First light image taken in Killbear Provincial Park, Ontario. This was my first good opportunity to give my Williams Optics RedCat 51, mounted to an iOptron SkyGuider Pro, a proper shakedown. This combination did not fail to blow my mind! These are all single exposures with minimal processing; I'll stack some of the images later.
polaris atv with tracks! So cool. We found this at a suzuki/honda dealer and had to get a picture of it.
A fully licensed casting of the real life Polaris RZR but its so plasticky and crude it may as well be a generic! Sadly Matchbox have thought to put several of these unpopular castings in the latest 72 count Case C. Mint and boxed.
Here's a really unique one; when it was originally released in 1961, the US Navy had a conniption when it was learned that Soviet agents were buying the models. Allegations of security breaches were made, but ultimately proven untrue. The end result was huge sales for Revell from the extra publicity! This boxing is from 1975 and is exactly how I remember seeing if for the first time in Woolworths on Charlotte Street in Sydney NS. Wanted it badly but had to wait a while. Thankfully we have Ebay now!

The Polaris Slingshot is a three-wheeled motor vehicle. It was introduced in 2014 as a 2015 model.
The Slingshot is manufactured by Polaris Industries, who claim "It's a three-wheeled motorcycle!" It has a tilt-adjustable steering wheel, side-by-side bucket seats, and does not lean. Three-point seat belts are fitted, however it has no airbags or crumple zone, and driver and passenger must wear motorcycle helmets in certain jurisdictions. It has no roof, doors, or side windows. A small windshield is an optional extra on the base model, and fitted as standard on the SL model. Steering wheel, gear stick, and brake, clutch, and throttle pedals have a conventional automobile layout.
Depending on which state the Slingshot is registered in, it will either be registered as a motorcycle, or as an auto-cycle. Hawaii and Maryland are the only states that are still legislating on vehicle classification. Check with your local Department of Motor Vehicles for classification. www.polaris.com/en-us/slingshot/license-requirements
The Slingshot weighs 1,743 pounds (791 kg) and is powered by a 2.4 liter inline four engine derived from the GM Ecotec. This engine was formerly used by GM in the Pontiac Solstice and Saturn Sky sports cars.
