Atlanta Performance & Fabrication: BMW 2002 Rat Rod

Awesome find, Stipistop! The car was build by Atlanta Performance & Fabrication, photos borrowed from StayClassyAtlanta (website down?). But why is that Bimmer right hand steered?

Mission: Impossible 4 Ghost Protocol, BMW Munich

"Mission: Impossible 4 – Ghost Protocol (Phantom Protkoll)" just had it's European premiere in Munich, at the BMW Welt. Accompanied by Tom Cruise aka Ethan Hunt, Paula Patton, und Simon Pegg I had the privilege to enjoy massive explosions, fabulous car chases and tons of sci-fi gadgets.

Usually we meet a lot of brand officials at events like these – but it seemed BMW, our host, followed the movie motto "Ghost Protocol" at that evening. Well – if anybody @BMW reads this: Thank you for the invitation!

Deahtless Rusty

Incredible. Mike Burroughs will bring Rusty back. This car — which has burned out — is like a cat. It has got nine lives.

24hours. One Team. One Target.

In 2010 Tim and Nick Hahne (Stereoscreen) set a benchmark with their "24 HOURS IN 19500 FRAMES" video. Even Top Gear titled: "The next 14 minutes of your life will be very enjoyable indeed ...". A few days ago Tim and Nick presented their latest teaser for "24hours. One Team. One Target". Here is a quote:

[...] The film tells the story of the BMW team facing its big target: winning the 24 Hours on the Nürburgring-Nordschleife, one of the biggest racing events in the world. The setting of the competition is the longest and most beautiful but nevertheless most dangerous racetrack, also known as the "Green Hell“. Over 200.000 fans build up their tents in the Eifel-woods to celebrate their heroes in more than 200 cars. Lap per lap, hour per hour, day and night.

Long before the race weekend, the film sets in. For month, the engineers, mechanics and especially the eight drivers in their two BMW M3 GT prepare for the most important race of the year. The film crew captured extraordinary insights into the drivers’ psyche and the strategy of how to win the hardest endurance race in the world. They travelled to Guernsey to visit the three-times World Touring Car Champion Andy Priaulx on his fishingboat, made some delicious pasta with Dirk Adorf while he reasoned about the race and jumped into the pool of Monaco´s harbour with Jörg Müller. [...]

Darn. Tim invited me to visit their film premiere of "24hours. One Team. One Target". But I haven't had the time because I was attending an other event. Tim — I absolutely need one of your DVDs!
