BAM! POW!! ZLONK! The original black with red trim Batmobile driven by caped crusader Adam West in the 1960s TV show is set to go up for auction again - expected to fetch more than $6 million. The No. 1 Batmobile has a V-8 engine and a three-speed automatic transmission. It was originally a 1955 Lincoln Futura concept car - a vehicle designed by Mercury's chief stylist Bill Schmidt after he went scuba diving with a shark. Hence the Futura came with a full-width grille and extreme tail fins. Legendary car customizer George Barris purchased the car - which cost $250,000 to build - for $1. Television network ABC hired Barris to build the Batmobile and, because of production deadlines, Barris had to build it in three weeks. He changed the nose and tail into bat-inspired shapes among other tweaks. The car is loaded with gadgets, including a Batphone, a Bat-Ray Projector and tires that inflate automatically. The overly campy show possibly best known for onomatopoeia, ran from 1966 until 1968. The Batmobile sold in 2013 at the same auction for $4.2 million (U.S.). "I really liked Batman growing up and I came here with the intention of buying the car," said Phoenix-area business owner Rick Champagne in 2013. "That was a dream come true." The highest bidder will also receive historical memorabilia from Barris' private collection and items from the current owner's private collection, including an Adam West-signed Batmobile pinball machine.

If you have a thing for British station wagons, it's well-worth rolling around the block in Mateusz Waldowski's LEGO version of the 1977 Ford Granada MK1.

Looking inside these classic vehicles from futuristic movies will (almost) make you forget about the Avengers for a minute.

From the novel The White Knight this is batman's ride driven by the joker.
Unlike some of my other batman builds, this one very much favours a studs-up approach. And sadly, despite my best efforts, this one is not child friendly. In fact it's barely adult friendly. Best not to touch it actually, because something will probably fall off.
A small build I did for an exhibition last week end. Decided to finally use those batman cockpit parts. LDD file available on my website.
It's no secret or surprise that I still prefer the 67 Mustangs more than the new ones, but with Ford releasing the new 2020 Mustang Shelby GT500, it's becoming a very close second to the 67's model in my favorite cars book. I'm really glad that Ford have returned back to the 2015 headlights cut, loved it way more than the next ones. So I took this opportunity to build my own 2020 Mustang from LEGO bricks, built at the scale of 1:16, including full interior, engine bay details, functional doors, hood and trunk, this model took me exactly 1 month to finish, was very enjoyable to replicate this beast. Hope you guys like it. Thanks for looking
