Some may remember my post a while back featuring screen captures of some of the vehicles in “Sleeping Dogs” well, same again but from the NZ film, Smash Palace this time around.

They’re also up on his flickr.com account which is linked to in the above fenstudios link, so check them out as well as the rest of the guy’s photography. It’s not too shabby!
