Volszatff Shmirnoff's lifelong dream was to own a 1964 Minor Mini. (Volsztaff has a low-threshold on aspirational wishes.) Not surprisingly, he couldn't fit into a standard Minor Mini. So, he had one modified to meet his dimensions, proving once again that necessity is indeed the mother of invention. This aftermarket car construct leaks rain at the weld seams.
The blurb on the car in front of this car :-
"This 1935 Sir William Lyons designed car has been enhanced with improved performance and handling by SS Engineering in 2008. The engine has been enlarged to 4.25 litres to fast road specification which doubles the horse power of the earlier cars.To balance with this disc brakes have been added pioneered by Jaguar at Le Mans in the 1950's. With independent suspension, rack and pinion steering and Blockley high performance tyres this revised SS100 has evolved for the 21st century."
Quite some car isn't it? Love the colour.
This cleverly customized Volkswagen Beetle, spotted in Colorado, has been transformed into a utilitarian pickup-style work vehicle. With its distinctive front end, retro beige paint, and a roof rack carrying ladders, this Beetle blends vintage charm with practical ingenuity. The custom rear bed—painted in bold magenta and equipped for hauling—makes this a standout example of creative automotive repurposing. A rare sight that turns heads and proves that with a little imagination, even a Bug can become a beast of burden.
A nightshoot of this highly modified VW Golf, I wanted to catch passing lightrails to add action to the shot.
Have you ever seen a car with Bike Handlebars for a stearing wheel? I bet not, well here is one. A Vw Lupo, that has had the stearing wheel replaced with Handlebars, Along with being lowered, having a comic book interior with fully retrimmed leather seats. The engine is wrapped in barbed wire, The boot has a sub woofer in with childrens ball pit balls. It has so much more I can't remember, every time I looked at it I saw something new, the Lupo badge is childrens fridge magnets. Vinyl Wrap on the front. and again so much more!
Magic Doors this time!
So much more to come from this car, it was a pleasure to shoot.
Enjoy!
In my opinion if the driver is really a MACHO he'd better should keep his car clean and tidy. But he's actually sitting pretty much like a MACHO behind the wheel.
Ford Popular 103E (1954-59) Engine 1172 S4 SV

When production of the older Ford Anglia and Ford Prefect was stopped in 1953 in favour of there more modern (and more expensive) 100E versions, the Popular was introduced as alternative, based on the old, pre-war style E494A Anglia which in turn could trace its lineage back to the Model Y of 1932.
It was powered by a Ford Side valve 1172 cc, 30 bhp, and was very basic with a single vacuum powered wiper, no heater, vinyl trim, and very little chrome; even the bumpers were painted, and the bakelite dash of the Anglia was replaced by a flat steel panel. The Popular 103E differed visually from the Anglia E494E in having smaller headlights and a lack of trim on the side of the bonnet.[ electrics were 6 volt, braking was by rod operated drum brakes and the three speed gearbox had syncromesh on only the top two ratios. Early Popular's also had the single centrally mounted tail/stop-lamp of the Anglia, but this changed to a two tail/stop lamp set up with the lamps mounted on the mudguards and a separate number plate lamp
Never the less 155,340 were produced. Owing much of its success to the fact that the price suited many newer motorists, and in the immediate Post War economy there were very few similarly priced better equipped clean second hand car available, due to the cessation of private car production during the hostilities
Price when new in 1954 was £275 plus purchase tax at £ 115 14 shillings and 2 pence, totaling £ 390 14 shillings and 2 pence, the Popular was Britain's lowest priced car

Taken @ the Cali Love NYC event.
I have a bunch of photos to dump from this event & I wish there was a way to post multiple shots in one post similar to Instagram. Maybe there is but I haven't seen it.
The engine of a Renault 5, modified with ITBs to produce more power, better response and glorious noise. Unfortunately, I do not remember the exact model of the car. Shot at a local retro car event.

If you go by the registration plate then this car is from the 1940s, although the bodywork says that this Austin V8 has had a few modifications since then.....
For a pending feature. Shot at the Port of Long Beach, CA.
