Bob Haro ,.. BMX vs. Car

We do enjoy the link between lifestyle and cars here, from that group of friends you always meet at shows, to the "lifestyle" additions you may make to your cars for practical of style reasons.

As well as our previously documented unhealthy obsession with trainers, we've also got a thing for BMX', we're not the only ones, but things can go back the other way.  Bob Haro is a bit of a genius, BMX rider, entrepreneur and for us today artist.  Check out his Beetle on Centra wheels with BMX bike rack on the back :



Being an 80's thing there seems to be a leaning towards the use of Porsche 911s in full on 80's style.  So much so that the Pelican Parts Porsche forum found time to have a discussion about all things BMX and Porsche here : http://forums.pelicanparts.com/showthread.php?t=253006

There was even more evidence of this with Haro's rendering of a Porsche 911 Carrera covered in BMXs.



BMX Roots has a great series of entries about Bob Haro here if you want to read more on him, or this great biography here.  Or just enjoy the images we've got here and celebrate the juxtaposition of BMXs and Cars.

In the mean time, we want a big monster truck with a rack of bikes:

That last pic is dated 1978, but the style is something I still dream of being capable of today. I was exposed to The art skills of Bob Haro via BMX Action back in the early 80s and it's only recently I realised just how much influence they had. All that as well as the influence on what and how I rode back then too.  More background on Bob here: http://www.23mag.com/gens/haro.htm
