A bit more down to earth. I remember truly lusting after a T140 Bonneville - I had a Trophy 250 at the time. Triumph were advertising in the mags - IIRC the Bonnie was something like £560

Always loved Mamood miniature steam engines - we had one when we were kids and I remember happy times setting it up with our dad and the great smell of meths.

Sorry, but for some reason Klunk's image reminded me of it.
I do like some of the steampunk stuff;

but you can't beat a big bit of industrial machinery for 'gosh that looks interesting I wonder how it works' type stuff;

BRM V16 - lovely car, engine and the sound always makes the hairs on the back of my hair stand up.
Standing next to one at Silverstone as they warmed it up is one of my abidign memories. 40 blokes all stood round grinnign with blood runnign out of their ears. One of the few cars you could hear doing a whole lap of the circuit.

The world's largest earth mover by German firm Krupp.
Not beautiful by any stretch but Jesus - it's bloody massive. Imagine the size of its balls 😆
EDIT: @ Klunk - hmmm....quite a disturbing picture of cammo compound bow on slightly cripsy bottom sheet...
derek - better representation of it's awesomeness:

Stoner - I feel like I need a long hot shower after that, I somehow feel sullied. What a disturbing piece of film.

i'm not usually a fan of 'old stuff' - but i do like the mechanism of a sewing machine, it's really clever. and i like the pedal-powered nature of the old singers.
they make a lovely sound too.
Firstly there's this. Mankind's greatest achievement in my humble opinion:

Then there's this. You can forget your F-16s or Tornados, this is what I went to airshows in the 1980s to see as a child:

And I'm also a bit of a Mk2 Golf nerd too:

Rusty, is the hangar in that picture far away or too small? If it is the latter they will pop the airship when they try to put it away.

Medical imaging. Amazing stuff.
My White Industries freewheel is lovely. Was almost reluctant to put it on my bike as it was such a beautiful thing!

not only does it feel like you're being loaded into a washing machine it sounds like a badly loaded one too.
I was amazed at quite how much banging and thumping there was when I went in one.

It is a shame that so many interesting, beautiful objects are purely there for destruction.
Jet engines (of all descriptions)

All those parts spinning ridiculously fast at extremely tight tolerances, working at high temps. 1000's of them all over the world and on the whole, they just work (which is probably a good thing!)
And I know there's been a pic of it already, but it probably deserves another one. Still sad to think they aren't flying anymore:

Test drove a VW b us on Sunday and the engine note made me get the 'oh thats lovely' feeling!
Also, had the same feeling about my White industries freewheel when I fitted it to my old Paddy Wagon
