Shooting a film of any scale, or of any budget, requires a few key things to be successfully executed. One of those is a well organized and well planned pre-production phase. This includes figuring things out like the location, a shot list, on-screen talents and even the food that will be eaten during the duration of the filming. I was lucky enough to spend a day with Will Roegge and his cohort, DC Chavez, as they were on location, at the now empty El Toro Air Force base in Irvine, California, filming...

A week in racing, as well as politics, is a very long time. From the frozen wastes of the Var and Le Castellet, I am now pitched into the very agreeable surroundings of the Ritz Carlton, Amelia Island for the 15th edition of the Concours d'Elegance. The show is actually tomorrow but keen as mustard me, I ventured onto the Golf Course to see what is in store when the Sun rises in the morning.

There are a number of categories all vying for the vote of various celebrity judges plus the honour of 'Best in Show'.

After a quick 11-hour hop across the Pacific, I'm back here in the land of small cars and funny soft drinks. I'll be in Japan for a couple weeks, visiting the in-laws and of course doing some Speedhunting along the way. I'll try to post as much Japan material as I can, but before that I want to post a few photos from a show I attended right before I left - the Belmont Concours d'Eleganza back home in good old Fresno, California....
