Wow; 60 Vintage Cars Found after 50 Years of Neglect on French Farm, Worth £12 Million

These days, when the entire world has been mapped by GPS, there’re still prized hidden treasures left to discover. After calling in auctioneers, the grandchildren of entrepreneur Roger Baillon found of 60 vintage automobiles in the era of 1930’s to the 1950’s left to rust in sheds on the family’s farm in western France could be worth £12 million or more at auction. These aren’t your run-of-the-mill 1930,s vintage automobiles, either if such a thing exists. One Talbot-Lago in the collection had earlier been owned by Egyptian King Farouk and a Ferrari had been used in the filming of a movie with Jane Fonda. Along with the sporadic Maserati in this collection, Baillon had intended to construct a museum with his unique collection. But when things didn’t go as anticipated, though, he had to sell 50 cars, and the rest of the collection was forgotten. The vintage collection will be put up for auction in Paris on February 6th, 2015. Moreover if any cars unfit for restoration will be sold for spare parts.

This type of thing doesn’t happen often enough and above all, you go into this profession for discoveries like this. Indeed, this is actually a treasure. I’ve to say that when we arrived here, we found ourselves overcome with emotion. It was really a case of waking up sleeping beauty. This was everywhere between a metallic graveyard and a museum. Nature had taken a hold, over the many years. Ivy had invaded a car and completely covered its wheel, while weeds had taken root in a passenger compartment as easily as in a greenhouse. It was thought that everything had been sold, and its existence had been elapsed about. And here, just found the magnificent lost collection! Certain cars, much like paintings or sculptures, are works of art, created by artists! Not only the engineering, but their styling reflects the history of design. Ferrari 250 GT California SWB a legendary name in the automobile world. And without any doubt this car is surely unique. Only 37 examples of this model were built making it tremendously rare. Every example has been carefully documented by historians and this one was thought to be lost. We have luckily found it. Source: Charismatic Planet

World’s First Bike Escalator

As you all know very well, that bicycling is an inexpensive and healthy way to get around, but a steep hill can become a casual cyclist’s Achilles’ heel. Fortunately, the Norwegian city of Trondheim has a solution to this problem a “bike escalator”.

This is well invented in the 1990’s by a commuter who grew tired of showing up to work sweaty and tired, the Trampe lift, freshly upgraded and reinvented as the “CycloCable”, has already carried over 200,000 bicyclists up this 150m-long cyclist deterrent. The inquisitive escalator has become a sightseer electromagnet as well.

The Cyclists who place one foot on the escalator’s angled platform will be pushed uphill at a speed of five mph. Up to five people can use it at the same time and it is not limited to bicycles, as it can carry basically any trivial wheeled transport with its owner, be it a kid with scooter or a mother with a baby stroller.

Installing this invention is obviously a great way to boost cycling in hilly cities, but they’ll have to be quite busy one meter of this elevator costs around USD 2,000 to 3,000. Fantastic! What an improvement for cyclists. Just love the kid with his scooter and woman with the pram Ingenious.

How to Make Glow-in-the-Dark Table with Photo luminescent Resin?

As high-tech and alien as this glow-in-the-dark table might seem, it can really be made right at home! Therefore all you need is some planks of Pecky cypress wood, photo luminescent powder, resin, some tools, and a slight elbow grease.

Mike Warren an Instructables enthusiast and the blogger behind the Man Crafts column at dollarstorecrafts.com, came up with a set of instructions for creating this table. By mixing the photo luminescent powder with the resin and using it to fill the holes that form naturally in Pecky cypress wood, you can make striking and naturally-shaped areas that’ll glow in the dark after charging up on sunlight.

If you have got the tools and the know-how, then check out Warren’s Instructable for instructions. His table and how it looks can be found below. TechnoGlow pigments are considered a harmless substance under OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.1200 and have been tested to meet and exceed compliance with ASTM F963-03 on Toy Safety. Indeed this is very useful and maybe also slightly radioactive, perfect as kid’s playground.

Megayacht That Looks Like the Batmobile

This is truly incredible Megayacht which can be used as a glamorous party venue, floating showroom or private vessel, the Xhibitionist is definitely a boat designed to turn heads. The amazing 75 metres long vessel is an extravagant, versatile yacht which even comes with its own supercar. Keeping the unique automotive theme, the Xhibitionist has an ample space for a car showroom and “engine room”, complete with exposed engines displayed behind glass walls. This is beautifully designed by Swedish-based car designer Eduard Gray, the slick ship's interior is decked out in Art Nouveau decor, with classic touches alike a Steinway piano, a dual staircase, and fine crystal Baccarat lighting. If you want to purchase it, then you need heavy bank account of 2 million euros (£16million) for a “basic” model.

Moreover; solar panels fold out from under a sleek car-hood-like deck to power the ship, and the panels double up as a concert space or helipad with space for three helicopters. The fly deck even features a Jacuzzi, and by night, the  superyacht glows in the dark thanks to ocean LED lighting. Well as for the Xhibitionist's price? 'As far as investments go, the 75 m luxury yacht Xhibitionist idea looks like more of a real estate and marketing venture than a yacht.

A Splendid Sculpture Made Of Living Breathing Trees

Well a building doesn’t have to be a too dry and dead thing. The Italian artist “Giuliano Mauri’s” epic Cattedrale Vegetale (or Tree Cathedral) is the textbook example of architecture that, in its place of competing with or complementing nature, is fairly literally a part of it. The late artist’s two groves of trees are destined to grow into a pair of superb basilicas.

The framework columns perceived in these photographs will ultimately rot away and decay, to be replaced by the hornbeam trees planted in the center of each frame. As these grow, their canopies will mesh together to form the vaulted ceiling of a Gothic cathedral.

Mauri, who was passed away in 2009, actually laid the groundwork for his first visionary cathedral in Valsugana, Italy in 2002. The framework of the cathedral at the foot of Mount Arera in the northern Italian region of Lombardy was well completed in 2010.  Source: Charismatic Planet

The Stray Cat Accidentally Turned Itself Green

This is not a Photoshop that’s a real-life green cat that has been stalking the streets of Varna, Bulgaria. The residents stumped by its unusual color were led on a hunt to find out the secret of its unnatural coloration. At first, concerned people thought the stray had been the target of a mischievous prank.

But the truth turned out to be a bit less sinister, however the cat had been sleeping on a bag of powdered green paint at a local garage, and the cat seems not to mind the color, and neither does her friend. The first feeling was that someone had played a cruel joke on the cat by painting it green. Even residents had even created a Facebook group to coordinate their search for the culprits.

The truth, however, was somewhat less reprehensible it was discovered that the cat had taken a liking to sleeping in a pile of powdered green paint at a local garage. Thus far, efforts to capture the cat and clean it or review it for health issues have been ineffective. Though, neither the cat nor its friends seem very bothered by its strange coat!
