大神戸共榮圈

My new favorite blog Daikoube. Can't tell you what the philosophy is, it's all in Japanese (the title might read 'Ben is a twat' but I wouldn't know). Who cares? Check out the funky vehicles. BP

New Stickers

We've had some new stickers made. Designed by the twisted genius, James Chappell and on nice juicy die-cut vinyl, big too, roughly 10x10cm.They seem to be the best quality stickers we've had made (other than the laser-cut subs stickers, they're killer. This pair are undergoing destruction testing on the back of the LDV).
They're £1 for two. Post is extra UNLESS you order with something else, then it's free.
Sandy is the blonde, Nora is the brunette. Which is your favourite?
Order them here. GI

These are the only Popes I have any interest in. GI
Read Pope's history at the Vintagent
Noel Pope - Many epic motorcycle record breaking attempts took place at Brooklands during the 1930s. Eric Fernihough raised the Brooklands lap record to 123.58mph in 1935 with his Brough Superior, topped in 1939 by Noel Pope at 124.51mph.

Fiona Banner

Following a tip from Death Spray Custom, went to the Tate Britain London (Milbank, not the modern one) especially to see this mesmerizing installation by Fiona Banner. A Harrier strung up from the ceiling with it's nose inches from the floor, and a Jaguar polished back to the metal which looks like it's just crash landed gently. BP

Northern Soul

The film Soul Boy passed me by, but the trailer has just made my hair stand on end. GI

Belladonna Love Warriors

Belladonna Trackers in Stockholm supplied some memorable shots of one their Love Warriors for SB6. This is Leeloo modelling a pink Dick hooded sweat and Dave T-shirt, both customised by Belladonna.
THANKS GUYS!
More from the Belladonna Trackers guys in future Sideburns.

We have very limited number of the Dave T-shirt left and some Dick hooded sweats (though you need to pul them over your head, they don't have a zip, Leeloo did that herself). We even have one pink small. Check sizes and colours here - Sideburn webshop. GI
