We head back to the mighty NZ Saloons for this week’s Blast – Jack Nazer in the Victor/Chevrolet known as Miss Victorious. In this Terry Marshall shot Nazer leads Grant Walker in the Cologne Capri at Levels Raceway in Timaru. There is a thoroughly excellent article on Nazer and Miss Victorious on The Roaring Season […]

It’s over a year old, but this video from the guys at Roadkill where they buy an elderly Jaguar XJ for $1,000, throw a blower on it in a parking lot then drive it across California to go drag racing (using car washes to cool the engine along the way!) is brilliant! It’s painfully slow, […]
Back for the New Year, this week’s Blast is a very special one! There is even a very cool story behind it. The pic itself is sensational and shows a very serious-looking, and at that stage unknown, young man from Finland who was in New Zealand to compete in the Formula Pacific championship. “It was […]
This is the car we need. That is all. Watch this video of an episode of the brilliant “Jay Leno’s Garage” and you will realise you need it too. Even the bloke who built it says it is “horribly expensive”, but who cares? We need one…
It is the weekend following Christmas. You may well have emerged from a food coma by now and are looking for something to watch that isn’t an ’80s sitcom repeat, wrestling or The Crowd Goes Wild. Here is a particularly awesome episode of “Roadkill” from Motor Trend where the boys build a Mad Max-esque Rat […]
Happy Friday! This week’s Blast from the Past is another wonderful Terry Marshall image, this time from a very wet Manfeild in 1976. Leo Leonard in the PDL Ford Mustang leads Jim Richards in the Sidchrome Ford Mustang and they are chased by Jack Nazer in Miss Victorious.
It’s Blast from the Past time of week again! This week’s Terry Marshall shot comes from the legendary Baypark raceway in 1972. It shows a pair of equally legendary driver battling it out; Allan Moffat in the Ford Mustang and Pete Geohegan in the Ford Falcon.
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!
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.
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 […]
