Hemmings Auto Museum


In the main street of Bennington, Vermont is a little old petrol station - the Hemmings Garage - home of the Hemmings motor publishing empire. Hemmings produce a range of classic auto magazines and blogs. For anyone interested in classic and unusual autos, the Hemmings Blog is a must read - http://blog.hemmings.com/

The Need For Speed - Red Bull Hangar 7


What do you do if you are the multi-millionaire Austrian owner of a high energy sports drink with a fetish for speed? Well, you build yourself a state-of-the-art hanger complex at Salsburg airport and fill it with everything that interests you. Dietrich Mateschitz' Hanger Seven complex is certainly very impressive. It has a great collection of aircraft and a fine restaurant. Here is a link to the website -http://www.hangar-7.com/
