One Mile Challenge 2018
Read more: One Mile Challenge 2018One Mile Challenge – fastest event in Baltics. Gathering of 100 or so cars who aim to reach the highest speed at one mile marker. Can I already say that traditionally a vlog is in place. https://youtu.be/cDTO7W7R71A Usually there are two “One Mile” events a year, so if somebody broke down or didn’t manage to prepare the car for the first round – there was second. Different this year, only one chance to break the Estonian record. Record is held by Roul Liidemann and his twin turbo charged Dodge Viper GTS. It’s 362 km/h. As you probably guessed, it’s a party…

American Beauty Car Show 2018
Read more: American Beauty Car Show 2018Here’s a massive gallery with 100 pics from the annual American Beauty Car Show in Haapsalu. I love coming to this small town during the event. Fact that only American cars (and most of them old) are allowed to enter the Old Town makes it a bit like Cuba, if you understand what I mean. It was the first time I came to the show on Friday (ran through it in one hour and drove 3h further to Rally Estonia). I was able to go inside the castle before the general public, so made few clean shots. Also the evening…

American beauty car show 2017 // Drag Race
Read more: American beauty car show 2017 // Drag RaceDrag Racing in Haapsalu is a long-standing Estonian tradition. It’s even more intriguing to experience it when only traditional American muscle cars and dragsters are around. American Beauty Car Show’s finale is always celebrated at a 1/4 mile strip and is considered more of a show event that a competition.

American Beauty Car Show 2017
Read more: American Beauty Car Show 2017Year after year I say that American Beauty Car Show in Haapsalu is my favourite car event in Estonia. Scale of the meet speaks for itself, spreading everywhere around Haapsalu town. Official show is held inside a castle, but very often you’ll find more legendary cars on the streets. Muscle cars, bombs, lowriders, old “suitcase” style cars, new models, hotrods and more. This post will cover only the show and what happens around the castle.. in few days I’ll try to prepare a gallery with the parade, where everyone are burning their tires as well as the official 1/4 dragrace.…

American Beauty Car Show // 2016
Read more: American Beauty Car Show // 2016American Beauty Car Show in Haapsalu was always one of my favourite events on the year, just because of the aura it brings to this small city in Western Estonia. I won’t bore you a lot with details, I wrote all that in previous years here. For photographer’s point of view, what’s happening on the streets is more interesting than what is at the show venue. Two takeaways I made: 1) Estonians started building hotrods based on american cars 2) pinstriping got more popular. Enjoy the gallery! ON THE STREETS IN THE CASTLE
