I'm A Dreamer

I think i'm the dreamer to end all dreamers. W.C.Z. reporter Cam sent me these photos of old drag cars from days gone by. Obviously American based, but the type of photos that get my twisted thoughts going.
Henry Ford himself said a man can only be judged on his actions alone not the thoughts and intentions in his head. And we all know now that history became a true indication of his actions, and sadly as time goes by, history is dealing me, and us all the same fate, and in my case i haven't faired as well.
So with that in mind i can only say what i do or have done, and for now i'll just say nothing and enjoy the pictures and admire the men who put there thoughts into reality, and didn't just sit around dreaming abut them.
There was some running commentary to the photos but i couldn't figure out how to link it all together so i'll just add some of my own.
Anyways thanks Cam. Here at W.C.Z. submissions are always welcome.

Three bloody wheels and a wheel base short enough to make this one scary ride. I call it the Meschersmidt Three Wheeler Death Facilitator.
Oh man i know smeones going to correct me and prove me well wrong, but i think the jet powered car was built by Art Afrons,(famous for landspeed racing post war) and from memory it crashed and killed a spectator and Art never raced another car again, from being so shaken from the accident.
A rock was used as a weight for the front wheels. Imagine if it came off?

4 wheel drive Just like them Subaru's the youngsters are all talkin about. Only you need a dick bigger than 10 inches to drive it.

Its air born

This guy likes his motors like he likes his ladies in bed. Two at a time.

I wanna work here. Which reminds me that its Sunday night and i hate my job more every day.

All business

Its just a big bloody go-kart.

An aerodynamic brick

Tough match up, all though i think this is the pre-race burnout cause you can just see a little wisp of smoke from the go-karts tyres.................................. not really, maybe someone can photo shop some in. I think that starter was what the idea for the logo on those Air Jordan shoes came from.

The blowers bigger than the motor.

New Greasy Kulture Mag

Just got word the new Greasy Kulture mag has arrived, and i'm as shocked as anyone that yours truly is featured. Do yourself a favour and buy the new Greasy Kulture mag to see my handsome mug plastered on the pages. More soon!!!! http://www.greasykulture.blogspot.com

O.G.

I think people either love em' or hate em'

Valiant Update

Its been a while since the last post, and for good reason.
The motor and box are finally sitting in the engine bay with the helping hand of a mate and the 'final' coats of paint were applied, all with no shortage of arse ache.
The body work on this car has battled me the whole time. I'm no panel and paint enthusiast by any means. I come from a mechanical side of thinking, and whilst I enjoy shaping metal and repairing rust and the like, its all the sanding and paint prep side of things that become an evil necessity i endure to get the car done.............and it shows.
I would like to say the paint looks passable, but i had a little problem with my million dollar paint gun i.e. the guy on the other end of it, and as a result i didn't get enough coats of paint on that i would have liked before i wasted all my paint solving my problems. I recon i'll just get another couple of litres during the week and spray a few more coats on next weekend whilst i tackle the rest of the mechanicals during the week.
Oh well i guess if it was all easy everyone would be driving around in restored Valiants. Right?

Tram Spotting

Not sure if regular WCZ followers will like these, but my boss at work emailed me some photo's of Brisbane trams that he had.
Someone in his family was obviously a tram spotter, and i'm guessing by the cars in the background it must have been around the time of the late 60's early 70's.

Greazefest - The Bikes

The following pics are whatever caught my eye at Greazefest. Probably the best year so far in terms of cars. Good day out. I just wish i'd done a second lap before most of the cars had left. Anyways enjoy my shitty pics. Loz's bike won a prize for best bike.

The Customs

The Rods

Last years best rod winner.

This bare metal 32' was my pic. Nicely chanelled and using the same motor i have awaiting my 31' build.

More Brains Drained

Enlarge these photos to give an idea of how rad it really was.

Greazefest

Who's this gronk?
What a weekend. Greazefest was the icing on the cake.
More soon.

Brain Drain

Such a rad little shin dig. This drain must have been built by council workers who skate because it was just too well built with a super sweet hip.
Dudes were ripping, dudes were sucking but the vibe was cool for everyone who rolled and everyone who just came out to support the good times.
Jay even gave a few 138 boards away for best skater and best trick.
One of the best sessions of all time. So stoked to have been there!

Jay ruling! The man behind 138
