Hmm

Nothing better then a nice ride in the Californian sun...

Almost there...

I have a containernumber so I can track it down via the Maerskline website. It was discharged in Bremerhaven, Germany and now it's loaded again on the Maersk Antares which will head for Rotterdam. Nice shot of this brand new vessel of the Maersk fleet:



I'm keeping my fingers crossed...Hope everything will go right this time...

Pentastar location

One of our not-to-mention-by-name mopar brothers, once ordered two of those gold/bronze colored pentastars and he only has one mopar...so we laughed at him. Here's how and where to punt your pentastar on your car:

1963 Army Dodge at Bob's

Thought I would help Bob...this car's for sale at Bob Mosher's. I like it. Would like to have it too. But transport to The Netherlands is completely off-scale in comparrison what the car costs. To bad...I really like at as a daily.

1968 Plymouth GTX

I was wandering through my picture archive and came across this one. It's not an early B, but I think this one of the best looking GTX's I've ever seen. Oh, it's a survivor by the way...

Evil sister

For sale on eBay, my car's Evil Sister: 1965 Dodge Coronet Hemi. Like the front wheels. Personally I would've mounted steelies in the back.

My daily AF/X

Overhere, where gasprizes are WAY MUCH higher than on every other place in the world, it's not very efficient to drive a gaspowered V8 gasguzzler as a daily driver. In stead, I have the opposite; a 1989 Suzuki Alto GLX AF/X. Itsn't she cute...

Track 'n trace

Got a containernumber this week from the transport company. Now I can track 'n trace the container which (hopefully) contains my car.

Anger

I was looking for a suitable picture that would express my anger towards the shipping company. This is the one:

Burn in hell: shipping company!

I'm so damn pissed of you can't even imagine. After being told my car was on the Glasgow Maersk and on her way to Europe, the fuckers just LIED. I just can't understand WHY they would do that. The car is STILL IN NEWARK U.S.A.!!!! FUCK! Excuse my french but I'm just so finished with these "nice" shipping companies where "customer satisfaction" is #1 and "good service" is #2. Well, eat it, sit on it and you can stick that where the sun doesn't shine. Customer testimonials on their site...pfff choke on it, get a fat brain. This will be, the last time ever I will ship a car across the big pond.

Attempt 2 is put in motion. Now the shipping company promissed me the car is on the Maersk Messologi (former Mayview Maersk as seen here on the picture. I told my contact that this was very hard to believe until proven otherwise. We'll see...we'll see...

Full Speed Ahead! Ay Captain!

Don't you just love modern technology? You can trace the ship's position via internet:

Glasgow Maersk

Well...I hope this is the last post I will ever do about my car being transported to The Netherlands because I'm getting tired of waiting and being informed wrong. My contact promissed me that this time, the transport company on the other side of the big pond, has scheduled my car for transport. After some detective work, I found out that the vessel with my container has left the Newark Harbour on the 14th of may at noon and will arrive the 24th of may in the port of Rotterdam. Here's an actual shot if the Glasgow Maersk and what a nice ship she is...

Sister?

Marcel found this shot of a 65 Dodge Coronet 2dr. sedan. Besides the upholstry, it looks a lot like mine. Shot was taken in Pueblo, Colorado:

Sunday

Just a quick post because it's too damn nice weather to sit behind the computer.

Oh...my...god...

I have nothing to say.

Rick Johnson's 64

Bob

How cool is this shot!! This is Bob Mosher and me during one of my visits at his shop.

Mr. Classic vs Candymatic

62 dash?

I found this 1963 Plymouth Savoy on Cars-On-Line:



It's not cheap so to speak. It looks nice but when I looked at some pictures, I noticed that this car has a 1962 dash. Is this possible?

1965 Dodge Coronet Wagon

This car lives in the Netherlands. You can find some info on the website of the Trashers Carclub: http://www.trashers.nl/. I don't know what happend to this car or what the current state is but I like it. I like white wagons...Did I mention that before?

Touché

Painted on Bob Mosher's shop Dart...

Woops

Holy crap I just forgot (!) to post! Well...here's a little eyecandy from our Guru Bob Mosher. This is my dreamcar...65 Belv, Black, Red interior, fenderwell headers...etc. etc... *sigh *

Moparshop Germany

Take a look at this nice shop-shot of the Moparshop Germany. That's a nice set 'o hemi's you got there Oliver!

V-Dub

In the MoparMax article you can read that before Bob Mosher started with his moparism, he drove some Volkswagens. Well, I did too so I recon it's appropriate to show my old aircooled eyecandy I drove.


1958 Panelvan. This was in mint condition. I sold it because of that. It should be in a museum. Before this I drove a 1969 Bug and a 1958 Bug with a ragtop.


1970 1600TL. Nice driver. Dual carbs, lowered, 8 spoke EMPI's, Gene Berg short shifter. Sounds fast altogether...it wasn't. This was my last VW.

Live Earth's Mosher view

I was experimenting with Live Earth which has a way too cool Birdseye feature. Ofcourse I checked out the view on Mosher's place. Yes I know...I'm a freak....



You can see the shop's Dart parked outside, next to the grey Stude.

Container with a view

This is what my Dodge should be seing right now...It's floating!

Mopars at the Strip

I drove past the strip last summer during my holiday in the States. I kinda dreamed away that someday, I will be present at this event. Here's some pictures, including some very, very hot early's:

Mosher's feature on MoparMax

MoparMax did an article on Bob Mosher's shop. Check it out:

Non-understanders

Due to very weak dollar-currency, the rest of the world is shopping the USA empty...meaning...there's no room on any vessel for cars. Delays are upto 2 to 3 months. Sad. I'm waiting for my car about 1 month right now...I'm sick of stupid harbor personel.

Extra: new paintjob for Dusty

Yes I know...I'm aware of the fact that this isn't a early b-body but I think I should mention this critical event: Marcel's Duster has a new paintjob. Check out the before and after shots:

Before:

Weekendbreak

Because I'm not in reach of a computer this weekend, here's some eyecandy for the weekend:

Nothing to see here

Everything you need: factory cutouts and a 4 speed. Shame you can't see them like this every time...

Did I mention that wagons are cool?

The badest decal ever

This is a reproduction of the badest decal ever to be found on a car. Ofcourse it was found on a 65 superstock mopar equiped with a racehemi:

Mr. Gasket Co.

I believe I saw this one for sale once on http://www.cars-on-line.com/ . Nice color combo and I like the subtile decals on the doors...

Mam, I scratched my rearbumper...

Now...everybody go home, go sit in a corner and cry.

Voyeurism

This the coolest place to be when you're not able to race yourself:

Red

Flintstones

Found a shot of me in Marcel's Savoy when it was an earlier stage. Look at my foot...floorboard delete option.

Mirrored

On the 65 Dodge 2dr sedan, the left outside mirror was an option. Mine isn't equiped with one, but Dutch law forced me to mount one. To be honest, I don't like the correct dual post mirrors. So, I looked at some pictures of Bob Mosher's cars, and they are equiped with non-original mirrors, which, I like! It looks period-correct to me...hell it even looks stock! Here's an example of an original, dual post mirror.



Now Casey found one of these on ePay. Looks pretty much like the one Mosher uses. I think i'll order one...
