#iamthespeedhunter: One Extreme To Another

Looking through the #IAMTHESPEEDHUNTER Tumblr feed, I can’t help but be amazed at the variety of images coming through. It’s the same on Twitter and even our e-mail inbox is getting a huge variety of love on a regular basis. What makes this even better is that all of these fantastic images from around the globe are coming from you, our readers. You’re helping to create an amazing record of car culture, the likes of which I’ve never seen before. The details of how you can contribute are at the bottom of this post.

Max Müller managed to catch a couple of stages from last weekend’s WRC event in France. The hard charging Fords were again powerless to prevent Loeb earning his ninth world title. Incroyable.

Meanwhile in Thailand, a familiar man is working on another project.

Sondre Mydland contacted us from Norway with some images, including this Lotus Exige.

Scott Rankin was on hand to capture some of the action from the British Drifting Championship finale at Knockhill.

This Dakar yellow E36 caught my attention on Instagram. The car was captured by IG user @theraggededge at the recent H20 gathering in the US.

This Porsche 908/3 is certainly keeping good company.

@mazlimusa shared this beautiful Toyota TE27 with us – we thought it was only right that we share the love.

Joe Shaffer sent us in a couple of images from the Voodoo Hoodoo gathering in Kentucky. This Chevy hot rod has my affection.

V8s of a different sort and almost half a world away – Imraan Gallo sent us in these shots of two of the Masters V8 Mustangs.

@GrifBatenhorst tagged this shot of the mid-enigned Clio V6 sitting pretty.

I’m sure lots of you have enjoyed Maiham Media’s recent 962 video that Dino posted on Monday. Neil MacMillan was kind enough to share a photograph of another 962 in the wild some years ago. Where? In Japan, of course.

Asahiko Higashitsuz submitted this video to our e-mail address of a local drift event in Hokkaido, Japan. We’ll always have time for grass roots action.

Ed Lim was kind enough to share some of his photographs from a recent meeting in Xiamen, China.

They had an incredible turn-out with an eclectic mix of cars present. We need to keep a closer eye on the evolution of China’s automotive scene.

We’ll finish up this week’s round-up with a shot of a Fiat 500 somewhere in France, taken by Chris Illing. From this 500 to the exotics in China, from the Chevy hot rod to the dirt dropping S15 in Scotland, this is only a small sample of global car culture in recent times. I’m already excited for the next one …

can anyone id the silver aston looking thing poking its rear in the porsche 908 picture?  it's got my curiosity piqued.

2

Do you mean the Porsche 550 in the front-left?

I like in that group photo of the event in China there's all these beautiful exotics and some nice performance rides, but just off to the far left... "Alright, who's the a-hole who brought the SMART car? Huh? NOT FUNNY DUDE"
 
Lol.

@FunctionFirst It's not the only Smart car there either :-)

Can we submit photos through tumblr tags as well?

Thank you @PaddyMcGrathSH for the feature! If anyone wants more of the photos in China, you can check out http://www.edohaus.com/boys-will-always-be-boys/. If it is not allowed to plug, please delete my comment.

@PaddyMcGrathSH  @FunctionFirst Darn Paddy! I'd just spotted that, and wanted to be the annoying one who commented that..

yes that's the one.  many thanks!

the Fiat 500 pic is truly timeless.

so much love for the TE27!!

When I and a couple of other people suggested something like this a while back during your suggestions threads I don't think we could have imagined this amount of support and also the quality of the cars being shown off. I had a lot of faith in the community when I made the argument for a "readers rides" section but this has still continued to blow me away. Hopefully soon I will be able to take advantage of my own suggestion and show off. Really amazing stuff. So thanks to Speedhunters for giving us a stage to really be a community, and more importantly thanks to the Speedhunters community for proving we are a very awesome crowd.

@FunctionFirst OH MY GOD-its a smart! In Germany we say "trash can" ;)

it is a Porsche 550 Lemans Coupe. It is the closest thing to the original since the original was destroyed in a wreck. You can see more of it at 502AC.com or follow them on Facebook. I have a bunch of pictures of it since I am there all the time

Whats that orange car in the background on the left of the exige? Camaro? Either way it looks tough as hell!

@HSSLTYO thanks a lot man!
