    So it was a couple weekends ago this olelongrooffan was up at JetBlue Park in the City of Palms checking out the Eurotripper European Car Show. As I mentioned previously, there was large contingency of VDubs, both air and water cooled, but they were not the only Eurocars to show up that day. One of…

    So recently, at the encouragement of a Bahamas cruise ship bound friend TheKenMan, this olelongrooffan ventured north to check out some action at the Eurotripper European Car Show at Jet Blue Park there in the town that is home to the Henry Ford Estate. There were some pretty cool vehicles to be seen, the bulk…

    Recently this olelongrooffan was headed up to catch a VDub show in the next burg up on State Road 93 when I spotted this Mini Monster Truck on the rear of this flatbed in the utility area of the Germain Arena. Well, as Vdubs were on my mind, I decided to pack this bit of…

    So the other day this olelongrooffan was heading back to my new pad, the loft, and a cool old street rod was parked outside a nearly ubiquitous real estate office and I thought it would be a perfect Long Shot to share with my fellow Hoons. Now while this ole Bowtie is no longer a…

    Way back at the time this olelongrooffan first started writing up this Long Shots series (thanks again to CptSevere), I commented how it often times felt that I would spot one car and it would remind me of another and then another. Well, back then it was usually big Detroit steel spotted in and around…

    This olelongrooffan doesn’t believe it needs to be reiterated that most of the time when attending a car related event the stuff seen In The Lot can be as cool as what can be seen at the show itself. I know that several of my fellow Hooniverse contributors believe that same thing. So this past…

    Please excuse this wandering all over, rambling on about nothing kind of post but if my fellow Hoons are interested, it is kind of tied together should you choose to hang around for it. So this olelongrooffan has been a total slacker of late round there here parts. It’s not that I haven’t been doing…

    Now this olelongrooffan has lately been somewhat remiss at keeping up my end of having possession of the keys to the vault that is Hooniverse. Well, I intend to change that up thanks to the esteemed Mr. Hanzel out there in the City By The Bay. (more about that shortly.) Anyway, earlier today this olelongrooffan stopped…

    So this olelongrooffan has determined that I need to quit hanging out over in that Slacktivism group over at that Book about my Face and reestablish a periodic series of postings here in the Hooniverse. After inadvertently deleting (albeit one) image from my trip to the Daytona International Speedway’s Inaugural Red Bull RallyCross (it was…

      So this olelongrooffan is comfortably settled into my new job and my old, new hometown here in Naples, Florida, otherwise known to me as FantasyLand (and all is well, thanks for asking). As the shoes on my longerroof are nearly seven years old, that’s right seven years old, and are weather cracked, nearly bald,…
