TT Isle of Man

The 2012 Isle of Man TT came to a close today with the already postponed Senior race being cancelled for the first time in the event’s 105-year history. A course inspection by race control and rider representatives, including Honda TT Legend John McGuinness, deemed the race unsafe to go ahead due to poor weather conditions. 

John McGuinness

I think it was the right decision to cancel the race today. I’d love to be here tomorrow waiting for the sun to shine so we can race, but that's not an option and for me, the track just wasn’t quite right.  Racing my favourite bike here, starting at the front and possibly winning races is the best thing in the world, but I’m also really nervous about riding the big bikes in patchy and damp conditions. It’s disappointing for everybody but tomorrow’s another day and we’re already looking forward to next year.

Icon to build Aston Martin ‘DB4 GT Zagato Roadster’

by classicdriver.com
The American company Icon is perhaps better known for its wonderful ‘retro’ 4x4s. From now onwards, though, it will also be famous for bringing a legendary design back into the limelight: Ercole Spada, the stylist of the 1960s DB4 GT bodied by Zagato, has penned a roadster version for Icon, running on modern Aston Martin V12 mechanicals but with the lines of the original very much apparent.

 S & Company in Osaka is a customer car that had dressed a Mercedes Benz  AMG 300SL in a full Gold Rush vinyl wrap for this year’s Auto Salon. Shikata-san, the man behind S & Co has an impressive workshop where all sorts of restoration and custom magic happens to a variation of vintage as well as modern cars, but one side of his business is creating custom vinyl wraps for all sorts of applications..

A Film i shot about Dustin Kott, 
the Californian bike builder who makes custom British style Cafe racers out of old japanese bikes.
I met Dustin in LA on a Harley-Davidson shoot, and was intrigued 
how a classic American who looks like he should be building
Choppers, was passionate about little old Brit bikes,
and was using cheap 70s Japanese bikes to make lovely custom Cafes.

URBAN OUTLAW

URBAN OUTLAW is a portrait of Magnus Walker, the rebel Porsche customizer who turned a hobby into an obsession, and an obsession into a successful business. From a workshop in downtown Los Angeles, Magnus obsessively harvests fragments from donor 911s, grafting them onto vintage frames to create one-off automobiles with the spirit of Ferdinand Porsche but an ethos entirely his own.
