The RS hot rod made it to Europe..

Many of you have probably seen the RS clone in Magnus his workshop a while ago. He picked up the car for me last February, and I drove it around SoCal for 2 weeks in March. A great adventure I have to say. After my working-holiday in L.A. Magnus started work on the car for me and after doing a bunch of proper test drives he shipped it off to The Netherlands last July. The car arrived a little while ago and is now ready for DMV import inspection, to which I'll be going tomorrow morning. Wish me luck!

Here's a photo of today, running around the Dutch country side. Autumn is kicking in and it sure helps with taking a few cool photos. Click to enlarge..... -M.

URBAN OUTLAW -THE BACK STORY



URBAN OUTLAW

THE BACK STORY..

way back in january of this year i recieved an e-mail from a canadian film director by the name of TAMIR MOSCOVICI,

he had read MAURICES article about me in TOTAL 911,

i replied back to him & included a link to my PELICAN PARTS * OUTTA CONTROL HOBBY POST*-


A Few E-mails & a phone call or 2 later TAMIR expressed his interest in coming down to LA to film a 5-7 short documentry film on me & my cars,

being a film maker he knew that there may be more to my story that had printed!

so a month or so later we met up for the first time at 7 AM on the first day of our
4 day shoot, Tamir had hired a 6 person local crew & we set about shooting what would become URBAN OUTLAW.

it was shot on a shoe string budget over 4 fun filled days in & around LA,
on a handshake & leap of faith.

this was my first time in front of the camera!

neither of us knew where this would end up...

in late may we relaesed the 3 minute trailer URBAN OUTLAW ...viewd over 1.5 millon times.

MANY.MANY THANKS TO TAMIR MOSCOVICI...& HIS TEAM



without his wisdom,vision,talent & generosity none of this would have happened.












URBAN OUTLAW WILL BE "ONLINE" OCTOBER 15TH.

STAY TUNNED....
