse, the bomber (Dennis Hopper) blows it up.
all three variants of my speeder bike. rumor has it there is a fourth type...
i was working on these when i saw the contest notice. speeder bike fever in the air is apparently a thing.
Another speeder to add to the grid. It came together during last weekend's 24 hours of Spa-Francorchamps, a GTWC race that I rather enjoyed. So that's the name.
Engines were the first thing to get built, there's a little breakdown of them at the end of the photostream but it's nothing hugely complex. After that it was the front stabilisers and then I realised I needed to connect those parts to some kind of cockpit.
I ended up with quite an industrial-looking cockpit, using my favourite part again, but inverted this time and with the 4-wide speed champions windscreen on top, which was good to use. I have lots of them.
I'll obtain a couple of 2x2 semicircle tiles and switch them out with the round ones at the front, but aside from that this was just a fun little build that I'm happy enough with. Got a decent amount of Star-Warsy greebling in, so hopefully the racing bulls graphics on the wedges can be excused as Fambaas from Naboo, or some other creature from the lore!
There's a couple of pictures with this and the junkyard speeder too, so keep scrolling.
I meant to upload this earlier in the day, the reason I didn't is because I'm already working through speeder number three. This next one is red and certainly not a Ferrari...

I photographed this car in one of the car parks at the Vintage Sports Car Club's Hawthorn Memorial Trophies race meeting at Oulton Park in June 2008. It’s an Alvis Speed 20 SD Drop head coupe car with bodywork by Vanden Plas. The chassis left Alvis on 31st October 1935, was completed by Vanden Plas on 1st March 1936, and was sold in April 1936. It is one of 5 produced as a Model SD with drop head coupe body design by Vanden Plas. Its chassis number is 13013, one of probably only three that remain, and is the only car of its type registered in the membership list of the Alvis Owner Club. Mechanically the Speed 20 SD was one of the most advanced cars manufactured in the pre war years, having independent front suspension and a gearbox with synchromesh on all gears. The 2,762cc straight-6 engine was extremely powerful giving the car a top speed of over 90 miles per hour and it is fitted with a high ratio differential which enables it to cruise comfortably in modern traffic.

Took me a while, but I’ve now made a speeder for each of the 90s throwback CMFs from series 26. I like how they look together. If you scroll down I’ve got a few more speeders for old Space factions. Who should I build one for next?
Anniversary Speed Graphic circa 1940-46. My first true large 4x5 format camera. All black unit with Vulcanoid case (pretty solid) & Kallart Synchro Rangefinder. Also with Heiland Flash (not Luke Skywalkers's). With 250mm Wollensak f5.6 with Rapax shutter. DIY lens board. Weighed in at around 5kgs including the film holder and flash unit. It still looks like it will last another 70 years.
Probably very low or not even on your list but when the SHTF in the middle of night, getting your boots on and fiddling with your laces can waste valuable seconds…
Triathletes often lace their running shoes with elastic shoelaces.
This allows them to pre-set the tension of the laces but then to pull on the shoes without stopping to tie the laces. This saves a few seconds of time during the bike-to-run transition.
Make your own using elastic shock-cord or get some custom made by OscarDelta SPD.
Designed for the “high speed, low drag operator”…
Mil-Spec Shock Cord (2 x 4ft lengths)
Available in Black, Tan and Coyote Brown
2 x ITW Nexus Cord Ends
2 x Twin-hole Cord

"I like that one."
"That one? With the rust?"
"It'll clean up."
"And the mismatched engines, and the missing panels across most all of the thing?"
"Pretty sure the engines are a pair, just... yeah, it'll need some work. But you're looking at what it is, not what it could be."
"What I'm looking at is a deathtrap."
"Glass is always half empty with you, huh?"
"This glass is shattered and in pieces, lad. In fact, you'll note the lack of a cockpit canopy at all, glass or otherwise."
"Look, you've got to start somewhere. And why not here?"
"Hey, it's your decision in the end. Your credits. I just don't want it to be your firey death."
"You're all heart, old-timer. I think we can make it work."
"You think I can make it work. Still, I said I'd be your mechanic, so I guess I'd better prove I've still got the touch when it comes to racers."
"And I'll show you I can pilot them."
So this was a pretty quick build, it may well be that some kind of racing speeders will form the next display I do. I wanted to try a narrative of sorts with this, starting from a junkyard scrapper, and gradually improving and refining until we get something sleek and advanced.
In terms of the build itself I've tried to go as greebly as I can for exposed engine bits, and fresh off my ADU builds I've put those spoiler parts back to work as intakes. Nothing hugely complicated here, but I'm satisfied with the skeletal appearance and think that it came out alright. Plenty of room to iterate on this.
I was trying to keep it as small as possible, it's about 18ish studs wide and long, so hopefully I'll be able to fit builds of that/similar size into this year's SHIP, which I'm envisioning as something of a mobile home/workshop/garage such as one might find on a Star Wars-inspired racing circuit series.
(I think I just want to build something that looks like a LMH/LMdH prototype racer but in space. Honestly, the Ferrari 499P already looks like a spaceship that just happens to have wheels!)
