Behold: the 1972 AMC Javelin AMX Defiant created by Wisconsin car builders Ring Brothers. A classic AMC AMX muscle car bestowed with the 6.2l, 1000bhp Dodge engine and snarling vulpine demeanour it never had.

Behold what purports to be the fastest road car in the world: the curvy, 1960s retro style, carbon fibre Corbellati Missile Hypercar – a 9.0l, twin turbo, 1800bhp V8 manned projectile capable of a Hennessy Venom pwning 500km/h (311mph).
The Missile launches next month at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show.

Behold: one of three known surviving 1963 International Harvester Scout 80 Campermobiles, of which only 88 were ever made. Go figure, sez you.
Inside, there’s a seating area with a table, working fridge, sink, oven and a fold-out chemical toilet. Extendable side panels with window inserts convert into beds.
It runs and drives, it’s weird and it’s yours for €22,700.
A recent aerial shot (bottom) of the 12.9km long Confederation Bridge (top) linking Prince Edward Island to mainland New Brunswick in Canada showing surface ice in the frozen strait neatly sliced into rectangles by its evenly spaced piers. To wit:
To put the rectangles into perspective, the bridge piers that are designed to break up the ice floes are 250 meters apart. That distance would also represent the width of each of the rectangles. The length of the blocks varies but, on average, the length is about 75 per cent greater than the width.

Behold: the Ferrari 488 Pista – a turbocharged,V8, 710bhp track car (or ‘weekend racer’ for those with €240,000 to invest in such a thing).
100km/h in less than 3s, 340km/h top speed and a Side Slip Angle Control system to keep it stuck to the road.
Profligate, but ever so pretty.

(*The Ferraris won every single time, but still.)
