Only In Dubai - Gold Plated C63 AMG

I think Dubai is probably one of the only places in the World where you will see something like this!
Please let me know what you think as readers because I am really not at all sure what to make of it!
On the one hand I think it is different and relatively unique, although it has [...]

S2000 Widebodies In More Detail (Continued)

Following from my first post this is a more informative post as to my opinions on both the J’s Racing and Tamon Design widebody kits.
When I first saw the J’s Racing kit my first impressions was very positive. I like the front very much as well as the slits of the fenders. Having studies the [...]

VIP Style

VIP style is something that has really caught my eye for some time. There are all sorts of modifications under the category of ‘VIP Style,’ from the horrendously ugly to the smooth and luxurious modifications that really take the car to a whole new level.

Suspension: Camber, Caster, Toe

The three major alignment parameters; Camber, Caster, and Toe. Any car/track enthusiast should know these three terms and know them well as they play a major role in your handling characteristics.

Well, onto my first post … The K1 Attack Roadster has been one of my favorite kit cars for years. This car can be bought completely built and dropped at [...]

It’s Not Every Day One Of These Is Delivered In Gibraltar

It’s not every day a supercar gets delivered in Gibraltar, especially one of the caliber of the Ferrari F430 Scuderia.

AMG Eye Candy

I saw an S65 AMG stopped and just had to snap this picture before it drove away!

AMG is a top company and it is normal to expect any car coming from them to be special! This brake kit just blew me away but it still doesn’t justify the £149k price tag! It’s a shame I [...]
