It feels like I should have posted this truck before, but from what I can tell I have not. I am probably getting it confused with other small vehicles like a Nash Metropolitan or this 'Postman Pat' car, at any rate this custom truck is pretty damn cool.

My girlfriend grew up in a small town near London called Dorchester and would spend many a weekend at the Grand Bend Motorplex, her fond memories of the venue had me looking forward to going for the first time at last Sundays 'Beach Burnout' event hosted by CSCS. While like all CSCS events (when it doesn't rain) it was a good time I think the turnout was definitely hindered by the fact that Grand Bend is quite a ways from the city, which is a shame because Grand Bend is a great race facility with reportedly one of the fasted quarter miles around and has food far superior to Cayuga.

The inability to be in more than one place at a time is starting to become a problem, I had a great time at last years Truck And Tuner Expo and would have liked to attend again this year but I had never been to Grand Bend prior to Sunday so I ended up there instead. However the Nine O Five guys have always been very supportive of the site so there was absolutely no way I was going to let the show go by without some guest coverage and as luck would have it my friend Jon O was close enough to Niagara to head out for a couple of hours.

Two Saturdays ago Scarborough Scion (aka the dealership trusting enough to let me test drive an FR-S at Stretch & Poke) had a launch party for the 'Toybaru" inviting Toyota/Scion owners and their friends to come out for good times and good (free) food. The show & shine turnout wasn't crazy but the amount of people who wanted to drive the new Scion was, the cars were out being test driven the entire night by those eager to see what all the hype was about.

It used to be that modified trucks did a few things; went up and off road, down and layed sparks, or dropped and down the strip. Lately however people seem to be experimenting with wider wheel and tire setups in addition to sending them around road courses. Based on the demand and love for Oliver's truck on the fanpage and positive reception of Riley's drifting Nissan Hardbody it's safe to say a lot of you are into trucks outside of the norm just as much I am which is cool because I love low trucks of any variety.

Previously featured photographer, Dormimoto Odd Couple homie, Static Motion owner and proprietor, and all around good guy Santiago (Santi) Gomez recently sent in some photos of his completed Supermade Silvia project. The car was super clean when he got it and every since stock has only improved on the car with the current revision perhaps being the best yet.

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.

Last year, in the Nextmod BBQ event coverage, I got called out by a local Kia Soul owner for hardly ever posting Kias. This struck me as odd because the SIE support vehicle (aka my girlfriends car) and I have actually looked into lowering but the aftermarket support for that platform is just so limited which is why most stay stock and thus don't appear here.

I love when international readers send in their rides (the further away from Canada and the US the better) because it is always cool to see which trends make it internationally and which don't. Bruce and Jay from the Philippines recently sent in some photos of their rides along with a few of the people in their crew and they are quite nice.
