It goes without saying that my entire 2022 Nürburgring 24 Hour experience was unforgettable, but as with any trip there are highlights that stood above the rest. For this post, I’m going to share with you 10 of the most ...
Before Covid temporarily put an end to VW Days’ 20-year run after the 2019 event, I had attended the yearly get-together in France for the previous three years straight. To say I’d simply become fond of this annual pilgrimage across the English Channel ...
Back to 2019 The beauty of the BMW E36 is its simplicity. One of the last analog-feel cars produced, I’ve really enjoyed Project 345 over the past few years and roughly 10,000 miles together. Not only is it fun to drive on a winding back road, ...
You’ve not lived until you’ve experienced a Mercedes-AMG GT3 heading directly towards you at triple-digit speeds, V8 snarling at full throttle. I still can’t tell if I made eye contact with the driver, or if I was just on his ...
A Younger Crowd Last weekend, Pleasanton, California played host to the Goodguys Rod & Custom Association’s 27th annual Summer Get-Together. Overcast skies perfect for shooting, a comfortable 75° outside (that’s ~24° for those of you who use a sensible measurement system), and a plethora of ...
Motorsport has been slowly returning in South Africa over the last year, but mostly without spectators. Now though, with Covid restrictions becoming more relaxed – as they are in many countries across the world – bigger racing events can be ...
If you’ve clicked on this article, chances are you have seen Chay’s main coverage of this year’s Retro Rides Weekender. In that report, Chay covered where the show came from, and what it looks like today. My favourite thing about the Weekender is that, ...
Californians have always loved Toyotas. The Japanese automaker company laid down its American roots here, and local love for the brand has not waned since. It only makes sense then, that the Toyota Owners and Restorers Club (T.O.R.C.) would hold its big event in the Golden ...
Although I’ve been enjoying Dino’s Porsche parlour and Toby’s al fresco engineering on Speedhunters lately, it’s past due time for a Project NSX update. There’s a bit of everything in this one – some hefty weight reduction, a bit of chassis stiffening, a touch ...
I’ve never been bungy jumping or BASE jumping, or any other form of extreme jumping-out-of-or-onto sports that adrenalin junkies seem to rave about. It’s not that I’m not up for the rush; I’m just terrified of heights. I couple of weekends ...
For a split second there is an eerie silence. The ferocious exhaust note fades into the distance and the spatters of anti-lag drown out. In the click of a finger, daylight becomes a soupy haze as a barrage of stones ...
If there are two words that sum up the Retro Rides Weekender and the associated web forum from which it has evolved, they would be inclusivity and variety. To understand how it has become such a popular event in the ...
If you’re a BMW fan, then you’re probably going to enjoy this post. After a two-year hiatus and a venue change, people from all over Europe made the trip to Raceway Venray in the south of Holland for BimmerFest 2022. The venue ...
I’ll save any smart introductions and just say this: I have never experienced a car show quite like XS CarNight before. A quick browse of their Instagram and you might think that XS is a subtle affair, what with minimalistic post ...
Ah Japan, where the narrow streets are packed tightly with stock kei cars and minivans, each one even more dull than the next. It’s the automotive equivalent of grandad reading the Financial Times on Sunday while wearing beige trousers and eating ...
For my final look at Wekfest Japan 2022, I wanted to give you a comprehensive feel for what this show is all about. It’s hard to fully understand just how vast it is unless I show you as much as I can, so I’ve ...
I recently had the pleasure of attending one of my favorite motor-oriented events – One Moto Show. Organized by See See Motor Coffee Co. this one of the world’s best-known custom motorcycle shows, and for good reason. For me, this year’s ...
In 2019, Toronto’s Motorama Custom Car & Motorsports Expo – the show I’ve been walking you through the past two weeks – decided to disrupt their happy family with a new addition called Mayhem. This aspect of the event is dedicated solely to traditional hot ...
It’s been pretty crazy how many events we’ve hit up during the course of May, but one that I’d really been looking forward to getting out to was the Mooneyes Street Car Nationals. Nothing can match the spectacle of seeing thousands of customized vehicles in all ...
Air travel sucks at the best of times, regardless of what class you’re flying. In this case, flying sucks twice as hard. For one, the airport bus we were trapped in during pre-departure was as humid as a boxer’s arm ...
Zoom Out Just over a year ago, the One Moto Show in Portland was the last event Sara and I attended before varying degrees of lockdown settled in. Last weekend, both fresh out of the vaccination clinic, we were glad ...
What makes an event so special that you’re willing to travel across the globe to be there? An event that that really has no equal in the Western Hemisphere seems like a good reason to me. Welcome to The Race Of ...
Any build that’s based around a succinct combination of concepts always seems to turn out the best. Seek inspiration, and stick to it. The foundation for Royal-T Racing’s Landspeed Dyna was born when Luke DiCiurio and Patrick Tilbury asked themselves, ...
Welcome To Our World “It’s just all about the rush, the excitement and the freedom, y’know. You, the bike and the road. Nothing else in your head. Everything for those few minutes is in your hands. Want to go faster? ...
What comes to mind when you think of motorcycle culture? Maybe plaid, leather, and beards? Or perhaps coffee, mullets, mustaches, and beer? Cheetah print and tongue-in-cheek lumberjack vibes might also be synonymous with motorcyclists. Add in a little rock ‘n’ roll, pizza, and ...
For most people, the ideal summer beach weekend in Italy would be swimming in a warm blue sea and sunbathing on soft sand. Then there are those who attend and compete in the Roll & Flat Venice Beach Race. Italy ...
There’s a motorcycle shop in Los Angeles, California with some very special bikes, and if you’re reading this you’ll definitely appreciate them. Rewind a second and I’ll explain myself a bit. I’m Mark Boxer and I’m a motorcycle tragic. In the ...
Welcome To Daytona In January, I received an intriguing email: “American Flat Track would love to invite you to an exclusive media program where you will be trained by a professional athlete on how to ride an actual flat track ...
“I’d have gone even quicker to be honest, but the wind caused a bit of a wobble, so I eased off.” Read in isolation, that is the basis of nearly every motorsport story. ‘I’d have done even better, if only ...
Rich In Thrills Flat track racing is America’s oldest organized motorsport on two wheels, yet Speedhunters has never delved into it before. That isn’t entirely surprising given our long-standing focus on four-wheeled machinery, as well as the fact that we’ve ...
History First You know how the sounds and stimulation of a city can overwhelm your senses? Its details blur together until something out of the norm happens — someone with a special sort of vibe grabs your eye. You pause ...
No Crash Protection If you were disappointed in my lack of attention towards the two-wheeled machines at Southern California’s Japanese Classic Car Show last weekend, I’ll make it up to you right now. Modifying bikes is by no means anything new, and it ...
Welcome Back To The Show The 2021 One Moto Show was intoxicating, and not just because of the See See Lager that was flowing. Months without attending a machine-oriented event left me feeling hungry as hell, and this year’s motorcycle ...
Over To You They tell us a picture is worth a thousand words, but that picture can only share a fraction of a second of the full story, and usually only the final result. Within the realms of modified cars ...
Welcome to the epitome of Japanese underground car culture. Kaido racers, dekotora, bosozoku and their bikes, and the king pimp daddy of them all Morohoshi and his flashy Lamborghini Aventador. This may all look and sound like something out of a movie ...
Art On Bikes The One Moto Show is an awesome collaboration of efforts, and it’s amazing to see so much creativity packed into one small space. Really, the space selected for the 2021 show was huge, but if you consider ...
When I reminisce and paint the pictures of where I’ve been, motorcycles have always been in the background of those life-altering moments. My parents rode away from their wedding on my grandfather’s Servi-Car Harley-Davidson: a motorcycle he had taken to ...
Welcome to the future, or at least a very unconventional two-wheeled view of it, courtesy of Kenny Yeoh. This bike captured my attention the moment I walked into Art Of Speed on the first day of the Malaysian event. Sitting low and stretched ...
Motorcycles make up a massive part of Indonesia’s automotive scene, so it’s no surprise that custom bike culture is enjoyed by many in this part of the world. One of the reason why motorcycles and scooters are so popular in Indonesia is because navigating the busy ...
If you cast your mind back a few months you’ll remember that we teamed up with Nigel Petrie of Engineered to Slide to announce that Speedhunters would start looking into the two-wheeled world. You may also remember that Nigel was ...
