Read about the Submarine museum in Melaka so decided to have a look since I am interested in nautical stuff. The museum is located at Pantai Klebang area. Official website : http://www.perzim.gov.my/en/portfolio/muzium-kapal-selam/ Google map coordinates : https://www.google.com.sg/maps/place/Submarine+Museum/@2.2114913,102.1992464,16z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0xb0b6521d9bc8af2!8m2!3d2.2105036!4d102.1974447 Entrance fee was RM5. Never gotten the chance to visit the submarine in SG. So now is the chance to see a real submarine and the tight spaces inside. Not a very big submarine but sufficient to see the cramp quarters inside. There are two decommissioned fighter jets on site too. As you enter the bow, its the torpedo space. There are sleeping bunks above. Drivers seats. Dive dive dive!!!! Periscope stand, green in colour. Mess room Galley. Machinery control space Escape hatch. Newspaper cutting at the exit. Rear of the sub. Can see the exhaust nozzle.

National Corvette Museum may preserve sinkhole as tourist attraction
Deeq posted a blog entry in MyAutoBlog
The people at the National Corvette Museum are hoping to turn a catastrophe into an opportunity for continued success. Since all eight cars eaten by the 40-foot wide and 60-foot deep sinkhole were removed and put on display, the museum has seen an uptick in visitors to check the wrecked 'Vettes out. According to CNN, attendance was up over 50 percent for March. The next step might be stabilizing the hole and making it a permanent part of the Skydome hall along with some of the most damaged cars. Several of the eight Corvettes appear to be salvageable as well. The museum's board of directors meets with restorers in May to decide the next step. However, a few of them, like the Mallett Hammer, might be beyond repair. It now looks like little more than a twisted ball of metal and may remain on display in that condition. The board is also considering what to do about the sinkhole. "There is a possibility of leaving it here. Whether, it's just a portion or all of it, having a bridge over it, stairs that go down in it, a glass floor on top where you can look down," said Katie Frassinelli from the National Corvette Museum to CNN. "We're talking to the construction company and engineers just to see the possibilities." It would definitely be a unique exhibit. -
The final Corvette, Z06 "Mallett Hammer", recovered from museum sinkhole
Deeq posted a blog entry in MyAutoBlog
The National Corvette Museum has recovered the last of eight cars that disappeared into a sinkhole underneath the building two months ago. The 2001 "Mallett Hammer" Z06 is hardly recognizable after being crushed by rocks, rubble and the weight of several other cars. Most of its body was left stuck in the dirt, upside down, as the perimeter frame and drivetrain components were pulled from the hole. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWJSDwUUlqk "The 2001 Mallett Hammer Z06 was one of two Corvettes that's whereabouts were initially unknown after the sinkhole happened," the museum noted. "The car was finally discover this Monday, upside down with the nose pointing towards the red Spire in the center of the room. It is, by far, the most heavily damaged of all eight Corvettes." Customized by Mallett Cars, the Z06 was tuned to produce 700 horsepower and 575 lb-ft of torque. It claimed a quarter-mile run of 10.6 seconds at 128 mph, and reached 181 mph on a one-mile top-speed event. Now that all of the Corvettes have been recovered from the sinkhole, engineers will continue to stabilize the walls before beginning the reconstruction process. -
A 1993 40th Anniversary Chevrolet Corvette is unstrapped from the crane that removed it from a sinkhole at the National Corvette Museum on Monday. Two of the eight Corvettes swallowed Feb. 12 by a sinkhole at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Ky., were lifted out of the hole and placed back in the showroom. As a crowd of spectators cheered and thousands of viewers watched online, the 2009 ZR1 Blue Devil -- one of two cars on loan from General Motors -- and the 1993 Ruby Red 40th anniversary edition were lifted by a crane and placed at ground level. The Blue Devil, which appears to have endured minor damage during its nearly 30-foot plunge, was driven about 20 feet to the museum's doorway, said Katie Frassinelli, a museum spokeswoman. Video of the retrieval showed that the Ruby Red 40th anniversary edition sustained broken windows and severe damage to its front and rear. Retrieval of a black 1962 model will be much "trickier" as a five-ton slab of concrete rests on the front of the vehicle, the museum said. Two cranes will be used to simultaneously lift the car and the concrete, the museum said. Other Corvettes to be retrieved are a 1993 ZR-1 Spyder, the other car on loan from GM; a 1984 PPG pace car; the 1-millionth Vette, built in 1992; a 2001 Mallett Hammer Z06; and the 2009 1.5-millionth Corvette. Recovery of the vehicles is expected to take through Aug. The museum plans to display each vehicle after it is recovered until all eight are taken together to a small shop within GM Design in suburban Detroit for restoration. Webcams are positioned around the sinkhole and pictures are available on the museum's Web site.

A 40-foot sinkhole opened up under the National Corvette Museum in Kentucky on Wednesday and swallowed eight collector cars, including the historic one millionth Corvette built in 1992. No injuries were reported, but a 1993 ZR-1 Spyder and a 2009 ZR1 “Blue Devil” on loan from General Motors Co were among the iconic cars piled up in the gaping pit. It seems almost Biblical in a way, to have the ground open up and swallow the cream of the collection of the museum, what are the odds? Alarms went off early Wednesday morning in the “Skydome” area and museum security officers who rushed to the scene discovered the sinkhole, 25 to 30 feet (7.6 to 9m) deep. The Bowling Green Fire Department estimated its width at 40 feet (12m). Security camera footage posted on the museum’s web site shows two cars falling in as the hole opens up. Museum spokeswoman Laura Johnson said other cars near the sinkhole have been safely removed, and the museum was now trying to find a way to pull up the damaged Corvettes. Evidently, 'what to do next' includes moving other cars in their collection that might be at risk due to the sinkhole. Because the museum operates so many webcams, it's been possible to follow the action unfolding live. Teams of people have been pushing Corvette display cars of all years and descriptions through the museum's carpeted halls, but it isn't immediately clear where these cars are going. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0im-l411P1M http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5FG9_mGWPo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbQF8_ZcwQk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k05VvKHsWaw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IukDWhf7U9I

If you are an automotive nut and are visiting the United States in the near future, then read on. There is an automotive museum in Los Angeles, United States known as the Petersen Automotive Museum. It is one of the world's largest automotive museums in the world. Spanning over 300,000 square feet, the museum holds more than 150 vehicles at any one time. The museum has another 300 plus vehicles in an on-site storage and these vehicles are waiting for a chance to be exhibited. Most of the exhibitions held there change frequently every three to seven months and individually exhibited vehicles and smaller exhibitions change more frequently. In the near future, there will be several special exhibitions and one of them is the 'Corvette 60th anniversary' exhibition. There will be a display of twenty historic Corvettes from all model generations and also Corvette concept models. This special exhibition will run from February 27th to March 31st 2013. Another upcoming special event is the 'Aerodynamics: From Art to Science' exhibition. The showcase will present visitors with an overview of the landmarks of aerodynamic design over the past century. There will be over a dozen vehicles exhibited and it will run from June 16th to May 27th 2013. An interesting feature of the museum is an underground vault where many of the museum's rare treasures are kept. Initially, the public were not allowed to visit the underground vault. But recently, the museum held guided public tours there during the 2012 December holidays. After overwhelming popularity of the guided public tours, the museum has extended these tours indefinitely. That means the public will get a chance to see some of the rare vehicles the museum has. If you are greatly interested to visit this wonderful automotive museum, check out more details on their website below.

[extract] When Porsche first opened its original museum in 1976, it was relatively small in size and it could hold around 20 cars at any given time. In 2009, the company opened a new museum in Zuffenhausen, just next to its headquarters. The new museum is much grander in scope and bigger in scale and the new place could hold 80 exhibits at a given time. To show off the new home of Porsche

[extract] Tucked in a corner at The Petersen Automotive Museum is a bright yellow De Tomaso Pantera. The De Tomaso Pantera was an Italian super car produced from 1970 up till 1991 and over 7000 units were ever made. But the Pantera in this museum is no ordinary exotic supercar. It used to belong to Elvis Presley, who once shot this car and the bullet holes are still there to prove that this was the King

What would you do if you have a Ferrari in your possession and when you want to sell it, nobody wants to buy? One of the things you could do is to turn it into a show car and that is what the Colombian national police force has done. Apparently nobody wanted to buy or dared to buy it because the previous owner used to be a drug kingpin. The Ferrari 348 TS used to belong to a dangerous Colombian drug lord named Luis Hernando Gomez Bustamante. When he was captured in 2004, the Colombian police seized his money and other properties which consist of 68 farms, 24 offices and 17 parking lots. All those items are worth over US$100 million. One of the items seized was a Ferrari 348 TS you see in the picture above. Luis Hernando Gomez Bustamante was extradited to the United States in 2007 on charges of money laundering, drug smuggling and many more. The Ferrari 348 TS was seized by the Colombian
