In an interview with the &lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/08/garden/ice-cube-on-eameses-and-his-hometown-qa.html?_r=4&amp;amp;emc=eta1"&gt;New York Times&lt;/a&gt;, he said: “&lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;So being that they put together a house in two days and used discarded materials — something about their style caught on. As I got older, I could equate it to sampling. That’s what we were doing, taking discarded records from the ’60s and ’70s and revamping them”.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;Perhaps Ice Cube's music wasn’t really motivated by guns, money and running from the Police.

The second is when Mike Tyson’s tiger wakes up from a drug induced sleep with an appetite for German leather. The opportunity to experience what it’s like to be a part of the ‘Wolf Pack’ is on offer through &lt;a href="http://schmitt.com/viewimage.asp?ID=4314"&gt;Daniel Schmitt &amp;amp; Co&lt;/a&gt; (minus the roofies, tiger and adventures).&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;This car is one of five cars they used for the movie including three original convertibles and two coupes that were modified to resemble convertibles. The idea was to destroy the chopped coupes since they’d never be roadworthy again and to retain the convertibles for normal scenes. Due to some confusion on the set, a real convertible was unintentionally destroyed alongside a modified coupe. This is one of the two remaining convertibles which was originally listed for &lt;a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HANGOVER-Mercedes-1965-220se-Convertible-FAMOUS-MOVIE-CAR-/190609682921?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&amp;amp;hash=item2c6138f1e9#v4-48"&gt;$95,000(USD)&lt;/a&gt;, but is now reduced to &lt;a href="http://schmitt.com/viewimage.asp?ID=4314"&gt;$79,000 (USD)&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Q_3Pfj5TYwg/TudjYQV92OI/AAAAAAAAAME/NGpTRO7CXno/s1600/hangovertiger.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Q_3Pfj5TYwg/TudjYQV92OI/AAAAAAAAAME/NGpTRO7CXno/s320/hangovertiger.jpg" width="288" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Iconic scenes from the movie involving the Mercedes 220SE for sale.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4cVLbzl5bIg/Tudjt5sDvWI/AAAAAAAAAMM/BNqp-Xl71nE/s1600/hangover.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4cVLbzl5bIg/Tudjt5sDvWI/AAAAAAAAAMM/BNqp-Xl71nE/s320/hangover.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Mercedes 220SE Cabriolet for sale through Daniel Schmitt &amp;amp; Co classic cars.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6241506655031982876-7677069169172998539?l=reinventingwheels.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reinventingwheels.blogspot.com/feeds/7677069169172998539/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6241506655031982876&amp;postID=7677069169172998539' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6241506655031982876/posts/default/7677069169172998539'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6241506655031982876/posts/default/7677069169172998539'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reinventingwheels.blogspot.com/2011/12/hangover-1965-mercedes-220se-for-sale.html' title='&apos;The Hangover&apos; 1965 Mercedes 220SE for sale.'/><author><name>Reinventing Wheels</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08252649320736044898</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Q_3Pfj5TYwg/TudjYQV92OI/AAAAAAAAAME/NGpTRO7CXno/s72-c/hangovertiger.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6241506655031982876.post-7303118136459688516</id><published>2011-12-11T16:28:00.009+11:00</published><updated>2011-12-17T01:43:09.521+11:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Kate Moss'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Isabeli Fontana'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Lara Stone'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='F1'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='the making of Pirelli calendar'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pirelli calendar'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='formula 1'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pirelli 2012 calendar'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Mario Sorrenti'/><title type='text'>The Pirelli calendar for 2012</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;Pirelli has a lot more to offer than just tyres, they also provide their loyal customers with some motivation to get them through the day - think of it as a break from being nuts about bolts.&amp;nbsp;Pinups have been used in automotive workshops for over forty years, both as a way to remember key dates and as an excuse to admire half naked women. The first Pirelli calendar was&amp;nbsp;created in the early 1960's and throughout the years they have produced some artistic releases, despite the fact tyres have never appeared in any of the issues.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;Mario Sorrenti&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt; shot the &lt;a href="http://www.pirelli.com/corporate/en/company/brand/calendar/cal-12/default.html"&gt;2012&lt;/a&gt; Calendar; carrying on the tradition of Pirelli’s personal organiser which has gained cult status thanks to the beautiful, nude women who adorn its pages.

Tougher emission laws and the push to “go green” have made it increasingly difficult for owners to maintain their retro rides on the roads of today. Instead of sending rusty Vespa’s to the trash pile, I have found a more creative solution&lt;b&gt;:&lt;/b&gt; turn the Italian icons into functional pieces of designer furniture&lt;b&gt;!&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;The donor for my project was a 1968 Vespa sprint that was beyond restoration, making it the perfect candidate.

That's a wise saying Toyota takes very seriously. The much anticipated new chapter in the brand's sport car collection was unveiled to the press this week at renowned track - Fuji Speedway. The new model will be called &lt;a href="http://news.toyota.com.au/toyota-unveils-new-86-sports-car?WT.ac=VH_FT86_HPPressRelease_Toyotaunveilsnew%2786%27sportscar_Readmore"&gt;“86”&lt;/a&gt; in Australia as a tribute to the Corolla AE86, which inspired its creation. The Japanese domestic market version will be appropriately named “Hachi Roku”.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;Toyota and Subaru have teamed up to create both the 86 and Subaru’s variant which will be called the BRZ. Under the bonnet, you'll find a naturally aspirated, horizontally opposed 2.0 litre four cylinder boxer engine upgraded with D4S direct injection technology. The increase in torque and performance should hopefully translate to a little more punch from the motor. Customers will have the choice of either a short shift six speed manual transmission or a tip-tronic six speed automatic transmission&amp;nbsp;which will transfer its power through&amp;nbsp;a limited slip differential that will then drive the rear wheels. Both the drive train and seating position have been set as low and as far back as possible to optimise balance within the car.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;Motorsport is hardwired in&amp;nbsp;the manufacturers&amp;nbsp;DNA with victories that include four World Rally Championship drivers’ titles, the &lt;a href="http://www.toyotaracing.com/history.html"&gt;Indianapolis 500&lt;/a&gt;, Daytona 24 Hours and the 12 Hours of Sebring. These are all pages and stages that sum up Toyota’s sporting heritage, but what makes the new&amp;nbsp;86 truly special is it's close connection to the 1965 &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Sports_800"&gt;Sport 800&lt;/a&gt; which was also powered by a horizontally opposed boxer engine.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;The design works within the technological constraints of achieving the most compact dimensions possible including a low centre of gravity. The modern aggressive styling helps to retain the presence asserted by modern day sports cars but is still humble enough to recall it's origins. Although I wasn’t fortunate enough to be one of the few that were able to drive the car, based on what I’ve read and seen from driving clips, the 86 will offer affordable power, good handling and everyday usability.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7l5arroAVW0/TtOXQNMan3I/AAAAAAAAAIo/iKbT-FhvtWY/s1600/Toyota-86-1-625x426.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="218" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7l5arroAVW0/TtOXQNMan3I/AAAAAAAAAIo/iKbT-FhvtWY/s320/Toyota-86-1-625x426.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6241506655031982876-4643908600179376088?l=reinventingwheels.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reinventingwheels.blogspot.com/feeds/4643908600179376088/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6241506655031982876&amp;postID=4643908600179376088' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6241506655031982876/posts/default/4643908600179376088'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6241506655031982876/posts/default/4643908600179376088'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reinventingwheels.blogspot.com/2011/11/toyota-86-is-confirmed-for-production.html' title='Toyota 86 is confirmed for production!'/><author><name>Reinventing Wheels</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08252649320736044898</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7l5arroAVW0/TtOXQNMan3I/AAAAAAAAAIo/iKbT-FhvtWY/s72-c/Toyota-86-1-625x426.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6241506655031982876.post-2936482615126767967</id><published>2011-11-28T14:10:00.004+11:00</published><updated>2011-11-28T23:19:17.054+11:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='F40'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ferrari table'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ferrari crash'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ferrari F40'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Charly Molinelli'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='interior design'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ferrari'/><title type='text'>Crashed Ferrari Table</title><content type='html'>&lt;span lang="EN" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;If you are an auto addict who is passionate about Ferrari’s, you will love the latest creation from &lt;a href="http://molinellidesign.com/2011/05/08/crashed-ferrari-table/"&gt;Charly Molinelli&lt;/a&gt;.

This behaviour was in response to the consumer boom that swept Japan in the 1960's. The aesthetic statement that their bikes made gave the Bosozoku clan the rebellious attention they desired. The gang would drive in a reckless manner, purely as way to express their emotions and evoke their frustration towards affluent people in society.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;During the 1930's Australia and America witnessed a similar social reaction with the introduction of modified cars. They were built by young enthusiasts, usually with little or no money, who were eager to cure their boredom and explore mechanical engineering. Many modifiers wanted to challenge wealthier car owners by proving to them that money wasn’t the only way to attain superior status. Despite its emphasis on power and performance, a modified car has always been a social statement.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;In the 1980's due to increased Police and public pressures, the bikie gangs began to decline. Though they still exist, the groups are a lot smaller and many have taken to driving heavily modified cars. Although it can't be confirmed, many attribute this&amp;nbsp;to what started the trend known as Bosozuku style car tuning.&amp;nbsp;This style&amp;nbsp;was embraced not only by gangsters but also by legitimate people who liked the style. Some of the behaviours that the bikie gangs displayed were carried over to this category of car tuning such as organ pipe exhausts, loud horns and the disorderly nature that came along with such modifications.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt; Within the Bosozoku car culture there are subcultures such as the ‘Shakotan’ style, ‘Yankee’ style, ‘Kyusha’ style and the ‘Grachan’ style of cars.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;'Shako' means “Ground Clearance” and the Japanese word 'Tan' translates to “Short”, so ‘Shakotan’ refers to cars that have negative camber and low clearance.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;'Yankee’, ‘Yanki’ or ‘Yanky’ is a style that can be attributed back to the 1970’s and 1980’s where in Osaka the fashion was to wear colourful Hawaiian shirts imitating the uprising of the west. Others argue it stems from classic American muscle cars, such as the Plymouth Superbird. This style is very similar to ‘Shakotan’ with the exception of the wide fenders, external oil coolers and bigger spoilers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;‘Kyusha’ translates to “Classic Car”.

Each person has their own taste and that transpires into the way they tune their cars. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;If you visit any of the mentioned hang out spots, you will most likely see an interesting assortment of classic Japanese cars, lines of sleek motorcycles and outrageous&amp;nbsp;vehicles that are almost unrecognisable with their array of racing fins, neon lights and tinted windows.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;The Bosozoku culture is usually categorized as a violent one, however it’s more about tuning their machines and racing into the night. These afterhours rendezvous are part of a car fetish lifestyle in which people spend hundreds of thousands of yen a year on their beloved machines. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;It seems that what was once a poor man’s ambition is fast becoming a rich man’s hobby. In Tokyo for around 1000 yen, fanatics can illegally race to their heart's content on the several circular highways that surround the city, provided they don't get caught by Police or exit at any of the off ramps. &lt;/span&gt;For this reason,&amp;nbsp;rest stops like Yokohama's Daikoku Futo service area or&amp;nbsp;the Shibaura and Tatsumi parking areas have become legendary among young street racers. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;Despite those who embrace the trend, street racers have always tested the limits of the law and the patience of people living nearby.

Instead of spending copious amounts of money fixing rust and welding in replacement panels, restorers can now transplant their running gear and interior parts onto the new body shell. ($15,000 USD.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;The main drawback is that unlike the original which is 'all American', the new models are made in Taiwan.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt; Hopefully this means that the originals will retain their value and appeal to enthusiasts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt; Although according to Ford, “body shells are made with stronger steel and use modern welding techniques, making them better than the original.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;Personally, I’d prefer an original as I think they have more character. Owning a classic car is not like buying a new car and like I wrote in the introduction of my blog, they have a story to tell. What makes them appealing apart from the raw feeling, unrefined cabin noise and distinctive smells is the history&amp;nbsp;that a car of that age carries with it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;When you buy a new car, one of the most important factors to consider is the kilometres that it’s travelled. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;With classic motoring, you don’t care because the body, engine and trim will usually indicate how a car has been maintained irrespective of the kilometres it's travelled.Restoration is about reviving a relic and should never be an easy process. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;The hunt for replacement parts both online and at wreckers or buying a donor car is what makes classic motoring both unique and enjoyable.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;Many will&amp;nbsp;contest that&amp;nbsp;this is the painful part of owning an older car, but the rewards of building a car that was ready to retire is a fulfilling feeling that can only be appreciated when experienced. I wonder if the reproductions will ever make it onto Australian roads? It would be nice to see some more classic cars in traffic. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ITxxU2CkJ-U/Tq332EPyLwI/AAAAAAAAAFA/VWsKj62mbd0/s1600/ford.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ITxxU2CkJ-U/Tq332EPyLwI/AAAAAAAAAFA/VWsKj62mbd0/s320/ford.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;For those who are interested:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a href="http://media.ford.com/article_display.cfm?article_id=35487"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;Ford press release on the new old&amp;nbsp;Mustang.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.dynacornclassicbodies.com/ford_models2.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;Dynacorn Classic Bodies Inc. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.fordrestorationparts.com/restoration/Restoration_Parts_Licensing_Program.pdf"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;Ford Restoration Parts mission statement.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6241506655031982876-1591340514851403872?l=reinventingwheels.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reinventingwheels.blogspot.com/feeds/1591340514851403872/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6241506655031982876&amp;postID=1591340514851403872' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6241506655031982876/posts/default/1591340514851403872'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6241506655031982876/posts/default/1591340514851403872'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reinventingwheels.blogspot.com/2011/10/blast-from-past-ford-reintroduces-1965.html' title='Blast from the past: Ford reintroduces the 1965 Mustang'/><author><name>Reinventing Wheels</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08252649320736044898</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ITxxU2CkJ-U/Tq332EPyLwI/AAAAAAAAAFA/VWsKj62mbd0/s72-c/ford.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6241506655031982876.post-405013334387014457</id><published>2011-10-31T01:40:00.005+11:00</published><updated>2011-11-28T21:05:17.164+11:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Volvo art session'/><title type='text'>Volvo Art Session 2011</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;Most people would consider graffiti as vandalism.

His parents originate from Dapto so his shed had all kinds of interesting stuff, among the items he was throwing in the skip bin, was this pre loved tractor seat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IyBKS8tgT50/Tpp5yyzNKGI/AAAAAAAAAAo/0mdbT3fcrts/s1600/tractor.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IyBKS8tgT50/Tpp5yyzNKGI/AAAAAAAAAAo/0mdbT3fcrts/s320/tractor.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;With a little vision, I decided that I could revive the rusty seat and let it retire to a greener pasture inside my house. I went in search of a base for the chair; council clean ups are a treasure trove for items like this. Amongst all the broken appliances, old tins and bags of damp clothes are some real treasures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clean ups are beneficial for all involved as people get rid of unwanted belongings, others find treasures in that junk and the council avoid rubbish being thrown out onto the kerbs randomly throughout the year. Everyone's idea of treasure differs depending on their needs; some people look for bikes, some for scrap metal, computer parts, or toys. I struck gold, when I found this neglected bar stool. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;I rubbed the seat down with coarse sandpaper, applied some rust converter, and added four coats of fire engine red paint. The base needed some adjustment to the bolt holes, which was easily fixed with the drill. Below is the final result:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4xSW4iYcnOk/Tpp6KEEuAjI/AAAAAAAAAAw/-BcBCyhM1ks/s1600/tractor2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4xSW4iYcnOk/Tpp6KEEuAjI/AAAAAAAAAAw/-BcBCyhM1ks/s320/tractor2.jpg" width="234" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6241506655031982876-4874833150330437116?l=reinventingwheels.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reinventingwheels.blogspot.com/feeds/4874833150330437116/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6241506655031982876&amp;postID=4874833150330437116' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6241506655031982876/posts/default/4874833150330437116'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6241506655031982876/posts/default/4874833150330437116'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reinventingwheels.blogspot.com/2011/10/tractor-time.html' title='Tractor time'/><author><name>Reinventing Wheels</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08252649320736044898</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IyBKS8tgT50/Tpp5yyzNKGI/AAAAAAAAAAo/0mdbT3fcrts/s72-c/tractor.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6241506655031982876.post-5190017850895090669</id><published>2011-10-16T16:22:00.017+11:00</published><updated>2011-12-05T19:09:37.023+11:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Gilbarco petrol bowser'/><title type='text'>Smile, pain at the pump can pay off!</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;My first post will be about what every car enthusiast should have in his or her garage&lt;b&gt;:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;a vintage petrol bowser&lt;b&gt;!&lt;/b&gt; I used to work in Sydney’s North Shore, and one day driving back from work; I took an accidental wrong turn. I am fortunate I did, because sitting on the back of a Ute was this bowser. I had seen these classic Gilbarco’s in photos but never in real life.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;I took a guess and knocked on the door of a house, first time lucky it turned out I’d chosen correctly. After a brief chat about whom I was and what I wanted, we agreed on a price with delivery included. The owner was a retired marine mechanic who’d salvaged it from the service station he had previously worked at (this explains why it was so rusty). &lt;br /&gt;I paid a little more than I had hoped to but it’s not very often you come across something like this.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uTddvpedDac/TtNVwjO0GRI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/IzHuDMno8TQ/s1600/boswer.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uTddvpedDac/TtNVwjO0GRI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/IzHuDMno8TQ/s320/boswer.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;The first step involved stripping the pump down to its bare minimum. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;With the help of penetrating lubricant to loosen the old bolts, the internal pumps were then removed and the rusty panels taken off for some much needed ‘TLC’.&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt; The tool responsible for the chrome finish on the stainless trims is an electric drill with a buffing pad and lots of metal polishing compound.
