    I’ll be honest… I’ve been looking for any excuse to post something related to mountain biking, but I can’t just cram in non-auto stuff on Hooniverse.

    It’s been two months since we’ve last heard from Bad Obsession Motorsport. The duo are busy with other cars, racing, and life, but that doesn’t mean they’re not thinking about their beloved Project Binky. That would be the classic Mini body set atop a GT-Four Celica chassis. If you haven’t been following along, you need…

    Each wheel and tire weighs 500 pounds. That’s according to Mr. Regular who got to sample the mighty M35 2 1/2-ton truck. It was built in 1970 and this example cost the owner just $3,500. It wasn’t running at the time, but now it’s up and moving and this is a deep dive into what…

    Little bit of @singervehicles onboard in the DLS development mule. pic.twitter.com/T6j8QsnwPu — chris harris (@harrismonkey) September 26, 2018 This is a mental car. Chris Harris is up to the task of taming it though, or at least hanging on for dear life as he puts the reimagined Porsche 911 through a vigorous workout. The car…

  • If you own a Lancia Stratos, drive it like this owner does

    The first thing that catches your attention is the noise. It’s raucous. It’s loud. It’s chest thumping. Once the car enters your field of vision though, your eyes do the rest of the heavy lifting. The car is a white wedge that’s hurtling toward you at a great clip. The car is sideways with the…

    Much like the Festival of Speed before it, we can’t help but devour every bit of video that arrives from Goodwood. Earlier today we showed you a pair of open-wheel racers dicing it up.

    comments

    The racing at the Goodwood Revival is real. This is a place that’s been transported back in time and the expensive metal is being thrashed as if the results mattered. They do matter, of course, to the ones doing the wheeling but there are no prizes being won. It’s all for glory here at the…
