OFFROADING: The Jimny Collective

What happens when your friend buys a Jimny? You decide to meet up to go off roading so you can ruin your cars together! Aytac: “What’s the plan?” Me: “We’re meeting Pete at 9am” Aytac: “And then?” Me: “I don’t know, Pete just told us to meet him in the morning.” The plan was to […]

Classic Japan 2015

When you show up and you are greeted to this, you know it’s going to be epic. I quickly messaged Charlie to see where he was, but I didn’t need to. A few minutes after walking in, I heard some loud laughing and turned around to see him only a few metres from me. Once […]

GRAPE KINGS: 100 mL – Steamy Soarer Sundays

On Saturday night at 11pm, the Grape Kings spontaneously decided that we were going to go on an early morning drive before Tony’s flight out to Thailand. I had plans to do a tend to a few things on Perry as well as have lunch with a friend however, when your group motto is, “There’s always […]

CORPORATE GAMES: Go Karting 2015

It’s that time of year again and the DWS team have kindly asked me back to compete with them for the 2015 Corporate games. During one of the race heats, a crash happened between two karts and which required a forklift to fix the barriers. Our division was set up across 4 heats. First up was […]

GRAPE KINGS: Sayonara Winter.

Earlier in the week in our group chat, the Grape Kings and I had been discussing growing up. We’d seen it time and time again. When family, work and life commitments get in the way the first thing to be sacrificed is always cars. Adam confidently declared that it wouldn’t be the same for us. […]

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 […]

All Toyota Winterfest 2015

It’s a public holiday, but we were all up early today for Toyota Winterfest which was being held at Sandown for the first time. It’s good to see this Sports 800 always doing the rounds. The owner told me there are 13 in Australia and 6 of them are still running. Charlie giving Harley’s car the once […]

SKIDPAN: Sunday Skids

After being advised by Tin on Friday night about a private skid pan day on Sunday I made my way across town just before lunch time to check out the action. Upon arriving, I was greeted to this sight. No need to explain who this overheating orange car belongs to… Meanwhile Tin and Trent were in […]

WINTON: EXE crew, a truck and a track

The afternoon before track day, we drove up to Benalla to meet up with Pete who was coming down from Sydney. Pete was excellent enough to leave his spare wheel behind and bring my new MX5 diff down from Sydney in the back of his MX5! As the temperature dropped quickly after the sun went […]

MOTORKHANA: Porsche day

As I had some business to attend to on the other side of town, I stopped by for an hour at the Porsche motorkhana day to see if Tony (who does not own a Porsche) had blown up his diff yet. Thankfully he had not! If you squint and rub butter into your eyes it sorta […]
