comments
[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jhuQTDbguI[/youtube] BMW has been on an… interesting path the last few years. They still occasionally toss out that “Ultimate Driving Machine” but their lineup suggests they should consider going with something else.

Roadblocks are aplenty in my build… the years it’s taken to get this far are sure to make that abundantly clear. But nevertheless we are making progress on my 1968 Twin-Turbocharged Eleanor GT500 and it should be fit for road duty soon. As you will see from the video (posted after the jump), the main issue…

A 2.1 liter, turbocharged, 1,000 horsepower 4-cylinder monster of a hill climb tube-chassis racecar truck. In the late 90’s in the prime of the dirt track layout of The Pikes Peak International Hillclimb this Tacoma was the king, dominating the 1998-99 “Race to the Clouds” event. I remember playing Gran Turismo 2 and running up…

Here’s the scenario… I’m at an open house surrounded by about $100 million worth of vintage iron. I’ve seen my first Porsche 904 Carrera GTS, an original 1973 911 2.7 RS, a 1969 Lamborghini 400 GT Islero S, and an absolutely gorgeous 1965 Aston Martin DB5 Superleggera.

Hoonivercinema: Best Motoring Super Battle
/
/
comments
I’m a huge Best Motoring fan and I was deeply saddened when they closed their doors in 2011. The variation that the Best Motoring International series offered, from the Track and Touge Battles to Gymkhana runs, was a more enthusiast-minded environment than the comparable fact driven Motorweek.

Way back when in the time Independence Day was the top movie in the box office and the Macarena was permanently burned into our memories, I was perfecting my skills in driving a manual transmission. I first learned when I was 14 on a 1984 Maserati Biturbo that my father had at the time. I…

With other SoCal automotive events such as Supercar Sunday and Donuts and Derelicts, local weekend meetings have quickly become the norm for automotive enthusiasts.
