The Best Things In Life Are...

20 million dollars. Smoking joints while racing down Mulholland in, now, one of the most expensive and rarest cars ever made. Painting a Ferrari army green just to piss off everyone at a Ferrari owner's club meeting. Making short films about you and your friend's cars just because you had nothing better to do on a Saturday. At 19, having Steve McQueen stop in the middle of an intersection just to admire your car. Nothing like young, rich Hollywood in the 60s. These two little films will absolutely make your day.

I have enjoyed your blog for over a year now, checking in every week to see whats blown your mind lately.

While watching you share you discoveries of timeless objects/crafts with the world, which speak to the soul and not the ego, I have always managed to refrain from posting a silly comment echoing your own opinion. But mate, these two videos..... I have never enjoyed anything on youtube, or perhaps even the internet as much as these.

Thank you

So here I am commenting

Chris-

Awesome. Thanks. Don't give me his email. He'd get pissed cause I'd fill his inbox, begging for more stories.

Chris very kindly sent your blog post link to me and I am very pleased to know that you enjoyed the videos and to read the enthusiastic comments here. A bunch of us gather every Wednesday in Westwood Village where these kinds of stories are traded back and forth. You and your readers are invited to join us if ever you find yourself in the vicinity. Here is a reprint from the Berlinetta Newsletter about it: http://emcpb.blogspot.com/2009/11/elysee-wednesday-mentioned-in.html
