"We are an endangered species, you and I. We lovers of speed. We devotees of power, performance and noise.
“Go away”, we are told, “and take your carbon-fibre and your fire-spitting V12s with you”.
There’s hardly a place out here for us anymore, not amongst all the commuters and congestion. Not in this growing age of safety and restraint, where practicality trumps adrenalin. Where the ratio of miles to the gallon is championed over horsepower to the weight.
The evidence is everywhere. You and I are being squeezed out, pushed aside and hunted down at every hairpin turn.
And yet there is hope. There is a safe haven, a place where we are free to challenge conventions, push the laws of physics and drive our powerful, our beautiful machines hard.
It’s not a racetrack in Germany or even a highway in Montana. It’s not even a real place, actually. It’s more than that. It’s a communal celebration of horsepower, torque, grip, leather, technology, beauty. It is the last bastion of automotive lust and it’s right there, in your living room."
-Jeremy Clarkson

How to get your car ready to rally, more than you'd think! (G)
12 years ago
If you don't know, we are currently working on our own rally/Baja car with full FIA specifications. Most of the work we are doing is by ourselves, but the Roll cage, Underbody skidplate, bull bar, flaps, stands, and a few other smaller things are being professionally done by our favorite "GORILLA OFF_ROAD".
Gorilla Off-Road has been great working with us and their patience is god-like. They specialize in Subaru's but they took our car in as a unique oppurtunity. Stay tuned and check them out!

My \'new\' 1988 Toyota Celica GT-Four. Only 35,500 original miles. Daily driven at this point, and loving every second of it.
