Achieving liberation through your ride…

Liberation machines

The promise of good carry tools

Unless you own the odd oil-tanker, our automobiles are pretty much our biggest carry tools.

They hold that awesome promise of helping us get away from it all – ditching our commitments and living in the moment. The bigger the ride, the further you can go.

…hmmm, well they kinda did before we realised all that stuff about our planet suffocating.

But for just a moment, here’s to reliving some of those escape promises. Achieving liberation through your machine…

A bit of classic Aussie heritage - The Sandman panel van

Whether it’s for play or for work…

Yeah, the Europeans did it with a little more style…

Or maybe a lot more style?

There's beauty in utility

Nice

Notes:

The Euro shots are from an epic little Flickr set called Autografik.

Ando will write reviews that run for pages, he’ll never think a carry piece is fully resolved, and he’ll always call it out if it should be. Oh, and he’s a co-founder of Carryology.
