Event Coverage: CSCS 2012 Finale – Part: 1

DaveT -
The CSCS season finale is always an exciting event to attend because while some are gunning to set records on the track others are looking to secure year end awards in the show and shine. For myself and several others the excitement began on the way to the track with a surprise emissions/safety spot check by the Ministry of Transportation right off the highway.

Theme Tuesdays: Car Gifs

DaveT -
Since the 'Drifting Gif' Theme Tuesday I've had a bumpercrop of various automotive gifs floating around on my hard drive and today I am going to post all of those that are not racing related. You will probably have to be a little patient and let this one load a minute. I'm sure posting a page of only gifs is not exactly on the list of things to do to decrease page load times.

Drift West Video Coverage

DaveT -
At the end of Mike's Drift West Round 3 coverage I hinted at a video he was working on and a possible SIE premier and now said video is now done, live, and a real treat for the eyes. It's more the certainly worth a few minutes of your time, I've already watched it more than once.

WTF Friday: No Hamsters Were Harmed In The Making Of This Post

DaveT -
Remember two years or so ago when an x5 owner from Thorn Hill went 4x4ing all over two innocent cars at the gym? Hilarious right? Well that scenario is slightly less hilarious when one of the cars used in the makeshift monster truck rally happens to belong to your better half.

Chronicles Of A Club Racer

DaveT -
I just posted this on the fanpage but I figured I should also post it here for those of you who might have facebook blocked at work or just don't bother with it. I'm sure we can all relate to the message behind this video. It's really never too late to get back to doing what you love.

Event Coverage: Roadmates Corn Roast 2012

DaveT -
My friend Keith gave me the heads up on the Roadmates Corn Roast a few Saturdays back so I swung by in the loaner FR-S for about an hour on my way down town with the misses. Similar turnout and atmosphere to last year, less about the cars and more about hanging out amongst cool cars.

Theme Tuesdays: Lettin’ The Sparks Fly: Part 2

DaveT -
Lately a number of people have been subtly (and not so subtly) suggesting that I should make the switch to air. While I have yet to make up my mind one way or the other I will say that the idea of having the ability to lay sparks down whenever I feel like is pretty damn appealing.

Event Coverage: Option JDM 2012

DaveT -
This years Option JDM BBQ took place the same day as Berlin Klassik which put me in the tough position of having to choose between two events that I've never attended before. Like most of life's tough decsions I made this one with my gut and opted to head out to the one with free food which was Option's shindig in Markham.

WTF Friday: Um……k?

DaveT -
A number of crazy creations have graced the  WTF Friday category over the last few years but this might be the most bizarre. This car, which I can only assume used to be a Pontiac based on the wheels and tail lights, looks to be constructed almost completely out of body filler and expandable foam.

Motor Monday: Nashty

A custom chassis, wicked red and black interior and shot of V8 power makes this Nash Rambler incredibly unique.

Crown Deluxe

DaveT - 3
It's funny how in most cases, regardless of the manufacturer, older cars look cooler than the newer ones. The Toyota Crown is no exception. Later models don't look particularly bad but they lack the uniqueness and character of their older first, second, and third generation siblings. This Crown Deluxe doesn't have much done to it visually other than a significant drop but it's styling is reminiscent of some of the I posted not to long ago, and as we've seen before sometimes less is more.

The owner of this 1967 Camaro approached me at a cruise night this summer asking if I was shooting for anyone. Not an uncommon...

WTF Friday: Turn down the suck

DaveT - 7
To most people putting a big blown motor into a Chevy Corvair doesn't make a whole lot of sense (considering it was included in the book "Unsafe At Any Speed") but to at least one builder in the 70s it made perfect sense. Presumably using the logic that if you have to steer a whole lot in a quarter mile you are probably already in trouble Richard Guess stuffed a blown 327 in the his '72.

Ride Low, Park Lower

DaveT - 9
I like air ride, I always have and I always will. With a lot of my favorite cars and trucks riding on air I don't really buy into the idea that static is anymore hardcore than air. Take Jeff for example, I heard him scraping his way down the road to Oktoberfest before I saw him and on the way out he didn't raise his car up past stock height as many would assume, he kept it hammered and left the same way he arrived.
