absolutely delighted to see this Classic big BMW in such great condition, wish all BMW owners looks after their cars like this owner does. Fabric interior (non leather) is in great condition. No good pictures of the front due to it being parked against a wall. The alloy wheels are not great though

I never thought car washes were creepy until I watched an episode of CSI where this woman was killed while going through a car wash (the serial killer was hiding in her car). Looking t this pic, the car wash looks scurry...
New in July 1967 as 2041, KHW 310E, this RELH had recently been demoted to a bus, and renumbered 2436. She was a long-time Gloucester allocated vehicle when a dual-purpose RE. Here she is seen approaching Bristol Bus Station (her depot) on a 525 from Gloucester. March 1st 1980. 2041-2047, were the only Series I REs to be built with Leyland O.680 engines and SCG semi-automatic gearboxes. March 1st 1980.

Ray Automatic Oil Burner cover, seen in a San Francisco, California sidewalk. The W.S. Ray Manufacturing Company was a San Francisco manufacturer of automatic oil burners, ranges, and furnaces. The earliest record I could find of them was in 1892, and they lasted at least into the 1920s.

Manufactured from 1967 to 1969 by the Polaroid Corp. of Cambridge, Massachusetts. The “Automatics” added a fully automatic, transistorized electronic shutter that gave continuously-variable shutter speeds. They used a new type of film that loaded in flat, drop-in packs. The 210 was a light plastic model that used a simple viewfinder with a distance scale superimposed in the field of view (which was linked with parallax correction to the focusing mechanism). Shown here with it’s matching Polaroid 268 flash attachment that used an M3 clear bulb.
Fun fact: Many people thought the gang at Polaroid couldn’t count! After all, the numbers on the parts had #1 for focusing, #2 for taking the picture (releasing the shutter), #3 for cocking the shutter and #4 for pulling the film out to start development. Why did you cock the shutter in the middle of the process? Well, the reason is simple. The new electronic shutter was “on” once you fired the camera—powering a small CdS cell on the front panel to select a speed from 10 secs to 1/1200 sec. If you left the cocking lever in the “up” position, the shutter system stayed on, measuring light—and running down the camera battery! Polaroid numbered the steps so that you conserved battery power. And, when I used to sell camera equipment, we use to see many of these cameras come in with exploded and corroded batteries (sometimes completely ruining the camera) where the camera had been stored with the cocking lever up. See, you really should follow the steps 1-2-3-4 (see the additional image of the numbers on the pack camera)…
I need two things for this camera: film and some flashbulbs. Should work though!
I think this would be a bit of fun to carry at a party, but that's just me.
Canon Sure Shot Max 35mm film camera, also known as the Autoboy Mini or Prima 5. This is a 35mm autofocus lens-shutter camera first marketed in 1991. It sports a retractable 38mm f/3.5 lens. Film winding and rewind is automatic.
I bought the actual camera for my daughter but used it myself on a few occasions with very good results. These photos were made for its sale on ebay.

Finally. It took long enough to get here, let alone win a legit complete auction.
I wanted a black dial and black bezel diver, and my main options were a 007 and a 173(007 w/round markers is asian market in both singapore and japanese movement, 173 w/square markers is north american and singapore movement). I could have chosen some other watches and swapped bezels, such as a 171 so I can have a poor mans marine master, but I like the flat and painted dials since they have a bit more of a military look than the classier raised ones.
I preferred the square markers, despite losing jdm movement. I won this domestically on ebay with box and paperwork from the original owner. Z22 strap had snapped though, so I have a new Z22, Jubilee, and nylon Seiko bund band on order from Singapore. I'll mostly have the zulu on, swap between bund/rubber, and steel for formal occasions.
I was planning on a complete MKII make over, but I decided all I'm gonna do is change the date wheel to one with Kanji, and use sword hands. Subtle changes that enthusiasts will still appreciate, while still being accessible to the general public. Yes, my watch will have quite a bit of an identity crisis, but so will my other wrist once I have my tattoo sorted out.
And now an example of an FLF with semi-automatic transmission. They came late in the FLF's production life and were found only among the F registrations and the handful of Gs. We in Bristol never had any, our deliveries ceasing at E-reg. There is no getting away from the fact that the FLF was eminently unsuitable for the type of work on which it was used in Bristol ...but then, Bristol must have been the largest city in the country wherein the bus services were provided by a "company" operator. Elsewhere municipal operators had long ago found some way of taking the labour out of driving buses in urban circumstances. Mind you, in my experience it was the hard, springy brake pedal, with its distinct feel of air pressure resistance, rather than the clutch, that caused the legs to become fatigued. Really semi-auto was wasted on the FLF, operators such as Crosville and Eastern National using theirs on inter-urban rather than urban services. This was Eastern National no. 2919, photographed at Chelmsford on Saturday 29th March 1980.
Switchblade knives became illegal in the USA when I was about 5 years old. If you've ever been a boy, you know that there is NOTHING that makes an object more desirable than making it illegal. In recent years the laws have relaxed to the point that they are now legal in most states. There is still a Federal law against them, but all that appears to mean is that you can't carry one on Federal property. You do, in most states, have to have a "Concealed Carry" permit in order to carry one of these, just as you would with a firearm.
I know the one on the far left is Italian, I bought it in Venice. Its blade is only an inch long, and it came attached to a keychain - but it is still very sharp, and because it's so small there is no room for a safety lock to prevent it firing off in your pocket. Think of it as a sort of home vasectomy kit. I don't carry it much.
Next one is a different design, this one has a torsion spring that positively drives the blade to its full open position rather than just kicking it out and counting on momentum to finish the job. Very nice little knife, actually, with a 2.5 inch blade.
The remaining three are the classic Italian design; two are actually marked "Italy" on the blade, but that might be taken with a grain of salt. The handles and mechanisms are all the same, but there are 3 variations on the blade: the black one has a 3 inch long semi-dagger style blade, with one edge sharpened and about half of the back edge symmetrically tapered but not sharp. The brown one in the middle has a single edge blade, similar to the one on the little keychain knife, almost 4 inches long in this case (and, oddly, with a thumbnail groove in the side); and the grey one at the far right has a 4 inch full-dagger style blade (though only the front edge is actually sharpened).
This is probably all of these that I'll feel I need. I have no particular use for them; even as weapons, I doubt that they would really be more effective than a conventional folding knife, since the actions required to release the safety are more cumbersome than unfolding a pocket knife (and the consequences of carrying them with the safety off I don't want to think about). But, like other esoteric mechanical devices, they are interesting, made much more so by a lifetime of unobtainability.
The IIId Automatic's successor, in mostly working order. Speeds below 1/30th are useless, but the light meter and guide needles both work as does everything else so not bad overall. Put on the Quinon lens i own, this came with another Westanar 50mm f/2.8 (i now have three).
I got lens spanner this week so i took apart two of the Westanars and cleaned the glass and fixed the stuck aperture blades, they work great now.
Now that i do own this i now have every King Regula interchange lens rangefinder, just need the lenses now :)
The first reference of the mill dates back to 1586, a new mill was built later on, which was the property of the Winternitz brotehrs. The mill buildings and silos are registered national technical listed buildings. The complex belongs to the top ten largest facilities of its type in the CR.

Not great, needs lots of work. Messy paintjob, too long, etc. Not horrible, though. Pretty much full credit goes to Ryl Dyl for this one.
Originally built by Ricoh, this PMC camera was sold by the Dutch grocery chain Albert Heijn. It was a special product for their "Premie van de maand club".
People could buy stamps each time they did their shopping at one of their stores, with a full booklet of stamps they were able to buy all kinds of non-food products at reduced prices.
It was a great succes.
The automatic writing project started out as an activity among friends and locals. I would write a line someone else would write a line and so on... Then people would overhear us and ask if they could participate and write something too (which surprised me) of course I said "yes!" At that point I realized that lots of people have something to say. I started asking strangers to add entries, then I graduated to offering people $1.00 to participate, some people do not accept the dollar and some pay me a $1.00 (paying it forward). It's becoming quite a lovely, surprising and compelling project. People from many walks of life are participating: homeless, a news reporter, academics, students, doctors, drug addicts, lawyers, tourists etc... People have written things in my journal that they'd never say out loud, not to anyone. Some of it's so sad, some intriguing, hilarious and so on... At the end of the day, every one of these people understand that their entries are being uploaded to the internet and are comforted in knowing that they will be heard. I have no idea where this is going, but it's going just fine! FYI: English is not everyone's first language here. I will be illustrating the book/journal after the text is done. I hope that everyone who reads these entries learns something about people, mostly that we never know what someone else is going through.
