The time flies S0 FAST! As a Porsche 911 Turbo S does… and here it is again, that time of the year we’ve been all waiting for! Stancers Christmas is coming! Roll on Wörthersee! There’s one thing I’m not looking forward to, though. Not at all…
For some the new season has started already, but I’m still waiting. Usually for starters I’d choose a greasy, beer and vodka filled BBQ with the Wolfsgruppe crew. I’ll miss it this year, what a pity, but I found a roll of 35mm film with a couple images from one of my favourite edition’s of this traditional show season opener… after it went missing for 3 years.
Suddenly, like a 500ml bottle of ice-cold vodka for two, this year’s summer came to an end and with it – the end of the show season has arrived. Finally after months of good weather clouds covered the sky above Wrocław and the heat went away giving a chance to breathe normally just like at home – in Ireland. It was time for the last official meet-up of the closing season.
It’s the last day of December 2005, I’m cruising in my dropped Tornado Red Golf Mk2 on the covered in snow streets of the City of Opportunities, a virtually seventy thousand inhabitants small post-industrial village in Silesia, south-west Poland. My homeland. Snow is falling, all around me… We just had the real white Christmas, just as the ones that Frank used to know but I’m not listening to any Christmas carols, feck no,
Dear RTE,
I’m just after watching your fabulous, fair and clearly objective, insight into, what you named, the modified car scene. Frightening footage, fantastic job… a fucking propaganda. Pardon my French, but your work is far from being worth called documentary by which, shamelessly, you’ve labeled your latest television episode of Reality Bites. Far from reality, lads. Kevin McGahern’s Fast and Furious, although awfully true… I regret that your production is unforgivably biased and brainwashing.
