Finally Pics of my car at Gumball and more...

Hi everyone, I finally found the time to
upload pics of my car. Here are my albums
with tons of other sites below. I should have
my videos sometime this week. I will post some videos.



Some fun moments were doing 175 a couple of times, doing 140 in
a 40 MPH zone, one ticket for dick (100 in a 70 $320) and 1 for
me 85 in a 75 ($88 ;-) ), racing at a couple tracks, driving
with Murcielagos, Ferrari F50, and another 130 cars, going to
bed around 5-6am and getting up at 7am !, meeting Tony Hawk,
Jesse James and Mayor Willie Brown, and getting filmed by the
Gumball Crew (hopefully we will be in their Movie ;-)

Fred,

It was nice meeting you, sorry to not have sent you this earlier, but thank you for taking the time to answer some of my questions and talk to me about your car and your race experiences. It was a blast getting to see all of the cars, take care and keep in touch.

Michael

ps - it's a coincidence, but we just put our pics up too, and our video will be up in a few days also, check them out:

They look similar to my merc wheels but different centre caps of course. If they are, it should be Lowenhart BS5 superchrome with optional swarovski crystals.

**** Löwenhart is making nice rims...
Do u know if they have a homepage? I didn't find it on Google.

Though i don't think it's the same rim... The Screws are placed a little different and the distance between those 'sticks' is different...

Gumball Video with Fred's Car

Fred,


It was a pleasure to "roll down the turnpike" in Florida with you guys.

I complimented you as you got out of your car at the last gas station (on the turnpike, when you were "running with the guys in the Blue 360 modena.

You guys wouldn't spin the tires because you said it was 4 wheel drive (it is, but I could see you wanted to make it to Miami, not to a tire shop ;-)

I am glad you enjoyed the shaky camera footage ;-( (the sun wasn't so nice on your last shot, but your car is definetly sweet!).
