Count ’em and weep! We can only expect that the roar must be absolutely deafening (this should give you a very good idea. This should give you another. Turn your volume up loud).

Cinematic cars: NSX in "Pulp Fiction" (1994)
•January 17, 2010 • Comments Off on Cinematic cars: NSX in "Pulp Fiction" (1994)Meet one of our all-time favorite cars not originating from the Continent, making an appearance in one of our all-time favorite movies.
The car only played a bit part in the film (and it’s widely speculated that the car you heard was not, in fact, an NSX), but what an indelible impression it made nevertheless— to the point where it’s hard not to think about the Winston Wolf character without also thinking of this car. Random factoid: Tarantino originally wanted a Porsche. It’s also been said that the soundtrack comes from a Porsche 928.
Quoth Winston Wolf at one point, “It’s 30 minutes away. I’ll be there in 10!”

Alfas on the Ring
•January 15, 2010 • 2 CommentsUm, does it get much better than this? Naturally, we sweat a lot of different cars over here, but lately, we’re just bowled over by these lovely little Alfas.
Mental note for the day we’re finally able to get our sweaty hands on a GTV: sourcing a set of 15″ alloys should be one of our first orders of business.

Spiritual brothers
•January 15, 2010 • Comments Off on Spiritual brothersThought this made a rather amusing study in contrasts. What do a Bugatti Veyron and 1930s Ford pickup street rod have in common? On the surface, not much– four wheels, two doors, internal combustion engine, roadgoing ability.. maybe a few other things.
But here we are– worlds apart, and yet, closer than one might imagine.
