Fat Chick in da house...

It's been years since I last owned a Bug, way back in the mid 70's I had a green 1966 1300 with a Porsche 912 motor and 5-speed that was used and abused at late night street races around Stockholm, those were the days. Yesterday good friend R let me take home his old 1303S Fat Chick, red and worn but it's a Big Edition with the fancy interior, fake wood dash and 5.5" rims and that was in HOT 1974....

Mystery boat...

Yesterday I went with my good friend Max of Hot Rods by Max to pick up a boat he found, it's in aluminium, around 4 meters (13 feet) and looks like a 60's Cadillac with a bit VW Beetle in the nose. I have never seen anything like it in that size, I have seen late 50's, early 60's Chris Craft with similar fins down the sides but they are much larger. Anyone who have seen anything like it or knows what it is please leave a comment....

Våffeldagen...

Today we celebrated that spring officially has arrived, here in Sweden a tradition is to eat waffels with your friends and we did, a great spring day, a bit chilly but plenty of sun and a fire kept us all warm and cosy...

DP says: Next weekend is Royal Enfield One Ride be there or be square...

Stockholm Antiqes Fair...

Spent most of the day looking at some cool stuff...

DP Says: Not much going on right now...

Victory Lane...

DONE! At last the new bathroom at Mosta Hill is finished and because of the black & white check theme it feels like Victory Lane. Good friend and master carpenter H.J has done 90% of the work while I have chipped in with 10% and I'm really happy with the way it turned out...

Testing, testing 1....

Trying what the Nikon 1 can do, I guess with some practice it can do much more....

DP says. It feels good...

New Year, New Stuff....

This last summer and fall I have been shooting most of the stuff here with my Sony Ericsson X10 Mini and sure it works OK but with some cash burning a hole in my pocket I started looking for a better camera, after checking out Samsung NX100 & 200, Sony NEX-3, 5 & 7, Olympus and other compact SLR's I decided on the new Nikon 1-series, J1, small, heavy, solid and with a minimalist look no one beats....

DP says: Stay tuned for pix....

First snow...

Yesterday and during the night Mosta Hill got the first sprinkling of the white stuff, not much but enough for both me and my Santa to get into that Christmas spirit....

Under construction...

Today the DP Race Tech Workshop got the last coat of paint, after insulating, paneling, painting and installing a heater/AC unit the workshop is finally winter workable. My Dear K's been in charge of painting, good friend and master carpenter H.J did the woodwork while I was running around like a chicken without a head pointing and making changes. Now the Chopper Place cigarr room is next in line after the bathroom is done, can't wait to enjoy a Cohiba with a good dark Cuban Rum....

DP says: We also found a Crescent Scooterette this week...
