General Tire Ad

Wow. It still works. We just found out we are still able to work for dead tree media. Although we hang on the interwebs 24/7.

This is our latest ad we did for General Tire Germany. The ad—photo taken by Dirk "Pixeleye" Behlau during our trip to the General Tire Mint 400 2010—will be published in the german Street Magazine. It promotes our 1972 General Tire International Harvester Scout II as well, which we will bring to the Baja 300 Powerdays. Meet us there!

Dirk Pixeleye Behlau: Kool Fellas, Ltd.

Dirk Behlau, better known as "The Pixeleye", just released his third book: "Kool Fellas. Ltd.". Dirk is a member of our Chromjuwelen family since the early days and we are proud to see that there are some more people out there who love his work as much as we do. It is too bad I haven't had the time to write the prologue so Dirk had to ask Jesse James ...

Leningrad Cowboys Go Mexico

I am green with envy. 2009 Mr. Pixeleye went to Mexico and accompanied the Leningrad Cowboys when they raced the legendary La Carrera Panamericana. Slideshow!

"La cucaracha, la cucaracha,

Ya no puede caminar;

Porque no tiene, porque le falta

Marihuana pa' fumar"
