comments
This one is… interesting. On one hand, I love the work done by both Superformance and Magnaflow. We’ve driven a number of great Superformance continuation cars and fitted Magnaflow exhaust to our own project vehicles. On the other hand, a classically cool MkI GT40 doesn’t need a modern wing and oversized wheels to help it’s…

LS Powered Ferrari P4 Kit Car Is The Stuff Of Dreams

comments
It’s understandable that, outside of Monterey Car Week, the idea of driving a $20m Ferrari around is not the best. Though I would personally disagree. So what do you do? To me kit cars aren’t a terrible idea, like a Hawk Lancia Stratos or Beck Porsche 904. I would 100% flog the hell out of…

Before it was a humdrum mid-size sedan, the Ford Contour was an angular, bean-shaped concept car on display at the 1991 Chicago Auto Show. Sure, it didn’t have the flash of the Geo Tracker dancers at the same show, but the car had something not seen in an American road car in nearly 40 years:…

Have you ever beheld a piece of obsolete technology and thought that time ought to have been kinder to it? Perhaps when you slide your favourite, home-recorded Minidisc into your still-functioning deck, or when you pass a once magnificent Sony WEGA CRT television as it sits, screen down, outside somebody’s house – it’s sheer weight…

So, it’s Saturday night in the UK, and while families nationwide wallow in the festival of charged socio-political fireworks that is the Eurovision Song Contest, I thought I’d post what I meant to last night – before I spilled most of a can of cider over my laptop. 24hrs and a session in the airing…

While out on the setup day for this year’s Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance, I happened to stumble across the hot rods of Ed “Big Daddy” Roth being towed in and set up for the Concours. To top it off, it was the beginning of golden-hour, the perfect time of day to capture them in photographs as…
