GRAPE KINGS: Mid week therapy

When everything sucks, it’s nice to be reminded that you have good mates and that they will make sure that there is “always time for a drive” even if it’s in the middle of the week.

Cake, Carts and half a CRX

After picking Peter up on Saturday night from the airport, we made plans to arrive early the next day in Brunswick for Day of the Donut. We were greeted to this ridiculous line at 9am and after refusing to wait, headed over to help the other half of Team Rattlesnake. Tom required assistance lifting his […]

EXE Australia Day Drive: Spurs and Sausages

With a long weekend ahead of us, some of the EXE crew gathered to go for a drive and BBQ. The only thing sweeter than seeing an old couple enjoying roadster life, is sitting behind Dan’s 33 and breathing in the delicious e85. As we headed further into the mountains, we spotted some snakes in […]

GRAPE KINGS: Exciting mountain shakedown!

After recently getting his zed on the road, Tin had previously declined our offers to go for a run through the hills. However, today was the day that it was time to shake the cobwebs out properly! Not even my dirty windscreen could detract from Tin’s shiny new paintwork. As we settled in for the […]

GRAPE KINGS: New Years Day – Recovery mission

As one of the only days that everyone had off, we decided to go on a New Years Day drive. Despite the light drizzle as I left my house, I committed to doing this drive with the roof off (largely because no one was at home to help me put the roof back on) and […]

Malaysia: Mexi-flush on the Motorway

On one of our more ambitious nights out in Malaysia, we had decided that we would attempt to find a car park meet after Timmy showed us a flyer for an event organised by the Daily Swag crew. Once again, our taxi driver seemed to be a bit confused about our end location. Eventually I […]

Japan: The truth about Mount Fuji.

It’s time to leave Tokyo and head to the mountains to check out Mount Fuji via bus. Our tour guide requested that we call him “Fish.” He was a chipper fellow! The roads on the way up were excellent. The view of Mt Fuji on this day, was not so excellent. Many hikers make the […]

Japan: Fish Markets, Super Autobacs and Harajuku.

The first stop early in the morning was Tsukiji fish markets to sample some fresh sashimi. Yummm! We then headed off to Super Autobacs to have a looksee. Spotted this DC2R in the car park. With an err, unique choice of side skirts and rear bar. A lowered Cima on it’s way out. There’s also […]

Grand prix and grand stands

Fencing has gone up and gravel traps are being laid down in anticipation for the first GP race of the year at Albert Park. As we’re all too uncool to actually have real plans on a Saturday night, we thought it would be a good opportunity to make the most of the backdrop and go […]

City and Colour

Sunday 25th November, 2011. Join the colour run they said. It’ll be fun they said. I can say with certainty that waking up on a Sunday at 6:30am after karting on Saturday was not the most enjoyable thing I’ve ever done. We arrived to find 12,000 other participants. The colour run is dubbed as the […]
