  1. It's a rat rod. The paint is supposed to be that way - if not worse (actually, that paint is a bit too fancy for a rat rod). As the driver says in the video, "It's a Euro - people don't accept Euros in the rat rod community - but we're going to change that." I have some friends with rat rods (all U.S. iron - no Euros). Their total build spend equals or exceeds some of the finest street rods. It's a look, not for everyone; but I can appreciate what the rat rodders are trying to do. Speaking of rat rods, I wonder how much Wegweiser would want for the F-Bomb ... (the ultimate rat rod).
  2. +1 One of the best mods you can make.
  3. Such are the risks of driving on SoCal roads - there are simply too many distractions. On that note, since there is so much speculation above regarding the cause, curious minds want to know - could Angelyne have caused this mishap? The circumstantial evidence mounts ... http://www.lacantdrive.com/2012/04/14/angelynes-barbie-pink-corvette-almost-hit-my-car/
  4. http://www.bmw2002faq.com/component/option,com_forum/Itemid,57/page,viewtopic/t,368721/highlight,otis/ Update - Kenny of MasterCrafters finally gave up the independent-owner thing and sold his shop to AutoBody Dimensions, an outfit that focuses on insurance work. Kenny will still be around, fixing cars, but I doubt that we'll be able to get AutoBody Dimensions to one-off our specialty projects. Too bad - several local 02s were painted in MasterCrafter's bay, including Otis - who came out yellow at first, even using the original paint codes and a color gun (the code gun that Finishmasters uses to determine the right mix, taking fade, etc. into account). If you look on the underside of Otis' hood, you'll see the yellow version of Colorado paint. The top side, we fixed - but the underside we left yellow. Why? Because it looks cool that way.
  5. Touchy subject - If we're not careful with the tone, somebody's going to get stabbed in the face with a soldering iron.

    I always wanted to drive a 507 through the Black Forest. Now my dream can come true ... http://seaworldparks.com/en/buschgardens-williamsburg/Verbolten/Under-Das-Hood/Meet-Verbolten
  7. Any wedding pictures? Selecting just the right wedding colors is important. Yellow is a nice color. So is buff.
  8. Are those Tribute Cheeks? That's nice. But my idea of a tribute car is something that pays tribute to something that I really, really like. Stated differently, if you're going to pay tribute to something, this would be more like what I had in mind.
  9. It's a tribute car Is it a Tribute Turbo? And if so, can it do this?
  10. That is way beyond cool. Amazing, in fact. Slash ... not only my guitar hero, but a savior of big cats. Wildlife Waystation - Save the kitties!

  13. It never hurts to add a little something extra to the standard equipment.
  14. It's absolutely doable. Otis has a custom receiver hitch - come check it out at Scott's party. I like the receiver hitch better than the factory hitch, because you can bang your shins on the factory hitch. And that hurts. My receiver hitch has lots of capacity. In fact, here's what I'll be rolling, at the Vintage.
  15. Yes, to access it you need to type "BMW Porn" in Google Images. That is too broad of a search. This is a classic BMW site. So type in "Classic BMW porn." Here's what you get: http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1736746
  16. Most of the pictures are from Otisland, two years ago. Not all, but most. You can tell the Otisland pictures because they are outside. The hot dog pictures, for example, were taken from the all-you-can-eat weinerfest that we had near the trailer rotisserie. The inside pictures, that's when we moved the rolling Otisland party down the highway and back to Winston Salem, to our favorite outside sports bar on the West End. The first picture with the caption - well, that was a Google find. Sorry you missed Otisland, Festmeister. We had a VIP ticket waiting at will call (you may recall that the VIP area was behind the velvet ropes, behind the tree). I'm also sorry that you would now characterize this sort of smoochy-smoochy, weiner-ingesting activity as, "the dark side." That says something - I'm not sure what, but it does say something. To me, however, such stuff just shows another day in Otisland. And if this is dark - I don't ever want to be light. Now - bring on Das Spaten Girls - Grill baby, Grill!!!
  17. Es ist schön zu sehen, Mädchen küssen. Sie haben Mädchen küssen in Ihrem Film, Festmeister! Ich kann nicht warten um Mädchen küssen bei der Weinlese zu sehen!!!
  18. The rotisserie will be there, John. But you really should visit Scott and the Spaten Girls. The Vintage is not about Otisland (although that is the happiest place on Earth). No, no, no. The VINTAGE is about SCOTT STURDY and DAS CRAZEEEEE KISSIN' SPATEN GIRLS!!!!
