RANDOM PICTURE THREAD

[57chero]

We had a really nice automotive museum here in the Portland Metro area (Oregon) called the World of Speed its been around for about 3 years they would change up the theme every once in a while from Nascar to Indy to drag racing and  how hot rodding originally started, Mario Andretti was a guest with one of his race cars on display,They would also have a cars and coffee every Saturday. The last display was history of the mustang a long with all the other permeant car displays, you could spend hours reading all the displays. They also would bring school kids in for tours and hands on stuff to do. Big beautiful building just south of Portland right on Interstate 5 for everyone to see. But thanks to our wonderful Governor Kate Brown it wouldn't be able to open back up until 2021 because of the restrictions she set up, so the Owners will be permanently closing it down.

Aah...yes...Oregon...that would be the central province of the Nation State California. I currently am a "legal" resident of Washington State...the northern province of California. For now I am. Hopefully by the end of the summer I will once again be living in the U.S. with my legal residence being in Missouri.
I had heard of the museum of which you speak. Sad it is closing down...I had heard great things about it.

Yea...I won't be buying it. I need to come up with a lot of cash for the move. I have 9 cars to move on a car hauler along with the rest f the house. UNLESS...I win a bunch of greenbacks on a LOTTO ticket...then maybe! LOL!!!

i have been in the museum a few times, both before and after the tornado...and to be honest I liked the original better. But this one is still evolving...takes a long time to make one as intricate and eclectic as the former was. This one is very nice...just doesn't have as much of the old stuff the other had and lost. It'll get there. Worth the price of admission to be sure.

I appreciate the diversion...got to spend some time with the current manager...he is a nice guy.

First pic...2 horses pulled that load? WOW!

Second set of pics...those look pretty creative! Bet they were a blast to run across the snow/ice in!

So...you say your kids have an old school bus? Yea...okay...And you will notice that even has a place on the back for those who might be in wheelchairs...

Same yard...different vehicle...with a rear deck...this is a unique motor-home for those summer vacations!  Note...both school bus and motor-home are custom made...and will require time to construct!

Even an 18 Wheeler can have some style!

The Labatt's truck was restored for Expo 86 in Vancouver and they drove it around.  A company from England build a very good limited run of diecast that I treasure.  It is not far from my Big Red Ford Turbine.
