Skoty Chops

Some of you might remember me posting a photo of this dropped and chopped model A coupe on the fan page a few weeks ago. I had felt like as though I was lacking some classic metal in my life so I took to crawling the H.A.M.B. That Hokey Ass Message Board always delivers the goods and this ride built by Skoty Chops is no exception.

Theme Tuesdays: Subaru Clearance Sale Part II

Is it a coincidence that the Subarus I am posting today are essentially the complete opposite of the one I posted yesterday? Kind of. Last night after watching the Leafs game I didn't feel much like finishing up some of the more obscure Theme Tuesday ideas I have in the works (ps3 was calling) so I decided to liberate some of the Subarus I've had saved for a while. I seem to always have an overabundance of Subarus on my hard drive anyway.

Crazy Leo: Living The Dream

Last Monday Chris Pereira (of the Canadian Sport Compact Series) invited me to locally renowned Subaru tuning shop Can Jam Motorsports to meet 2011 Rally of The Tall Pines winner “Crazy” Leo Urlichich. After a quick stop off at home for a bite to eat and my camera gear I headed back out to Richmond Hill to meet up with Chris who introduced me to Leo. Following a handshake and brief small talk Leo decided I had hung around long enough to meet Beast.

It's been a minute since I have posted a straight forward slammed S2000 with wheels that sit comfortably inside the fenders. With the S2000 people are quick to push the boundaries of what is possible in regards to aggressive fitment but this owner took a step back and spun the dial back around to where everything all started: Nice wheels with big drop.

WTF Friday: Good Sir I Think You Have Had Enough

I'm all for one of a kind bodies on top of existing platforms because people have done incredible things with this formula for years. Sadly (in my opinion) this particular example might be the worst thing to happen to the outside of a C3 Corvette since Corvette Summer. This once Vette known as the Scorpion (not to be confused with the Skorpion) is the result of 6 years of work and made up of a combination of fiberglass and hand crafted sheet metal. The craftsmanship seems to be there but the eye for an appealing end result? Not so much.

Featured Photographer: Nathan Powers

Nathan originally submitted his work a few months ago but due to a very busy event and feature season it took a little bit longer than usual to make it up on the site. Now that things have calmed down I am very happy to have the opportunity to present a small sampling of the work done by this quick learning, self taught, Gainsville Florida native.

Lost Coverage: Meeting of the Mazdas 2011

M.O.M is an event that prior to attending I had heard nothing but good things about and with Stance East making the trek from New Brunswick to attend both M.O.M and Importfest I figured 2011 was as good a year as any to attend for the first time. Besides someone had to show Will around. M.O.M. was an extremely laid back, quiet, outdoor, event, the complete opposite of Importfest the day before and exactly what those of us who had been at IF needed (in addition to sleep).

Not Quite Winter Wednesday

Go figure that the day I finally decide to post these photos of Neil's bagged MKV in winter mode it starts to snow a little here in the Toronto. Neil basically got the jump on all of us this year in regards to winter preparation because his car has been setup like this since September. Though if my winter mode looked this good I wouldn't feel too bad about being extra early with the switch over either.

Theme Tuesdays: Nissan 300zx (z32)

Back in high school (grade 11ish) a classmate picked up a 300zx and my first thoughts were how the hell did he afford that, and how long will it be before he wrecks it. I never did figure out how he got the coin to buy one but I do recall lending a hand replacing the clutch about two weeks after he got the car. Rumor has it not long after that it was wrapped around a pole or hopped a curb, whatever the case I never saw it again.

WTF Friday Answer: VW karmann ghia and…

On Friday I posted 2 cars and asked wtf they were. Mike Burroughs from StanceWorks correctly guessed the second car as a VW karman ghia which is a neat little coupe produced by VW from 1955 to 1974. However what was the second boxy looking vehicle? Well...

Winter Wednesdays: ’tis the season

I met Patrick through Gillbert of the Scraped Crusaders. Pat is the type that does whatever he wants to his car regardless of whether or not other people are going to like it. If he likes it, it's done. I've seen this car a few times and the only constants are that it's always low and always has lots of stickers, other than that it's never the same twice.

Awesomeo Powa!

Quick Saturday post, my friend Devon put me on this 8 second boosted m20 powered e30 that can barley keep its front wheels on the ground. Wild.

Theme Tuesdays: Sick S2000s: 2

Time for me to purge my hard drive of 90% of the s2000 pictures I have saved because it's becoming hard to remember which I have posted and which I have not. I'll admit when s2000s first came out I wasn't all about them but, as the years go by and more people let loose on them the more I dig.

WTF Friday: Hayabusa Powered Bradley GT

Take one Volkswagen Beetle based kit car and one Suzuki Hayabusa power plant and you've to a WTF Friday recipe for fun.
