Veyron... Genève



The Bugatti Veyron... We know it by now... Yet still... It remains the superlative of all that carmaking is about. Whether we glance at the more than a 1000 horsepower, or the staggering one-point-five million pricetag (who cares what currency, if you have to do a calculation first, you're probably not really the targetgroup...), it is insane in every aspect. So when Bugatti presented yet another limited edition at the Geneva carshow, and decided to tint the carbonfibre darkgreen, we could only but knod our heads... Exactly. These guys know what they are doing... What was the color of money again...?

Too Italian?..... Luciano Barbera

“THIS tradition is finita,” says Luciano Barbera, as he opens the door to an underground warehouse. Dozens of large wooden boxes are stacked to the ceiling, containing nearly 80 tons of colorful thread, wound in spools and idling like sunbathers at a beach, absorbing moisture in a cavernous room kept naturally cool and humid by a creek that burbles under the floor.

A talk with the master...... Firenze

Capturing creativity and style on the pavements of the world, this man on his own shook up the entire perception of fashion. No longer the catwalk dictates the streets, but the democratic inspiration of the people is feeding the collection meetings and creative sessions. Fashion will never be the same, and the camera in his hand combined with a keen eye made all of that possible. Thanks Scott!

Frauscher Challenge.... Loosdrecht


Without a doubt one of the highlights of 2009 was the Frauscher Challenge. During the summer several clients and friends of GOLDVISH, MANICA, Porsche and Frauscher competed for the Title. Goal was to set the fastest laptime at Lake Side Beach Loosdrecht. The Challenge started at Restaurant Het Bosch, but when the police threatened to seize both of the Frauscher Lido's we were racing AND arrest Ferry, we knew it was time to move....

The final race was to be a race of champions. A race where every winner got a chance to compete for the season's cup. Unfortunately, very Dutch weather determined the outcome, so we had to abort the competition. The picture above is taken on one of the rare moments it wasn't raining....

Upside of the failed finals is that all drivers are welcome back in the spring of 2010, when we will start the new season of the Frauscher Challenge with the Final Race of 2009. I just can't wait....

At Home.... Florence

If you visit Florence regularly as I do, then you also know that hotels can differ in quality, and that's an understatement... Home Hotel is the refreshing exception. Inside, as you can see, white is the new black. The theme is really cool and it works for me. I just loved the small hotel that really makes you feel at ease. With the use of the minibar included in the room rates, as well as internet and snacks in the lobby, it's just like home...

The Time Has Come..... Washington D.C.

Finally it's time. A day the world has been anticipating for. This afternoon at 12:00 (EST) in Washington, history is written. The man who has achieved the sheer impossible, gets the job with the sheer impossible mission. The future will tell if America casted the hero it was hoping for, or that it was fed by an excellent director, using the most charismatic actor ever. One thing is for sure; Obama wants to do things differently than the rest. Surrounded by pop- and moviestars, he made the race to the White House unforgettably breathtaking. I'll take a gamble; where Reagan ended his actingcareer to fulfill the highest position possible, Obama will start his. The result will be a theatrical thriller never seen before. Including the scandals, explosions, miraculous and unrealistic revellations, and not to forget; a proper American happy ending. At first it looks like nothing new, if not for one thing he added; HOPE. That will be the breakthrough in times where skepticism and doubt have become common goods. Yes We Can. From this afternoon there is time for hope again. So there you really have it; The Change I Can Believe In.

Eindelijk is het zover. Een dag waar de wereld met smart op heeft gewacht. Vanmiddag om 12:00 (EST) wordt in Washington D.C. geschiedenis geschreven. De man die het schijnbaar onmogelijke heeft gepresteerd krijgt de baan met een schijnbaar onmogelijke missie. De toekomst zal uitwijzen of Amerika de held heeft gecast waar het op hoopte, of dat het werd gevoed door een uitmuntende regisseur, gebruikmakend van de meest charismatische acteur ooit. Één ding is zeker; president Obama wil het anders doen dan de rest. Omringd door film en popsterren heeft hij de race naar het Witte Huis onvergetelijk adembenemend gemaakt. Ik gok er op; Waar Reagan zijn filmcarrière aan de wilgen hing om het hoogste ambt te bekleden, start Obama aan de zijne. Het resultaat wordt een schouwspel dat zijn weerga niet kent, inclusief schandalen, explosies, miraculeuze en onwerkelijke ontknopingen en niet te vergeten een oer-Amerikaans happy end. Op het eerste gezicht niets anders dus, ware het niet dat hij één ingrediënt heeft toegevoegd; HOPE. Dat wordt de doorslag in tijden waar scepsis en twijfel gemeengoed lijken te zijn geworden. Yes We Can. Vanaf vanmiddag is er weer tijd voor hoop. Daar is het dan toch echt; The Change I Can Believe In.
