Well Exotics and Luxury month is about to end and we're about to usher in a month devoted to AWD cars in all shapes and sizes ( although you can expect to see a lot of Imprezas, Evos and GT-Rs )... I wanted to end my own writing on the subject of supercars with a good look at two legendary machines Dino and I encountered right at the end of our
I'm sitting here working on these Ferrari Museum photos, but am finding I'm suffering from a bit of writers' block. Perhaps it's the distraction from the media wave surrounding the death of Michael Jackson, or perhaps it's the fact that by time Dino and I arrived at the Galleria Ferrari, we were both pretty frazzled by a long day
The more I look at these photos, the more I'm convinced that I've never been to Italy in my life, let alone had the run of a supercar factory. It's just too good to be true isn't it? I'm sure that Dino found these photos on the internet somewhere and posted them to his FTP site for me to edit. Then I had a dream that I actually was
It's just over a month ago now that Dino and I parted ways in Italy to return to our respective countries. In relative terms, it wasn't that long ago, but for me it seems like a lifetime away. A lot has happened since then... So it's a bit strange now to be staring at these photos of the Pagani factory, trying to bring myself back to the
For the past few days, I've been thinking about exactly what the term "Exotic Car" really means. First of all, it should be made of unobtainium -- that is, an exotic should be ultra exclusive and rare. Sightings of these cars should be few and far between.

Got a favourite supercar? A dream machine from your childhood that you hope one day to afford? Although it's not on my list of cars to own, my favourite supercar ever has to be the Ferrari F40. This was a machine that helped to redefine the goal posts of supercar performance during the arms race for production cars to break the 200 mph barrier in
Ok enough drift articles for the moment... the big event this weekend is the Le Mans 24HRs which starts tomorrow morning. As I don't own a television, I'm going to be getting up at 05:30 to head over to a buddy's apartment to watch the first few hours of the race. I should then hopefully be able to stream video and/or audio from the rest
Welcome to the next month of your life... is 2009 treating you ok? Or are these tough times bringing the spirit of things down just a little bit? I suppose it's hard to keep your chin up when all you hear about in the news is doom and gloom... oh well... we still can dream about a nice future can't we?... Perhaps this daydream can include some
I like to think of life as a spiral.... As you journey down your individual path, things are always shifting and changing all around you. Now, I firmly believe that if you are a focused person and committed to personal growth, this sea of change will be a progression.... and for me, this progression is never linear... there are always ebbs and flows
