Yokohama Hot Rod Custom Show 2017 // Gracious Pickups
Read more: Yokohama Hot Rod Custom Show 2017 // Gracious PickupsChevrolet stopped producing El Camino the year I was born. Chevy pickup went through five generations and all of them were on display at this year’s Yokohama Hot Rod Custom Show, although every vehicle was “slightly” customised. It was another spotlight of the show, next to the “Taste of Deuce”. There’s great hype for these vehicles and Japanese love them. Personally I’m quite sure that Chevy will resurrect the name sooner than later.

19. Frankfurt Model Car Show
Read more: 19. Frankfurt Model Car ShowI enjoyed this model car show probably more than any other car show I’ve ever been on. It’s about the scale: show is compact, but the number of exciting cars is 10 times more than on a normal car event, because every builder (gluer? 🙂 ) wants to put together a great kit with history. In one room I was able to experience half of DTM history, see rally cars from every era, look at modern and historic Formula 1 cars and many more. I wasn’t able to see the real Ford GT LM car, but hey, here it is…

Hot Wheels Convention Germany 2017
Read more: Hot Wheels Convention Germany 2017This weekend I visited my first ever Hot Wheels Convention. It was held in Germany – my favourite country for motorsport photography. This time it wasn’t the case, I limited myself to a small indoor hall, instead of Hockenheimring or Nordschleife. Event is relatively small, but positively humble – guys prepare convention cars (that sadly I couldn’t get, because of limited amounts and “members-get-served-first rule”), organise customs’ contest, have fun on a HW race course, mingle and, of course, sell and trade Hot Wheels models. Most of the time I wasn’t shooting, but running around the tables, trying to fill…

Alfa Romeo 155 V6 TI DTM
Read more: Alfa Romeo 155 V6 TI DTMWhen I attended my first Goodwood Festival of Speed I met face to face with around 50 of my dream cars. It’s very hard to say what car struck me the most: Rothmans Porsche 956 or a Ferrari 250 GTO or maybe this DTM prepped Alfa Romeo 155. First time I saw it in Gran Turismo computer game and it was my dream to see one in real life ever since. Seeing this car in some museum is one thing, but it’s a different experience to see it on track at race pace. Yes, car looks amazing, but best goodies…
