An Oldie, But Goodie…
I was in desperate need of a blog post this morning and only had 7 minutes to get it done… What to do? Stroll to the tech archive, close my eyes, and pin the tail on the donkey. The winner? Drewfus and his incredible tech article covering his home made Hallock style windshield. If you [...]
Goodwood & Back To The 50′s
Two great shows this weekend and the H.A.M.B. has got them both covered. The first is a show that I have always wanted to attend – Goodwood Festival of Speed.

A lot of us were influenced as tikes by things like skateboarding, dirt bikes, BMX racing, etc… These others mediums bring an edgyness [...]
The Ferrari Shoot
This is a story that I have wanted to write for a long time. It’s a story about family, tradition, form, and horsepower and the different ways each can be found in cars that, at first and second glance, are very different from one another. Before I get started however, I think an introduction of [...]
Speedster
“Fur Biscuit” is a sneaky little bastard, isn’t he? One minute he mentions possibly rebodying his speedster and the next he is posting pictures of a job well done. I love this little car. You will too.
