trademe Browsing…

What do you do when you’re sitting at work, supposed to be doing stock-take (really I’ve done most of it, I just wanted a little break from it just at the moment) you browse the internet looking for car related things and doofers.  Often you’ll find yourself on trademe.co.nz, imagining buying all manner of badass [...]

Southern Muscle Car Wars, Ruapuna

A drag racing event held at Ruapuna in Christchurch.  Sadly I could not be there, CHCH is over 500km from me.  What I did manage to do however, was get some photos from a nice chap  (Graham a.k.a EFI_LC) who is on oldschool.co.nz, who did attend the event.  Here’s a brief selection of his photo’s [...]

Drift South: Sneak Peak

I took a few photos of the Drift South event at Teretonga this weekend just been.  I didn’t stay too long on the main day, it was hot and I am a wuss, though in reality I had been feeling ill since the Friday and an unexpected long night/morning through into Saturday was not helping [...]

Where is the droid socket?

Holy crap. this guy deserves those ROGLDR plates more than I do. all it needs now are a set of S-foils, an R2 unit riding shotgun and a death star in the background… more photos of this monstrosity here, halfway down the page.

Flawless Trackday Planned – 21st June 09

If you’re in NZ, in the North Island and/or willing to travel there to have a blat around on the track in your precious beast (sorry, no drifting will be allowed) then come one, come all (as long as you’re not a cock, obviously… if you go, and it’s latered discovered you are one.  I [...]

Random Retro Snap: Toyota Crown

I apologise for the horrendous picture quality, it was taken on my phone and I thought that it was on a better resolution, sadly, it was  not and this is what I ended up with.  Despite how it might look.. all pixelated..  it’s not like that in real life and is infact the second tidiest [...]

zeppan.jp delivers… again!

Last month Michael made a brief mention of his catalogues arriving from zeppan.jp; now it’s my turn seeing as this would be the last time I’d ever get a chance to order a batch of items from Takeshi, I decided to splash out… exchange rate be damned!

KPGC110 – Outside of Japan.

Check this out, was wandering about the wonder that is JNC today and stumbled across this; Evidently just imported from Japan to the US of A and of genuine nature and not the clone one might believe it to be.  Rather than dribble on about it like a schoolboy.  I’ll let you read the thread [...]

oldschool.co.nz; Nationals Video Index

OK, so it’s not feature week anymore but the Nationals are well enough in the past that the majority if not entirity of all videos taken have been processed and posted, so what I figured I would do is put them all in one place, using the embed YouTube feature so that they’re essentially thumb-nailed [...]

Rare, Spotted, Blue-Breasted Prince

I wasn’t going to share this until I had found out more about it, but funds are extremely tight at the moment and as such I’m not sure when or if I’ll be able to do any investigating in the near or even not so near future.  Thanks to a lovely man named Eddie.  I [...]
