For my next post I'm going to show you a selection of AWD cars from Need for Speed SHIFT. As I know you guys get annoyed and hot-under-the-collar whenever any subject matter gets overplayed on Speedhunters, so I'll start to wrap things up with a wider selection of cars from the game. So let's look first at the R34. As you upgrade the Skyline, it first changes into a bit of a Time Attack style monster before becoming a low line JGTC style racer.

Here is a video that Ken Block sent me this morning of himself and fellow rally driver Chris Atkinson having some fun in Ken's 1978 Ford Escort. Under the hood sits a 2.4-liter, four-cylinder Millington engine that boasts 280 BHP. It also is setup with WRC-styled paddle shifting and a six-speed sequential gearbox. I think this video does an incredible job of capturing the definition of fun!

The Owners club has a great forum and I found some great images by member, Fiddy...

Ela Bouse! Not too long ago, I received a package in the mail from my friend Stathis, who I met at a drift event in Greece last summer. Stathis is one of the best AE86 drivers in Greece, and apparently he and his crew have just started a new print magazine, which comes with a drifting DVD! Since it's been sitting on the magazine rack in my living room for the past few weeks, I thought I'd share some info about it! The name of the magazine is WOT (Wide Open Throttle), and it's very interesting...
