V.I.S.I.T. – DAF Punk Edition

comments
This Volvo 66 (née DAF 66) rolled out of the Van Doorne’s Aanhangwagen Fabriek sometime between 1975 and 1980, after Volvo purchased DAF in 1974. It’s likely been befuddling passersby and seducing bizarre car enthusiasts (like me!) ever since.

Na-Na Na-Na Na-Na Na-Na BATMAN!

You’ve already installed bat-poles in the foyer, but the bat cave is mostly filled with spiders. Adam West has a restraining order against you. Your yard is littered with ineffective batarang prototypes. And worst of all, your girlfriend refuses to wear the Catwoman suit you carefully stitched out of plastic bags. Maybe you’ll take things…

If there’s one thing I love more than hovercraft, it’s ground-effect aircraft. Why not have both? Shockingly, this crossover contraption is not from Russia, the motherland of strange transportation solutions to questions only a Soviet bureaucrat could have asked (ekranoplan anyone?), it’s from New Zealand. And you thought they were just good for comedic musical…

Some things just go well together: beer and bratwurst, beer and football, beer and beaches. What about nostalgic drag racing, in monotone slow motion, set to Italian opera? Curious? Make the jump, crank up the speakers, and prepare to be pleasantly surprised.

Ovid described dreams (oneiroi) as the thousand sons of Hypnos, the embodiment of sleep. Of the Oneiroi, Morpheus brings forth dreams of people, Phobetor of animals, and Phantasos of the natural world. He left out Peter Peter Hughes, whose new video for the song “My God is an Angry God” combines lyrics worthy of Camus…

This Boot is Made For Running (at over 100MPH in the Desert)

“I’ve lined me up a sweet machine for this one. Called the ‘Baja Boot.’ Chevy powered. Four hundred and fifty horses under the bonnet. Space frame construction. Four-wheel drive. Independant suspension. And ‘smooth’! I can notch close to a hundred over a sand wash and you better believe that’s moving.” – Steve McQueen

Clear 11 minutes from your schedule and watch Testarossas and 328s roll along on Maranello’s assembly line. The film is beautiful, and gives a sense of how much hand-assembly went into a Ferrari at the time.

Let me get one thing out of the way: as you might have noticed by how many of our “OMG drool” posts are based on Fantasy Junction offerings, the Emeryville shop is like some adult Wonka factory filled with licentious delights you can’t afford and might be bad for your health. Thankfully, unlike any respectable…
