Die Hard(s)...(Sorry Dutch)

Eindhoven's Daily news 6-20-2011.
Artikel about last edition of the "Amerikanenmeeting" Wintelre.
Guess who's up front and titled as one of the "Die Hards". Well... Just did the aprox 200 miles trip to Bottrop the day before... so guess they're not lying? F the wheater... it's built to ride! Who cares for a pair of resonated eardrums, wet socks and trousers anyway, ha'. Thanks to Polle... for joining me on both trips and sending this piece of paper to "In Press"

FC4B 2D

Coincidence? My old barn & '51 Ford F1 pick up, both getting a hard time at this moment by company's that get paid of our$? Well,  hopefully we get some good news 2Day.
Fingers Crossed 4 Bruno!

Two Times Backwards

Nothing to do with cars but.... Remember this? "Drop" by The Pharcyde, released in 1995.  First single of the second album LabCabinCalifornia. Contains the "mmm..... drop" sample of the Beasty Boys song "The New Style". The genius music video was directed Spike Jonze and filmed in LA. He filmed the group performing the song backwards,  even the lyrics! and then replayed it backwards. This combined with the chopped, spacey beat of the song gives the video a real cool surrealistic touch... awesome thinking!

The Lost of Ryan Dunn...

Bad news... seems that Ryan Dunn from Jackass was killed in car crash today!  June 20, 2011.













He (34 years old) and another passenger died at about 2.30am local time when the car the were travelling hit a tree and burst into flames in West Goshen, Pennsylvania. Dunn was identified by his tattoos, according to a witness who was on the scene when the bodies were pulled from the wreckage. The mother of Dunn's Jackass co-star Bam Margera reportedly called a local radio station to confirm that he was killed in a car accident. Dunn was one of my favorite crazy dudes of Jackass, the MTV show in which he and a group including Margera and Johnny Knoxville conducted crude, ridiculous and often dangerous pranks and stunts. Jackass ran for three series on MTV from 2000, followed by three movies and several spin-off shows.
