Car shopping is so frustrating! There is a specific kind of car I’m looking for and they always seem to be for sale when you aren’t looking. Anyways, I wen’t to look at a 7-series the other week and realized it’s too big of a car. Well at least for now. But looking through forums and blogs, I came across this picture and it made me want one all over again. So frustrating!
Yet again, it’s been a while since I’ve updated my Rabbit build. I really am caught up with a bunch of projects, but March will be all about the Rabbit. So last time the motor was in and various parts were going in, including the wire harness, but I still needed a bunch of parts. I wen’t scouring on Vortex and found a crashed 16v Scirocco, so I jumped on it. It proved to be the best thing I could’ve done, because I needed more parts then I thought. With the Scirocco I really should have the car running in a couple weeks. The last time working on the car, we basically swapped a bunch of the engine parts into the Rabbit. The next update should be big so stay tuned!
Some dream cars, for me, aren’t the same as others. Sure Ferrari’s and Lamborghini’s are cool, but I would absolutely LOVE to own a Audi Quattro SWB and jam a 700hp+ 5 cylinder motor in and awd drift the crap out of it. I found the green swb below on a european ad site, fell in love with it, but was also shocked at the price. See your looking at a REAL swb quattro and they fetch over 100k euro’s, easy. Pretty intense when you think about it. There are some company’s that do the swb conversions and they go for about a quarter of the price. Unless I was a collector I really couldn’t see myself spending 100k euro’s plus for a Audi Quattro. So dope non the less.
There are a couple reasons I’m posting this. Firstly this is a video of the world famous Casey Stoner on the new Honda RC213V which is more powerful and lighter then last years bike. But I also wanted to show how incredibly technical a lap at Sepang is. As you can see there are no easy turns or straights. Looking at his lap it’s really hard to figure out when these guys have any chance to pass, yet they find ridiculous ways of doing it. It also gives you a great view of how much he is battling with keeping the front wheels straight. I can’t wait until this coming season, these motorcycle’s look like they are going to be torque monsters!
Ah man this is so cool. Super modded drift cars ready to roll to the track, pulled by huge trucks, which also probably modded. That’s living the dream right there.
I don’t know why in the world I am so attracted to wagon’s so much. Some of these european automakers really know how to keep great lines while adding the versatility of the added space. I also love seeing cars that usually aren’t modded, with simple, tasteful mods. This would be cool to own, no doubt.
