    Cool Museum

    I just received this link in an email. I think it is well worth a look.

    http://www.untamedvelocity.com/Barbermuseumtour.htm

    If it is a repost, sorry. I didnt look.

    from the pic of the outside I thought it might have been the motor museum down in/near levin. Looks bloody amazing, would be great if I ever manage to get to alabama.

    I want to cry. Such a place exists but it is sooooooo far away. That place is on my One Day .... list, along with doing laps of the full Nurburgring on a bike and scoring a few laps on a MotoGP bike.

    A search of Google brings up a whole lot more pics from the Barber Museum.

    http://images.google.com/images?hl=e...w=1440&bih=714

    The official site doesn't show many images, probably for security reasons.

    You can even do a lap of the track

    http://barbermuseum.org/gallery.php (click on the Drive The Track bit on the right)

    Michael Jackson created WonderLand, but this place is the true WonderLand.

    EDIT Barber even got the last production Buell

    When I die

    that's where I am going.

    Finally someone has actually shown me what heaven looks like, that is something that even a cynical old atheist like me can believe in.

    Is that Britten authentic or a copy? It's in better nick than the one at Te Papa.

    It's real I'm sure you'll find. It just hasn't had the shit thrashed out of it like Te Papa's unit!
