Saturday Shenanigans If you caught my first post from Gatebil Rudskogen 2023, you’ll already know that the event’s first two days were exceptional. Saturday? Well, I could tell from the exhaust noise alarm that woke me, it was going to be another wild one. With Thursday being very wet, it was cool seeing Gatebil in […]
Engulfed In Smoke At Gatebil Rudskogen
On Thursdays, It Rains Ah… Gatebil Rudskogen. There is no other automotive event in Scandinavia that can fill my lungs with tire smoke and leave my body broken like this one can. This is where it’s at, but if you missed it, I’m here to help. Now that I can finally breathe fresh air again, it’s […]
The Perfect Nissan Silvia: Nob Taniguchi’s Iconic S15
‘Timeless’ is a word that’s commonly thrown around in the car world. Often, it’s used to identify cars that came to exist as a result of the golden era of Japanese tuning. In saying this, it is quite uncommon for a car to have not just been considered timeless, but to have retained the modifications that gave it […]
A C33 Laurel Labour Of Love
We all have the perfect vision of our favourite cars. For some, it’s totally clear-cut. For others, the perfect vision is something not set in stone; it evolves over time as fresh ideas come to mind and new opportunities present themselves. Jay, the owner of this street/drift-spec C33 Nissan Laurel, definitely subscribes to the latter. When Jay purchased […]
The Next Level Of Ultrace
Let me ask you a straight forward question: What is your favourite part of a car show? Bar catching up with my friends, I think watching the cars roll in and out of the venue has to be a highlight. Our project cars are meant to be used and driven, so naturally there’s something super satisfying […]
The Organised Chaos That Is Dori Dore
It’s easy to become desensitised to a lot of the events I get to go to here in Japan, but every now and then I catch myself being completely blown away. This is one of those rare times. First let’s set the scene. Dori Dore happens just few times a year, but only once at the iconic […]
The Golden Age Of JDM Street Style Is Now For This S15
There are many ways to build a car. Some projects happen out of opportunity and convenience, some out of a strict set of rules and standards, and others purely out of a love for a specific subculture. Dan’s S15 Nissan Silvia Spec-R is a curated mix of the above, which he looks back at with […]
Bangin’ Doors On A Budget: An Icelandic Drift Cressida
Iceland is full of surprises. For the last couple of years, I’ve unintentionally managed to coincide visits back home with local drifting events. So the last time I travelled to Iceland, I made sure to take my camera gear with me. Drifting doesn’t have a huge following in Iceland, but those who compete are a […]
The Gripped Up MX-5s – Speedhunters
The Mazda MX-5 – AKA Miata or Roadster – is a pillar of automotive fun. A back-to-basics driving experience focusing sharply on driver engagement, with a realistic barrier for entry giving the everyman a chance to feel like Schumacher… or in our case, the chance to feel like the Drift King himself. Our story starts in 2017, with a […]
