A few shots from the day my buddy received the car – so amazing in person. A few angles and shots you don’t normally see that I found interesting…
Complete set will be posted once my buddy sees em’ LOL.
Early start.
Off to C&C in the 458, led by my buddies 430…
Date with a 458.
I had the opportunity to do a quick shoot for one of the first 458’s to be delivered in Southern California…quick shot, more to come. All I can say is that 20″ wheels, black dash/CF Steering wheel, two tone seats and painted side-skirts make a HUGE difference.
Cars & Lees 6.26.10
Some good stuff – I’m guessing we’re going to see a black 458 show up at C&C soon, first non-dealer car has been delivered here in SoCal! In the meantime, here’s this weekends take.
Sweet 599 on Novitecs…we’re seeing a “barrage” of 599’s showing up now, prices have come down (relatively) so it’s great to see this nice GT getting into the hands of more fortunate people.
Someone needs to loan this dude some offset…PLEASE LOL. HellaNOTFlush.
Nice 16M that shows up every once in awhile – CF sideskirts (nice option) but it breaks into the color too much for my taste. Car is SLAMMED too.
Mean red SL65 Black Series – “Hammer” on the calipers (not MC) but regardless – you can’t touch this. (Cheesy, but true)
Hammer leaving the lot…”please don’t hurt em” – damn I know a lot of Hammer songs LOL.
Quick shot for the boys at DPE – 6.3 BS w/Flat black vinyl on some nice DPE multi-piece.
Cars & Lees 6.20.10
Actually shocked I took so many pics this time around…seemed to be a lot of old school Skylines. A good overall turnout, perhaps because it was fathers day weekend?
R35 Skyline GTR on some nice LM’s…appear to be the special editions, but nowadays anyone can paint centers and get red caps.
Old School Skyline Coupe – mighty sick…
A buddy pointed out that this was in “Animal House” which to be honest, I’ve never seen…something I’m too young to remember for once! LOL.
NICE 510!! Actually shot this for my buddy Miki who had the sickest turtle…go do this man!
Rear end shot w/flares of another old school Skyline.
Can’t think of “Old School” JDM without mentioning the NSX. Sick all black NSX on some Volks…
Supercharged Scuderia via Novitec Rosso…this seems to be a GMG customer who shows up at C&C and local car shows a lot. Great car.
I think Tony would wear Laker Purple and Gold for this engine bay…
Lotus Evora parked nose in – not sure I can get over the Celica motor…$70K though might make it a decent buy for some.
Skyline 4 door, done right. NICE.
Heyyyyy – a non-social security color on the Rapide! Girls prob. dig it but I still can’t get with the bone interior. Lee’s would stain that FAST.
HIGHWAY TO THE DANGERZONE!! VF/Vorsteiner’s Widebody E92 came rollin back thru.
Owner of this pearlescent white Datsun 1600 talked with us a bit – super cool lady with the original sticker ($3500 w/options!)
Cockpit of an old school Bentley…checkout that Speedo! (Speedometer Irv, don’t get excited)
Phil caught this beauty as we were about to bail for Lee’s. Looks like a factory tri-color stripe (appeared painted) on a 599 HGTE with an AGIP sticker on the passenger side. Mighty Sick.
Cars & Lee’s 6.12.10
I’m officially changing the name – a few buddies of mine always hit Lee’s right after this so I don’t consider it Cars and “Coffee” anymore lol. Here’s the pics from last Sat.
I felt compelled to take a pic of this 430 simply because it was rocking some bigass wheels…when I say bigass, I mean 20″+ (I want to say the rear was a 21?) – shocking, but to each his own…
Shot of the back row – this is why we wake up early and are a bit spoiled here in SoCal…(even though a Viper is in the shot – bleh) – take a look at all the cars and the people, enjoying an early Sat AM.
Rapide showed up – still not my particular choice at this price range for a 4 door lux, but a pretty car…not feelin the Social Security Color though…COME ON.
This angle wants the child in me to sing “TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES, TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES…” – that’s in the 80’s for you young folk.
Kids checking out the Campagna T-Rex’s…taste the rainbow.
HRE’s on this Storm Trooped out Rob & Big look-a-like.
Following my 80’s theme…HIGHWAY TO THE DANGER ZONE! Crazy Widebody Vorsteiner VF Engineering E92M3 (say that 3 times fast)
And the piece de resistance – in the parking lot…the ever elusive, super exclusive…FIERO-ARRI-ROSSA.
Notice the amazing attention to detail (rolls eyes)
Yeah, notice I didn’t even watermark these pics so that the mullet haired steroid using owner can’t track me down. But hey, to take a quote from Ferrris Bueller – look, “Don’t worry about it, I don’t even have a piece of sh*t. I have to envy yours”
Collect em’ all!
1:18 AUTOArt from my homie Tony a year ago…(pls excuse the iPhone pics)
Lego Polizi LP560-4 Lego I scooped this past weekend!
The Real Deal Polizi Car
And a crazy sick Gallardo SL Polizi Vinyl look-a-like from GR2KX (Photo courtesy of Herman? from L4P) Nice Shot!
A few old pics I ran across…
Just thought these were interesting…
Shot of a Carrera GT, one of the “Dirty Dozen” – known on the internet as the guy who has 12 pretty badass cars. His wife even drove an RD Sport M5 at the time…craze.
Me in front of the London McLaren Dealership back in 2001. Met up with my old school homie Don in Picadilly Circus then rolled to checkout some cars…good times.
Me (again) holding up my CF hood from my old school E46 back in 2001 – yes, they had CF in 2001, I was a very early adopter of what is commonplace now. CF is pretty much played now IMO unless you’re doing something sick with it.
Cars, Cars, Cops, Cars…
Busy weekend. Aside from the usual Cars & Coffee, I rolled up to Venice with my buddies to checkout the HellaFlush meet, got a HellaTicket which was Hellawack, then rolled to Ogara Coach to checkout some sick SuperCars. All in all, can’t complain – great weather, good friends and some badass cars.
First off Cars & Coffee…nothing crazy noticeable, but these caught my eye…
Sweet racing livery on this Exige.
Mean CLK Black Series from Renntech (happens to be a friends Dad’s actually LOL)
In the parking lot – the ultimate sleeper, Audi S8 *detuned Gallardo motor people…BOOYAKASHA.
After our usual Lee’s stop, it was off to Venice Beach for the Hella Flush event…a little disappointed to be honest, not an amazing turnout.
Sick Lexus SC/Soarer – Old School Mystic paint along with some Volk TE’s…NOICE.
Crazy Dropped Lexus LS on some new gen SSR’s.
Really feelin this sick xB w/Burberry interior and BBS RS w/Gold flaked centers! DROPPED.
Gotta give “Hey Mikey” some love of course – reppin’ my homie Jay’s company JDMEgo.
Platinum VIP representing with a sick 5’er Wagon, ///M5 and some others…
Craziest fitment goes to this Miata – NUTS.
After leaving HellaDisappointing, I got a HellaTicket for HellaFailure to HellaYield to a emergency vehicle. I’m gonna have to Hellafight it because we didn’t hear it, were stuck in crazy traffic and couldn’t move to the left if we Hellatried. I was pretty much HellaOver-it at this point.
The only redeeming value was that we were on our way to Ogara where a buddy mentioned that 4 of the sickest SuperCars were under the same roof.
NOTE: The following pics were from my iPhone, didn’t want to roll in with full camera gear lol.
JUST STRAIGHT KILLIN IT. Zonda-R all up in your grill.
Reventon – Batman on Steroids.
Bugatti Veyron – Still the “Production” King.
Koenigsegg CCX – SWEEEEEEDISH. (Tom Green Fans will remember this LOL)
If you only had one to choose from…which one would it be?? I’d have to go with the Zonda-R, would be so sick to roll up to Lee’s in that thing. hahahaha.
Cars & Coffee 5.29
Gorgeous Memorial Day weekend for Cars & Coffee…marquee was “MicroCars” apparently – some pretty cool stuff. Lots of Isettas and these 2 lil’ guys.
Technocraft Gallardo was there with their new CF Bumper…
Yep, that’s Will and Phil getting in my shot dammit (reflection in the bumper)!! Kidding!! LOL.
Brad/Simon from EVOSport brought out this mean Mas…it’s been a minute since I’ve talked to you guys, great to see you’re still building quality cars!
Random Stradale Shot…
Another random CLKBS shot, thought the yellow coming off the other car looked sweet.
Caught this Seal Grey CGT bailing out of the parking structure – reminded me of an old friend Ben, we miss you man.
