Next Event

Safety first.

This broke while coming out of the sweeper at ESN. Thanks to NSP for letting me borrow a wheel off their show car. And to Chad for letting me use his extra Momo wheel until I can get a new one.
Note to self: Stop buying cheap shit!

UnF-ck The Gulf

BP’s oil spill has really f–ked up the gulf. Birds, fish, dolphins & sea turtles are f–ked. Whole communities are f–ked. Together we can hold big oil accountable. Together we can unf–k the Gulf.

Ken Block’s Gymkhana THREE drops tomorrow

Ken Block’s Gymkhana THREE drops tomorrow. There doesn’t seem to be as much hype around this one. Not sure if thats a good thing or not. I hope he has better luck with the video than he did in WRC Rally Germany this past weekend. …

Cody Wellons’ S13 For Sale in Atlanta

Cody is looking to sell or trade his S13 hatch and move on to a new project. I’d really like to trade for a 1J/2J swapped SC300 with a manual transmission, although I may be interested in other RWD cars as well (350Z, GS300, etc).

Maaan… I miss my Wats.
And my eight-six.

I’m not sure strictly speaking you could call Momo Quasars JDM wheels but nice collection of pics.

Chris (27 Jun 2008, 15:57)

HaHa… I’ll agree with that. But thank you.
Also, I checked out your site. Andy (commenter above you) and I are both designers as well. We rarely update our blogs though. And like you, don’t have time to redo my site (www.studiorhoad.com). Its been under construction for months now. *sigh*

Either way… thanks for the comment.
Rick (27 Jun 2008, 20:26)

Oh yeah, I never get a chance to write in my blog! or change my site, I have a new design ready to put on, I just need to find a spare few hrs to put the CSS together… not going to happen!

I’m always working on client sites, or working on my car, or random other stuff! This weekend I will be having fun with my carbon fiber bonnet a tube of G3 cutting compound and a heavy duty orbital polisher! ha wish me luck on that on I’m pretty convinced I’m going to burn though the lacker and damage the carbon! Eeek

Checked out your site. Really like that 3D lettering. vnice. So are you guys working for your self or do you have the life sucked out of you buy a big company like I do?
Chris (01 Jul 2008, 17:23)

Thanks for the compliments. I actually have the “luxury” of having the life sucked out of me via a big company and by freelance clients. Im a designer for the Office Of External Affairs (Government Office) from 9-6, then come home and work on freelance projects till about 2am. Very long days to say the least, but its worth it. It enables me to keep racing/drifting.
