Ken Block: 1977 Ford F-150 Hoonitruck

Ken Block: 1977 Ford F-150 Hoonitruck

Ken Block and The Hoonigans have done it again! Continuously pushing the boundaries of what should be done with old school muscle. Grant it, not much is original or old school on this build anymore. But still, It’s definitely a different approach and maybe another small nudge for the younger crowd to take more of an interest in the older stuff. The short list of specs says everything you need to…

Federico Sceriffo: FD Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano

Federico Sceriffo: FD Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano

Formula Drift is growing in seriousness. It has been for years. Growth is always great and really, it’s one of the few places where a home built s13 can compete with this 599 GTB. Just writing this is weird when thinking about these two platforms. Just a few years back the thought of drifting anything exotic was unthinkable. But here you go, one of the few examples of professional exotic drift…

BMW: M4 GTS

The M4 GTS, a 700 unit production run of BMW (you fill in the blank).

As most, we are very happy when a manufacturer releases a vehicle like this. It shows that manufacturers are still somewhat willing to build an all out expression of themselves and that manufacturers might actually be listening to “us” the “enthusiasts”. Might…

It begs the question though, with such a low build count and six…

#63 Ford Fairlane

A street driven race car with all the right ingredients. Built with only what was needed and no amenities to make you feel comfortable. The exhaust note makes your body tremble, and the visceral experience this Fairlane must convey should really be in tune with the 60’s era stock cars it is influenced by. https://flic.kr/p/ZvseS9   https://flic.kr/p/Zvse33   https://flic.kr/p/Cs99HE  …

CAFFEINE AND OCTANE: October Interiors and Engine Bays

CAFFEINE AND OCTANE: October Interiors and Engine Bays

For our second installment of Caffeine and Octane October, we have some of the nicest and cleanest interiors and engine bays of the show. Although not a prerequisite, a thought out interior and engine bay only add to the overall character of a build whether oem, completely redone or gutted. Whatever your style, you have to appreciate the work and energy put into these builds. Enjoy!…

CAFFEINE AND OCTANE: October

Here we have this months selection from our monthly Caffeine and Octane showing here in Atlanta. As usual there was variety and massive amounts of personality in each build. We have a few finds coming up, but these are some great honorable mentions from the show. Enjoy!   https://flic.kr/p/YjTaWP   https://flic.kr/p/ZmdMCp   https://flic.kr/p/ZijsU9   https://flic.kr/p/YjSXsR  …

#66 FORD GT Development Car

#66 FORD GT Development Car

The first Sunday of every month brings us Caffeine and Octane here in Atlanta, and although the turn out never disappoints, every now and then we get a special treat. Sometimes that special treat comes in form of the beautiful #66 Ford GT race car. Well, development car to be exact. In any form as you can imagine it stole the show. Walking up to it made Forza 6 feel real. For the last year I have…

TRACK FIND: Porsche 911 GT3 Cup Car

TRACK FIND: Porsche 911 GT3 Cup Car

These Porsche Cup Cars are factory built race cars meant for customers who don’t want to deal with the headache of building a capable track car themselves.  Everything from center lock wheels and steering wheel mounted controls solidify the race carness. I mean come on, it’s built by Porsche. Anything I can say is irrelevant anyways. Enjoy!   https://flic.kr/p/XjHLtd   https://flic.kr/p/Yktraq  …

TRACK FIND: E36 M3

TRACK FIND: E36 M3

This pristine M3 was a gorgeous find situated in back of the bleachers as the owner took a quick break to use the porter potty. I had about a minute and a half to shoot it as I did not want to take up any of his track time. In our brief conversation I was able to find out that this M3 only had an original 90k miles. Which by the condition I would have believed if he had told me 60k. Paint and…

TRACK DAY FEATURE: Team HMA Honda Accord

TRACK DAY FEATURE: Team HMA Honda Accord

Today we serve up an interesting find from our latest track day perusing. We ran into Team HMA from Lincoln, Alabama at Road Atlanta where they were more than willing to show us their machine. A proper machine built not with stacks of cash, but with a little ingenuity, time and motivation. Some of it shows when you immediately realize that the doors and hood have been neatly trimmed of all…

PROJECT DEMI: Takara 12 Speed

PROJECT DEMI: Takara 12 Speed

We would like to introduce our latest project, Demi. After a long hiatus of not riding any type of cycle, we bit a rather small bullet, found a project, completed her, and up to now have put a successful 200 miles without one single hiccup. What we have here is maybe the greatest Craigslist find for us. A total $5 bought us this complete vintage beauty. In much worse shape of course. This Takara…

TRACK DAY: Chin Motorsports at Road Atlanta

TRACK DAY: Chin Motorsports at Road Atlanta

Below we have a set from the last Chin Motorsports track day we attended at Road Atlanta. Chin Motorsports runs a very organized event that includes a good amount of seat time for all driver levels. This particular day had its fair share of interesting subjects, our favorite being the yellow HOWE Camaro. Flying down the back straight it seemed it must have been hitting at least 200 mph. Aside…

MACK DAVIS: Playlist

Mack Davis has a sound all her own. Her EP titled “Over The Influence” gives you a sense that she really is over it all and just going her own way. She has been featured on OVO Sound among other places, but honestly how she has not been signed is mind-blowing. When her song “Issues” first played on our SoundCloud I figured this was another big name artist I hadn’t heard of yet. (We don’t listen…

BLACK CLOUD BATTALION: Vintage Class Meet

The Vintage Class Meet is an Atlanta gem, that if you ever find yourself in Atlanta the third Sunday of any month, you should try really hard to escape any obligations you have to go to. Put on by “Black Cloud Battalion (BCB) a group of artists, designers and engineers united by a common love of all things automotive.” Imagine a meet free of premature drivers of automobiles who usually have a…
