Roger Grago goes for a ride in his newly restored 1973 Porsche 911 with Jeff Zwart at the wheel.

A big thank you goes to Jeff, Terrie and Roger Grago, Mike Sofka, Scott Hendry, Dan Reese, John Esposito, and everyone else for making this possible.

THE RETURN OF ROGER GRAGO’S 911 RS/GT

A special party took place at Scott Hendry’s independent Porsche shop in Anaheim on Saturday. Over 100 people arrived to show their love for Roger Grago. It was simply amazing to see him and his friends celebrate this iconic freshly rebuilt (Hendry) and repainted (Esposito) custom 1973 Aubergine 911. Many people were involved in this labor of love for our dear friend.

With all the car clubs he has led, from DKP to R Gruppe, Roger is the man who made it happen for many of us. Thank you Roger, and thank you to everyone for sharing their stories. Look for an article and documentary film next year. Continue reading “”

This amazing car has a GT3 motor that owner Steve Lau and writer Pete von Behrens drove to top time of the day at the annual autocross. Continue reading “”

The fickle character of this age implies that individuals lose their sense of orientation. While improvising his way through the manifold changes modern man loses every sense of direction.” Continue reading “”

KINGMAN, ARIZONA

Sometimes the unexpected turns out to be the best thing that could happen. Recently I stepped out of my hotel room with a camera for a look at the sunset. There across the street was a gathering of American hot rods at a local drive-in. The 50mm f1.4 lens I had with me was perfect for the evening light, and I went to work. What a magical moment.

JAY MAISEL

Here are a few words of advice from Jay Maisel, a master color photographer with tremendous experience and wisdom:

“If you are not your own severest critic, you’re your own worst enemy. It is so much easier to take pictures if you have the camera with you. Go out empty – to have the real joy of not having something to shoot, to just be free. That’s what motivates me. The chance to look at something – and see something new.” Continue reading “”
