Wheel Porno

Got these sweet & rare Cal Parts wheels for my Oval, but sold them after getting rid of the Oval. I polished the lips and got the centres painted gold with huge flakes. Very sexy, yeah baby! Here are some more pic's

Sports are bad, Mkay.

I'm starting feel that sports aren't that good hobby for over 30 year old dudes like me, as I hurt my ankle while playing basketball with my friends last night.It got swollen and now looks like a grandma's foot.

The Blue Brothers

I had that same '63 beetle before I sold it to my friend. Here it is on the construction site of our house in 2005 with my Notcho, just before I sold it.

Welding the '63

There were some holes in the door of my friends '63 beetle. No wonder, as the sound deadning pad had fallen in the bottom of the door, and kept the it moist rusting the door inside. Had to weld & grind a bit.

Playing with Kids

This weekend it was all cut&tape, we made cardboard Radiator Springs that came piece by piece with Disneys Cars magazine. I bet they can demolish 3 hours work in about 9 seconds.

This is how my 912 has left the factory.

DWL Youngtimer?

Here's Tero's new golf Mk1 project. '81 GLS with cool original red interior to be exact. There's also a couple of Mk1 Gti's and one wannabe Gti project going in my friends garages, I must post them up some time.

Snow Plow

It's been snowing, which is nice. A lot nicer than that wet and dark fall weather we've had past two months. Waiting for the video from this '56 oval plowing the snow.

Winter is near.

850km in two days, business trip to Oulu is over once again.

ToyCrazy!

There was a sale on the toy store, 20% off.

Another 15 Minutes In Fame

Here are pictures of a story on local newspaper last spring. They interviewed and photographed me and my friend for a story about old VW's on the automotive special on this newspaper called the Karjalainen. I sold the '54 Oval on these pictures to get my Porsche.

Jokon Rückfahrscheinwerfer!

I just got these über cool NOS Jokon reverlights for my 1500S! These are pretty rare beasts! And I got them for 30€!

Newspaper surprise!

Funny surprise when flying back from Beijing yesterday. I found my colleagues on one picture in a wednesdays newspaper called the Ilta-Sanomat, and realized I was on the same flight from Vienna to Helsinki three weeks ago, where the picture was taken. A closer look and I found my own back of the head on the picture too! How many times would things like this happen? Sitting in an airplane reading a newspaper seeing yourself sitting in an airplane?

Here's my 912

I'm planning also to get rid of copy fuchs, mine are 6x15", and replace them with original 5,5" and 6" steelies.

Taisto's and Artsi's 912

Artsi sent me these photo's of their father&son Porsche 912 project. It's an early SWB three gauge car from 1966. Linked photos shows mostly how the car was when they started. Car was running summer 08 with 7x15" copy Fuchs wheels and front seats from seventies, as you can see from the pics below. But now they are restoring original 5,5" steelies and getting the original front seats refurnished.

Tiananmen Square / Walk around the town

This must be my 6 or 7 visit to Beijing, but before I haven't had a day off, so today I went to see the Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden city and took about 6km walk back to the hotel. I saw for example odd looking MB100 Van, two shops that were selling police car emergency light systems! Click Here for more photos.

A Photoshop Slam

Joensuu crest.

I was toying around with photoshop and planned this crest for my ex-oval from my home towns coat of arms.

Back In Beijing

This time view from the hotel room window consist of massive modern CCTV Tower on the right and on the left there's the new neck breaking China World Trade Center Tower III. It is a 330 m (1,083 ft) tall skyscraper with 74 floors.

Western or Chinese

Traditional chinese fried rice and traditional american? fries. A lonely travellers dinner.

The Symbol of the Phoenix City

There's this massive statue of the Phoenix bird at the main entrance of the housing area of tens of thousands people and massive 600 room five star Phoenix City Hotel.

What does Belleydantzah eat?

Kebab. Grilled kebab. We went for a dinner the other night to a great place called Thousand and ones nights restaurant. There was bellydancing every half an hour, and great grilled kebab meat!

Guangzhou China 5-8th. of Nov08

Phoenix Hotel, Guangzhou Guangyuan East Rd. Zengcheng P.R. China, back at my kantonese base, I've spent way too many nights here. Had a nice work out in the gym and refreshing swim in the outside pool area. Eases the 'hotellikuolema' (death by boredom) a little bit. But I'd rather be at home with kids or spending time working on my cars in my own garage. Well you can't win every time.

15 minutes in fame

Last spring local newspaper made a story about my Oval and Vdub hobby.

Stencil

A stencil I made a couple of years ago.
