The square crop and warm colors remind us of classic TLR (twin lens reflex) medium format photography. And of course, the subject matter is beyond reproach. Really nice stuff.

•March 12, 2010 • 8 Comments A car we love paired with wheels we love- doesn’t get much better than this, really.

Chasing an RS2 on the Ring
•March 11, 2010 • 3 CommentsThis is kind of interesting for anyone with a fleeting interest in either of these things: the Audi RS2 – one of our favorite cars – or the Nurburgring Nordschleife. The chase car? An RS4, sounding great as always thanks to its 4.2L V8.
Amateur video, but not too bad considering it’s handheld.
Something a little different for us

Cinematic cars: the IMSA Porsche 911 from "Good Guys Wear Black" (1978)
•March 10, 2010 • 3 CommentsHey, Chuck Norris is 70 today, according to various newswires. His political views may be lamentable, but his birthday gives us an excuse to run this on-track clip from 1978’s “Good Guys Wear Black.” So here it is, Chuck Norris (as John T. Booker) running at the erstwhile Riverside International Raceway.
Lotus mega pic post
•March 10, 2010 • 2 CommentsIn light of some piling-on of the Lotus last week (okay, it wasn’t really- we love ’em way too much), we thought it only fair to vigorously counter with a generous heaping of Lotus eye candy.
Putting this post together made us want one even more… we think it might have a similar effect on some of our readers. And the preponderance of on-track photos here isn’t lost on us— this is a proper enthusiast’s car through and through, and we respect the heck out of ’em for it. Enjoy!
Eye candy: black 02 Turbo

We don't have much business liking the Audi S5
•March 9, 2010 • 3 CommentsLet’s face it: they are relatively heavy, longish-wheelbase GTs, and while they may be superb at what they were intended to do (grand touring— in high style, natch), they are not especially known to be nimble, lively driver’s cars (though to be clear, nor do they have a reputation as bad drivers— far from it). So why do we find ourselves inexplicably drawn to them? They’re stunning lookers, for one: a lowered S5 with the right wheels – we’re partial to BBS and OEM, especially on these cars – spaced out to sit flush with the fenders is a sight to behold. Photographs don’t do the car justice, quite frankly.
Here’s one such example we’ve been bowled over by lately. We might have gone for 19-inch wheels instead of these 20s, but nevertheless, it looks spectacular. And we’re envious as hell of Delaware’s cool black plates.
