If you are interested in cars there’s a good chance you’ve dreamed about this scenario. You wake up in the morning, have a cup a coffee and walk out into your backyard. Of course it’s not really a backyard but a giant workshop and a big storage yard loaded up with race cars, stacks [...]
I’ve met a few people in my time who really don’t like travel at all. They find the removal of their familiar day-to-day touchstones to be the cause of great distress. When faced with foreign food, alien languages and unknown rules, they clam up and panic. Thankfully I’m not like this at all. I really [...]
Let me ask you a hypothetical question: if you could design a day out with an Aventador, what would it be? What kind of automotive experience would you want to have? Would you want to cruise around town, drawing as much attention to yourself as possible? Perhaps you’d want roll in to your local nightclub [...]
Sweden. What comes to mind when it’s mentioned for you? Are there images of unspoiled nature and virgin forests dancing through your head? Or perhaps a glitzy disco song from Abba is playing? It could be that you think of the furniture mega-retailer IKEA, or the clothing giant H&M. You might have a more edgy [...]
“What do you want to be when you grow up?” It’s a question we’re all faced with at some point as a child, and most of us will have a pretty creative answer. Sadly the majority never go on to realize these childhood dreams, but there are a select few like Christian von Koenigsegg who [...]
I spend a lot of my time these days looking at stats. Whether it’s graphs showing how our Speedhunters EDTN daily sales are doing, readouts of live webstats, or weekly facebook reports, I make it my business to keep a snap shot of Speedhunters in my mind’s eye at all times. This helps me get [...]
Holiday Greetings to all of you Speedhunters. I hope you’ve been able to take a moment to slow the pace down and take stock of your surroundings. I certainly have used this brief lull-in-action for some concentrated down-time and have been doing as little as humanly possible for the past week or so. Well, at [...]
Those of you who read Fast Car and NZ Performance Car magazines will know that I write a monthly Speedhunters column, outlining our photography adventures from around the world. I quite enjoy doing these monthly projects, and take a real satisfaction in seeing the latest Speedhunters photographs in print. There’s something just so tactile about [...]
As a kid, I used to enjoy hanging out at my father’s car stereo shop, especially in the back garage area. It was here that his customers, having bought themselves a pile of the latest cassette players, equalizers, tweeters and woofers would come to my dad and his staff to get their new equipment installed [...]
Hello ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to October 2012. Most of us up here in the Northern Hemisphere are starting to brace ourselves for the end of the motorsports season and are having to face the reality that winter is coming. Soon race tracks will fall silent and the sound of tortured engines and groaning tires [...]
“Are you sure you want me to drive your car? If you are feeling nervous, it’s not a problem at all that we don’t do this.” This was my offer to Richard Good, the managing director at KW Automotive UK. The truth of the matter was that it was me who was feeling nervous, not him. [...]
We’re very excited for this weekend’s Japfest and ProDrift Finale at Mondello Park. Judging by the intensity of his practice runs today, Darren seemed to be pretty pumped too. This is also Larry Chen’s first experience of the Irish drift scene and I’m quite interested to see what he thinks. He’s checked out the Nordic [...]
So who gets to be a Speedhunter anyway? Is it for professional automotive photographers only? Do you have to own a several SLR cameras and a hard-case full of lenses to come out and play? Or is this photograph also Speedhunting? Is it the image quality or the intention that counts? If you want an [...]
It’s busy times here in the land of Speedhunters as we get set to descend upon Silverstone Circuit for one of our biggest weekends of the year: the Trax show. A big group of us are flying and driving over from Sweden, Norway, Ireland, France and the USA to meet up with our regular British [...]
As I was selecting the photos for this announcement, I couldn’t help but feel excited by all the amazing metal that the Speedhunters crew has been shooting this year. We’ve been pushing hard to gather together what we think are the world’s most exciting builds, and it seems that you would agree too as it’s [...]
