Split Window

Type in "Split Window" and your search results reveal two of my favourites.

The 1961 VW Bus. "The Kombi" and to a lesser extent the beetle.

And

the 1963 Chevrolet Corvette.

These are two of my favourites.


1.. Kombi.

While my parents owned a Kombi camper, I spent a lot of time sitting up front on a 20L paint drum between the front seats. Safety? What was that.

A Kombi has a Zero crumple zone. Later, I remember seeing one that had been in an accident and thinking. Wow those people died.


Anyway, I digress. The Ute holds a level of coolness. Sooo classic.

The split window versions hold another level of cool with the opening front and side windows.



DAMN! THATS WHAT I'M TALKIN' 'BOUT.

Or MAYBE THAT! YO! MF!

But don't get carried away.

2. The Vette!

The style is amazing, so much going on but it works. 1/2 bumpers, half windows, half deep front and rear.
Revolving lights and double cookers at the rear. Bulbous and pumped, vented and chromed

Whitewalls and those hub caps. Almost the last car with super bold styling.

There's only one thing better than a Split window Vette. And thats a no window vette with a 454 and huge lake pipes!

YAAAAAAAAAAA! FECK THAT!

Mojito

I love 007!

When I was a kid I liked Roger Moore, But when I look these days, I really was overtaken by Lotus Espirit and space shuttles.
These days I am more critical.

Film: Die Another Day

I'll just have a mojito.


1 shot of light rum
Half a teaspoon of sugar
Juice of half a lime
Sprigs of Mojito Mint

Add all ingredients, fill glass with ice cubes, top up with soda or mineral water, and shake or stir well. Decorate with a sprig of Mojito Mint.

Drift Hop a Reality

Check it out!
 
After Ebisu opened up the curvacious entry to the Minami Course straight. Drift hop has become reality.
 
I thought it would have to take some hydraulics, but it seems a good ramp will do.
