Revisiting the ETV

After seeing this amazing car at Checkers last Thursday and posting a few photos here, I have it's creator's approval to release some info about it.


Mike Vetter produces these beauties at The Car Factory in Micco Florida just down the road from me.

Here are a couple of videos of the car












If interested please do give Mike a call. I'm sure he'd be happy to build one for you.


By the way, you can find Mike at Old Town (Kissimmee) next Saturday under the clock tower

Shuttle Launch

I Blew it, I had what should have been a spectacular shot of the Shuttle launch but I lost it.

I was taking a time lapse photo and while I was trying to end the exposure, I accidently moved the battery door on my camera and lost power before the image was saved to memory.

It was gone.

The photo below is about 3 minutes into the flight as it heads north up the coast.

The photo I should be posting of the first 3 minutes would have lots of bright flame with a brilliant orange glow in the sky that lights up the whole river like the shot below that I did not take.


The shuttle lifted off in the bottom left corner of the frame went close to the top of the frame then arched down as it flew north away from me into the horizon.

Oh well, maybe next time.

Is it a car? Does it fly? Can I have one?

Anyone living around Sebastian Florida probably knows that car enthusiasts gather to show and admire all their classic cars at Checkers on Thursday nights.

Last night, as I passed by Checkers slowly checking out some cool cars and saw this vehicle and just had to stop and check it out closer.








I talked briefly to the creator of this work of art and got his card (in case someone wants him to build one for them.)

WHAT THE . . . . . .

Whoa . . . What was that?


A race car flying up US 1


I saw him coming up very quickly from behind me as I was entering the left turn lane, he passed so fast that these are the best shots I could get even though I was stopped and my camera was right beside me.
