So that's it for Porsche month… it's been quite the odyssey for the site it has to be said. Perhaps we went a bit crazy with our outpouring of love for the cars from Stuttgart… For those of you who were pained by this experience we apologize hahaha. It's hard to please everyone isn't it. [...]
Regular readers will know that September is Porsche month here on SpeedHunters and Rod, Antonio and I trekked around Europe back in July eventually reaching Spa Francorchamps for the annual 24 Hours race. So what better way to round off a month considering the best of Porsche with a homage to one of the great [...]
Time for some more action from the VTEC-drenched spectacle that was I Heart Honda!! 2008 at Tsukuba Circuit. I figured that this shot of a legendary EK9 Civic Type R undergoing some work in the paddock would be good way to open this post. There are few things that symbolize Honda performance machines more than [...]
The S14 Silvia from the Magician drift team always seems to be popular, so how about a high res desktop wallpaper of it? I shot this photo during the recent MSC event at Nikko Circuit and if you look closely you can see that the Magican decal on the driver's helmet is almost aligned with [...]

Another weekend and another drift series in the books for '08. The European Drift Championship wrapped up it's 2008 season this weekend with its final round at Poznan, Poland, the only event on this year's EDC schedule held in continental Europe.

In the mid-90s, my wife and I moved to London to pursue a dream of directing music videos in the UK scene. This of course, was not such an easy manuever. It was quite a huge challenge to go to a large, foreign city to get started in a freelance career…. Pretty stressful times I [...]
I think many people have heroes as they grow up. Some may be fictional, some maybe real, some maybe gods….but for me, they always seemed to be race car drivers. Looking back, one of my hero's was Paul Newman. I had a signed poster of him in his Barbour Le Mans Porsche from 1979 on [...]
As we prepare to wrap up our Porsche themed month here on Speedhunters, I thought I'd post some photos of FIA GT cars running uphill at one of the most famous corners in the world of GT racing and Formula One – Eau Rouge. This famously treacherous corner is part of the Circuit de Spa [...]
September will be over in a couple days, and as the '08 drift season begins to draw to a close I thought this would be a good time for a quick review of the current standings in the Japanese D1 Grand Prix and D1 Street Legal series. First up, let's look at D1GP which has [...]

I know this is Porsche month, but after spending last Friday at Tsukuba Circuit for the first ever I Heart Honda!! event, I just can’t seem to get the sound of screaming VTEC engines out of my head. What is it about Honda? Japan’s automotive scene has no shortage of remarkable machines like high-powered GT-R [...]
Seeing old race cars for the first time in ages is a bit like bumping into an old flame, there is a natural tendancy to don the rose tinted spectacles, remember the good times and forget the bad. Racing imitates Life. Those of you paying attention will know that Rod, Antonio and I were guests [...]

Visitors can hop on a bus in Tokyo and take the trip a few hours north to see Nikko's historic Tosho-gu shrine and its famous [...]
I thought it would be great to show other Speedhunters something unique and exclusive as an extra bonus to our Porsche feature month. As some of you may be aware, I work on the Need for Speed Car team as the Senior Vehicle Concept Artist at our Downtown Vancouver Studio. The majority of my working [...]
