While sitting on the throne I figured I had crap to take care of and that included posting up some pics from Mfest VI. Here’s a few pics and I’ll be sure to post up more once I get them of the camera. Congrats to Chris and the Mfest fam for turning it out once again.

With a collection of cars that range from vintage to exotic, this mans empire was literally built on junk. He’s got a moving story that shows you once again that anything and everything is possible so long as you believe in your vision and put in the work.

…..check out this bad ass photo that JL Swag sent over. Racks on racks on racks.

Mfest kicks off at the end of this week and a fleet of Mfest preppers are taking care of some last minute mods and preparations. It’s all going down soon enough so stay posted for more updates. From supercharged Audi R8′s and Gallardos all the way to track ready Porsches and Bimmers it’s gonna be an epic get together that’ll also include factory backing from GM and Lexus with their CTS-V’s and a pair of LFA’s.

Congratulations to Roman on the successful launch and grand opening of his new studio called Artistic Element Tattoo on Melrose. The spot was jumpin with plenty of friends and familiar faces and to say that it was packed would be a complete understatement. A lot of heavy weight artists and collectors were to be found and the lively event was a success in itself. Here’s a few flicks. Enjoy!

It’s rare to see a cover that you like better than the original but Walk Off The Earth definitely proved otherwise with their take on Gotye’s original track. Simply said, they killed it. Not only did their group gang bang a guitar but the creativity behind this video was killer and the vocals were spot on if not better.  Enjoy and have a great day!

We spent about a good half hour trippin’ out on this old school Corolla fitted with an S2K motor and HRE Wheels….just goes to show you that you don’t have to roll out super exotics to grab a lil attention.

That “dude” Nit.

A Bugs Life. Who doesn’t want to see a Bugatti in black and red?

Batim and the BBI Crew brought some heat.

Mario and the boys from Nok fillin’ up the beast.

Yesterday we had a few meetings for Recoil and Bound By Ink and along with that we also took down three photoshoots. Two of the shoots went down at our studios in El Segundo while the third one was over in Orange County.  With that said, everything went well and even better is that everyone showed up early so we got a good head start. I will say this though……some people need to just chill the fu*ck out. LOL…I know….I know….I should just keep my mouth shut but on the reals, there’s been way too many cooks in the kitchen, too many gate nazis and too many damn whistle blowers and pussy footers that skip around not wanting to hurt  feelings.  All I’m trying to say is that a few of you (who also happened to read the blog) need to take a long deep breathe, take a few steps back and chill. We’re all blessed to work with so many talented inviduals and while we do put together some of the best selling magazines on the market, we don’t make nuclear warheads so be easy and let’s all have some fun while getting the job done.

Meeting No. 1 with…..(L-R) A Mate, Chee I Joe & Where’s the Burgers at?

Here’s a few more flicks from last weekend’s Targa Trophy. This week has been one long blur and I haven’t been able to catch up let alone pick my nose. I’ll have more pics from the 2012 Targa Trophy up shortly as well as more posts so hang tight.

WELL, I THOUGHT I’VE SEEN IT ALL, BUT NOW THERE’S A COMPANY THAT OFFERS YOU PRIVATE JET TRANSPORT TO GET YOU BACK TO YOUR PRIMARY CARE SPECIALIST FROM WHEREVER YOU ARE IN THE WORLD.  IMAGINE, YOU ARE ON A SAFARI IN AFRICA AND WHILE HUNTING A LION, YOU GET BIT BY POISONOUS SNAKE AND ARE FACING DEATH.  WELL, YOU CALL A NUMBER AND THEY SET YOU UP WITH A LOCAL HOSPITAL THEN ONCE YOU ARE STABILIZED, THEY RUSH YOU BACK HOME VIA PRIVATE JET…..DAMN

Johnny B. striking a pose besides his rearranged Aston Martin on the 10 fwy. You might remember his feature in HH but now you won’t be able to forget him after seeing this picture. Good thing everyone was OK. Cars and luxury goods are all replaceable but health isn’t.

Congrats to Gevo for getting the first 2012 Mercedes Benz AMG C63 Black Series in Southern California. This silver bullet aka The Demon’s Chariot is a beast and the new look gets a definite thumbs up. Let’s see what he has in store for this bad mofo and I’ll post up more pictures later.

When someone’s dogs has their own pet hotel located at the side of the house with doggie specific entrances then you can only imagine what their garage and toy collection might look like. Stay tuned for a full feature on one moguls estate which was fully dedicated to his cars, toys and dogs. It’s a must see feature that’ll make you envy a dog’s life.

Why lie? You get a lot of perks being in this business and it’s really no surprise that you get invited to plenty of functions but the one thing that it wont land you is the chance to taste cookies before they hit the market! LOl…Kinda like these new cookies by Keebler. These new cookies are called Sandies Toffe Shortbread and long story short….they’re the business. For reals. These melt in your mouth, make you violent if you touch ‘em type o’ cookies are good if you’re into shortbread so buyer beware and get ready to scoop some up once they hit a market near you.

So how did I get a chance to come up on theses? Let’s just say, my sister knows someone that knows an elf who happens to be related to Keebler. LOL. I don’t even know when these are supposed to drop but we’ve had slabs of these for a few months now. Eat on. #teamfatty

A great view and a very detailed collection of classics and hot rods make for a great story especially when you hear this one. He’s one of the powers behind a company that peaked out at 25 billion dollars and his words of wisdom and advice are definitely priceless. It’s all in the next issue of Heavy Hitters Magazine.

One of the most memorable quotes in his upcoming feature was….“It’s better to be a small fish in a big ocean than it is to be a big fish in a small pond.”
