EVENT>>LANGLEY 'GOOD TIMES' CRUISE PT.2
Filed under: , , , , , , , , ,  
Speedhunters
For our second post on the Langley Cruise, I thought I'd focus on 'Imports'. I was surprised at the selection at the show. I assumed it would be an all American show, but the show had a very eclectic mix. As you can see from theses images, European and Japanese cars such as the Datsun 510 and Fiat 500. I regret selling mine when I immigrated to Canada, so you'll have to put up with my indulgence for Fiat 500 images and posts! There was a great selection of Datsun 510's. I wasn't...

CAR SPOTLIGHT>> 'CHMS' AE86 BTCC TOURING CAR
Filed under: , , , , , , ,  
Speedhunters
A few weeks ago, Antonio mentioned the Toyota Corolla AE86's birthday was in August. I didn't realise cars had birthdays, but there you go ;) So, after adding the AE86 to my birthday card list, I started to wonder how many people knew the AE86 was a two-time British Touring Car Championship Champion? As you now know from Antonio's post last week on the Spa winning AE86 , the car was a successful 'tin-top' racer back in the day, I first started going to races in the 80's, when...

CAR LIFE>>KICKING TIRES
Filed under: , , , , , , , , , ,  
Speedhunters
My father was a bit of a car nut. He introduced me to the term "kicking the tires" at the local dealerships. We weren't a particularly brand loyal family either. Dad cycled through Chevy V8's and even an '86 Corolla (At the time this was the new hotness!). (The image is from a Toyota brochure circa 1980's, and isn't the exact car that he had) My first car was the epitome of reliably bland. A 1990 Toyota Tercel (Thank wikipedia for the image of exactly what my lump of...

MAGAZINES>> DRIFT TENGOKU
Filed under: , , , , , , , , , , ,  
Speedhunters
I was asked recently to pour over some JDM magazines and get a feel for them. I have to say, I love seeing the high level of tune on the JDM rides in the magazines. They have such a diverse scene over there. Truth be told, the majority of the drift scene appears to revolve around Nissan Silvia's and 1 & 2-JZ powered Toyotas, but there is also a fair bit of coverage to be had on the other players in the scene as well. Drift Tengoku as a magazine drops right into the mix as a more feature focused...

EVENT>>RALLY BARBADOS '08
Filed under: , , , , , , , ,  
Speedhunters
Here we have some more rally greatness brought to us by "Rommel", a member of the Speedhunters forums. Rommel is a resident of Barbados and he hooked us up with a link to some in depth coverage of the Sol Rally Barbados event which was held last weekend. The event's roster included everything from the latest Imprezas and Evos, to classics like the jumping Toyota Starlet seen above. Speaking of the Starlet, it seems like the older Toyotas have a huge following among the Caribbean guys...
