May you say? Which means April 2012 has gone, never to return. When you sit down and think about the passing of time it can really focus your mind in a way few other thoughts can, if it galvanizes you in to action then all the better. At Speedhunters things move fast and we like it [...]
I’m going to be honest here, for a long time I wasn’t a big fan of the coupe body style of the Ford Mustang. Many people must agree, because when all else is equal a fastback Mustang seems to have a value two or three times greater than that of its coupe counterpart.
Recently though I’ve taken quite a liking to Mustang coupes, particularity the ’67 and ’68 models.
I know we don’t post a whole lot of NASCAR material here, but I wanted to share this quick clip from last Friday night’s Nationwide Series race in Richmond.
As typical with Richmond, the race brought lots of action and lots of close racing. Here you’ll see Denny Hamlin and Kurt Bush fighting it out in the final laps of the race, banging together and driving with the kind of excitement that can make NASCAR so fun to watch.

What exactly is soul? And what constitutes soullessness? A lot of people will contend that most new objects lack soul. Whether it’s a piece of architecture, furniture or a car, there’s a commonly held notion that new means souless and old means soulful. Case-in-point: I have several European friends who don’t like new houses or [...]
You knew they were coming…there was no way I was going to not post some desktops from last weekend’s HKS Premium Day.

Here is a quickie desktop post for you guys to plaster your computer with some Time Attack machine awesomeness.
Surely most of you would agree that the McLaren MP4-12C is anything but a normal car, particularly if you’ve read Rod’s introduction to the car. Unfortunately I didn’t have the opportunity to drive it, so I cannot speak to how it drives. Nevertheless, I was still blown away by it. But not by how good [...]
