No bridge? No problem. Getting across that pesky raging torrent without the aid of a handy bridge would be a bit of a problem in any other country. But not Russia. Just attach the car to a Flying Fox and fire it across that way. Problem solved. Although, you would think the sort of people […]

This week’s thoroughly awesome Blast from the Past pic from Terry Marshall is the legendary Red Dawson in his Chevrolet Monza at Timaru in 1976. Enjoy!
At a ceremony held at Auckland’s Viaduct Events Centre last night the AA and New Zealand Motoring Writers’ Guild announced the New Zealand Car of the Year was the Volkswagen Golf. The Golf beat out nine other finalists to take the crown including the Subaru BRZ, the sister car to 2012’s Car of the Year, […]
This is brilliant. The wonderfully talented and passionate Antti Kalhola has just done another video that perfectly explains WHY F1 drivers race using just archival footage and perfectly judged quotes. It is compulsory viewing if you have forgotten why you love Formula One. Six minutes of pure awesome.
Because it is so utterly ridiculous (and awesome) here is a small photo gallery of the Veneno aircraft carrier launch for you to enjoy. And possibly print out and stick on your wall, if you are a 13 year-old boy. Or perhaps a 41 year-old man with a very strong inner 13 year-old boy… Also, […]
The Lamborghini Veneno is utterly ridiculous. So it is completely fitting that it was debuted in the most ridiculous way possible: in Abu Dhabi, on an aircraft carrier. The “reveal” (of a car we have already seen literally millions of pictures of) took place on an Italian aircraft carrier (Italy has a navy?) Nave Covour yesterday […]
Check out this video of an utterly incredible Hot Rod called Double Trouble. It is a 1927 Ford Model T sitting on a custom-built 1.5-inch tube chassis. It is powered by TWO 4.6-litre Ford modular V8s with FOUR, yep that’s right, FOUR superchargers that produce an approximate power output of around 900kW!! And it is built […]
Welcome a resurrected “Blast from the Past” section. Previously we ran tests of classic cars under this banner (and would love to start doing so again – so if anyone is keen to rattle off a few words about their own, or a mate’s classic then drop us a line!) but now we have re-jigged […]
Fictional news legend Ron Burgundy has been pushing the Dodge Durango lately. We LOVE the videos (They are here, here and here). Dodge Durango sales are up 59 percent. Ron gives his REAL opinion on the car on Conan O’Brien. Suckers…
More fantastic Terry Marshall shots – this time from the Lady Wigram Revival meeting at Ruapuna. The legendary Kenny Smith took out the Lady Wigram Trophy for the fifth time and seems to be immortal. He isn’t getting slower, that’s for sure!
