Movie Monday: 13b rebuild

Posted by Hirschy Monday February 20th, 2012 @ 05:00 AM 1 Comment

Rotary engine’s are unique in their own way. Most of the track days I attend do not have many rotary powered cars, so its kind of like the cool unknown.
Check out the 13b and the way it’s built. This is a great tutorial for anyone who wishes to rebuild their engine, which is never a bad thing :)

Photography Friday – Let it Snow

Posted by Martin A. Friday February 17th, 2012 @ 07:00 PM 5 Comments

Sometime this winter, my good friend and fellow photographer Alok Paleri called me, asking “hey dude, would you like to spend a whole day drifting you car on snow?”. Well of course, long discussions and persuasions followed until, 7 seconds later, I said “yeah, of course!”.

What do you want at our drift days in April???

Posted by Tobias Wednesday February 15th, 2012 @ 05:00 AM 1 Comment

As described in the blog post from last weekend, we will hold a 2 day drift fun event in Pouilly, France.

Now since we will organize some fun competitions and side events we would like to know what you want.

Do you just want two days of free driving?
Or maybe some workshops on the side?
Would you be interested in instructions?

Whatever you want us to organise, post it here and we see what we can do.

Well I recently had a few chances to drive something a bit different from the scooby I normally drive for a weekend. As one of the cars in question also happened to look pretty good (at least in my opinion) I of course had to do a little photoshoot. Being interested in pretty much anything with an internal combustion engine in it, it goes without saying that I also tested all its abilities pretty thouroughly so thinking about this week’s photo friday, I thought why not just have a go at a bit of a car review. So I present to you, the Mercedes-Benz CLS500:
