Grand Prix Raggarbil 2017

It took me a few days to go through the photos I took at the big greaser meet, Grand Prix Raggarbil, (it means Greaser car). I have uploaded around 200 of them now. All shot with the Canon 6D using two of my new Chinese lenses, mostly the 100mm. So enjoy the slideshow. And as per usual, if you can't see the photos Press Here to see them at flickr.

Faces You Will Notice

A few more faces from the big greaser meet. For every year at this event (this was my tenth year), I see more and more face tattoos. That is a long time commitment.

Details

The Death Proof Duck. The Ritterkreuz. A miniature car. Lots of interesting details worth an extra look at the big greaser meet.

Impressive head tattoo

Wow. That had to be a few painful sittings at the tattoo parlour. As seen during the big greaser meet, Grand Prix Raggarbil at the famous, first ever drive-in restaurant in Sweden, the Vegabaren in Handen. I still have a lot of photos to go through from that event.

Two Portraits

A couple of portraits from the big greaser meet. I tried and succeeded to take a few candid portraits of these photogenic "raggare" before the noticed me. and when they did see me I took a few more and here are two of those photos.

Rat Rides With a Difference

These old rat rides are known as råttsoffor, (rat couches), or pilsnerbilar (beer rides), in Swedish. They are very popular with the younger raggare, (greasers), and with photographers. There's always a few contests at this meet. One category is for best Rat Ride. These were some of my favorites in that category.

No Regrets

This is a Swedish subculture with a difference. Some people live it 24/7, and this guy is one of them. Met him at Vegabaren yesterday during the annual Grand Prix Raggarbil event. It was a great Summer day, everyone was happy and I came home with more than 700 photos of cars and people.

Greaser Girl

I visited the annual Greaser Meet at Vegabaren in Handen today. The Grand Prix Raggarbil 2017. It was a fantastic Summer day. The famous drive-in was packed with classic cars and fun people. I was there for around four hours. Filled one 16 GB memory card,that took just over 700 photos, so I have a lot of editing to do now. This was the first portrait I took. Many people dress up for this event and this girl was one of those people, looking great as a Grease Girl from way back when.Expect a lot of photos from this fun event in the coming week or so.
