Brian Johnson of AC/DC on Top Gear

Saturday, August 15th, 2009

This is a great video!! Being the lead singer of AC/DC is cool enough, but Brian is also a Gearhead, a very good driver and from the video, is really a nice guy.

Bad Winter Morning

Saturday, January 3rd, 2009

Have you ever had something like this happen to you before?

I guess the worst for me was after clearing off all the windows, I wasn’t able to get the doors open.

The Ultimate Lamborghini Garage

Saturday, October 25th, 2008

I saw this on Digg today thought I would share it. Think for a minute, if you had four Lamborghinis, but only two would fit on the driveway, where would you put the other two? I really did not expect to see what happens in the video. It’s impressive to say the least!

Drift Your Way Into Performance Art!

Thursday, October 23rd, 2008

Looking for a new way to express your artistic abilities beyond just pencils, pens, and brushes?

Drift Champion Vaughn Gittin Jr. teamed up with Bosch to stage a one-of-a-kind event on September 6, 2008. The event was billed as “Performance Art”. Vaughn created a unique pattern of tire marks by drifting his 650 hp Mustang through a closed course in downtown Los Angeles. He titled his creation “Abstract on Asphalt.”

Find out more about this event at www.BoschPerformanceArt.com.

Vaughn won the 2005 D1 Grand Prix USA vs Japan event and the 2007 D1 Grand Prix World Championship. You can find out more about Vaughn Gittin Jr. at his website www.vaughngittin.com

Now where did I put my car keys, I’ve got some performance art to create!!!

Lego V8 Engine

Sunday, October 5th, 2008

If you are like me you have probably seen Lego building blocks used to make a variety of things. This week I came across a video of a Lego V8 Engine that someone created. What makes this Lego V8 Engine different is that it spins at 1440 rpm!

On a post from Make, it says that it took 4-5 months to make and it is not part of a Lego set. Some very nice images of the engine can be found on Brickshelf Gallery.

Ride along with the Bandit on Google Maps

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

Smokey and the Bandit is one of my all time favorite movies. I must have seen this movie over thirty times.

It came out about the time me and my friends were getting our drivers license, so needless to say it make a big impression on us. Still to this day there are certain phrases in the movie that always come to mind whenever someone says something to trigger them.

Just like the previous post about following along with the chase scene in Bullitt, now you also follow along with one of the chase scenes in Smokey and the Bandit.

Follow Famous Bullitt Chase on Google Maps

There are a lot of chase scenes I like, but none more than the chase scene in the movie Bullitt. I first remember seeing Bullitt late at night when CBS use to have late-night weekend movies. I remember staying up, watching movies and drawing cars.

Have you ever wondered where they drove at exactly in the movie?

Well, I found this cool movie that has the famous Steve McQueen Bullitt chase scene matched up with Google Maps. While you watch the chase scene the Google Map follows the same streets they drove in the movie.

What is your favorite movie chase scene?

Super Fast Drawing Video

Friday, August 1st, 2008

I ran across this video of someone drawing a Mustang the other day and thought what a great way to promote your artwork. Of course, the artist isn’t actually drawing that fast. What they are doing is drawing at normal speed and then playing it back really fast.

I found out that this artwork took 13 hours to do and was done by pencil artist Eivind Josefsen from Norway. He has a site called Drawing Studio where he has other drawings and tutorials.

Video is something I am interested in doing. Have you seen any other automotive drawing videos like this or maybe you have done one yourself?
