45 Countries and Counting – Site visitor update

The world wide web is truly world wide! So far, for the 6 days in October, MyRideisMe.com has been visited by 45 countries. Even Kazakhstan! No joke!

The countries that visit us most from outside the US in October are the Netherlands, Australia, France and Germany, so far. I think our friend Dirk Behlau from Germany (pixleyle.de) has been helping us spread the word and I hope Mark from the National Association of Street Clubs will help us get some more members from the United Kingdom. You can see Mark and his wife Yvonne’s garage here.

 

For our first full month of operation, September, we had 66 total countries visit us. The tops were the Netherlands, Canada, France and Finland.It’s great to see what’s happening around the world for hot rods and bikes. It’s cool that some styles are universal and carry over, but there’s always something different to be found when innovative people use what’s available. Check out this ride from Hamburg, Germany. It’s from our friend Ralf over at Chromjuwelen. He’s taken1972 Pontiac LeMans Coupe and transplanted a Toyota Supra (7M-GTE) engine! Here’s his garage. His car was just featured in a really popular German auto magazine.

Next up, I hope, is some art and illustrations from Janne. Last time I heard from him, he was hitting some car shows in Finland. I’m gonna have to do that one of these days! Here’s a quick sample of his work. Keep an eye on his garage. I’ll write more about Janne when he slows down and posts more work to his garage.

So for all the guys I didn’t mention in Australia, France and even in Japan, I want to see your hot rods, rat rods and customs here at My Ride is Me. And when you find something you like, tell your buddies with the cool bikes they’re cruzing to join as well.
