    Friend of Hooniverse and ace lensman Leo of CNC Automotive Event Pics passed this photo over to us, wondering what clever snark humorous captions the Hooni-hive mind could generate. So, go to it. [Image Source: CNCPics.com]

    Hooniverse seems to attract the best and the brightest, and here is more proof. We received a detailed communication from Raphael Orlove, and you may recognize him by his username raphaelinberlin. Mr. Orlove has an interesting site of his own called Autofrei, and he dropped us a line after I put this posting up. So…

    If you follow the right tube, you just might run across this message posted somewhere around the interwebs …just in case any of you two-wheeled types are interested. UPDATE: I should also add that I’ve installed IntenseDebate comments on my site, so regular Hooniverse readers can comment on TSJ without creating a new account.

    Welcome to another Hooniverse Weekend Edition, and I thought I would start this weekend with a reader submission. This comes our way from Bret (Thanks Man!), who is one of the members of the legendary 24 Hours of LeMons teams, the Cheese Eating Surrender Monkeys. He has been writing about cool iron in and around…

  • Time-Speed-Distance Rallying: Hit the Road (Very Precisely) with the Santa Monica Sports Car Club

    comments

    The concept of a “grassroots” motorsport has become warped over the years. To compete at the top levels of something as simple and allegedly affordable as, say, autocross one needs to spend many dollars and countless hours on car preparation. Road racing is largely a playground for the at least moderately wealthy, and even though…

    I received this tip from Tim about a really cool website, ScooterMcRad’s Whatchaworks. This is one of the coolest sites I have seen in a long time, and I thought I would highlight one of his features he does every Friday called Friday Cutaways… Tim described this as cutaway porn, but that is a really…

    No, that’s not a typo as we’re not talking about Nordic folks of diminutive stature. We’re talking about a French oil conglomerate.

As we all know 1970s racing produced no shortage of kickass…

    We love a gorgeously shot, perfectly recorded HD video as much as anyone, but there’s just so much honesty in this slow-cut, grainy, fuzzy ride-around in the lead-up to the ’69 24 Hours of LeMans. Our favorites are the commentary about the new safety on the Mulsanne straight, while off to the left are trees…

  • Son of Killdozer: The Power Wagon Town Panel Is Here

    comments

    Commenter extraordinaire and former DamnElantra owner Jeremy has brought something for show and tell. After reading our post on a certain Power Wagon Town Panel (Town Panel = no windows, Town Wagon = windows), he was smitten. It got away from him once, but thanks to a deadbeat eBayer, he got a second chance. When…
