AUTUMN DRIVE: Coffee to go

Anticipating that this might be the last nice weekend we had before Winter was upon us, a last minute drive was organised to enjoy the beautiful Autumn weather. Perfect subject matter for a perfect day. A typical drive for us involves a bonnet up. This time it’s Ruthran trying to troubleshoot his boost “problem.” Adam […]

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.

The “Forever” Car

As someone whose life is consumed by cars and motor sport, there’s one thing I have never quite understood about other car folk. I’ve never understood the concept of selling a car you loved. In the last year, I’ve been trying hard to consolidate and cull the possessions in my life by donating and selling things […]

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 […]

Christchurch: Cars and a city in ruins.

After the motorsport park, we headed further north for 5 hours to New Zealand’s 2nd biggest city, Christchurch. We were quite shocked to see that the city was still in so much ruin after the earthquake in 2011. And that very little had been rebuilt. To combat the lack of real buildings, the businesses of […]

Winton: Missing ponies and pb’s.

Uh oh. It finally happened. I went to Winton and I didn’t…oh I can’t even bear to say it…I didn’t PB! The best time I managed was a 1:46.3 which is .4 seconds off my PB of 1:45.9. Poor Cherry has been suffering some rather obvious power loss issues over the last few events which […]

Preparing for Honda Nats

Well not really. They wouldn’t let me in for some reason. Something about not owning a Honda… So instead I’ll be heading to the open day tomorrow and staying around to support and heckle on Saturday. As Tart is no where near being finished, M&M is serving his duty as the designated back up track […]

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 […]

Taking back Sunday

Sunday 18th November, 2012. Kam recently lent me a copy of Sleeping Dogs and as a result, most of my nights have looked like this… Instagram: yingbot After waking up on Sunday morning and playing 5 hours straight, the only thing that was going to entice me out of bed was this… Yup, Nick finally […]

The Great Ocean Road-ster: Day Two.

Sunday 4th November, 2012. The next day we plan out our drive over breakfast. To be honest, I stuffed my face and nodded while Pete and Jarrod decided on the route. Before we start the drive I fill up with the most expensive fuel I’ve ever poured. $1.84 for V Power! A good shot illustrating […]
