End of Year Run 2010

Every year I take a little drive, to clear my head and have fun with my trusty little hot rod.
This year I took the famous Mulholland Drive in Hollywood CA and ended up at the Hollywood Bowl.

the DRAGGERS - a hotrod roadmovie

As a Swiss/German guy,  living in Los Angeles, videos like this make me proud. These guys are doing it, living their own dream, taking care of business and not giving a shit, I can admire that.
Here is a video of the German based (Munich) car club, the Draggers.

The loss of a dreamcar

The 57 Thunderbird had always been my wife Gloria's dream car of all times, ever since she was a little girl.
Finally in 2008 her dream came true and we found the perfect car, even the color was right "BLACK".
We enjoyed many trouble free miles together.
Sadly, the T-bird was stolen in October 2010 from our house in Hollywood CA, and was never recovered.
One month after the theft, I was asked, by the insurance company, to send in, the title, to finalize the paperwork.
We will never see "Stella" as she called the car, again.

Long Beach Motorama 2010

The greatest car show ever.

Jack Calori's 1936 Ford three window coupe, custom

I get obsessed with certain cars from time to time, but this specific vehicle, to me, is one of the greatest american custom cars ever built.

Ventura Nationals 2010

The first annual Ventura Nationals car show was held at the Ventura CA fairgrounds, just steps away from the Pacific ocean.
With all the palm trees, this is as Californian as it gets.
