Nathaniel Gray: January 2011
http://nathanielgray.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 30, 2011. Bye Bye Portland, Hello Snow. Sitting in the airport at PDX with an hour to kill until boarding. It turns out that this is the only airport I've been to yet that has free WiFi. I love it already. Good times had in Portland. Saw Duke off to whatever antics await him in Rip City. Got to see Zach's band, Archeology. Open for Kay Kay and the Weathered Underground. Monday, January 24, 2011. Westward Ho, Day 2, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, and Cheyenne, Wyoming. From there it's been pret...

Green Laker: December 2012
http://blog.greenlaker.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 23, 2012. Down On The Street. Spotted in Rancho Santa Fe during a little Saturday morning road ride was this Italian gem:. It's a 1960 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Speciale in impeccable condition, still sporting Roma license plates:. While the front end and front wheel arches are lovely, my favorite part of this specimen is the fastback rear light and how it effortlessly blends in to the decklid:. Nicely recessed back panel too. And found on the rear decklid were these badges:. Preventio...

Green Laker: Down On The Street
http://blog.greenlaker.com/2012/11/down-on-street.html
Monday, November 5, 2012. Down On The Street. What I think is a genuine Porsche Speedster. It's always difficult to tell with these, as they are frequently reproduced on shortened VW Beetle chassis. And why not - they're quite similar under the bathtub body. And with a VW repop, you get most of the experience for a fraction of the cost. And you won't cry as much if somebody dings it up. This is the part that leads me to believe that it's a real-deal Speedster:. Down on the Street. View my complete profile.

Green Laker: July 2012
http://blog.greenlaker.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 30, 2012. Miata Mods - New Suspenders. With 105k miles over the course of 21 years, the Miata's stock shocks were more than tired. Not quite as gone as the ones were on the on the previous red Miata, but bad enough that the car wasn't handling nearly as well as a Miata should. I wanted it slightly lower, but not too low that the lower edge of the front bumper would scrape on the driveway. Or the many speed bumps in our neighborhood. Rear, the purple thing is the new travel-increasing top hat.

Green Laker: BMW Museum, Pt. II
http://blog.greenlaker.com/2012/10/bmw-museum-pt-ii.html
Tuesday, October 23, 2012. BMW Museum, Pt. II. It was the bikes. Now onto the cars (mostly). In van configuration, only two seats and a cargo area. This example did duty as the BMW plant's customer service vehicle. Passenger version, basically an Austin Seven, manufactured under license:. Spare wheel, drilled for lightness. This example was built to compete in the 1939 24 Hours of LeMans. The car won the two liter class and was an overall winner of the 1940 Mille Miglia. Yet another 1939 328:. E28 M5, a ...

Green Laker: May 2012
http://blog.greenlaker.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 28, 2012. Down On The Street. Whenever I ride through the north end of Solana Beach, my eyes always take in the cars sitting on the lot of California Import Auto. I've shot a number of cars in front of this shop and featured them here. Including this crusty VW Bus. And this Renault R8S. Here's another rear-engined Renault that I captured with pixels on Saturday morning. Even cooler than the R8S is this Alpine A110, semi-obscured by a wind-blown car cover. With great vent scoops:. Metallic pai...

Saturday, December 31, 2011. Favorite Records of 2011. Overall I have to say that 2011 was a far better-than-average year for music releases. At least for the bands that I am drawn to. Following up their splendid 2008 debut Fleet Foxes. Standout track: Grown Ocean, the album's closer:. Atlas Sound - Parallax. The side project of Bradford Cox of Deerhunter, whose Halcyon Digest was my favorite record of 2010. Standout track: Te Amo. The Black Keys - El Camino. Bon Iver - Bon Iver, Bon Iver. I shouldn't re...

Green Laker: November 2012
http://blog.greenlaker.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 12, 2012. Rainbow Village, Taichung. A series of quick shots snapped in Taichung this afternoon when I had the cab driver take a slight detour when traveling back to my hotel. Sorry about the shitty nature of the photos - poor light iPhone rushed as I had the cab driver waiting as there was no way that I'd be able to hail a cab from this place. Monday, November 5, 2012. Down On The Street. What I think is a genuine Porsche Speedster. Real or repop, I'd happily place this in the garage.
