I just found these 2 photos on http://stiffspeed.tumblr.com to learn that the mini semi that has shown up in no other photos of the Zingers, that it was part of the collection... update Jan 2014, I just found the black and white above

Kellie the Kandystriper; damnit, this is some cool pinstriping! More than lines, there is some character (pun intended) in her art

"Van Go" the most talked about van in years, and Coby, the publisher and photographer of one of the few awesome independant magazines




 It's a 2 year project, and this year was it's debut. Not just the coolest van we'll see for years to come, it's also a travelling office so Coby can display and sell hie magazines and t-shirts at car shows
None of the woodwork inside has any right angles. It's very smooth and pleasant to contemplate it's looks and use

 I've got 3 or 4 of these, and they are worth the money, just terrific photography. The one on the lower right is made up of photos taken at Fremont dragstrip between 1960-1964 by his dad, and stuffed away in a showbox in his dad's garage for 40+ years. That is family treasure.

Coby was given the front AND back of the newest issue of Rod and Kulture. effing awesome! Run out and buy a copy quick, you'll love it, and the photos throughout the magazine are far better than anything I've taken, quite a few are professional photos taken in studios. Perfect work. Enjoy!

My small gallery of photos from the Grand National Roadster Show http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/01/van-go-cool-very-cool-from-cars-not.html

The "identify that V8" challenge is on, I got 16 of 19


I missed the above, the Stude 289 R1, and the last one which is the worst photo and not in the original car.. it's in a hot rod, and that threw me off

It'd be cool to know how you do, and believe me I did guess on a couple, based on color, valve covers, or most likely to be multi carbed of the choices offered.

Or play these other games
