super cars collecting dust: in the most unlikley of places
the ex shah of iran had a knack for exclusive sports cars (as one can imagine) and had a collection of rarities that were left behind when he fled the revolution. finally someone has managed to photograph the stable of cars collecting dust under the islamic republic. surely one day they will be only specimens with such limited miles on the odometers. above are a few pictures from the spanish mag that managed to capture it all. by xy

I actually never wanted a car…
MERCEDES BENZ 600 Pullman Laundalet
the ultimate limo is the pullman 600. been always a fan for this first and last ever graceful limo. funny enough some of the most famous owners of the 600 include elizabeth taylor, john lennon, jason kay, aristotle onassis, nicolae ceauşescu, josip broz-tito, chairman mao tse-tung and both kings… of iran and of rock and roll, elvis presley! by dd

john lennon: the glitch in imagine
was listening to lennon’s imagine and got to the bit about : “imagine no possessions, i wonder if you can…” and was picturing the footage of lennon and yoko in the back of their white rolls royce and thought… i wonder if you can, john? I suppose not. any how the man was amazing and the world is less great without him but this no-possession business just doesn’t work so well. the rest i can deal with and agree but I need a few of ma’ things around. by dd
