    I’m in Santa Cruz this weekend for Porsche 912 Rendezvous. Something that is ostensibly “work”. I go every year, and it’s always a great time. This year over 50 cars are attending. Anyhow, our car show is this weekend in Canepa’s parking lot, so we dropped by Canepa this afternoon after lunch just to check…

    Just because he’s racing a 78-year-old Sparks Thorne Little Six around one of the most intimidating tracks in the world doesn’t mean he has any intention of going easy. Nobody there did. [Image © 2016 Hooniverse/Greg Kachadurian – full size]

    BMW is the featured marque at the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion taking place this week at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. Upwards of seventy BMWs will be on track at some point during the four days of on-track action and several of those were brought out by BMW themselves. Classic race cars that have been seldom seen…

    I took this picture at the top of the Corkscrew last weekend at the Monterey Motorsports Pre-Reunion weekend. It’s one of my favorites, as it shows just the kind of elevation change that Laguna Seca is known for. This rare little Porsche 4-cam powered Elva is one of twenty built and it’s being thrashed as…

    When a friend’s daughter recently got married, she and her new husband were whisked away from the church in this Jaguar stretch. I was simultaneously aghast and kinda jazzed at the uniqueness of it. From the general concept to the execution, such as the missing side molding on the added section between the doors, it…

    This is the 2017 Corvette Grand Sport and that’s me behind the wheel. I like to pretend I know what I’m doing, but this car felt great out there. Full video of the First Drive coming soon.

    I attended the Goodwood Festival of Speed a few weekends ago. There were lots of amazing cars, but this Galaxie has stuck in my brain. The driver was pushing it hard up the hill and it sounded amazing. It also looked perfectly out of place, which made me love it even more.

    If they hadn’t been as busy developing the Lexus brand at the time Toyota may have gone ahead and built a production version of the technologically advanced 4500GT concept car. And for that, I would like to say… thank you Lexus! Image: CarStyling.ru

    I recently helped a friend shoot a video for his website. This was the subject of that video. I could barely squeeze into the driver’s seat… but I did get in there, and I put about 5 miles on this machine. I’d still take a Daytona Coupe over one, but it was a pretty damn…

    While you’re probably pretty aggravated at Volkswagen for their dumb-ass diesel scandal, just imagine how pissed you’d be if they had actually offered this for sale. Image: AutoExpressUK
