The Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR is one of the most iconic cars in the history of Mercedes, the world Endurance and 1990s were only made 26 street units to homologate the racing version, even more rare, with only 7 copies. But despite its rarity, one of them lived in Brazil in the late 1990s and the beginning of this week. Yes: he lived. As she left.

Let’s be honest, car stereotypes are hilarious. The nature of a stereotype is to be misleading, but it’s still fun to say Hondas are slow, Mustangs eat crowds, and the Bugatti Veyron is the greatest car in the world. The sports liftback known as the Ford Probe has become a bit of a joke among car guys. However, I must confess, my ‘94 Probe GT is the best car I’ve ever owned.

So I did this for E30 and E34 as it is on the stickies… and since the E36 has many of the engine options of both cars I thought, well let us do this here, too. So let us getting started with the model range.

The weird thing about this car, that it´s the only drift-car with a Turbocharger, that works. I can´t drift the 200BX Drift-Car from the stock game, or any other stock Drift-Car for that matter. When I first started experimenting with this car, it was all-wheel-drive and had as much power as possible. Then I changed it to rear-wheel-drive and natural-aspiration. When I drifted it, I was suprised how much balance and composure that car had, a car I built. I at first called it a day, but then I started experimenting. The result was this car.

Proving that it’s nothing if not on the pulse when it comes to the latest releases in the constantly evolving, fast paced world of premium model modification, Liberty Walk has just taken the wraps of its latest kit, one designed to fit the mighty Mercedes C63 AMG. AMG Mercs have been nothing short of a revelation in recent years, able to give offerings from arch rivals at BMW and Audi a damn good thrashing, and all while ferrying occupants in complete luxury!

Have you ever imagined being stuck in traffic for four hours, and by the time you arrive at your office, it’s closing time? Or maybe, have you experienced being late for school because constructions along roads aren’t timed properly? Well, if you have imagined that, you have got a glimpse of what driving here in the Philippines is like. For some who have experienced tragedy by getting stuck in traffic, you know how it feels like - a resemblance of hell on the road.

It’s impossible to fully appreciate the impact that Max Power had on British modified car culture when it was launched upon an unsuspecting public way back in 1993. Its simple, down to earth style and willingness to stick two fingers up at authority endeared it to millions of would-be feature car owners around the country, and it’s no exaggeration to say that this publication (and in time the likes of Fast Car, Redline and Revs) shaped and defined modified car culture for almost fifteen years.

When minivans were still the choice vehicle for families. I’ve never known life without a minivan in the family. The minivan is always there. Reliable, tough, roomy, and comfortable (mostly). With normal trips every summer of my childhood to Ohio (from Florida), and years on end of traveling with one of these as the main mean of transportation, you get to know it really well. The List (of one’s that I can remember well) -1999 Chrysler Town & Country -1999 Dodge Grand Caravan Sport -2006 Chevrolet Uplander LS -2004 Chrysler Town and Country

Hello my friends and welcome to another one of my cr*ppy blog posts. Today I will tell you about one of the fastest saloons of the 90s, which is indeed the Lotus Omega/Carlton. Now, I will stick with the Omega name, because I come from a country where the brand is Opel, not Vauxhall. Some of you may know about this engineering magnificence but, some of you may not, so here is what this is all about.

What is carbon cleaning? Is it good or bad for car maintenance? My friends always asked me these questions. Actually, the debate had long existed in the field of auto industry. At first, I must tell you that engine carbon clean divided into two types: one is engine carbon cleaning for repair, the other is engine carbon cleaning for maintenance.

Had an incredible time this past weekend at Summit Point Motorsports Park, running their Shenandoah Circuit with TrackDaze ( http://www.trackdaze.com/ ). Ended up with 4 total hours on track with my instructor, and completed just short of 90 laps around the 2.2 mile course.

So August last year, I was very fortunate to get to experience the plamer sport track day. This was my first ever track day, in cars that I thought I could only ever dream of driving, especially at my age (20). The day started off with us signing in and being sorted into teams (there were around 50 people attending), and of course breakfast! Once everyone had finished eating we all had a drivers briefing on what to expect throughout the day and all the typical safety aspects, flag meanings and such.

Let’s start off with a few basic facts. The Audi S/RS range are high performance versions of the standard cars just like BMW M and Mercedes AMG, the first S model was the 1990 audi s2 coupe and four years later the RS2 avant came along as the first RS. One of the key biggest differences between Non RS/S and RS/S cars are the fact that all S and RS models are equipped with Quattro all Wheel drive as standard for improved grip and acceleration. The only Non RS/S production cars you’ll see that on is the Q7 and the R8

From 2013-2015 I decided to buy and own a 997 Carrera S (used) as the 911 is such an iconic car which you have to own at least once in your lifetime. I am writing this to share my ownership experience and when you buy a Porsche, it is more than the car you are buying. What you are also buying is the brand, heritage, history, lifestyle and engineering excellence. The car I purchased had a very desirable spec – it came with sport chrono pack, switchable sports exhaust, sport seats and short shift gearbox.

Hello and welcome to my first #MyBuild! What I want to do with this is to create my ideal Nissan 300zx, looking at parts such as body kits, wheels and other parts, as well as what’s under the bonnet and the interior. DISCLAIMER: I do not own a 300ZX unfortunately, but I will talk as though I do have one. Exterior First off, the bodykit. The front bar would be either a Stillen bar (shown in the opening image) or one from Greddy Trust (below)

The Stratos The Lancia Stratos was the first purpose built rally car from the Italian marque that went on to win three manufacturers titles, a feat that was not beaten until the Integrale. The Stratos was styled by none other than Marcello Gandini of Bertone, who created the iconic wedge shape of the Stratos. The car was powered by a 2.4L Ferrari V6 in both the Stradale and Corsa versions of the car. The Group 4 version produced 280bhp and the car underwent different bodywork variations in its time.
