Geneva ‘74 50 years on: Michelotti Lem. The Laboratorio Elettrico Mobile has started as an idea by engineering journalist Gianni Rogliatti who proposed an electric car with wheels in a rhomboidal layout. Michelotti built the prototype using bonded aluminium with the centrally placed rear wheel driven by 48 Volt batteries. It was displayed 50 years ago at the 44th Geneva Motor Show

Nothing important to see here. Just a man at the checkout buying some aluminium and hard cheese.  (Did you never wonder where he got all those aluminium sheets from in Oathbringer?) Anyway, nothing wrong with being prepared. What would you pack for a journey to Roshar?

Bandit9 Motors' EVE Odyssey !

0-60 faster than an Indy car, a top speed over 260 kmh, experience up to 2g's accelerating, and cover 250 miles without emitting any CO2.

Truly handmade, the motorcycle takes 3 months to craft from scratch to the brilliant final form. 

Brushed with a brilliant finish, the 7075 aluminium used in the bodywork is known for its high strength, toughness, and resistance to fatigue.

Steel Inquisitors "see" with metalsight (the blue lines that steelpush/ironpull allomancers see), right.

And aluminum is allomantically inert and doesn't give the blue line, right.

So would a Steel Inquisitor walk into a panel of aluminum the way a bird flies into a clear glass window?

Renault Project 900 Series II, 1959. The same team that produced the first 900 prototype also made a second car. The main difference between the two was that the V8 engine in the green car was moved further forward and in front on the rear wheels to create a mid-engine layout to improve the car's handling. Both 900 prototypes used aluminium bodywork to reduce weight. Project 900 was abandoned, not just because of doubts over whether the market would accept such a radical concept for a flagship model but also on cost grounds. Because of a deal with AMC, their flagship Frégate saloon was replaced in Renault's showrooms by the Rambler Classic Six, assembled in Belgium (early examples were US imports) from CKD kits and badged as the Rambler Renault. It wasn't until 1975 that Renault would again make their own executive class car with the V6 engined 30TS.

Aluminium has low density (for a metal), high conductivity, and is fairly durable, making it an ideal material for making vehicle bodies, cookware, and metal packaging.
