It’s a sad day for the car tuning world, Uwe Gemballa was found dead in South Africa earlier today, shot in the head execution style. No one really knows the whole story, but details are showing an offshore money-laundering scheme between Gemballa and fugitive Czech billionaire Radovan Krejcir. His body was dumped, hands behind his back in Atterdgeville, west of Pretoria. This news comes from jalopnik, and is just months after the high-profile murder of strip-club owner Lolly Jackson by underworld character “Louka”, alias George Smith. In the absence of Uwe Gemballa, Andreas Schwarz took over the Gemballa tuning company that was nearing bankruptcy, however I doubt they will ever put out a product like the Ferrari Enzo or the Porsche Mirage GT without Uwe Gemballa. RIP my man.
Alright so this doesn’t have anything to do with car tuning, but there are some really dumb people in this world! I don’t know what this guy was thinking, but I can’t stop laughing and have to post this for you guys to see. I mean, what did he expect to happen if he stood in the middle of the street? This video is a must see, but I almost feel bad for him because it looks like that impact hurt. Then again he is the idiot for thinking dancing in the street would be funny, or that people would stop to watch him dance? I doubt the ice cream man gave him some free ice cream after this.
