Volvo C30

DaveT -
While I've only seen a handful of modified Volvo C30s, and I have not explored their aftermarket crowd extensively, I feel safe in saying that this one is near the top of my list of favorites and will be for some time. It's very clean, wears a nice set of wheels and it sits with a awesome raked stance that works great with the lines of the car. What more can I say? I've got love for hatchbacks.

Winter Wednesdays: Caddy plow

DaveT -
Sigh, I don't know what it is about some drivers in this weather (snowed today) but I swear they forget which pedal makes the car go and ride the brake all the way to work. If you don't feel safe on all seasons when it snows get winter tires sheesh. Sorry had to vent a little there, spent some time this morning dodging vehicular pylons. The good news is the snow gives me a reason to post this awesome bagged 68(?) Caddy in the snow.

Theme Tuesdays: Classic Minis

DaveT -
Question: What's small, nimble, a little bigger than a go kart, loved the world over, and can run on motors borrowed from two wheel vehicles as well as four wheel vehicles? Classic Mini's of course! I don't post a whole lot of Mini's around here so a Mini Theme Tuesday has been long over due. However, before I get to posting more of the current generation I've got to give a head nod to the ones that started it all.

Rollin Heavy

DaveT -
Here's a quick before work, pre-Theme Tuesday post to get your day headed in the right direction. Nothing too fancy with this LS400 just another clean, black, dumped, dished Lexus. The more I look at it the more I like it, the factory two tone is working surprisingly well and the chrome trim around the wheels works well with the wheels.

Featured Photographer: Mike McConnell

DaveT -
This isn't the first time I have posted photos from today's featured photographer. Nor is it the second or third time, truth be told a formal feature of the work done by Mike McConell has been long over due. Known as 'Mikejoe' in the Volkswagen scene, where he developed a love for low Beatles and Rabbits, Mr. McConnel's initial photographic focus was German automobiles but since then his horizons have broadened to the point where he needed to move from Ontario to Calgary to swap cityscape for landscape.

How did I not know about this?

DaveT -
When it comes to motor swaps I'm not a purist in the slightest. I've said time, and time, again if a motor from another manufacturer is cheaper, faster, and more reliable than the one that came with your car and it's financially feasible to swap in then swap it in. That being said I had absolutely no idea people put small block Chevy motors in Porsche 911s.When I saw this '75 Porsche 911 with a Chevy small block in it on Night-Import I did a double take.

WTF Friday: I guess that works?

DaveT -
When I was deciding what to post for Friday I considered the obvious, BBS going bankrupt for a second time, but decided I didn't really want to open up the can of worms discussion on whether or not it replicas lead to the current financial situation of a company we love so much. So, I decided to post something I found on There I fixed it instead that is mind boggling that it even works. Maybe next time you get a flat on a road trip you can try this method before getting the spare out of the trunk, then again maybe not.

Datsun

Damn Son

DaveT -
I'm pretty sure this Datsun 510 hunted me down and found me because I wasn't even on a content hunt when I found it. I was just minding my own business, on my laptop, one lazy Sunday afternoon when it leapt of the screen at me. Even though I wasn't looking for it I am glad I found it as it's jumped to upper rankings of my favorite 510s ever built list. SR20 powered, on Works, clean body, and a drive height that looks good and allows it to be driven hard and stay clean? Yeah, I'm a fan.

Crown Deluxe

DaveT -
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.

With any car show you are bound to come across cars that make you go 'huh?' and SEMA was no exception. Today's WTF Friday includes some of the cars, at SEMA that caused that reaction. I am sure there were more I'm sure but I was too distracted by the awesome to pick up on them.

Event Coverage: Vagkraft 2011 Part: 2

DaveT - 9
Vagkraft was actually the first event I went to on Sunday and I had intentions of getting this second half of coverage up and out the door last night so I could get to editing and posting the photos from the second event. However I ended up getting sidetracked editing photos for the next featured ride and before I knew it the entire evening had evaporated.

WTF Fridays: VW Doughnuts

DaveT - 0
Keeping in mind with this weeks Theme Tuesday of unique motor swaps here is a cool one I found via google. A MK2 Golf with a Porsche motor under the hood making it rear wheel drive and capable of doing doughnuts (and if you felt like it drifting). Awesome!
