Bike Show, Swap Meet, and Model Kit Exhibition


This past Saturday was Childhood Dreams Car & Bike Club's Bike Show and Swap Meet with a Model Car Hop Off.

When I got there it was full of the finest bikes from all makes, and models. There were even pedal cars, strollers, pull carts, and model kits. Many of Oahu's well renowed clubs were at attendance as well as independent builders. The level of craftsmanship and innovations that the builds had was incredible and the you can really feel a deep appreciation for the amount of work and $$$ that went into the builds. Im not just talking about the bikes either. The pedal cars and strollers were a force to be reckoned and the amount of engineering that went into the model kits as well was mind blowing.

This is the kind of show that I love. You know the ones that different from the "Car Shows". I like all kinds of spices in life and this was one of them. I like to bring out the other aspects of building and shows. This was definitely a show to attend, participate, or just simply admire. Hopefully you will get to see this again next time around and maybe even participate in.

In the mean time, enjoy these flicks and vids of the action. 

Special thanks to: RI Autoworx, Ash, Alan, Childhood Dreams C.C. & B.C., Supremacy C.C. & B.C., Eki Cyclery, The Hobby Company and everyone that attended.

Please comment below and let me know your thoughts on what you want to see, discuss, or want to cover.







Here's a YouTube video and pics of the Model Car Hop Off.

Lifetime Project '82


Meet my very 1st Lowrider and my lifetime project build. I've gotten into so many wild times with her both good and bad. She has a lot of battle scars before I tore her apart. Currently she is in pieces and waiting for me to have the time to put her all together with all her goodies.

I decided to make this little rendering (for lack of a better word) to remind me of where I stopped.  So hopefully I'll get on the wagon and start turning some wrenches once again. 

I do miss going on cruises with her and long coastline rides with her while blastin some of our fave music.

Someday she will roam the streets with her new stunning looks. Until then, only time will tell...

Remember this?



Any of you remember this magazine? If you were, or are into RC Drifting then you knew or should've known about this magazine. I think it was the only magazine that catered specifically to RC Drifting. When I first knew about it I ordered it right away and then when I got mines I couldn't wait for the next issue. I got my next issue and then could not wait for the 3rd one and then the economy tanked and never heard or seen of this magazine again. I do wish that it comes back though because this magazine was our magazine for anyone who RC Drifts. The other magazines just cared about aircrafts, touring, and offroads. I do understand that they gotta cater to which brings in the money but once again they underestimate RC Drifting and the buying power of the RC Drifters. Anyways, I just wanna see this magazine back or someone make another one.

Lamborghini Murcielago - revisited



This was my real working Lambo door RC Drift car painted with a Pistachio Green paint. I dubbed this one my Sideshowin Lambo... There was a video for it but that got deleted. This will be repainted and shot for a new video...(to be continued)
