The new grill.
Ny grill.

During an overtake on the E4 we suddenly noted how small black sticks appeared out of seemingly nowhere and flew over the car. What these mini UFOs were we later found out when we stopped and saw that the grill was gone; it had been ripped apart by the wind. We returned to the stretch where the incident occurred to see (A) if any inconveniences had been caused, and (B) if any piece of the grill could be salvaged. It lay evenly spread along about a kilometre of the roadside, so that was rather pointless.

Since then I've been driving around devoid of a grill, with a gaping black hole upfront. One can't go around in such a manner. One ain't no rabble see. So yesterday I rolled up my shirtsleeves, mixed some fibre glass and molded a new grill. The theme; an ode to fine wine and driving. A bit of steam punk/goth to balance the German angularity.

You'll find more pictures of the car here (where you too can participate in the endless discussion about the car's paint), and perhaps you'll find a fitting sound illustration here.

Under en omkörning på E4 noterade vi hur små svarta pinnar dök upp från till synes ingenstans och flög över bilen. Vad dessa mini-UFOn var för något fick vi reda på vi när vi senare stannade och upptäckte att grillen var borta; den hade helt enkelt slitits i småbitar av fartvinden. Vi återvände till sträckan där det inträffade för att se (A) om detta orsakat någon olägenhet, och (B) om något av grillen gick att rädda. Den låg jämt spridd längs ungefär en kilometer vägren så det var bara att glömma.

Sedan dess har jag kört omkring grillös, med ett gapande svart hål i nosen, och så kan man ju inte ha det. Man är väl inget bös heller. Så igår kavlade jag upp ärmarna, blandade till lite glasfiber och gjöt en ny grill. Temat; ett ode till fina viner och bilkörning. Lite steam-punk/goth-stuk att balansera den tyska trubbigheten.

Mer bilder på kärran finner ni här (där du också kan delta i den till synes ändlösa diskussionen om bilens färg), och måhända tycker du detta är en passande ljudillustration.

On another note, the Artinthepicture.com blog should be mentioned. It's a part of ART in the PICTURE.com which is a great online resource both regarding art history and contemporary art matters.
