“Exit Through The Gift Shop”

I watched this a while ago, but was for some reason reminded of it today when i saw an article about Banksy. Most people have seen Banksy’s work somewhere at some time either in person or online or on a record cover…and didn’t even know it. Whatever you think of him, he is definitely iconic! This documentary is less about Banksy, and more about the scene around him and prominently the french guy who tried to make a documentary about Banksy! ha.

90 minutes well spent watching this though! HIGHLY recommended!

if i owned a Renault 5 Turbo…

or an Alpine—–I would definitely want this entourage of hyperactive french mechanics following me around, waiting for something to happen!

Eating twisties.

This is just some unbelievable driving. Reflexes as smooth as velvet and balls of steel.

The driver is Marcel Steiner and he is driving an Osella FA 30 Zytek V8 3.0 (whatever that is!)

M4.

This new BMW M4 Concept is the business. A beautiful colour named ‘Aurum Dust’ (what a name!) and some of the most aggressive styling i’ve seen out of a german car in recent memory. Thank you BMW—–for keeping the insanity. I am loving some of the details here…
