Every now and then I’ll shoot a car not because it’s technically impressive, but because it’s just so f**king cool. Dan Birkinshaw’s Zeemax Porsche 911 is exactly that. So much so that I’m sure I broke the sound barrier running after it in the halls of Ultimate Dubs 2023, hastily adjusting my camera settings on the […]
Less Is More At Ultimate Dubs
‘Second glance car’ is a name I’ve been using for years. I even made sure to work it into my first ever Speedhunters article back in 2019.
