Red Hot Max in person

Forty years with the 1956 Pontiac

SWEDEN. Anders "Billa" Billström from Harnosand was fifteen when he rented a tow company to haul the dinged Pontiac four hundred yards through the forest. The year was 1975 and everyone shook their heads at the young moped rider. Six years later, he won the prize with it, and forty years later he still shifts his Pathfinder with the three on the tree. by Lars Krantz.

Oracle Thord Gräntz

There are handymen, good mechanics, formidable ace and superiors. Wizards are those who have knowledge bordering  to the impossible. So we have the oracles. All are competing on the same track - except oracles. Oracles floats freely over all in vapors of organic symbiosis with materials and mechanics where everything is simple certainties.  by Lars Krantz.

The first car. Part 1 The drivers license

Most remember their first car. Me too. Many other people my age began with an old Volvo Amazon, but I wanted something else. The 18th birthday came and went without I took driver's license or acquired car. I was fully occupied with being a punk who would rather drink beer and boose in the back of other people's cars. Seen in retrospect, I wasted away many years unnecessarily.  by Anders Hjelm.
