Saw this today - Takashi Murakami has created a new animation to celebrate his years of collaboration with Louis Vuitton. Very nice indeed:


Here's the original animation from a few years ago too:

Full story/article here, - the site is a bit not work-safe mind ;)

insurance update... Yey!

Quick update on the insurance situation. After a stressful week of arguing with the insurance company and the assessing engineers, we're really happy with the outcome - the beat will ride again!!
Thanks to the help of our friends in the club/kkitp and the guys at the bodyshop we were able to prove the cars correct value which put it over the repair threshold which was great. The engineer was actually very understanding about everything and was very patient with us while we put everything together for him.
The repairs have now been approved and the ordering of bits can start. Parts will probably take most of the summer to arrive which is a bit sad but its a hell of a lot better than having to scrap the little chap.
Hoorah!!

High Kick Girl! trailer...

Rising Sun Show Pt 2...

Amongst the hordes of impretzas and evos (yawn) at the RSS there were some great curiosities and nice things:

Rising Sun Car Show, Lincoln Showground

We met up with our friend Beardo, Mrs Beardo and the mini-Beardos somewhere between Doncaster and Lincoln in the early hours of this morning, and then drove down to meet up with a bunch of the likely characters from KKITP at the Rising Sun Car Show.


It was brill to see everyone and great to catch up/swap stories before the KKITP meet in Sept. The mix of Cappos, Beats and Don's AZ-1 certainly generated a lot of curiosity and interest amongst the passing subaru/evo-nuts. Here's some pics from the Club Cappo/KKITP area:











Andy's totally ill, fresh and JDM-Yo Rilakuma install...

100% complete

having found a rear badge I plonked the front one back on as well - the final piece of the puzzle... this is my new fav picture of the car as well.

THANKYOU EMILY!!!

Emily from KKITP very kindly let me have her old rear-honda badge after I 'misplaced' ours. Thankyou em, I owe you one! :D
