Ahh winter. The time of year when everything slows down, nobody wants to go outside, and everyone bemoans the free salt bath our cars get in the GTA. Why the hell would anybody take their car out in the winter!?
Thankfully not everybody is a wuss and garages their summer ride when old man winter shows [...]
Had a great time shooting stills at Irwindale, the final round of the Formula Drift. Of course since my new camera has a video function I had to shoot some video! Sadly I have no idea what I’m doing when it comes to shooting, editing, or composing video, so I just wing it and here’s [...]
I decided this year to head up north to Bancroft, Ontario to try get some coverage of the Rally of the Tall Pines. The weekend quickly degraded into more ‘party’ than ’spectate an event’ but before it did completely I did manage to put up with standing around for 3 stages to snap some shots.
I’ll [...]
A nice fat, wide set of tires have always been popular with the enthusiast crowd for obvious reasons. Even stretched tires have had their place in our hearts since the 60’s and 70’s (Countache and Stratos, anybody?). But the audacity to run these setups on a daily driven street car, let alone one engineered to [...]
The second day at FormulaD began with a walk around the pit and paddock areas to get a look at what the vendors/teams/builders/shops had on display. Right away I was drawn to a rather iconic set of colors…
Anyone who follows Subarus or sport compact racing in general will have seen the Crawford built 2008 time [...]
Have to apologize to you guys, I’ve been a tad busy though with my latest adventure over the past few days. I got sent out to LA by EA on a all-expenses paid trip to see the final round of Formula Drift at Irwindale. It was an insane experience and to top it off I [...]
Despite just picking up a shiny new camera (more on that later), I will unfortuately be shooting less and less in the coming weeks as winter rears its ugly head up here in Canada and everybody puts their summer rides into hibernation. When that happens my mind starts planning other projects to keep me busy…
BOOM. Just like that. As promised I went back and added a bunch of high resolution images in standard and widescreen formats under the wallpaper section. These are shots that people have asked for high-res of from previous shoots but I was too lazy/slow to get them online and sized. Hit it up…
Pierre bought his 1997 Arena Red Porsche in 1998 with 3000km on it, and it really was from a little old lady. Ten years on and I’m sure the first owner would barely recognize their old ride. The exterior modifications are so extensive it’s nearly impossible to list them all, but it’s worth trying just [...]
After about 2 months of neglect, I finally got around to revamping the blog in order to put up the DMCC content you see below. The database was borked, and seeing as I lack the skills to do anything about it I swapped platforms to a more reliable CMS for blogging than textpattern was. From [...]
Ran across this while driving around, couldn’t help but shoot it… I’ve seen their other cars running around, I know they had a 06GTI and an 06 WRX but apparently the owner of this company sees performance compacts as great fleet vehicles…
For the sake of posterity, here’s my car sitting 24 hours after the previous post’s photos were taken. From +15C and hackysack to -10C and snow in 24 hours. Come on!
Living in Canada can be unbelievably frustrating at times, and will often prompt jackass behavior in car-guys. The weather today was a balmy +15C and yet tomorrow we’re getting snow. Absolutely infuriating. Springtime means everyone is getting the parts they’ve amassed over the winter out and bolting things on. The biggest items though, everybody was [...]
Why is it that every time we get together for these install meetups someone says “nah it shouldn’t take more than a couple hours” when we ALL know whatever it is we’re going to do will inevitably take way more than what we guess? Wishful thinking I guess.
