In England we have a festival; you may have heard of it. It’s called the Glastonbury Festival of Performing Arts and it’s pretty much legendary. Typically millions of people vie for the 150,000 available tickets and they all sell out within an hour and a half. Anyway, this post marks the first time I have…

Hoon's Day Out: LeMay America's Car Museum – La Ferraris
/

comments
In my previous post, I showed you around the parking lot of the LeMay museum in Tacoma, WA. That day, it just happened to be full of Ferraris of different kinds. I also mentioned that, while I appreciate them, I know little about these Italian thoroughbreds; several of you were kind enough to educate me in the comments,…

Hoon's Day Out: LeMay America's Car Museum – Ferrambo

comments
They call it Ferrambo. Here at Hooniverse, we often talk about crazy car mashups, unholy mechanical unions, often in the popular Craigslist Crapshoots. Have any of us ever dreamed of stuffing the engine from a 360 Modena into a 1960 Nash Rambler wagon? Well, dream no more, because I have just such an example for you…

Hanging With The PBOC Boys At Homestead-Miami Speedway

comments
So, as this olelongrooffan mentioned in my Weekend Edition post, on Friday morning my massive communications system lights up indicating the rare moment when some one actually wants to have a voice to voice chat with me. Turns out it was a dude I sold a racecar trailer to last year while I was still…

comments
Two weekends ago, a few of my good friends and I made a southerly sojourn, about 35 miles south of Seattle, to the Lemay -America’s Car Museum. It’s been around for just a few years, and this was our first trip. One of the largest car museums in the world, it can house up to 350…

Is It Last Call Already?: Lamborghini Weekend Edition: Some of The Lamborghinis Spotted at Amelia Island

Well, this olelongrooffan had originally planned on doing up some posts on my Saturday down at Homestead-Miami Motor Speedway for the PBOC weekend track days with a couple dudes we sold high dollar trailers to last fall and winter. One of those dudes, Casey, called me on Friday from just outside Cape Canaveral while on…

Weekend Edition: MGB Noses Over The Years

comments
After reading UDMan’s post about his experience back in January and his subsequent recovery, pretty much anything posted up will be anti-climatic but the Hooniverse Weekend Edition must carry on. So here goes. As has been previously shared with my fellow Hoons, a few weeks ago, this olelongrooffan stumbled upon a British Car Show a…

As some of you might know, I have been on a quest to travel the length of the Western Hemisphere by land. I just returned from my fifth trip– a bus ride from Guatemala City to Panama’s Darien Gap. For those of you counting at home, I am 88% done with my goal. I hope…

This is a 1973 Fangio Renault Torino Pininfarina…and it's gorgeous

So there this olelongrooffan was hanging out at the all Brit show beachside there in Burt Reynold’s hometown and I stumbled across this Rambler American. Wait! What? No my fellow Hoons, this is no mere mid 60’s Rambler American but instead it’s a crossbreed of a Rambler, Renault, and Pininfarina design all mashed together and…

Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach: A Trio Of MOPAR Land Yachts For Your Enjoyment
/

comments
As this olelongrooffan pointed out on Wagon Wednesday, the Barrett-Jackson boys brought out a little bit of everything for their Palm Beach festivities. After longroofs, probably some of my favorite cars are the “D-bodies” offered by Chrysler in the late 1950’s and very early 1960’s. It appears that Chrysler didn’t designate their chassis with a…
