Well I guess I’m part of S.O.S for life now.
Car boot sale, loud music, bmx videos and getting group tags. Best Sunday in a while…
This months S.O.S meet has been announced for Wednesday 12 October. As usual meet at Comet car park, Willows in Torquay for around 7:45pm then a cruise over to Newton Abbots Halfords for 8:30pm. For more details visit the S.O.S page or say you are coming on the event page. Hopefully I will see you there!
Cool bikes, hot desert and making the most out of all that space. Put it together and you have yet another sweet biking video. (Seriously there are so many cool vids about at the moment!)
Recently I got an email from a Polish car fan called Mers who sent me over his collection of photos from a big car show that happened in Radom, Poland. The show is called VI Zlot Samochodów Amerykańskich, which translates to VI American Car Meeting and from the look of the pictures taken by Mers, Poland know how to do lowriders, trucks and Yank tanks!
Because we read “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost, and were taught that art is a path chosen by those who will themselves into the unknown. Because we watched ‘Easy Rider’ and want to find that for ourselves rather than from a television.
Today we face a world that is unkind to change, filled with the reluctance of apathy. Pioneers are just faceless figurines in museums, rather than part of tomorrow’s manifesto.
There is something to be cherished in our wide open spaces, if only the chance to breathe an unknown air, in search of a new way forward.
Setting out across the West. On vehicles without windows to restrict the scenery. With sincerity on the mind, we will be alone to reflect on past and future paths, only to find that the solidarity of the group will take us another day forward.
Follow us, share your stories. Enjoy the art, and the journey.

The ’55 Chevy is, in a lot of peoples opinion, the definitive car to use as the basis for a gasser. This ’55 gives you a little clue of why this is the case, it just looks so perfect.
I have seen a few panels from Hot Rod comic strips recently and found a couple more on Auto-Otaku today, apparently they are from the HAMB forums but there’s no link and trying to find things on the HAMB is pretty hard work!
Some fantastic hot rod and kustom car drawings from Brian Stupski at Problem Child Kustoms. Check out more of his stuff here.
