Climb Dance

"Are you fucking Serious!?" It's my natural response when people tell me they've never heard of Climb Dance. 1988 Pikes Peaks record, and the film won awards at film festivals!!! Educate yourself and pay respect to those of the past, new technology doesn't mean your going fast.


CarBoy, Vintage drifting.

This is a really great series of 3 videos I found on youtube. It graduates from 1990 through 1997 and really shows the progress, development and enthusiasm drifting in Japan has had from the very start.

Canada's role in the Countach.

Walter Wolf, famous F1 team owner, and a Canadian with a taste for the Countach. Apparently he had some special models built that are very rare and collectible! Read about it here and here, oh and here! [caption id="" align="alignnone" width="550" caption="What time is it Mr. Wolf? "Time for a bigger engine and wider wheels!""]What time is it Mr. Wolf?

Loving life on the island.

I've spent a lot of time wandering Victoria over the last couple of days and I can't get over the cars. Young blondes cruising in vintage Thunderbirds, people rolling to work in their TE55's and students in their Citroens?
