A Speedhunter without a proper project car just didn't feel right. So this morning I bought this BMW E30 316i car from a good friend. The car didn't want to start so tonight I'm going to work on it and see if I can make it run.

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

On the way over there, I spotted some cars on trailers that were going the same direction, so I knew I was in for a treat. Once I reached the circuit and made
I was browsing through some Flickr accounts and came across this BMW that was shot by Egil A. from Norway.
