Beauty in FORM…

What kind of image makes you stop and gasp? A relaxed sort of exhaltation, I suppose.

The LA Auto Show starts this Friday and the anticipation is high for things of beauty. Sometimes I just stop and soak up new form, almost not realizing I’m doing it. And what comes from that moment lost?

…Inspiration.

That’s why I like car shows. Like a surfer trying to find the perfect wave, always on the search, knowing it’s there but not always finding it. That’s what we Automotive Enthusiasts search for, right? The one car that just makes us all weak in the knees. Could be a badass Bentley, an out of control Muscle Car, a modded MINI or anything in between.

I’ll be at the show, hopefully all wobbly in the knees after seeing forms like the above. So worth it. Looking forward to seeing all of you.

Four Door FERRARI…

Yes, psd images from our friends at Jalopnik. But the design is what counts, and these are rockin.’

Major Ferrari cues wrapped in a four-door package. And since this is a design study, there’s room for unusual resolutions. I like this car for a lot of reasons, but I thought you’d all enjoy to see what’s out there.

I’d call it the FERRARI TIRAMISU 700. …tasty.

Holy SAN FRANCISCO!!!

This past week, the boys of MyRide and I headed to San Francisco to shoot two new episodes of “WORLD OF CARS.” And boy, was this a crazy week…

FADE IN

The Club. Not just any club, but CLUB SPORTIVA. An extremely well run dream generating auto enthusiast club, catering to those wishing to drive the ULTIMATE EXOTIC! And thanks to head honcho, Torbin Fuller, that’s exactly what you get.

I’m saving the details for the upcoming episode, but let me just tell you that getting involved with these guys will light your fire!

…We started off the day driving the Bentley Continental GT, then on to the Ferrari F430 and finally to the Lamborghini Gallardo. SICK!!! It was like riding a 50 foot wave,…..FOR 6 HOURS STRAIGHT!!

Then, it was onto Lombard Street to run the “Crookedest Street on the Planet.” Or is it? (What’s the picture above?) Only time and the episode will tell. Coming in just a couple of weeks, folks!

But, if you’re ever in San Francisco, and you love cars, then CLUB SPORTIVA should be your first stop! Big thanks to all the boys there that helped us out! Especially, Torbin. An incredibly humble and passionate car guy, doing it all for the right reasons…
