I’ve got a problem. A real issue. When I’m at car meet, event, show or race, I basically want to buy at least three different cars. Some days more than five. I live out these wild car buying and building fantasies as I walk around. Sometimes – ok maybe a lot of the time – [...]
This isn’t a story about a business and the fruits of their labour. Rather it’s the culmination of one man’s work and passion. Although in its relative infancy as a registered business, Milestone71 and head man Richie Payne, started to build its foundations many, many years ago. Watching his father repair cars in the family-owned [...]
Dazed, sleep-deprived and confused. That’s how you can sump up the demeanor of your average Speedhunter after a day covering one of the many events on our calendar. It all began abruptly at 4 am for me this morning; that irritating alarm buzzer once again interrupting my rest. There was no time for a couple [...]
Konnichiwa Speedhunters! As you’ve probably noticed, we have decided to launch a #maximumattack on Tokyo Auto Salon this year. Things have been practically non-stop for me since I arrived at Narita on Wednesday, and all the madness is already taking its tole on my body and soul, but that’s the price we pay as Speedhunters! [...]
I don’t know why, but all of a sudden I’ve been running into quite a lot of DeTomaso Panteras in Japan. It’s like they are on a little comeback and with examples like this popping up at the Mooneyes Hot Rod & Custom Show this past weekend, who in their right mind would complain! Aside [...]
The Japanese really are masters of style. Approaching a big event like Slammed Society in Fuji definitely is quite the chore. Three days on and my legs are still aching from the non-stop squatting I had to do to capture close to every car that showed up. And when there are 400 impressively unique vehicles [...]
“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. [...]
What would our celebration of 911 day be without some awesome RWB Porsches. This video was put together by the guys from RWN Thailand who early last month flew over to Japan and participated in the idelrs 12h endurance race in Twin Ring Motegi. Press play to get an idea of what it’s like to be part of the RWB brotherhood. Live, breath and drive Porsches!

No matter how many times I go to Rauh Welt or spend time with Nakai-san I am always impressed and literally left in awe at what he has managed to create. And I am of course not only talking about the cars here. Over the last week I have spent quite a bit of time [...]
When we first showed pictures of this 964, there were quite a few negative responses, most of which were appalled at the idea of a stanced 964. However, when you look at this car up close, you quickly realise that this is all pure and unadulterated function. Flocked dash, a dished Momo wheel and a [...]
As we get closer to the end of the month and our all out on focus on Porsche, it’s time for me to finish up my Rauh Welt car features with the much-anticipated look at Nakai-san’s personal 1985 Porsche 930. This is a car over 12 years in the making, and in its current state [...]
It’s time to continue our look at some of the iconic Rauh Welt-tuned Porsche examples from Japan and this time we will be looking at a car that belongs to one of Nakai-san’s most dedicated customers. As with many of the other RWB-built cars, this one was built with a strong emphasis on both on [...]
In Japanese, there is a term called “omakase” which translates to “leave it to you”. Sometimes the term is used at sushi bars when a customer leaves it to the chef to choose the finest fish of the day. When it comes to Nakai-san and his famous Porsche tuning shop, Rauh Welt it is kind [...]
