the Lamborghini family museum is located in Funo di Argelato


the facility is a collection of almost all the private cars of Ferruccio, from his Miura SV to the Countach and Diablo. The real icing on the cake is his famous white Ferrari 250 GT—the origin of the legendary rivalry between il Commendatore and Ferruccio.

Early Carioca tractors were the first economical agricultural machine to be produced and sold in the tough years after the Second World War. Lamborghini was able to re-use the military surplus of  Willys Jeeps in order to build a tractor that was economical enough for farmers to buy and use.

inside the Caterpillar Visitors center in Peoria, is the largest vehicle they have ever made... and it's so big they use it as a theater.. but this is also the coolest place I've seen in a while, and you can do a virtual tour thanks to Google

You’ll start your tour in the theater where a Caterpillar representative will give a brief overview of the company. Very likely, your host will be a Caterpillar rehired retiree. Who can better tell you about the company than someone who had a long Caterpillar career, like Jean who worked at Caterpillar for 42 years, retired, and then came back when the Visitors Center opened in 2012? Your host will introduce you to an orientation film, where you’ll learn about Caterpillar, its products, and its customers.

The Pete has re-opened, after refurbing the exterior... Autoweek did a great job taking photos of the cars inside, and you can save yourself the trip, but it looks like the exhibits finally got a long over do cleanout. Nothing looks like it did, it look s 100 times better


A total of 100 automobiles, 23 motorcycles, four scooters, one bobsled and one full-sized Lightning McQueen are on the grid as the museum throws open its doors again on Sunday, Dec. 6 in a special $200 “Preview Day.” After that you can get in for a mere 15 bucks, a pittance compared to the $90 million spent on the renovation.

Autoweek says:
"The ribbons float around the building "evoking imagery of speed and the organic curves of a coach-built automobile,” the museum says. OMG. Love it or hate it (and the only people we've heard say they love it are on the board of the museum)

Among the new Petersen’s many opening exhibits. "Precious Metal" features 10 beautiful silver cars on silver stands in a silver room with a silver backdrop.



well done, great execution of the theme


and here is one example of the huge improvement in displays


and FINALLY we know where the Tomahawk is
