Blood and Hot Rods

I've had a nose bleed all night, weird, woke me up even.... wonder what that's about.

This saturday is the street rod nationals are on at the Belville High Grounds, and although, Im not one for "Group Sex", as my car is for my pleasure, and not to gather to show it off and talk shit with another bunch of elitists, I will be going through, to support hot rodding in Cape Town. Fuck I'll just be happy to be driving my Maybelline again, since it has been a long while, with all the little bit's and pieces that needed doing.

Im not one of these car guys who rattle off shit and make themselves important buy how much they know about cars, and who and how and all that shit, I fell in love with my car when I saw it, it came up for sale and I bought it, no long nights earning my stripes under the hood so to speak. I leave that to "those" guys they know so much more than I do.

So if you want a good look at what guys are doing in the Western Cape, and "those" guys get on your nerves as much as they do mine, stop by me and say hello, I promise to talk shit about a whole bunch of other things...

A good friend and client brought this in for me, it’s part of an article written by Charlotte Cohen, and it sums it up well. What is a honourable mensch It is a voice, and the understanding behind it. It is the eyes, and the intelligence behind them. It is the recognition that support is needed, and asked for, giving it And the kindness that lies behind all of that. It’s keeping quiet when one ought and speaking when one should and knowing the difference. It’s giving pr

There is a song by Bruce Springsteen from the album Nebraska that goes like this My little sister's in the front seat with an ice cream cone My ma's in the backseat sittin' all alone As my pa steers her slow out of the lot for a test drive down Michigan Avenue Now my ma she fingers her wedding band And watches the salesman stare at my old man's hands He's tellin' us all 'bout the break he'd give us if he could but he just can't Well if I could I swear I know just what I'd do Now mister the day the lottery I win I ain't ever gonna ride in no used car again Now the neighbors come from near and far As we pull up in our brand new used car I wish he'd just hit the gas and let out a cry and tell 'em all they can kiss our asses goodbye My dad he sweats the same job from mornin' to mornin' Me I walk home on the same dirty streets where I was born Up the block I can hear my little sister in the front seat blowin' that horn The soun
