Anthony Sundell's MK3 VR

     Anthony Sundell is no stranger when it comes to sporting beautiful cars. Among the previous ones, this is his first Volkswagen. And it's not too shabby at that. Anthony has been pretty low key and modest about his blacked out MK3, but the statement the car makes it otherwise. At first glance inside you may not even notice the MK4 dash/interior swap since it's so cleanly done. Hopefully he holds onto this one and has some good things in store for 2011.

Columbus is On a Muthafuckin Boat!

Yeah Trevor!

My First H2Oi

So this year I got the chance to hit up H2O in Ocean City, Maryland. It was my first major Volkswagen show, and first one on the east coast. And even though I was blown away by all the awesomeness, I still managed to film a bit. Although I didn't bring all my gear, and the stuff I did bring I forgot back in the hotel room. So the edit was show all hand held. Although being there, my mindset wasn't too much on filming. I just wanted to experience the event and take it all in.
The strip and weekend was what made the long haul worthwhile. Although the show was a nice turnout, it doesn't compare to the ruckus of the strip. The best part about H2O is everyone is staying pretty much in a 100 block radius. Unlike most shows people are branched off at hotels miles apart from one another.
Anyway, here is a little bit of what I did film. I winged it, threw in some females to hold your attention. Enjoy.

Popular Demand Video for 2011?

      The more I log on to my computer everyday and browse through two minute web edits, it makes me realize something. I kinda want to take things a different route. I always hate sitting on footage, but this time I'm thinking the end result could be worthwhile. I have an insight for where this video will go and how it will be based. I imagine around a 20-30 minute run time. I would rather not go into detail on my plans or goals, but rather make a thought reality. So throughout 2011 my goal is to view things through the camera lens more than through my own spectacles.
     I'll try to release more information about this at a later date. However this does not mean I do not plan to make an occasional web edit short for things.

Holler!

WEEEEE iz BACK!!!

Sorry about not posting in forever. School is definitely keeping me super busy. Since I was gone for so long, I decided to make a killer come back post, and I've just the right car for the job.

I've been keeping up with this car build for a while now. Greg's supra is definitely a ground up build that is done in all the right ways with all the right parts! But don't think for a second that this owner is a stuck up by the awesome-ness of his whip. Greg is one of the nicest guys that I've had the opportunity to get to know, and if there is ever anything car related that you have an issue with, he's there to help you.

Alright enough with the talk, I'll let the mod list and the pictures do the rest of the talking.

     Let's be honest, when was the last time you seen a dialed car and thought of it being a girls? And even if the man is riding shotgun, strangers will still generally approach the man first about the car. Well the Andreas say screw that. Along with sharing the same first name, they also share the fact that they both have amazing Volkswagens.
     Andrea Toro's MKIV is proof that sometimes all a car really needs is a nice drop and wheels to look amazing. I enjoy four door love, and then add what's notably the best looking wheel of all time. You got a bag full of win!
     Then there is Andrea Shell. Her Passat is prestige. shaved grill, Votex kit, Bentley wheels, and Bagyard air suspension. It really doesn't get any better than that. The only thing dirty about the car is the black smoke from the TDI engine powering this jewel on wheels.

It's Peanut Butter jelly Time!

     Doing your own work to your car is always an awesome feeling. And when it comes to Luke Shell's Passat, he defintiy isn't afraid to get his hands dirty. Luke's car has seen many phases lately. Which include some of the pictures posted below. And now another. He's currently undergoing a full peanut butter interior swap, a change in wheels, and more. Be on the look out for big things coming from Luke. Also be aware of a full video feature of his B4 Passat coming soon!
