WELCOME!

I decided to start this blog to as an avenue for me to be able to post about some of the fun things that I do from time to time. It could be a Car Show revue, what I did on Vacation, what I like about this or that automobile, my experience with a photo shoot, what I have in my Automobilia collection, or whatever I think of at the moment. I hope you like it! All feedback will be appreciated.

A little bit of an update for mid 2013

Well this week I was doing some investigative work to see what I needed to do to get more traffic to my YouTube account. After watching a few informative videos, I have been trying out some things that were mentioned in the videos I watched. To put things in short context, I now post things on several other sites to draw views to my stuff. Besides the videos, I am posting photos a little more too. I have now started using different websites to help out with the views. Now to see what happens over the next few weeks, or months as I will be posting more and more all over the place. I thought using my blog would help out, but not as much as I would like it to have. I will still be telling my stories, posting the videos, and making sure to add photos to the blog just so I can share my passion of the automotive life with the world. I just needed to see what else there is out there to help. So please check out my stuff when you get the chance to do so as I hope my blog will be one of my main sources of sharing. THANK YOU!

VIDEO: Moal Coachbuilders 1936 Ford AeroSport

Since I am behind on so many things, I have been unable to make it to any current car show. Not really by choice though. I usually have it all planned ahead to go to one somewhere in the area, but as usual, whomever I have invited ends up bailing out on me for reasons unknown. So I just decide to stay home and enjoy a little time with my wife to save the money I would have spent. Now that I have told the world how things have been lately, here is a video from the 2011 Good-Guys West Coast Nationals. The Moal Coachbuilders 1936 Ford AeroSport. This car is absolutely beautifully hand crafted by some serious talent. It was awesome to have seen this one, so check it out and tell me what you think. Also, if whomever is reading this and watching the video could please subscribe to my channel, I would greatly appreciate it. You can share it too. Always good to share things you like. THANK YOU!

VIDEO: Details from Woodie Wagons

As I had noted in my previous blog posting of the Woodie Wagons, this video was kind of put together as a joke to show what some of these owners do with the rides to get them to look as awesome as they do. But some things are just a bit of overkill in my opinion. I just have to say this, These rides are one of my favorite automobiles, and they always will be. Thank You for checking out the blog!

VIDEO: A WALK IN THE WOODS - Woodie Wagons at Good-Guys West Coast Nationals 2011

While doing my usual walking around and filming cars and taking photos at the Good-Guys 2011 West Coast Nationals, I came across, well what I like to call "A grove of Woodie Wagons" parked in an area of the fairgrounds under the trees. Due to my Southern California roots, Woodies are one of my all time favorites and I just had to grab some footage. I edited this little bit together to keep it short, but I have more coming. One will follow this posting, but it's kind of a little joke the way I did it. Kind Of! I really love these cars and someday, I would love to have one for myself. Have a view of the video, and Thank You for checking out my blog.

Tony is a member of the STYLE KINGS Car Club. Even though at the time it was still under construction, this car is absolutely beautiful. Check It Out! Tell Me if you like it or don't. THANK YOU for watching!

VIDEO: 1931 Ford Pickup at GoodGuys West Coast Nationals 2011

I have so much footage from different events and shows throughout the past couple years, that I decided to go back and get some editing done so I could add some videos to my YouTube channel. So far I have a few done, but I have been forgetting to add them here to the blog. So much going on that my mind isn't all there. Not that it ever was all there, but it's worse than usual. Just like the previous videos I posted recently, I will be doing more and posting them based on the event in which I had attended to get through it all. So with that said, Here is a cool 1931 Ford Pickup that really caught my eye back in 2011 at the Good-Guys West Coast Nationals in Pleasanton, California. Check it out! Tell me if it sucks or if I did okay on the editing, or just tell me whatever. I need some feedback.
