There also happens to be a big classic and custom car scene in wider Kyoto Prefecture. If only there was a way to combine the two… Well, there is. If you’re partial to a little spiritual refreshment and the occasional […]

As the legend goes, Ura ruled the Kinojo region, but being a demon he was a rubbish ruler and gave the people a pretty hard time. This all supposedly happened in […]

Driving a California T, even on the sunbaked roads around Maranello with the roof down, was rather disappointing no matter how hard the Ferrari badge tried. A rear-wheel drive Huracán on tarmac carved into a Scottish valley should have been breathtaking, but the charging bull […]

I’ve lost count of the amount of ‘but it’s SPEEDhunters, bro’ comments on other car culture stories, but when we share properly fast cars, the very same people are nowhere to be seen. This isn’t just an anecdote; it can be backed up with analytics and is […]

Without it, we wouldn’t be here right now. It dates as far back as the end of the 18th century and has rooted itself in our culture, allowing us to create unique identities for the machinery we’ve grown […]

Sunday morning cartoons, bright neon, film cameras, original Nintendo – I was there for all of it. Realistically, I’m still here for all of it, so when my schedule was free for Oblivion II, Ontario’s own RADwood-style event, […]

The Ferrari F40 was built like a race car and was the first production car to break the 200mph barrier. The Honda NSX spawned the idea that a supercar should be friendly to drive. The […]

Unlim 500+ is about bringing your Koenigsegg or a Ferrari and testing it for top speed, sometimes the quarter or half-mile, and on some tracks, full one-mile runs. Nissan’s R35 GT-R is a staple of […]

I couldn’t make it to the social gatherings due to Rennsport, but I did manage to attend the massive Honda-themed takeover at Thunderhill Raceway which included a number of Type R cars invading the track as well. If you’ve […]

The car looked like an alien and was capable of 236mph; I read some articles and scoured the internet for more information and […]
