We’re big fans of German Uber-Photographer Dirk Behlau, aka “The Pixeleye.” His photography and car culture books were big inspirations behind our first book “Class of 2009,” and gave us a reason to try harder on “Class of 2010.” In other words, he’s freakin’ awesome. Behlau, along with partner Jesper Braum, are making the jump [...]
Yesterday marked the annual car show in Carleton Place. And while the show wasn’t heavily promoted by any means, it was still a great turnout. Cars came from all over western Quebec and eastern Ontario to show off their polished (and not so polished) sheetmetal. The orange ’32 in the background, above, drove in all [...]
Damned if I know what a “Carkinator” is, but that’s what they’re up to in Winchester, Ontario this weekend. Keep reading to find out more: Ontario: Join Matt Carkner of the Ottawa Senators for the first annual Carkinator Car & Moto Rally in Winchester. It all takes place at the Winchester Arena on Saturday the [...]
Earlier yesterday Jalopnik.com, one of the better auto websites, posted a link to leaked plans for the Alfa Romeo’s re-launch into the US. The first step was to introduce the 4C, their flagship supercar which at this point was a concept car that was just hangin’ out at some new-car exhibition. So if the 4C [...]
Earlier tonight was the 6th annual Ferrari Festival, sponsored by the Ferrari Club of America, Ottawa Chapter. It was a decent display of fine Italian iron, with examples ranging from the ’80s to today. There was a 512 (better known as a “Testarossa”), a 348 (better known as “Magnum PI’s ride”), and even a Maserati [...]
To get you pumped up for this weekend’s Ferrari Festival in Ottawa, we’ve assembled this gallery of (really crappy) photos from the Ferrari Museum in Modena, Italy. In case you’re wondering, yes, it was our fearless editor-in-chief, Jordan Morningstar, who took all these photos way back in 2001. Of course, back then he wasn’t a [...]
We’re a big fan of the Manitoba Pontiac Association, and they’ve been big supporters of this site and our book series. And so, when one of their members needs a hand selling their prized Trans Am, we’re more than happy to lend a hand: Lady driven 1985 Pontiac Trans Am. 126000 km , only 200 [...]
Father’s day is a great day for accumulating neckties, getting paper mache ashtrays that your kids made at school (even if you don’t smoke) and going to car shows. And while our taste in neckties and ashtrays is fairly questionable, we’ve got your back when it comes to picking out this weekend’s car show: Ontario: [...]
I have it on good authority that this year’s “Just Kruisin’ Show & Shine” in Lloydminster, Alberta has just booked SoCal Speed Shop as a vendor. Does this mean all kinds of famous hot rodders (like Jimmy Shine) will be in attendance? Possibly. We don’t know, but if you’re in the Lethbridge area on June [...]
Finding the tiny village of Curran, Ontario, isn’t as tough as one would imagine–simply drive east on the #17 highway until all the signs turn French, and make a right. However, driving to Curran isn’t a case of “where,” but more a question of “why.” There’s a main street (which also happens to be County [...]
