CAR FEATURE>> SHIFT GT300 LEXUS IS350

If there is a will, there is a way. The Team Takeuchi Lexus IS you see here is quite an interesting car, it was created out of need, and as we will see shares very little with the Lexus IS you and I know. The project was handled by Shift Racing, a highly technological outfit [...]

CAR FEATURE>> THE GREEN THING

On Saturday, December 12th 2009, Linhbergh and I arrived at a rather soggy Irwindale Speedway on a real mission.

RETROSPECTIVE>>THE CUSTOMS OF SAM BARRIS

If you hear the name "Barris" , you'll likely picture the wild Hollywood customs built by George Barris – cars like the original Batmobile, and Drag-u-la from the Munsters TV show. Although not as well known as his younger brother, Sam Barris made perhaps an even bigger contribution to the history of custom car building, [...]

BUILDER>> METAL MASTERS: THE WALDEN SPEED SHOP

Last month I took a quick trip to Los Angeles in order to attend the Mooneyes Xmas Party. I knew this was a chance to see the burgeoning traditional rod and custom scene up close and personal for the first time. I also wanted to try to find a LA based hot rod shop to [...]

EVENT>>RETROMOBILE 2010

Another week another Show, this time I got up before I went to bed to jump on the first Eurostar to Paris and onto the 2010 Retromobile. What a contrast to the gruesome NEC and not just the Show itself. Alighting from the cab at Porte de Versailles the scene could not more different from [...]

CAR SPOTLIGHT>> YARIS ON TWENTIES

Natural progression or a fluke? You can't open a ‘pic of the day thread' on a random forum without getting confronted with cars that have a killer stance. Normally you would see cars like a Impreza or Evo and of course the S-chassis cars. But we can't forget the little guys, like this Toyota Yaris [...]
