It's Not Just for The Nickels: LeMons Trophies!
/
/
comments
Jeff Glenn is not just high-ranking member of the LeMons ruling cabal, he’s also responsible for some of the best trophies in the Hooniverse. Honestly, it’s worth making the trip out to a LeMons race just to check these things out in person. The level of detail and absurdity of the parts involved surely merits…

comments
Here’s a promotional video for the 700+ horsepower Hennessey CTS-V doing some quarters while testing. The in-car video is pretty good, but what makes it even better is that the brutal acceleration triggers the OnStar® accident warning and dials up a friendly operator who, like all OnStar® operators, exhibits a sweet southern drawl while making…

Ode to the Pinto

comments
And now for something completely different. I get songs stuck in my head a lot. As I do, they tend to morph into new songs based on the things I see around me. Sometimes I write them down. Usually, when I do, people ask me not to.

Fear not, fellow hoonigans. This site’s creed shall always be firmly about the weird, the wacky, the wild, the wonderful, the wandering, the unloved, the plebeian, and the occasionally truly WTF (which usually hail from Canada it seems).

In Friday’s Name That Part, our resident Borg, p161911, came up with the answer quite quickly, clearly identifying the brake master cylinder from a 1964 Jaguar E-type. Good for him!

Six Toy: Tyrrell P34 Attacks Monaco
/

comments
Remember the days when motorsports wasn’t all about “parity” or “the show,” and wacky, out-of the-box thinking was not only allowed but celebrated? I do (just), and one of the cars that absolutely typify this era is Derek Gardner’s magnum opus of ingenuity, the Tyrrell P34 F1 car, campaigned in 1976 and ’77.

comments
It’s easy to forget that both Carrol Shelby and Enzo Ferrari legitimately earned their credibility by kicking ass on the track in the cars that went on become auto-erotica staples. We mock them or the identities their brands have acquired over the years, but rewind the clock to the mid 60s and the whole story…
