"An unpopular opinion concerning politics or religion lies concealed in the breast of every man; in many cases not only one sample, but several. The more intelligent the man, the larger the freightage of this kind of opinions he carries, and keeps to himself." --Mark Twain
This blog is about my hobby of collecting and smoking pipes. I do not collect the very finest and most expensive pipes. I do not have a large income and I collect the pipes that I can afford. Such is one of the beauties of pipe smoking: there's room for everyone, if you can find your niche.
I have three other blogs: Blogonomicon, wherein I focus on my other interests of books and music and blog on various other topics that interest, amuse, and outrage me; The Last Ancient House, which is a collection of fiction and poetry inspired by H.P. Lovecraft; and The Hunter Chronicles: The Diary of a Vampire Hunter, another fiction project which is still largely a work in progress.
The Cellar
You can view my infrequently updated stash of pipe tobacco at my online tobacco cellar.
This is another photo I found with no explanation. If anyone has information on what this vehicle is, please leave a comment. Otherwise...well, here it is.
It looks to me like something Mr. Bean would probably run over.
The Brutsch Rollera was first manufactured in 1951 in Germany, this was not a successful vehicle however with just eight vehicles being produced. A couple of years later the company introduced the Brutsch Mopetta. This vehicle was a single seater and powered by a 49cc engine. At just 1.70 m long and 0.88 m wide the vehicle was the Worlds smallest 3-wheeler until 1965 when the Peel 50 was produced by the Peel Engineering Company. Only 14 Brutsch Mopetta’s were ever built. Manufacture ceased in 1958.
