THE ESSKAY MERC | BETTER LATE THEN NEVER

I found myself last night laying in bed around 2pm about to go to sleep after a late night of working on the cars... and for some reason my old Merc was flowing through my head, I was thinking things like what would it look like if i still owned it? and how long I would have it lasted on QLD roads.

I ended up falling asleep and woke up to remember about this photoshoot/rollers our friend and Contributor of the site James Dean did of the car, and actually it was the day the new owner picked it up.... I had hardly any rollers of the car so we quickly got some of it near my old house before it got picked up... and then also realising it actually never got posted anywhere.... so... ummm... 
here it is... hahaha
nearly a year old but still one of the cars I wish never got away.... ENJOY!

Thanks James for the photos and sorry they never got posted till now... 

much love!

Thanks, Streetkarnage.

JUNE DOWNSHIFT

Last Saturday was the June Downshift meet, this was the 2nd DS event I have attended at this location. After being undecided about attending due to myself still being intoxicated from the night before, I made few phone calls. Troy ended picking me up and drove the 7. We rolled out to the meet with the other BMW (Nelson, Chad and Jackson) guys!

This was the first outing for the Streetkarnage 7.

I wish I could have got my car in this photo. I think we will need to head out one morning early as to get some cool rolling shots of us all together!

I think the drive up along the highway is the best part of these meets.. All of us gold coast peeps have to do the hour or so drive up to Brisbane!

As you would have noticed by the amounts photos I have taken of Nelson's e46.. I love it.. this thing is ridiculously photogenic!

When this pulled in it got a damn big crowd.. I was lucky to snap a few shots before it got swarmed by people!

Nice, clean looking s15 rocking TE37 SLs.

Really digged this s14 rocking r33 GTR wheels... shit was damn low as well!

Ash's ITBs on his Civic, love seeing this car every time, can't get enough of it!

2 very clean cars.. e30 was mega cool and the zenki s14 is always great to see out!

Very cool to see this NSX in person.. have seen a few shots getting around the net after the owner sold his S2000 and upgraded to this!

Didn't get heaps of shots at the meet.. as i was hungover as hell and only took photos when I saw something I liked heaps! hahaha!

and again.. the hour drive back was spent looking at these 3 amazing BMWs

Chad's M3 is nothing short of perfection... it just cant get much better then this!

...and I will leave it on that note!

Thanks, Streetkarnage.

BALLIN' LIKE A SIR!

Nick Pro our man from Philly, has done it again.. you would remember his 244 and also the recent killer rusted out 242. 

Well Nick has been a bit quiet lately and this week I found out why... he has picked up a W124 e320 Wagon, and has done to it, what he does best...

MADE IT FUCKING BADASS!!

It seems to be getting harder and harder to be a little bit different in now not just your local scene but the world wide scene, thanks to the amount of blogs and automotive photographers.. everything is seen!


But I think Nick has stepped out of the ordinary vehicle category and gone with something different and has completed it extremely well!

I think Nick and Myself have very similar visions when modifying cars! 
Just this week I was have been looking at, around about the same year model mercs.. thinking shit, I want to build one! 
 I used to never be able to appreciate the styling of this shape mercedes, but recentely the thing I disliked about them, the boxiness... has become the thing I really like about them! 


I swear I don't understand my mind at all, it confuses the hell out of me sometimes! haha


Thanks, Streetkarnage.
