No zipties in sight

This is probably the cleanest 240sx I have posted in a long, long time. While I've got nothing against cars that get used on the track and wear their battle scars with pride its also always nice to see a car that's super clean with no panel damage or zip ties keeping the body pieces on. This one was shot my Emilio at TWOLITREmedia and as soon as I saw the set I asked permission to re-post them because I love both the photos and the car.

Theme Tuesdays: More Volvos

A couple days ago when moving my dad out of his place I found a picture of myself in front of his once prized Volvo, then later in the week when my visiting mom I noticed my her neighbor recently picked up a a C30 which we chatted about for awhile. Those two run ins meant I had Volvos on the brain so I figured why not keep that going a little bit more with these I had sitting on my hard drive from the last time I did a Volvo Theme Tuesday.

Service Review: Curbed wheel repair

The wheels I purchased for the 2011 season were in the need of a little bit of TLC. There were blemishes on the painted faces, corrosion on the bolt heads, and rash on the lips. Shortly after I started work on one wheel I found out that Work uses clear anodizing on their lips which meant I had to spend more time sanding at harsher grits than I had hoped, and outsourcing the entire job an attractive alternative.

Put it all on purple

It's a good thing I am not really a gambling man (I don't consider lucking out at slots to be gambling) because if I walked into a casino and said 'put it all on purple' people would realize very quick I have no idea what I am doing. However if I had some money to throw behind Canadian drift teams one of them would be Drift Union. Awesome guys with great cars and even better attitudes. Check out the 2011 lineup.

WTF Friday: Not so furious?

I've got to say I am pretty surprised that no one saw anything too crazy at the Fast Five Premieres in their respective areas. Perhaps it's a sign of car modification trending towards cleaner, simpler, mods, or maybe it's just a sign that I should have put a better prize up for submitting photos 😛 Anyway no big deal, the show must go on so I have some perplexing cars from the same thread I got this gem of a car from.

Travelling Ryvers

Chances are that unless you bought your wheels new they have a bit of a back story behind them. With the amount of wheel whoring going on in the scene it is not uncommon for wheels to pass through many sets of hands before and after their current owner. Most times we never really get to know what happens to our wheels after we sell them or where they were before we got them.

No Mercy.

I feel bad for people that can't appreciate a wide variety of vehicles because I couldn't imagine ever calling myself a car enthusiast and not liking something as magnificent as this Nova. The only thing I find harder to imagine is building a car like this then going on to sell it.

Event Coverage: SGR Advanced Driver Training

A few months ago in the dead of winter I got to participate in a Sweetie Girl Racing Advance Driver Training event at Toronto Motorsports Park - Cayuga. The event gave me the opportunity to knock driving on a road course off my bucket list. In addition to popping my track virginity the course also served as a way for me to learn a few valuable tips for daily driving as its main focus is to make everyone involved a better overall driver, and not turn everyone into race car drivers.

Theme Tuesdays: Pinup Girls

Pinup style models, (and Rockabilly - esque) women are something I never really see at shows around here, even the classic ones I go to. Whenever I see photos of them online I'm a fan for two reasons the first is because it's something different than your typical yoga pants and bikini top fare, and the second is that wherever a pin up style model is a bad ass classics is never too far behind.

Event Coverage: Importfest 2012 – Part: 1

I've heard people grumbling on message boards that car shows going the way of the dodo due to people showing up to parking lot meets in record numbers but anyone who was at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre on Saturday knows that is simply not true. Meets will always have their place but shows like Importfest are not going anywhere. Proof of this was that at any given time there was a huge line of people waiting to get inside to check out the show.

Event Coverage: Mosport DMCC 2012: Finals

Moving right along to the finals from this past weekends Canada Day DMCC Drift celebration at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park. For the finals I was lucky enough to score a media pass from my friend Trevor at tdott.me which allowed me to take photos from the infield.

Event Coverage: Import Expo 2012

Import Expo is now in it's third year of operation (and I believe fourth event) and while previous shows took place in the middle of summer this years served as the unofficial show season close out event. Having never attended an Import Expo event before I went in with an open mind knowing that this one wouldn't be quite on the same level as their summer shows I had heard great things about.
