The Many Faces Of Automotive Freedom

Will Beaumont — Fri, 05 Jun 2020 06:45:35 +0000

I don’t want to show off down at the country club with an expensive car and some professional-grade equipment, the sort I can’t utilise fully because I don’t have sufficient talent. Well, I do want the car and all the gear because, well, cars are great and fancy well-made gadgets, no matter what their use, […]

An Import Tuning OG’s Mugen CR-X

Dave Thomas — Thu, 04 Jun 2020 06:45:33 +0000

The influence of the Japanese way of modifying cars has permeated nearly every automotive sub genre, but 30 years ago, especially in America, this wasn’t exactly the case. Mazdas, Nissans, and Hondas were viewed by many as disposable vehicles, and second fiddle to the ‘superior’ vehicles produced on American soil. As a result, respect while driving an import […]

Going The Distance: A 10-Year Alfa Romeo 155 Q4 Project

Simon Woolley — Wed, 03 Jun 2020 06:30:30 +0000

We’ve all got that friend — the one with too many project cars for their own (and their wallet’s) good. Ade Brannan is one such person – at the last count he owned 12 projects ranging from totally-stripped to (just about) on the road. Yet despite his best efforts to reduce that number, moving one […]

What’s Your Ultimate Car Mashup?

Will Beaumont — Tue, 02 Jun 2020 06:30:37 +0000

But the suave Milanese suits in charge at Alfa in the mid-2000s clearly didn’t have as much affection for the GT as I do. They never gave it the best drivetrains. It might have had a V6, but not with the same output as the sporty the 147 and 156 GTA. And then, to make […]

Project STW: Motorsport Meets Stance Culture

Ryan Stewart — Mon, 01 Jun 2020 05:30:41 +0000

People argue across the internet until they are blue in the face about it; always have, always will. Personally, I’ve never understood why. Cutting my engineering teeth on unnecessarily lowered Volkswagens and falling headfirst into the motorsport arena skews my position slightly, but I believe that stance and performance can exist in the same sphere. After […]

A Biased Take On The Baddest Harley Bobber

Sara Ryan — Sun, 31 May 2020 06:30:11 +0000

The other day I was showing a friend a picture of my parents at a Halloween party and they asked me, “Why are they dressed up as a biker and a hippie?” Dave Cripe — my mom’s boyfriend — was not in costume. And neither was my mom, for the record. But when it comes […]

The Speedhunters Photography Guide: Part I: Gear Up

Jordan Butters — Fri, 29 May 2020 15:00:52 +0000

‘All the gear and no idea.’ No doubt you’ve heard this idiom before, and it’s something that’s very much prevalent in photography too. Am I prefacing the opening part of the Speedhunters Photography Guide by telling you not to pay too much attention to what I’m about to say? No, and yes. The kit that […]

Life After SEMA: A Hot-Rodded Hot Hatch

Dave Thomas — Thu, 28 May 2020 17:00:23 +0000

In particular, I’m always curious what fate beholds cars destined for the bright lights of the SEMA Show. Much fuss is made about the ‘crunch’ that goes into building these cars, and ultimately their debut at the Las Vegas Convention Center, but once the show is over their afterlife is rarely discussed. Sadly, for many, their time outside […]

On Wednesdays We Wear White

Eliza Kirberger — Wed, 27 May 2020 17:00:58 +0000

Max, Ben, and Eric are brothers that hail from just outside of Tampa, Florida, but put down roots – and built their cars – right here in the shade of Pikes Peak, Colorado. I met Ben Councill first at the shop where he lives and runs Drift Factory. Later on, Eric Councill sold me my […]

Is This The Perfect Garage House?

Dino Dalle Carbonare — Tue, 26 May 2020 17:00:14 +0000

In a country where having a garage is a bit of a luxury in itself, Garage Life meets with home owners who have created true automotive-themed sanctuaries. The garages featured within the magazine’s pages are a true celebration of the passion, and sometimes obsession that Japanese people have with cars. And like anything originating from Japan, […]
