Seattle Santa 2012

12/22/12, its saturday and we're still here (well my friends down-under could have told me that yesterday!)...so, without any further ado, i would like to wish everyone out there (especially those who take the time to read my banter) a safe and joyous holiday season and a very happy (and predicted) new year!

for all of you unfamiliar with our bi-seasonal (2 months of summer/10 months of fall) great pacific northwest, the image on the left is a pretty accurate depiction of santa claus dropping in on the 25th (i was going to make some kind of sarcastic "50 shades of..." reference, here, but decided to spare you all in the good spirit of christmas)...

anyhow...

happy holidays and a prosperous new year

MFP Garage

I can't call myself an automotive enthusiast without giving a nod to the very distinctive MFP (Main Force Patrol) 1972 Ford Falcon XB sedan - aka, the Big Bopper from George Miller's 1979 Mad Max...

As these cars are rather hard - nigh impossible - to find state-side (and i really don't have the nerves for yet another classic Ford), i let the car's illustrious paint-job be the inspiration to our garage's theme...

...coated in gallons of semi-gloss citric yellow, go-faster red, arctic white and a deep mid-night berry blue - finished with a double layer of high gloss jet-black and silver flaked epoxy floor...

a small cigar bar in the right corner is currently in the works...
