For a hero, the only fear is fear itself – but that didn’t stop the legendary Evel Knievel, who over the course of his career attempted more than 75 incredible ramp-to-ramp motorcycle jumps to become an icon of bravery and charisma. Evel Knievel represented a unique mix of showmanship and spirit that continues to inspire people to this today.

The car that invented the hot hatch set a pretty high bar for all that came after it. Gunhild Liljequist was tasked with creating a set of features that would set the GTI's interior apart from the standard Golf. Her contributions became legendary in car interior design and the bright tartan plaid upholstery is the inspiration behind these awesome socks.

A sentient supercomputer on wheels, KITT was the ultimate TV car. He wasn't just a cool way for The Hoff's character to get around fighting crime while delivering peak levels of Hoffness. He was a next-level A.I. co-star with a dry sense of humour and a futuristic red scanner light above the front bumper. In the mods list, the option "All" is selected, but the Turbo Boost is the one that still brings back so many memories.

The Lancaster had a very tough and durable airframe. It gained a reputation for consistently being able to fly the return journey on only two engines, and even on a single engine for short distances. The standard crew consisted of seven men. The pilot, the flight engineer (there were no controls on the other cockpit seat, so there was no co-pilot), the bomb aimer (who doubled as an operator for the nose turret gun as needed), the navigator, the wireless operator for comms, the 360° mid-upper gun turret operator, and finally the rear gunner. The initial underside turret was quickly dropped, considered pointless for being too slow and hard to operate in order to keep a target within its sights.

A lightweight, track-engineered, affordable car that can be built from a kit... Initially developed and sold by Lotus, the Caterham Seven has been around for years, but its unparalleled combination of driving joy, raw passion, and nostalgia still make this cult car the track day choice of today.

With the Type 72, Lotus established the single-seater layout that's still in use over 50 years later, effectively ending the 'cigar-shaped' F1 era. With 3 Constructors' and 2 Drivers' Championships, the 72 holds the record for the longest time between first and last victories for any F1 chassis.

Paddock legend is often made not by the most victorious cars, but by the most unforgettable. Driven by Senna and painted in bright yellow, the Lotus 99T certainly cuts the mustard.

The MP4/6 was the crown jewel of the 1991 F1 season when Ayrton Senna won his third and last title. Sporting the now infamous barcode tobacco sponsorship, it also brought to a close an era of McLaren and Honda's dominance of the sport.

The 80s were a simpler time. Then, what was rapidly spreading around the globe was arcade mania. One of the most memorable heroes of the arcade was OutRun, a racing video game that defined the genre for decades, and still makes 80s kids nostalgic at the sight of beautifully pixelated palm trees and a Testarossa's rear end.

A sort of ugly duckling of the USAF, the Curtiss P-40 'Warhawk' was ubiquitous in the first half of World War II, becoming famous for its sturdiness and extraordinary ability to withstand punishment.

Carrol Shelby joined American V8 power with European styling and chassis to create one of the most iconic sports cars ever. The Cobra was a fast, light rocket on wheels. With the introduction of the insanely powerful 427, Shelby not only built America's fastest production car - he immortalised the legend of the mighty Cobra.

Much like Carroll Shelby pushed the boundaries of performance and style, the Heel Tread sock collection aims to do the same.

Would anyone remember the Delorean if it wasn't for Back To The Future? Probably not. Instead, it has become the most famous four wheeled time machine in film history. This failed 130bhp 'supercar' did 0-60mph in 10 seconds and took so long to reach 88mph that it had Doc Brown shouting "Great Scott!" But that's besides the point isn't it?

The Hawker Typhoon - a powerful, potent ground attack aircraft that redressed the balance in mainland Europe during World War Two. This particular unit - RB396 - had a short but illustrious career. Built in November 1944 and delivered to 83GSU at RAF Westhampnett by ATA pilot Anna Leska, she then joined 174 Squadron on the continent. The aircraft was flown by many pilots, but mainly by Frank Johnson. She was flown by Sidney Russel-Smith on 28th March 1945 picking up flak damage - one of eighteen occasions on which this happened in her four month life. Finally, at the hands of Chris House, she was damaged again, this time resulting in a forced landing near Denekamp on the 1st April 1945.

The 'icon of icons'. If you had to name only one American World War II icon, you'd be hard-pressed to find a more suitable candidate than the olive-paintj Willys Jeep. Widely recognised for its tactical and operational duties on the battlefield it was a key factor of the war effort. By the end of WWII, more than 360,000 were made and it had picked up the nickname 'Jeep' that quickly became the overall brand name.
