Ryan Cochran: The Fuel Tank TV Interview

Ryan did a great post on the mad artists at Fuel Tank TV some time back. What Mr. Cochran neglected to update us on was that he actually sat down for a candid one-on-one interview with these guys when he visited Melbourne, Australia*this past Jan... <BR><BR>To read the rest of this blog entry from The Jalopy Journal, click here.

 

I cant imagine Ryan letting a post with his mug on it to stay open too long!!! HAHAA!

 

hahahah Ryan has to let this stay up because it has already gotten out once before, too many have seen it already for him to try and hide it

 

There goes the witness protection program all shot to hell.

 

I think it's a cool interview and definitely not contrived,,honest.

I also remember reading a long time ago about the origin of the HAMB but seriously do you think the Hokey Ass Message Board would be near the international phenomenon without the tongue cheek name?

Once again,I thank you Ryan for your vision and dedication to traditional Hot Rods & Customs. HRP

 

Hell must have frozen over.............................

 

Yeah, Jay, I got the scoop last month

Cool interview, nice to see TJJ is a passion based business. Always the best way...

 

I saw this the other month when someone else posted it. Good stuff, I was always curious who Mr. Cochran was, now I know. Thanks for this place Ryan, it keeps me sane as the only male in my house (twin three year old daughters, and an eight month old daughter)!

 

I love what fuel does holy crap spot on boys , but can I get my 14 min of my life back.....

Posted using the full custom HAMB App that I paid $99.99 for. Best money I ever spent.

 

Double Cool - Thanks

 

Luke and Ryan... both really smart fellas.

 

What a great interview Ryan. Have only met you once but know you fairly well from this site. Your insight is exactly what I expected. Thanks. Satan must be sleeping with a heating blanket.

 

I like this. Ryan is usually that laid back when I talk to him and always a pleasure to shoot the shit with. Good company.

Speaking on the subject of the HAMB being better or worse 10 years ago, I've heard that a bunch in the last year. Typically people have said that there's nothing going on on the HAMB lately and my response is that the HAMB is like anything else. You get out of it what you put in. You can't expect everyone else to build stuff to inspire you all the time. Sometimes you have to contribute yourself! Anybody see Von Hartman's A coupe thread? Tell me that's not as good as anything that's ever been posted on this site?

Those Lortabs really worked....

 

amen dude! And von Hartman's A is INCREDIBLE!

 

Honestly, I do.

Hard to argue with that. Or, it is like finding good music on the radio. It's out there, you just have to wade through a bunch of crap to find it. And what's great to you might be so-so to me, etc.

I will take this opportunity to say, once again, how thankful I am (we are) for Ryan's extraordinary vision to not only create this fantastic place but to manage it's growth so competently. Passion based, indeed!

 

hahahahaha 99.99 did i really just buy something i know nothing about , damn double whammy.....

 

I like this too. For those of us that have never had the honor of meeting Ryan, it nice to be able to put a face to the name. You've done a good thing here, Ryan, thanks for your efforts!

 

well now I feel more edumacated about the hamb and its roots `

 

OOOooo . . . . He's an ugly Fucker

 

and that 33...

Thanks Ryan.

The Seret thread is going to take care of that.Remember,the future of the HAMB rests on your shoulders

 

Ryan,

Your modesty is great and your passion greater.

Thanks, Mark

 

Inspiration comes in many forms. A Ford cpe in France, perfect. I got wound up about Porsche and Ferrari in Paris, France at 17yrs old. Knew em, just didn't get 'bit' until I walked up on em just parked like any other car. Kool stuff, but I have to finish the vid later. Ready for a 2nd coat...

 

Diva.

 

Nice interview, good insight into the man behind the curtain.

 

I liked it. I had never heard the origin of the name HAMB or I forgot that I had. It just seemed to fit I guess. Even old guys learn new stuff every day.
