With technology where it stands today, lets remember Paper on todays TBT! Happy Thursday Everyone and sieze the weekend!
this is me an my best friend from 4th grade all through school standing in front of my dad's old geo tracker.
there was a time right after 8th grade our phone was cut off at home and my dad for some reason didn't have a phone at his place a few blocks away either. BUT he had a car phone. haha! me and willie would sit in the garage listen to wu tang and the chronic and call up our girlfriends.
i think it said "low emotions" on the window. My older adopted brother Tony did all the work. OH, my pops had a little night club in the city if your wondering why he would have a car like this. you could hear the bass from the system about 4 blocks away. BOOM!
This isn’t a Corvette. It’s the Equus Throwback.
Okay, so it is a Corvette, sort of.
But this Corvette has been restyled, and given a little bit more grunt by Equus Automotive, creator of the Bass770.
The retro-inspired Throwback is a limited model, with only 25 planned by the Detroit-based company, which utilises the ‘Vette as a basis to create a “significantly upgraded” muscle car.
The Corvette’s supercharged V8 can be tuned to an output of 746kW and 1114Nm. Equus says it’s capable of a 2.5-second run to 97km/h (60mph), and has a top speed of 354km/h.
Equus Autmotive’s goal with the Throwback was to inspire a sense of nostalgia in muscle car fans while providing a car with modern-day usability.
“The Throwback model uses unique styling language in its outer skin to create a breathtaking vision of the ultimate Corvette. Equus takes the customer down memory lane to an era when Corvettes were synonymous with performance and class.
“The Throwback can be personalized for the design orientated drivers or for the fastest paced performance centric customer, always emphasizing the original love of an icon, desire for innovation and uncompromised quality.
“Just as companies like Brabus and Alpina focus on European brands, Equus Automotive is focused on providing American Sports car lovers the ultimate interpretation of todayʼs designs.
This week we are going back twenty-two years to AD 35 at Dublin Airport on route 748.
This Alexander DAF bus was new to Dublin Bus in 1994, and was the first in a batch (AD 35-40 and 69/70) delivered to launch the new Airlink service. It came off the airport services around 2000 when double-deckers took over the route, and it joined the regular fleet. When the bus was withdrawn by Dublin Bus, it joined the Bus Eireann school fleet in Waterford around 2006/07. It was withdrawn by Bus Eireann around 2011/12.
Route 748 started running between Heuston Station and Dublin Airport around 1998, although there had been unnumbered services between the two for many years. Route 747 was the designation for services between Bus Aras and Dublin Airport. However, in 2011 both routes were merged into a new route 747 that ran from Heuston Station to Dublin Airport.
Dublin Express now operate from this bus stop at Dublin Airport, and the Airlink service was officially withdrawn in 2021.
