Rennsport Reunion V

Enjoy a bunch of my favourite pics from an epic time yesterday at the fantastic Rennsport Reunion V at Laguna Seca Raceway. Cheers!

JCCS

Checked out the Japanese Classic Car Show down in Long Beach. Some awesome little cars there, the location was great, and it was hot as hell. Loved this Skyline, gorgeous shade of blue with grey watanabes, perfect.

Always loved these big box flares on Toyota Starlets.

Awesome event!

Monterey Machines

Here's some of my favourite images from the recent trip to Monterey, for the car action that takes over the town for a week in August. The Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion and Pebble Beach Concours are truly bucket list material. If you get a chance to go, make it happen, they're incredible!

Seeing cars you've loved for years (and stolen the wheels off of in photoshop a lot) racing around the awesome Laguna Seca circuit is fantastic. This 80s badass, an Audi 200 Quattro Trans Am, has some especially epic turbo sounds.

The pits are just as incredible. There is a truly staggering amount of the raddest machines ever built juxtaposed amongst each other. This was the first time I saw a 959, and it was definitely not a case of being disappointed meeting childhood hero's. It was easily one of my favourite cars there. There was a 288 GTO there that was in that category too.

There were heaps of Kiwi's over, racing in Formula 5000. Awesome 70s machines.

No damn Cuda again! I can't wait to see one of Gurney '70 Cuda Trans Am around this track. Till then all the other Trans Am cars offer no shortage of the most glorious sights and sounds.

I'll leave you with the rest of the images now. It was an incredible trip once again. Looking forward to next year!

South Coast Cuda II

A few pictures from one of my last drives in the cuda before I headed back to LA. A chance to test out a new lens and grab some pretty shots for a feature in the awesome FUEL magazine from Australia.

 Long, lean, and mean!

California car life

Working in LA sure has its perks if you like cars. There's a bunch of events on all the time and badass cars all around. It's been a real pleasure to drive around the city and the hills with the evening sun casting that patented Hollywood magic lighting on everything. And blasting the freeways late at night with the windows down and the stereo at max feels straight out of a movie.

I'm lucky to know some folks with some beautiful machines over here.

My work rental. Not a bad car at all, these new mustangs. I like em.

Here's a bunch of random pics from a few local car events. Mainly Supercar Sunday and the recent Auto Enthusiast Day. I even met Jay Leno at yesterdays Supercar Sunday, love that guy, rad dude. I'd love to get the kuda into his garage for an episode!

I felt a little patriotism when I saw that fellow kiwi Mad Mike seemed to be the biggest star at Auto Enthusiast Day. That little mx5 is so rad, what a weapon, and the quad rotor sounds awesome.

Loving the Californian life. This weekend I'm off to Monterey for Pebble Beach Concours and the historics racing at Laguna Seca. I went last year and it was epic. So I should have a bunch of photos of more rad machines coming soon!
