this car has the Italian flag on it!! I have never seen a flag on a car!
We are so unique that we do not recognize one another.
Siamo così unici che non ci riconosciamo tra di noi.
The Fiat 500 or Fiat Nuova 500 is a city car built by Italian automaker Fiat since 2007. The car is currently produced in Tychy, Poland by Fiat Auto Poland S.A. and in Toluca, Mexico, by Chrysler Group LLC. Strictly a four-seater, three-door hatchback, the 500 is almost identical to the retro concept car Trepiùno presented in 2004. Designer Roberto Giolito's current Fiat 500 is a direct crib from Dante Giacosa's 1957 original rear-engined Fiat 500 or "Cinquecento Nuova".[3]
The car was announced on May 5, 2006,[4] and the first images were presented on March 20, 2007. The car was launched officially on July 4, 2007,[5] with 250,000 people in attendance. This was the largest launch party held in the last ten years, a testament to the Cinquecento Nuova’s huge popularity.[6] The car was displayed in the squares of 30 cities in Italy for the launch.[6]
The 500 is available with four different trim levels: Naked (this version not available in the United Kingdom, opting for this trim level means that the car does not have the seven airbags meaning that the passenger safety rating drops), Pop, Lounge, and Sport. Customers can choose also between 15 interior trims, nine wheel options, 19 decals, and 12 body colours. There are over 500,000 different personalized combinations of the 500 that can be made by adding all kinds of accessories, decals, interior and exterior colours, and trims.[7] The car is also available with the Blue&Me navigation system. The American Sport version has the 1.4 litre Multiair engine, which is manufactured in Michigan, United States.[8]

NOT MY PHOTOGRAPH - Promotional still from Universal Studios
PAUL WALKER as agent Brian O'Conner leans against his 1998 Nissan Skyline GTR in the newest movie of The Fast and The Furious franchise.
Fast R34 for the Furious, By John Pearley Huffman
When it comes to alpha dogs, they don't come more alpha-ier than Nissan's justly legendary Skyline GT-R. And though the new "R35" GT-R may have eclipsed the old R34 in performance, there's something still iconic about how the old R34 looks. Plus it didn't hurt that Paul Walker had driven an R34 in 2 Fast 2 Furious, so it was easy to bring it back.
But that didn't mean there was a large supply of R34s that picture car coordinator Dennis McCarthy could just pull out of some warehouse. And in order to save some hassle, what they really wanted wasn't all-wheel-drive GT-Rs at all.
Instead the production sought out and bought appropriate vintage (1998-2002) Skyline GT-S models, which used the same basic body shell as the GT-R, but are rear-wheel drive and normally aspirated. Not only was it cheaper than buying GT-Rs, but it also saved the mechanics the hassle of disconnecting the front driveshafts so stunt drivers could drift the cars effectively and do a big standing burnout before the big street race.
Of course the cars were dressed up to look like turbocharged GT-Rs, but in reality, they remained without turbochargers and all-wheel drive.
The production bought a total of six Skylines to portray FBI agent Brian O'Connor's most significant ride. And it built a fiberglass replica shell of the R34 that was mounted to a dune buggy chassis for some off-road scenes. Of six real Skylines, three were sold as parts cars, two were destroyed and one was saved for any potential sequels. And of course there are going to be sequels.

My Nissan Skyline GT-T R32 vs slightly modded Dom’s Dodge Charger. This would be the last update to the R32. About the Dodge, there’s not much to modify this set as it was very well designed and fairly accurate, just added few touches to make it more realistic (detailed interior, mirror, wipers, fuel cap, antenna, black front grill).

I've been on a Fast & Furious kick lately so I built one of the most famous cars from the series (Brian's from the original) and one of the most divisive (Roman's from #2). I had a lot of fun building these and I hope you do to!

Been Busy and Offline for a while and haven't been doing any photography but I should have some more shots in next couple of weeks. Will slowly get back to checking everyone's stream out again.
Taxi Ride. This one is from the Back of Taxi ofcourse, two shots(no tripod), one 1 sec and the other 1/6 sec and blended them together and then applied Nik Software Polaroid Transfer effect.
After completely redesigning this MOC when I shrunk it down to 6 studs wide, I realized I there were some improvements to be made on this larger 8 stud version. I carried over many of the techniques I used on the smaller version to this one to create a more movie accurate version. On top of that, the amazing MattsBrickMOCs created some awesome decals for the model!

Sometimes, it´s a bit like this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9Cq9nThaNs
A lesson that people have learned is to never, ever, steal my parking spot outside the office.
Well, it´s not a parking spot, really, but I still park there.
But she likes it.
That´s the most important.
Seen at the beginning of Fast and Furious 4 during the spectacular fuel heist, I give you the 1967 Chevy truck. Of course a stock pickup can't lug a tanker so this truck has been outfitted with a semi truck rear axle and a burly diesel engine. Built for the LUGNuts challenge "Plus or Minus 10."
