Your mind will try and reject this video – it simply looks wrong and, at first, you will assume it is being played backwards. It isn’t. This strangely spectacular accident happened in practice for the GP3 round at Spa this weekend. The driver, 20 year-old Konstantin Tereshchenko, was making his debut when he decided that his […]
Timaru in 1975 is the location for this week’s BLAST – Brett Riley in the Begg JM1, the car built mostly by Jim Murdoch to George Begg’s design. Thanks to Terry Marshall!
Silverstone Auctions is set to put “one of Europe’s finest collections of road going classic cars to come to market” on the block at The Salon Privé Sale on September 4th in London. Henry Pearman, the founder and CEO of Eagle (apparently “the world’s premier” Jaguar E-Type specialist, and looking at their website, we would have […]

This week’s BLAST comes from Pukekohe in 1981 where David Oxton in the Ralt RT4 leads the Ralt RT1s of Steve Millen and Dave McMillan. Many thanks to the talented Terry Marshall for this great pic!
While we would like to think that arrests in the 1970s by American cops were all tyre-howling car chases and improbable gun battles where no-one runs out of ammo, that just wasn’t the case. Basically, Hollywood lied to us… This wonderfully retro video shows us exactly how a police officer should stop and arrest a […]
Hear the one about the man who put a BMW V10 and Porsche GT3 brakes in a Volvo? No?
