Event Coverage MFS Road Trip to AUSTIN!! My LSRU Story...

My favorite time of the year is the Round Up time... Austin is my home away from home and I was ready to hang with my Austin Family!!

Well as many of the Round Up stories started out leaving at the **** crack of dawn... the sun rise was amazing.. I had packed up myself with Merch and All my camera gear and headed out on the first leg of my 1500 + miles of road..by my self..




Colorado River



Texas



After 24 hours of driving I finally made it Day 1 of a week stay in Austin!


So The shop was alive the day before the chaos everyone was busting *** to get the 32 done and
get all the merch ready...


ROCCO!!!

Luke looks creepy in this photo.. the cross..

GAMBINO!!!

 

So after a while we decided to hop into Luke's (Dirty Mike) Van and get a little partying in and made our way to Congress before the madness that was about to happen in a few days..



This is going to be the cover of our new rap group that Paul and I are starting the album is called ghetto bird!!!

The next day was the Open house at the shop..






Bo wanted to visit too

 

The next day was the show... I was at the booth most of the time so I didn't shoot any photos
but heres the booth Had fun with my buddys Lucky and Joe (even tho he pranked me)

I was able to shoot one photo...

El Rod got a GoPro too so we decided to shoot each other .... so gay.. Hot Rod Ron in there too.. sounds like a bad gay ****... El Rod and Hot Rod Ron hahahahaha


Later we went to see Bob and Mark Play at Trophys..
The aftermath of a Jade Idol set..

 

So now the show is over the *** party ruled!!

One of the things that was planned was to shoot El Toro for MFS so we set it up for Sunday
Morning (Thanks Rocco and Miriam)

Lloyd Harlan is turning 75 this year and has owned and raced the El Toro / 666 Model A since 1959... Great car.. Great Story.. Great Family!!! After the shoot he pulled the car out and did some nice burn outs


After the shoot we headed out the The Salt Lick for some good eating.. I headed up with Bob Sr. in his roadster... perfect weather for a roadster..

After a day of rest Bob Sr. and I did some shooting of his Roadster for MFS.. it was time to do a piece on his roadster witch is one of my favorites and its family of course...


Wednesday came and it was time to say good by to Austin and all my friends and head to Fort Worth to meet up with (Jivin Jer) Jerry and shoot his awesome Jr Conway Clone..
I got there about 9:00 am and spent a few hours filming and hanging out.. Jerry is a great guy and the shoebox rules!


After that I headed out to do a little update on my buddy Mr. Brian B***!!! He's got some awesome stuff at the shop..














The main thing I wanted to shoot the "Texas *******" the roadster is awesome!!! so Brian
decided to head out to the fairgrounds by his shop.. I had no idea how bad *** of a location this was.. it was perfect close to a perfect trip!!!

Thanks Evel, I did wonder how the cruising went around Austin that weekend. Had to be righteous.

 

Thanks... its waaaaay more comfortable..

 

Nothing wrong with Bo Diddly... He just sits funny.. the coolest shop dog!!! and cover boy...

 

Great to see you again if only for a short while. I am finding inspiration watching MF 5.5. I enjoyed seeing the car go from a heap of parts to GLORY all in a few beers and a bowl of popcorn. Makes it look easy & we all know that these damn buggies can try or patience & our wallets. Again, very inspirational. Thanks for that.

p.s....Laura sends her love.

 

I heart evil even though he smells funny. See ya at LA roadster show and remember what we talked about for the next film. Those go pro camera rule and next on my list to have after seeing you two with them.

 

Good to see you Mr. Norwell.. I know I will call you... Once I can make some dough i'll come to canada and bug you...

 

Hey great shots Evel. Sounds like you had a good time. Did you happen to get any pictures of that bare metal 49 Cadillac at the A.S.S.?

 

Pranked you???? I super pranked you! 5 1/2 hours yo! Stick that in your pipe and........ Nevermind.

 

Please kontinue. I can't wait for the next MFS Installment.

 

You will get yours.. I have connections ...
