Yeah, I know...I suck, but I've been busy.......

Hard to believe that a few drunken messages back and forth between several of us a couple of years ago actually turned into something.....

And now we are pleased to announce......Issue Number 8....all new & improved, new look, more pages, more swearing from Paul

Official Press Release below.....

So folks…the magazine is currently at the printers…we are overwhelmed by the pre-orders and thank everyone who has already bought one…we really do appreciate the support…this is going to sound like a sales pitch but it isn't, if you do want one don't hang about…as we always say, we don't re-print so when they are gone they will definitely be gone…the magazine has more pages…that doesn't mean more adverts either…..its just a quality magazine…

2013.....March already.....

So,

I ended the year on a low note following the deaths of two close friends....its been 6 months since Dan left us, I miss that guy every day.....

Anyway...onward and upward as Del Boy would say (Google it)

The year got off to a slow start, crap weather, cold, rain and general winter weather....Mid Feb saw me & George head to Sacramento for the Autorama, we got to see the Americas Most Beautiful Roadster winner there....it was stunning.....

There was also a chance to check out "Sophia" the Caddy built by Oz Kustoms for John D'Agastino, the color was amazing....

Other than that, its been quiet, but the good weather & car show season are just round the corner, so watch this space....

Where did the year go????????

Sorry dear readers, its been a while, things have been busy, time has slipped away & my poor blog has been sadly neglected.....

My dear friend Dan was tragically taken from us early in September, it was a terrible shock. We are all still reeling from the loss....

And just 2 weeks ago, on Thanksgiving, of friend Jake passed away suddenly at home, he was 45 years old....another tragic loss....

It's been a tough few month's.....

2013 will be better all round I hope.

The Raydar Magazine project continues apace, 2 issues sold out, and #3 at the printers as I type....check out a copy if you can http://www.raygun-industries.co.uk/raydar/

Thats it for now....onward and upward as they say where I come from....

Happy Christmas everyone....yeah...I said Christmas...get over it.

I'll leave ya with these....

Jake in happier times, snoozing in the sunshine

Has summer already gone?

Just looked here at my poor neglected blog page to discover that its been almost 2 months since I even looked here, let alone posted anything....wow...I am sorry....

So, things have been busy, working all week & then shooting car shows & taking day trips & going to a wedding one weekend....even managed a mini-vacation up near Yosemite a few weeks back with my dogs....

We had a nice break......

Now...on with the day....

More soon....

Lone Star Roundup 2012...finally...

OK, so its been a couple of months since The Lone Star Roundup in Austin, and up till now, I have only shown you lovely folk's a few snapshot's from the event....the reason being that I was asked to cover the event for The Raydar Magazine....well...now it's out & has been for a few weeks, the time has come to let you all see em.....so, grab a beer, stick your feet up & enjoy the slideshow......
