There's nothing better than the smell of burning rubber. At least that was the opinion of many of the raggare at the cruiser meet last Saturday at the famous Vegabaren. During my visit the air filled with burning rubber every ten minutes or so. Some of the visiting cars had travelled a long way to get here and celebrated in style when they arrived. Some of them even produced a pink smoke cloud! Every year you can vote for the worst cruiser car at the meet. To enter the contest you must show that the car has passed the compulsory periodic inspection done by the Swedish Motor Vehicle Inspection Company. And believe it or not, both these vehicles with the resting raggare on the car hoods has been here for the last couple of years. And has obviously passed that test!
It's a guy thing.
ReplyDeleteMust be a multiple choice test.
ReplyDeletecool.....that doll on the grill is very creative....thanks for sharing...
ReplyDeleteLike nothing I've seen ever before! The top foto with the lineup of guys looks like a scene out of the musical, "West Side Story." You really do a great job of capturing the feel of the event!
ReplyDeleteSteffe, these are brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.
ReplyDeleteSteffe, what a great set of images. I particularly loved the first one.I can almost feel the excitement.
ReplyDeleteImpressive shots!
ReplyDeleteThat first shot is amazing!
ReplyDeleteThese photos are some of the best ever. The crowd scene with smoke is terrific. Your cruising events with cars and the unusual participants make for great photographs. Keep shooting them. Nice posts!!
ReplyDeleteThese guys really get into it don't they? The cars, the clothes, everything. I second the "West Side Story" comment from Leif.
ReplyDeleteSteffe, these are really outstanding pictures with interesting people and incredible cars!
ReplyDeleteBut how the did the pink smoke?
Thanks all. I have more photos if anyome is interested...
ReplyDeleteSpot on John.
I'm no burnout expert, but I guess it involves some added pigmentation. Have a look at the third photo in this forum thread.
Here is a better look at that doll Amit.
These are great, esp the top one Steffe.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool picture of silly people - cell phone cams and smoke.
ReplyDeleteGoodnight, this looks like a decadent festival - both in terms of autos and humans!
ReplyDeleteRather funny, actually.
Wow this is so cool..I have really not seen such stuff before..Thanks for sharing..Unseen Rajasthan

ReplyDeleteSteffe, these three are brilliant. The smell of the rubber and your other two shots of everyone lazing about - you really capture the atmosphere and bring us into the photos.
