Bing Crosby was such a dude, they named a search engine after him. His gorgeous 1966 Aston Martin DB5 is up for auction, a car I’d happily trade for my 1994 XJS.

Nice illustration work on Flickr from some obscure Russian chap. Bravo I say.

Behold the Lamborghini Akonian Concept car. Of course, like any good prototype, this will never see the light of day, but full credit to Dave Lamborghini and his team for their striking design.

Bugatti

Formula 1 driver Jenson Button is selling his Bugatti Veyron on AutoTrader for a mere £899,995. This most beastly of vehicles can do 0-60mph in an incomprehensible 2.5 seconds, courtesy of its 1,001bhp 8-litre engine. At that price it’s a steal, and I can’t imagine it’d cost more than a few hundred quid to ensure fully comp.

Deathmobile

The legendary Animal House Deathmobile hits Craigslist. Practical? Of course not! Fun? You bet your right bollock! It’s a snip at $20k.

Jimmy Blanche has recently departed for the garage in the sky, leaving an incredible collection of vintage vehicles.

Bmwad-1

BMW’s monster billboard in Moscow is so large it sports actual vehicles on its surface.

If you own one of these models and you’re short on a few spare parts, this presents an ideal movey-saving, ladder-extending opportunity.

Bogus crash scenes

Boguscrash

With Paul Gadd off the radar, Thai police clearly have too much time on their hands. They’ve been busy creating mock accident scenes to deter drink drivers. One can’t help but wonder whether this will prove to be more of a distraction than a deterrent, but who am I to question the credibility of the Thai plod?
