Bookstore In A Church

The contemporary building interior of the Bookstore Selexyz Dominicanen was designed by Merkx+Girod architects in Maastricht, Netherlands for the Dutch booksellers Selexyz Dominicanen. Merkx+Girod were commissioned by the Dutch booksellers to convert the interior of the former Dominican Church in Maastricht into a modern bookstore. For the same client M+G had previously designed two bookstores in The Hague and Almere. The unique location in Maastricht however asked for a very different approach. The store demanded 1,200 sq m of commercial area where only 750 were available

Italian Police Crashed New Lamborghini Gallardo

Lamborghini's gift of a Gallardo LP560-4 to the Italian State Police, equipped in full police regalia, for patrol duty on the highways and byways of central and southern Italy.

The car struck a row of parked cars while being piloted through the streets of Cremona. Officially, the story is that the officer driving the Lamborghini swerved to avoid another car in the roadway that had cut it off. Two policemen were in the car, and though the passenger got out with only bruises, the driver suffered crushed vertebra and a broken rib. Both are expected to recover fully.

The Gallardo, however, is not so lucky. Though it might be repairable, it will never be the car it once was: A GPS-logging, radar-gun-wielding, live-digital-video-broadcasting, gun-equipped terror of all things fast.

Luxury Spanish Funeral Cars

This past weekend, the International Classic Vehicle Salon in Madrid put together an impressive collection of ornate funeral vehicles, the likes of which we’ve only ever previously seen in ones or twos rather than gathered together for display. Together they make for an impressive spread, exhibiting fine and extensive carvings on their magnificent coachwork.

Miguel Caballero Covián, who has in the past sent us photos of collectible American cars in Spain for the Lost and Found column in Hemmings Classic Car, forwarded a number of photos of the half-dozen or so funeral coaches on display at the show, some of them looking as though they could be put into service tomorrow, if needed. Thanks, Miguel!
