I can be some of a history junky when it comes to cars and motorcycles. What attracted me to this video even more, is the uniqueness of Morgan. It’s a company known for still using wood in the structure of the car. It’s something that is just plain cool and with the super old school vibe it can’t be denied. Offering super light bases and pretty reliable motors you have a wining combo that has stood the test of time. What’s even cooler about these cars is hearing a passionate restorer talk about them. This is what it’s all about. The passion. The history.

I am really acquiring a small addicting for these classic 50’s era American cars. Especially with the right about patina and flair with a touch of air ride. There is just something that is just so badass about rolling down the road in something like this. Something with so much character. Props to the owner for driving it as much as he does. Like it should be.
Every now and then I am completely blown away from a video that isn’t car related. Many may know we customize and build bicycle’s so bmx riding always has a spot in my heart. What is in this video, well that is pure artistry at it’s best. Both in videography and in the skill of the rider. A beautiful video put together. Equally beautiful way of stunting his bike. Put those two together, add a classic soundtrack and you have a video that should win SOME type of award. Seriously.
This post is just about as random as they get. But I have always wanted to build a red Integra. It’s just something about the color matched up to the body lines that give it such a classic yet timeless look that I’m sure will last for generations to come. Pretty crazy when you think a small inexpensive car can become to popular and almost iconic in some ways. Forever a classic.
Another post to my addiction to all things classic. This time it’s the first gen. Toyota Soarer. I love that a style of simple, clean modified cars can translate to cars of every origin. All this is a clean, OEM paint classic slammed on some great looking SSR’s. Now I could be wrong, but they do look like 14’s and since that is the popular size as far as Japanese classics go, they should be. Such a simply idea, with great execution and you’ve got a jaw dropper, at least in my eyes. Beautiful.
Another addition to feed that classic addiction a lot of us have, is a pair of classic Nissan Skyline’s. These two are owned by a two guys associated with Fatlace over in Cali. I think most of us would dream to own either one, let alone get a chance to modify them to the state these are in. Mark’s newest addition to the Hakosuka is the Work CR01 wheels. Which are a favorite for me, with 15×11’s in the back and a lovely fat tire. It fills the fender and improves fitment over the last set of wheels he had. I am truly in love!
Super busy today so I’ll keep this short and sweet. As these old school classic Merc’s get more popular, I am dying to see more on aftermarket wheels. Here is one of the few I’ve seen, not rocking the stock wheels. I am really loving this. Although they have an old school feel, I really love the bigger, modern wheels on a old school car. Nothing over the top, nothing extremely subtle. A great mix of class and style.
When I look at these classic Triumph’s, beautiful is ALWAYS the first word that comes out of my mouth. There is just something about the simplicity of the lines. Or maybe is the leather accents. But it’s unmistakable whenever you see one done this well. It’s a work of art. I’m dying to own one. Anyone have more info on this particular Triumph? I don’t see a throttle cable and the leather wraps on the handle bars are a thing of beauty!
I’m sure you guys are tired of me proving that other countries like Japan and German get better cars then us. But it is for a good reason, I guess it’s the same with american cars not being in other countries. When it comes to this subject it really makes the car that much more special when we see one, because of it’s rarity, exclusivity. An Audi 100 is a car we really never hear about, let alone see, but it is very much a classic. When I saw that they had made a coupe my jaw almost dropped to the floor. I mean, just look at the car, the lines are absolutely perfect in every way. It’s an Audi definition of beauty. Why aren’t there more modded like this in Europe? I want one NOW!
Anyone every think that all picture that come out of Japan just look better? Or is that just me? haha. It just seems like a car could look the same a one in the states, but because it’s from Japan it’s so much cooler! Maybe it’s just my imagination. Below is yet another example of how Japan just does it better. A shop that looks to be just dedicated to classic 4-door cars. There’s so much dope in this picture it’s hard to contain. Perfectly done classic Japanese cars. Can you really ask for more?
