BMW e30 v12 twin turbo

This is just nuts for an e30. I like it.

Can no one be bothered to post anything here other than myself?

Please don't be shy. I know all of you have your own car opinions. Please share them.

I'd be greatly appreciative.

Thanks

Mazda RX-8 Current and Previous

2008-09-18T10:23:00.000-07:00

So which do you think is the better looking RX-8? The most current release?

Or the previous generation?

Mazda RX-8 Vegas Heat

2008-09-18T10:15:00.001-07:00

Finally the summer Las Vegas heat is dying down. Was interesting driving around in it with a hot rotary engine based car for the past few months. Despite all best efforts very few places are accommodating in this city to do custom cooling work, shame that. All is well though nothing overheated too much. Hopefully by the time next summer rolls around I'll either be in a nicer climate, or have all the overheating issues sorted out.

More to come soon.

Mazda RX-8

2008-08-05T16:09:00.002-07:00

Will soon have pics up of the RX-8. So far have only had the chance to do a few mods to it. Most of them are just minor maintenance type of stuff. The other mods include getting a COBB AccessPort, K&N air intake, and a few cheap mods. Will post more soon.

Cross Country Part 4

2008-06-26T09:34:00.002-07:00

A final update to the S4 saga. The venerable S4 has since been traded in for a newer car with fewer problems and less headaches. She will be missed and was a great car for her time, though sadly she had to go. In her place is a shiny grey metallic Mazda RX-8.

More to come soon.

Cross Country Part 3

2008-05-29T12:45:00.001-07:00

Well it seems the long haul, miles on the car, and my driving style has had an impact on the venerable S4. Through the use of a vag-com from ross-tech, found that my torque converter is on it's way out. Hopefully it will last a few more hundred miles before I have to take it into the shop for a rebuild/replacement.

More to come soon.

Cross Country Part 2

2008-05-23T13:14:00.002-07:00

Fortunately the drive from Mass to Nevada went mostly without a hitch. During the drive west ran into some interesting weather. Driving in sheer fog in 30 degree weather in Colorado was interesting, as was the fact it was snowing too. A sheer downpour in Illinois did not deter me either. All in all it is good to be here. Still settling in and adapting to the change of location, heat, lack of ocean and the like, but it was worth it.

More to come soon.

Cross Country

2008-05-10T19:35:00.003-07:00

Things will be slower than usual. I have an exciting new adventure coming up. I will undertake driving from Massachusetts to Nevada. 2800+ miles to be put on my Audi S4. I hope she will take it in stride and with grace. Looking foward to some fun driving.

Peace

Audi S5, To Be, Or Not To Be

2008-02-07T17:27:00.001-08:00

The new coupe du jour. Who also agrees this is an insanely awesome yet understated car. Everyone seems to be focused on the new R8, yet so few give enough attention to this beauty, and all it's potential.

Share with me what you think.

Fisker Latigo CS hotter than BMW?

2008-01-08T13:52:00.000-08:00

Could this possibly be a hotter 6 series than the BMW 6 series? This svelte baby is a Fisker Latigo CS based on the 650 and M6 respectively.

Something A Little Different

2007-05-01T03:53:00.000-07:00

Now I know this sorta wanders from the theme of this blog, however, I am waiting quite impatiently for this new Lancer to hit the streets. I got to try out the Evo 8 and 9 and if this thing is better than either of those it could make some Euro diehards jump ship.

Ascari A10

2007-04-02T14:37:00.000-07:00

This amazing piece of British supercar engineering has of all things 625 horses pushing it from 0-60 in a staggering 2.8 seconds.

Though the price is a bit of a let down. I so want one.

Ultimate Audi TT Tuner?

2007-03-22T19:43:00.000-07:00

Could this be the best Audi TT mod yet? The 2007 B&B TT Edition R. Not only is it at least for me sexier than the last TT body. It has more demons under the hood. Should be an interesting ride.

To sell or not to sell my soul...???

2007-03-22T19:38:00.000-07:00

The idea has arisen within the grey-ish matter 'twixt my ears. Would I sell my soul, first borne, and possibly more for the opportunity to own and drive such a magnificent piece of machinery as this Aston Martin Vanquish S?

Would you?
Could you?
Should you?

Alfa Romeo Brera's Evil Twin

2007-03-09T23:02:00.000-08:00

The glamorous Alfa Romeo Brera has been redone by tuning house Autodelta. Given a new drive train, more power, and some boss new OZ Racing Ultraleggera wheels. If only one could attain one stateside. I would be so over it.

Alfa Romeo Brera

2007-03-09T22:58:00.000-08:00

Is this or is this not one of the most striking modern vehicles created? One might argue that this car is worthy of being called modern art. Please let me know what you think of it. Does it truly deserve praise, or does it demand jeers?

The Bugatti Veyron: Is it too much?

2007-03-09T22:14:00.000-08:00

With all of it's astounding technological features, capabilities and speed, is this car just too much?
Not even vehicles like Formula 1 race cars can match it's speed, let alone horsepower. It's ability to out-pace just about any other vehicle produced thus far outside of true exotica like jet powered dragsters and other land speed record holders, what will engineers strive to build to out-pace this next?

I hope this example of man conquering machine will help to set the bar a bit higher. I just hope people are willing to take on the challenge of trying to make something that might one day trump it's abilities.

The Audi S5. What do you fine people think? Is it a better ride than the newly revealed/released R8. It is a proper 2+2 coupe don't forget.
