Over the past couple of weeks, we’ve taken a closer look at what Ultrace 2023 had to offer, which was a lot. Of everything on display around Wrocław Stadium in Poland, it was a rare 510 Datsun 1300 that stood out to me the most. Luckily, I was able to catch up with its owner, George Kostopoulos […]
Built For SEMA, Debuted At Elmia: Magass Design’s Infiniti G37 Coupe
Most US-based custom car builders have, at one point or another, imagined showcasing their hard work at the annual SEMA Show. For builders outside of the United States, it’s the sort of dream that only a few will realise. Christian Magass of Magass Design in Gothenburg, Sweden has a goal: SEMA 2023. And this is the 2010 Infiniti […]
Simplify & Add Style: A Sleek Mk2 VW Scirocco
There’s something about a wedge-shaped car that resonates ‘cool.’ Conceptualised in the ’60s (look up the Lancia Stratos Zero and enjoy), reaching the public in the ’70s but thriving in the ’80s, angular sports cars are synonymous with high-waisted denim, big hair and even bigger attitudes.

Although I’m a religious student of the ‘less-is-more’ philosophy to car modification, there’s something about balls-to-the wall builds like this pair that will surely appeal to the inner child in all […]
Let’s Talk About Ultimate Dubs 2023…
Ultimate Dubs 2023 Well, ladies and gentlemen, we’ve survived the Ultimate Dubs weekend.

Are Modified Classics Finally Being Taken Seriously?
Out of all the different car communities in the UK, there’s one specific group of people that take themselves an awful lot more seriously than the others: British classic car enthusiasts.
