I was asked to take part in an F1 themed commercial for Istanbul Finance Center.
"Drive your car like an F1 pilot and collect some city footage" they said.
I told them my car is in many, many pieces atm. Then I called a friend to borrow his car, a '97 1.8.

360 degree cameras were installed on the car, and I drove like a maniac on two different occasions.








Got pulled over half a dozen times, but the cops backed off once we produced the permits.

They used the footage I collected as the background, and the reflection on the pilot's helmet in an enormous studio.
We had way too much fun, and about 60 miles of maniacal driving paid for my custom made new 3.15 LSD BMW diff.

Here's the final product:

 

Your adventures are a source of constant amazement to me.

Theresa the taxifurby:

 

I'm picturing a strange little man, sitting alone late at night in his taxidermy shop. Surrounded by "parts," talking to himself. And the parts.

 

I'm not sure who made the furby, but there's a seller on Etsy from The Netherlands named Casper's Creatures who does custom build-to-order stuff with chickens:

 

Ah yes, I think you found the end of the internet.

 

 

 

 

Reminds me of the scene in Babylon 5 where G'Kar (Narn ambassador to B5) is in Garibaldi's (Earth B5 security officer) quarters and there's a large print of Daffy Duck on the wall:

G'Kar curiously asks: "Is this your God?"

- one of the best lines in Sci-Fi ever IMO, it demonstrated the differences between cultures (and cracked me up).

Pouring one out for "da boyz"?
