Smokin Shutdown magazine??

While at Starbirds last weekend, I bought three magazines that I've never heard of before. I found a magazine from Germany called "Smokin Shutdown." The Cool stuff booth http://www.coolstuffvideos.com/ had three issues so I had to buy them. The magazine is printed on the same kind of paper (weight) as Hop Up Mag, 130 pages and way too kool. Kustoms, Hot Rods and classy pin ups, how could it be bad.....

Just a heads up on a kool magazine.

Happy Trails,

Mick

 

Did you get # 16? Some really good stuff in that one.

 

Yes, I was reading #16 last night. Also bought #11 & #14.

Eventually I would be interested in buying some of the other back issues.

Happy Trails,

#13 is good too!

I just got a few issues of this magazine, it's a good one for sure.

Anybody seen any of their DVDs? I might have to try and get a hold of those too...

 

I especially like the ones with a DVD.

Never have seen one, Any info on how to get-um?

 

i îf you like to get any smokinshutdown astuff send me a e-mail , the publisher is a close friend of me.

 

Pretty cool mag, has been around for a few years, it's from Germany, a bit pricey but good.

 

in case you havnt tried 'em,some other europeanmags are powerglide (french i think) and gasoline,which is scandinavian (a friend in norways sends me mine!).....worth a look..

 

Thom, Tina and Bud are good folks. They're also dedicated to hot rodding and make routine trips around the US participating and covering events. It shows in the mag.

Their magazine is amongst the best, and they have several cool Bonneville and hot rod projects in the works as well.

I found some on Ebay and it looks like they're from Gambino Kustom.
I bought mine from John at Cool Stuff, he is a HAMBer.

Nice to know... The Magazine is so kool I thought that it had to have a HAMB following. I guess that I was just out of the kool loop. Tell them that they are doing a great job. Love how the magazine articles are written in English and German . One of these days I'll be able to speak German. LOL!!

Happy Trails,

Mick

 

The editor/publisher is a Road Devil & also the guy that owns the Graham that Johnny at Kool Cat Kustoms is building.

 

As Scott Noteboom said, Thom, Tina and Bud are great people. They travel around California for 3 months every year and hit as many events as they can, then they write articles about these events and they also do articles on Car Clubs, Pinup's, artist's and shop's. They publish a high quality magazine which is sold internationally.
I'm building a 1934 Graham coupe for Thom right now, I've posted some pic's of it here on the HAMB. And after that I'll be building a 1937 LaSalle coupe for Bud, who is Thom's partner.
You can order the latest Issue #16 from my website, if you're looking to get one, Plus I'll be the first to have the Smokin' Special which will be available at the end of february. I'll also be the first to have the next Issue #17 available, which should be availabe in aabout a month and a half. Just check out my web site for more info.

Thom plans to be back in Cali. at the end of Mai so that he can hit Santa Maria with his "new" Graham.

 

hey guys thanx for all the praise !!!! yes we are very nice people, hehe !!!!
and we still try hard to maintain our high quality standards regarding, paper, pics, stories, projects etc - and that makes it pricy.
like johnny said. you can get us at his homepage.
but also in the middle west at coolstuff, john wells.
our friend from switzerland deniz is doing a great job too
but did I mention our own homepage ? ;-))
check out www.smokinshutdown.com

So, stay tuned and look forward for #17 about berlin/ germany and all the cool stuff that´s going on here. I bet you´ll like it !

is it printed in english? or kraut? i can only speak american and cajun french and im barely functional at either

 

The three that I bought were printed in both languages. The articles will have both translations running side by side. Very Kool idea. I bought magazine the other day and I could not read it. Pictures are worth 1,000 words but miss reading the background information.

Happy Trails,

Mick

 

well actually we are working out a way to get it translated in french cajun, zuaheli, samoan, and a very rare transilvanian dialect known as grumpeldingola ;-))

 

very cool , as long as i got pictures to look at im good .. my neice got me a couple mags from japan a few years ago , i couldnt read those either but the pics were awsome ..

 

its one of my favorite magazines.

 

Yeah, it's the only magazine that I know of that is printed in two languages. It's especially nice for guys like me that speak german & english! I get to read it twice!

 

#13,baby....#13.....

hey guys,
we are proud to tell you that special # 17 will be availible by the end of feb.
this will be a special issue and since it contains just 60 pages ( instead of regulary 132) it will be cheaper. so, you better don´t miss it !!!!!
;-))

 

for me it is my free english school too. i read it first in english and the words i dont understand i search in the german part, and then you guys have to handle the shit i guess i learned

 

don´t worry, deniz ! we are working on a switzerduetsch version too !!!! ;-))
grüazy !

 

I have one of the DVDs, can't remember which one at the moment. It's pretty good , especially for European scene coverage. There's very little i dialogue but they show a lot of cars.

 

if the DVD came with a booklet that would be the last one, jan 07. if its without a booklet these are quite a bit older, #9 or #10.
and we skipped the dialog for more cars ;-))

 

Hi 7/11 everything well with you ? are u in the states or germany ?By the way , do we see us at the surfin chrome spectacle ???

 

still in germany - but only until tuesday. then off to panama. need some beach, beer & chicken ;-))
