This doesn’t appeal to us much from a content perspective, but on purely technical grounds, it does look pretty amazing.

Now, if someone would only marry the cutting edge technology of “The Driver” with the Lancias, Caterhams, and Europas of “Ekusu doraibâ“- that would be something to watch.

Can’t even begin to imagine how stinking fast these things are. Certainly looks plenty fast in this photo.

MkII GTI

The coils are cranked a little too low for our taste, and we think we spot the rectangular US headlights, but otherwise, this MkII is very much on the money, right down to the unusual color (viewers: any idea what it is?). BBS RXs look so nice on these cars.

The Renault Megane R26R: the hottest of hot hatches? Axis likes it, too, which can only be a good thing.

We'll confess, we're not quite sure what to make of this

A little too much stretch in the back for our liking (and we don’t love the front bumper), but otherwise, this 996 on deeep dish BBS LMs is pretty much without fault. And the photos are obviously airtight (the last one in particular has the “kills bugs fast” look down pat).

1-Series shooting brake

Even more than the coupe, we’re drawn to the shooting brake 1ers— the 3-door in particular. They just visually come together for us, as seen in this picture.

Forks of the Credit Road in Ontario Canada, near Toronto. The supercharger whine puts a bit of a damper on this otherwise excellent footage (we’d love to hear more of the JCW’s exhaust, though we understand about the camera placement), but the visuals themselves – low and wide – are tantalizing. And makes us want to go on a drive. Looking forward to seeing more of this..

Race-prepped vintage Aston

Don’t think we’ve ever seen a meaner-looking vintage Aston. Purposefully lowered. British racing green. Meaty rubber. Wire wheels with center-locking hubs. Incredible.
