THE 145.000 $ JEEP WRANGLER | STARWOOD MOTORS MARTINI HEMI EDITION

to excited! a JEEP WRANGLER is on my LIFE TIME GEAR list to own it one day. i think since i saw my first JEEP (an army WILLY)  in the late 60s in FULDA driven by GIs of the BLACK HORSE REGIMENT. okay, just 3 months ago i could strike another dream car from the LIFE TIME GEAR wish list. yeah, but that’s another subject. isn’t that pure white classic JEEP WRANGLER combined with the classic MARTINI design a beauty? and the STARWOOD MOTORS goodies? classic design meets something that does not fit but fit because of this fact combined with pure high-tech. exciting: i love this! AND, f***, an 392 HEMI V8 machine. for more information, check the DUPONT REGISTERY site. pics | STARWOOD MOTORS

PATTERNED SUMMER SHIRTS

the weather forecast told us, that there will be rain and thunderstorms today in middle germany and that the next days will be about 20°C. okay, there was some rain and low winds that blow the 37°C from this morning away. for 1 hour we have had about 22°C, and now at 5 PM it is nearly 30°C again. so the next days i think it’s good to know some colored short sleeved shirts in the cupboard. here some of my favorites. as you see: i love patterned shirts. pics | LTG

MINI HUMMER | WHEN A HUMMER DRIVES THE GOLF COURT

found this just some minutes ago at spiegel.de when i checked the news for today. isn’t this ELECTRO HUMMER HX sweet? when GM stopped 2010 the production of the HUMMER they sold the license to china. UK based MEV owns a license too and produces this “political correct” HUMMER HX. 20 PS power, 45 km/h slow and about 30 to 50 km can be done with this shrink HUMMER. in germany not one “HUMMER-lein“ could be sold. MEV says that the most cars were shipped to the USA for the use at golf courses or big housing estates – no wonder: about 18.000 EURO must be paid for this little thing. too expensive and the electro powered engine technic is an old one. pics | TOM GRÜNWEG

YUKETEN @ VOLLS.DE | PERFECT SUMMER FOOTWEAR

yesterday i visited KLAUS c/o volls.de. it was time to pick up some stuff which was reserved for me since weeks. there wasn’t any time before: because of working, working and working … when i entered the shop i saw a line of new YUKETEN shoes and boots. wonderful, timeless classics: different styles and color-ways of MAINE GUIDE CHUKKAS and ANGLER MOCS. my favorite is the suede chestnut brown ANGLER MOC HEX EYE. for me a hybrid between a classic oxford and a boat-shoe – great look! for more information about the new stuff enter the YUKETEN site @ volls.de. i never slipped into a boot without socks and felt so comfortable as in the ANGLER MOC. i told you: an absolute perfect summer shoe. pics | volls.de, LTG

SENOR TYRONE PONCHO EXPRESS | DO IT LIKE CLINT DID IN “A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS”

what a crazy idea … for me: doing business with PONCHOS. but, i think i like ponchos. mainly on women. to wear it as a guy? hm?! CLINT was dressed very well in “A Fistful of Dollars“, but in real life? men wearing a poncho – is this cool? whatever california based SENOR TYRONE seems to be a cool young brand. they have a great selection of ponchos and everything they show at their well done website looks pretty cool. take a peak and get some more informations @ www.senortyrone.com. what a cool statement: “Some may call it a poncho or a wrap or a scarf or a cape. For me it is only Señor Tyrone. – Señor Tyrone.” pics | Senor Tyrone, © Clint Eastwood by Clint Easwood

BOOT OF THE DAY | #178 | ALDEN FOR BUREAU BELFAST “KUDU PLAIN TOE BLUCHER & WORK BOOT“

half a year ago i did a blog post about a KUDU INDY BOOT by ALDEN for BUREAU BELFAST and i was really fascinated about this great looking antelope leather. BUREAU BELFAST right now got 2 other KUDU styles from ALDEN: a BLUCHER and a WORK BOOT. both fitted with a custom vibram sole, dark brown eyelets, flat cotton laces and a reverse split welt. the rare KUDU leather has an oil finish. certainly is this ALDEN stuff hand made in the USA. what a wonderful footwear! pics | The Bureau Belfast
