One of the biggest divides within the automotive community in recent times has been the constant and continuing argument regarding form and function, stance and performance. So many believe you can either have one or the other but never both. It still amazes me how riled up some can get over this difference in opinions and the amount of hate that can be generated. On one side of the argument, you have those who are primarily interested in aesthethics and creating something which can be seen as an...

On a rather wet and winter's day at Mondello Park, I finally got to see and be a part of something that I've been waiting for, for quite a long time. Some of you may remember the exclusive feature on Martin Ffrench's Wexican Motorsport Toyota Altezza , just last week the car returned from an intensive mapping session at Pro Tuner in the UK and finally made it's on track debut yesterday at an open drift practice day Mondello Park. For its first time in action, the car went and behaved...

Before I wrap up my coverage for the Haulers & Sedans theme for the month, I've updated the desktops section with three images from the 'Recessionary Tale' feature we ran last week. The first is a typical three-quarters view of the car ... ... the next a profile shot ... ... and the final is a wide shot taking in the surrounds of the photo shoot. - Paddy McGrath

This story and this car mean an awful lot to me. I hope you can bear with me as I try to convey the full story for you. It won't be easy but I'll try. Recession is defined as a period of temporary economic decline during which trade and industrial activity are reduced. It's a pretty cold way of looking at what the economies of the world have been experiencing for the last few years and it is especially cold if you've been hit harder than others. I suppose I don't really need to...

I'm back again this month for an update to the current range of builds I have going on at the moment, I hope you'll enjoy the read. Some of you may remember a post back in March about my time attack build. The car sat lonely in the corner with no paint, as unattractive as any car can look yet the reaction we got to it was something we had never seen before. The picture appeared everywhere; on time attack forums around the world people were debating the legality of it and how fast could it...

Hello everyone, my name is Martin Ffrench, but I'm better known as 'Frenchie'. Here's a little bit about myself... I've always been into drifting even though I didn't really know what it was at the time. When I was 15 or 16 years old, my first cars to rally around the yard and fields at home were Ford Sierra Saphires and 'old skool' KP61 RWD Starlets (but I suppose they weren't all that 'old skool' back then!). Oh yeah, how can I forget my Opel Kadet Coupe...
