First off, thanks guys for all your comments and advice from my first post. Here is the second part of my Skyline Super Silhouette model build. Picking up from where I left off a few days ago. Above you can see the black two tone paint is now finished and I have masked up the [...]
I'm sure most people would be gearing up for their big NYE celebrations (or already nursing hang-overs for those in different time zones), however the Speedhunters crew has been busy tallying up the votes for the remaining five awards. Thousands upon thousands of votes were cast as the public backed those who they felt were [...]
Time for Photos Of The Year already – 2010 has gone by like a flash! While all the noise in this season’s SUPER GT was about Honda’s new-for-2010 HSV-010GT, the car that showed the greatest consistency all year long was the Team LeMans LEXUS SC430. With equal finesse, the Quintarelli/Matsuda pairing in the CALSONIC IMPUL [...]

I can't believe 2011 is almost upon us. Thinking back to what I was doing and what I was dreaming of just twelve months ago, this seems like some sort of alternative reality. It's just like one of those dreams you get awoken from just to bring you back to reality. Speedhunting takes on many [...]
Photos Of The Year is a difficult topic to tackle. There are two sides to it: photos which I think go some way to living up to the quality expected on Speedhunters, and then photos which sum up *my* year. The former is difficult: subjective to the eyes looking at them and also tough from [...]
JDM Allstars Round 3, Walton Smith. Newcastle. A long time in the making but the Jap Performance Parts RB26 powered Subaru was competitive right out of the box. Steve Guglielmi, Time Attack Series, Cadwell Park, United Kingdom. I was actually lying in wait for a side on shot of the Lotus airborne over the infamous [...]

To finish off my contributions for 2010 here is the fourth and final part of my favorite pictures of the year. Enjoy! Above – Autumn Drift Matsuri, Ebisu Circuit, Fukushima-ken – Drifting at night under the Minami Course illumination. G-Works Drag Meet, Sendai Hi-land, Miyagi-ken – L-power & lurid burnouts. What else do you need? [...]
It has been almost two years since I’ve owned a large black painted chunk of magnesium. It seems to never leave my side. Since first taking ownership in March of 2009, I’ve taken 185,000 photos exactly. In the timespan between then and now, the camera and I have travelled far and wide. This past year, with [...]
Right, let's continue with my look at my favorite pictures of the year and pick up from where I left off in Part Two: Above – D1 Round 5, Ebisu Circuit, Fukushima-ken – Hibino getting four wheels in the air taking full advantage of the new line the organizers opened up R's Meeting 2010, Fuji [...]
Here is my final post for 2010. Looking back on these carefully chosen images really does put a smile to my face. This year has been like no other, travelling so many miles for something that I love doing - I really couldn't ask for anything else! MSC Challenge, Mobara Twin Circuit, Chiba, Japan D1-Street Legal, Tsukuba 1000 [...]
Welcome to the third update of the Need for Speed D-Mac 86. I have to say looking at these pictures I'm starting to get excited about this car, it's shaping up to be something really special. It's hard to get your head around the placement of the Owen Developments GT3582HTA turbo in this pic so [...]
Sorry about the delay in getting back to these, it has been a pretty wild month here. Continuing on from where we finished up in part two, this post will begin from arguably the most exotic event and venue I had the privilage to shoot in 2010. The Paul Ricard HTTT circuit is like no [...]
The Fatlace WordUp event was filled with the usual drift friendly cars with various S-chassis and Corollas. There were some sprinklings of Cressidas, Miatas, and a Camaro. But the car that caught my eye the most was this BMW Z3. Rarely do we ever see a Z3 done up in this way as these roadsters [...]
In the last post, we looked at Chris Lee's overall collection. This time around, we'll be taking a more detailed look a few of his favorite models he's built. First, we'll start off with this street going version of a Ferrari 575 LM. It started as a Kyosho model with full race livery. He removed [...]
Back at Tsukuba now to revisit the AE86 Matsuri from a few weeks back. This is one event that was all about action and it's pretty impressive to see just how fast some privateers have managed to make their own rides. If you can't understand the appeal of the hachiroku among people and cars like these [...]
