Peter Vincent Bücher

Hot Rods, das sind aufgemotzte, stark motorisierte, oftmals fantasievoll bemalte Oldtimer aus dem Amerika der 30er- und 40er-Jahre, in denen sich Nostalgie und Hochleistung auf faszinierende Weise mischen. Ihre Fans kommen in diesem Buch zu Wort; sie erzählen, worin die Faszination dieses Hobbys besteht, das für sie längst zur Passion geworden ist. Die Objekte ihrer Leidenschaft hat Peter Vincent kongenial in Szene gesetzt, denn er versteht es wie kein Zweiter, in jedem der Fotos die Anziehungskraft dieser einzigartigen Fahrzeuge einzufangen. Oldtimerfreunde wie auch Liebhaber automobiler Fotokunst werden begeistert sein!

This collection features a selection of the memorable ‘news items’ from the Two Ronnies show, illustrated with over twenty cartoons. The humor includes classic gags like the elephant on the M1, a contortionist searching for relatives, and a stuntman landing on Raquel Welch, described humorously as “extremely comfortable.” The sketches range from Corbett’s portrayal of a man losing his bearings in a ball bearing factory to Barker’s comedic temper tantrum. Other highlights include a dance scene with Teddy boys and topless girls, as well as a humorous take on Frankenstein's castle, where Barker plays the monster. The collection also revisits a famous ghost sketch, showcasing the duo's comedic chemistry.
