Bad Camber 2013
Well on Saturday morning me and my buddy Jonas took his squareback on a road trip to the Bad Camber meet in
a town called Borlänge, but first we tought that we should stop and check out the Rat Fink Reunion meet a little bit closer to are town. We started are road trip at 8 in the morning, got to Rat Fink at 9 BUT they didn’t let either visitors OR exhibitioners in until 11. SO should we stand outside and hang around for 2 hours or head on to the Bad Camper meet. We stayed half an hour then headed to Bad Camber.
Well that was really lucky because we sorta took a wrong turn and after 15-20 minutes we noticed that =) so it took a hell of a lot longer then it should 🙂
But finaly we got there =)
Enjoy the pics from this awesome event

Ryan Cochran & The Jalopy Journal
Nice interview.
“Dusting out the hard drives recently we rediscovered this interview with Ryan Cochran that we did in Melbourne Australia in January 2012..
Ryan Cochran created the popular H.A.M.B and the Jalopy Journal.
Taken from the Jalopy Journal website:
It all started a long time ago actually…
I was 15 years old when my old man bought me a ’55 Chevy coupe with a 4-speed and a pretty nasty small block. You know the goods – white pearl paint, straight axle, 5-spokes, slicks, and open headers. I’d wait for my folks to go off to work and then I’d take it out on the farm road not far from the house just to hear the cam come on and practice my power shifts.
The guy that owned the car before us had fumbled around a bit with it and had the word “Jesus” etched into the back glass. As I was smashing gears and burning down that long desert highway, I’d occassionally look out the rear view mirror to check for cops, road kill, or any other pests. Something about that etched reference to sin left its mark on me… Hot Rodding is a religion.
The Jalopy Journal was formed just a few years later to spread the gospel of traditional Hot Rods and Kustoms to hoodlums worldwide… We wanted to be the voice of the working man, a tool in the toolbox of the guy that does it himself, and a place where citizen journalists could show the “big-time” media a thing or two. We haven’t done it all yet, but we aim to in time…

This is one hell of a well planed movie. God damn i like it.

Born Free Vintage Motorcycle Fest! – On Two Wheels
Got to say it again, we need more garage movies on the Tube/Vimeo. Motor Trend or Drive channel on youtube should do a garage series.
There is millions of cool garages out in the world, start a program about them..
“On this episode of On Two Wheels we go inside Born Free 5! This is not your average motorcycle festival. The Born-Free Show is about the love of old motorcycles and like-minded individuals having a good time together and enjoying these bikes of the past. This is a free show, open to the public, that brings together builders and enthusiasts from all over the world.
At the show, we meet a dynamic father and son combo, Domenic Mingirulli and Dylan Mingirulli, and a very talented Japanese craftman who moved to LA to live out his American dream of building vintage choppers! The co-founder of Born Free, Grant Peterson, tells us the story of show, from its humble beginnings to where it is now.
On Two Wheels appears every other Wednesday on the Motor Trend channel. http://www.youtube.com/motortrend ”
