Saw this some time ago in a newspaper article and it made me smile 🙂
If the engine hadn’t been invented you could well imagine this rolling off the production line for the wealthy to tie it up to their thoroughbread horses and trott off to the opening night of the opera!
All you would then have to do is find a way to turbo charge and Nitro a horse and we’d be in business LOL
Just a little something different for a Friday, Enjoy
He’s back tearing it up better than ever! What a man, who cares if it’s rehearsed and staged i love these videos from Ken, Monster  and the DC Shoes team.
Keep up the good (kind of an understatement there) work
Well this is a breath a fresh air, the thought that parents are actually setting their kids off  on the right foot by teaching them the essential skills of oversteer and opposite lock 🙂
Now Allan McNish is one LUCKY Scotsman to have managed to walk away from a horrific crash like this. I have an interest in photography and of course the main subject I’m interested in is cars but I think I would have to be excused to change my pants if I’d been on that corner snapping away!! What a lucky escape by one and all, Driver, Marshalls and Paparazzi alike, but how gutting is it to see a beautiful Audi R18 come to its dimise like that (at least it died doing what it loved).
Two brothers from Hungerford, Sam & Olly Young, Â have not only managed to piece together a fully working electric car from a 1965 VW Beetle shell and an old milk float but they have by some amazing feat managed to make it go from 0-60 in 1.6 secs, it can eat a 1/4 mile in less than 10 secs (9.51 to be exact) and it crossed the finish line doing 135mph!!
Now I don’t know about you but I think there would be a rather large queue at the dairy when they advertised a vacancy as a float driver if these boys where the mechanics there!! I know I’d love to have a go, the acceleration must be amazing and the whole experience quite surreal as I associate fast-moving motor vehicles (dragsters being at the top of this thought pile) to be loud but this Black Tarmac eating Machine has a very quaint hum about it.
The long and short of it is I want a Morris Minor version please LOL
Rhys Millen is well established as one of the Top Drifters outside of Japan but back in 2008 he decided that if a motocross bike can do it twice and a BMX can do it three times, why the hell can’t i get a truck to do a backflip!!
Now this is a drifting party trick, a short but beautiful wall ride with the pièce de résistance of clipping a coke bottle off the top of the wall at the end with his spoiler
LEGEND
When I first started to watch this I almost had to tell my self it was not a scene from a Bond film. I don’t really like the new Clubman but this definitely puts it in a more favourable light!!!
Both Monster and RedBull seem to have that Midas touch!
Ken Block does indeed put on a great show but Mike Ryan just takes it to a whole new level in his 1,950 horsepower (more than 3,400 pound-feet of torque) Pike Peak truck weighing in at about 10’000 pounds (or about 4.5 tons to us Brits). Sit back and enjoy (takes a few min to get into it bu then the tyre smoking started)
There has been an influx of new versions of some of the classic cars coming onto the market in the past few years, I believe this to be because cars are all starting to look the same as they seem to be designed on ergonomics dictated by the number of seats, task the vehicle is to carry out, safety and the wind tunnel and less on aesthetics alone then bolting all the needed items to it. This look into the past and bringing the old bang up to date is something i think should be done more and more but they don’t always get it right, even though they don’t always hit their mark i give them all 10 out of 10 for effort.
In my search I also came across many cars that have evolved over the years, making some real leaps in the right direction with many a turn in the wrong but nearly always ending up with something that either looks or has the ethos of that original idea, the flame becoming a roaring fire with followers in each and every generation it spawned.
