I just hope I don't get killed for this... considering the tough crowd in my latest random snap . -Jeroen Willemsen Spotted on Hellaflush

Fall is coming in hard in Holland, leaves are dropping and it seems like the rain never stops. But when it does stop and the leaves are dry you can shoot some incredible pictures. Mike Gilbert thought the same and shot this Audi A6 in this amazing setting. The A6 had a small makeover with a new nose that was taken from a S6 version. I love this shot... The car has been factory fitted with an Oyster gray metallic color. Just to think that at my recent Nürburgring trips you see these cars everywhere...

There is just no denying that the VW community have the Stance is Everything theme perfected. Here we have another example that proves that. The BBS LM wheels are a perfect match for this Golf mk4, there is a little bit of tuck but I'm sure it can drive without a hitch. The black accent on the frontbumper is also a cool touch. -Jeroen Willemsen Thanks to Oliver Verheij for the use of this picture.

Some of you had a ‘problem' with the amount of camber on my latest feature . So here is another take on a similar level, this time on a JZX100. The car is just as low but doesn't have the camber. The wheels seems to be a set of Vienna's Noble in black; the contrast works very well with the red exterior. -Jeroen Willemsen

This mk2 with what looks like to be Regamasters replicas looks stunning. In his previous setup the owner was rocking some Audi wheels, but I really prefer this more track oriented look. You can find more pictures on the owners Flickr account . Originally spotted on Supermade. -Jeroen Willemsen

I can remember way back, I always followed a website called Teamrice.org after it was featured in a edition of the HCI magazine. They always showcased amazing looking cars and had a video that accompanied each feature. I always loved that site until it went offline. But thankfully this was followed up by an affiliate site called DOHCresearch.com and after checking it again not too long ago I came across some fine automobiles from Hawaii. I'm still amazed at the quality of the builds they have...

What better way to start this month with the Spirant build JZX100. Any change is a welcome excuse to get this car on Speedhunter. This time the owner has had a small refresh with some new decals. The car is a favorite of mine for a long time. This car has the stance department on lock, it looks that good. -Jeroen Willemsen

While researching this blog post, I didn't want to make a standard Driver Profile of Paul Vlasblom like what we've been doing with the Formula D drifters. I wanted to turn it into a Q&A type of feature with lots of pictures of his cars, build projects and driving skills instead. Paul's career got started in 1998 when he was working for a Porsche dealership and and was racing a E30. He already loved to slide the little BMW but it never occurred to him it was a real sport. He won the...

Some of you should recognize this car as the 550 Maranello that has been build by Garage Saurus . It's a car that is constant developing. I have been following the build and I have been amazed at the quality of the build. This time they went out for a track day on the Fuji Speedway for some much needed testing. It is just a testament that Garage Saurus is still one of Japans greatest tuners. JeroenWillemsen

This car will race in the Camaro Cup in Sweden it will replace the older Z28 that has been used since 1999. The car uses a tube frame chassis made by HOWE Racing in the US. Ohlins suspension and Michelin tires will make sure the car handles like a true racecar. It is funny to see that this real American muscle car will be raced on the other side of the ocean. Check this Wikipedia link for more info about the Camaro Cup. -Jeroen Willemsen Spotted on Vizualtech

Now for my third installment I will be looking at some of the other cars that were present. The first car we have is the green E36 Wagon in the opening picture. It had a solid setup with its green color and flush Racing Dynamics wheels. I kept coming back to this car, and couldn't resist taking lots of pictures of it, maybe I can turn it into a car spotlight, anybody interested? Next week I will have another E36 wagon for you guys. It's a very famous car in Europe and it is used for drifting...

Just saw this small video in which a girl pays cash for a ride in a BMW M3. At first I thought it was a video made by BMW to promote their brand, but in fact it is made by some individuals with a very keen eye. Maybe this can work as inspiration for some of the videographers we have featured on Speedhunters.

I made so many pictures last Thursday, so I wasn't sure how I wanted to start this second post. I could do a separate BMW post or a Porsche post, but I decided to mix it up a bit. So there's something for everyone. In the opening shot you see the parking lot that's left of the entrance. On days like this you can walk around and chat to the owners or just check the awesome machinery that is present. The first car that caught my eye in this picture was the BMW M6 on the foreground. I'm...

The GT-R is linked in every way possible with the famous Nürburgring, so for a lot of owners of this car it is a once in a lifetime experience to be able to drive this circuit. Not for the guys I saw today because they are regulars and meet up with other GT-R owners to share their experiences. It's all part of the package when owning this car, it's not just the car it's a community you live in now....

I have seen this car popping up on several blogs and I just found this amazing picture made by Mike Gilbert . This VW Jetta has an amazing stance and the Borbet wheels are the perfect match for it. I especially like the polished lips on the wheels, it's a very nice contrast with the black centers. -Jeroen Willemsen

Once again I'm off to the Nürburgring for a closed trackday. The car list was the first thing that got me interested, the second thing was that they would open the pitlane so the cars will go full throttle on the long straight. On the car list I saw cars like the Gumpert Apollo, Nissan GT-R, Corvette Z06 and the Porsche GT2. I have already made contact with several people that will attend this ‘event'. But I wondered if there are more Speedhunter readers who will join the fun?...

Just found this video in which you can see Sean McInerney lapping Silverstone in a BMW M1 Procar. It has been shot in HD so I suggest you turn up your sound system and listen to that straight six scream. The engine sound is one of the best in the world.
Found on Jalopnik

I saw some of the comments in my previous random snap , asking what lap-time these cars do on Tsukuba. Well almost all cars build by Rauh Welt are around the 1 minute mark, as can be seen here . Funny thing is though that a Nissan S14 was faster than all the Porsches during this race. -Jeroen Willemsen

Another awesome video by the guys behind Wagenwerks, they used their editing tools to good use. It really shows that practice makes perfect. The AWOL theme stands for Air & Water On Land, that's some creative thinking.

Just because you guys asked for it, I've collected some more shots of the cars at the Nurburgring Nordeschleife parking lot. This is the area where people wait, before entering the track for public hotlapping. The first car is this Alfa Romeo 147 with Sportec wheels that looks spot on. I noticed that there were several Alfa's but they were older types like the Alfa 75 and 33. On the way to the track, I spotted this AE86 in Adenau, we didn't had time to stop and photograph it but luckily...
