Mad Fabricators 6 wild schenanigans

I've been asked before to participate in other car themed movies/DVD, but I've always gracefully declined the offers, until my friend Piero DeLuca asked me to be part in the latest Mad Fabricators installment number 6.
After having done some driving scenes and interviews month ago, with my 31 coupe, it was time to shoot the epic brainchild of Piero's, the downtown Los Angeles nightshot. Seven cars would be driven across the 4th street bridge, 3rd street tunnel and some crazy underground street where oval portholes offer the only glimpse of the night sky, vaguely familiar from the movie "The Soloist" with Robert Downey Jr and Jamie Foxx.

Underground was where things got wild, homeless onlookers witnessed a seven car drag race, with Tim Sutton and Brad Masterson leading the pack and the rest of us following, peeling out and burning rubber. It was great fun and I sure hope it translates to DVD.

Thanks to all the guys that were there that night, it was fun. Surprisingly no arrests were made.

Here are some crappy pics from that night, September 4th 2011

Smugmug and my photography

Art is in the eye of the beholder, we all know that but I would never call my shit art, thats for others to decide. I however dabble in photography, I've done many features and articles over the years, for various car magazines, even made some ok money doing it, but first and foremost I dig having a creative outlet that doesnt involve powertools and heavy labor.
Here are some of my meager attempts to be artsi through photography.

Here is a link to my smugmug page.

I've neglected this little blog for quite some time. Here is another, some might say, bragging post. Bottom line is, my little 50 Ford custom shoebox got it's first cover, on European Rolls & Pleats magazine coming out in September 2011.

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.
