Expert Petrolhead Nirvana
posted by EventAddict, 13-Aug-08
How could I refuse an invite to the Ace Café to drool over some high end motors and drink some of the finest tea available in North West London? Supporting car clubs and meets is what we do. We like heading along and checking out the cars, chatting with the members, and grabbing some great footage to share with you guys. Petrolhead Nirvana was a meet that I would suggest is definitely worth checking out, no matter what car you drive.   The cars on display were above the usual...


Expert Smash the pitch up
posted by GameAddict, 14-Aug-08
Lycra is something we normally reserve for Promo Girls and Lance Armstrong types, but when we received an invite to Battersea Park in south London for the launch of Eidos’ new Summer Athletics game (and the promise of free beer!) we couldn’t resist donning our finest and heading on over. The day was split into three parts: try-out the Wii version of the game in one of the fitness rooms in the Millennium Sports centre, a ‘Wii-lay’ race around the track, and a finale of...


Expert Batman on the M25
posted by AddictEDITOR, 15-Aug-08
Getting to work is never the best trip in the world. However, today was even worse than normal thanks to a lone protester who scaled a gantry dressed as the dark knight. The Batman wanna-be was perched above one of the heaviest flowing roads in the UK, and diced with death just to hang his banner supporting the group Fathers 4 Justice, over the road.   Police and fire-fighters were on scene and were forced to close several lanes of the motorway, packed full of early morning commuters -...


Expert Kiriu pro lancer
posted by NewCarAddict, 15-Aug-08
This Mitsubishi Lancer is so hot you’d need oven gloves just to open the door. The blue and yellow paintwork slaps you in the face, grabbing your attention as well as highlighting the fine lines of the car’s custom wide body kit, which is a mix of carbon and FRP. If you think this car is just a pumped up show pony though, you’d be wrong. A 4G63 engine resides under the bonnet and is boosted by a massive TD 04 turbo. Everything is then pulled into perfect working harmony by a...


Expert JDM All Stars
posted by EventAddict, 18-Aug-08
It’s been a week since I visited Wembley Stadium car park to watch some of the best drifting action on offer this year. I did feel sorry for the event organisers though, as the heavens opened just before lunchtime and drenched everyone, in keeping with our very British summer weather. However despite the downpour, it was an awesome event, and a good time was had by all. Drifting started on the streets, and JDM Allstars have brought it back to its roots. While other drift series, like...


Expert Man builds Batmobile
posted by LifestyleAddict, 18-Aug-08
I love the latest Batman flick - the Dark Knight - in fact I’m planning on seeing it again at the cinema. However, my love for the film has been pounded into the ground by one super-fan, who has built his own Batmobile. If you have seen either of the latest Batman movies, then no-doubt you will appreciate how bad-ass the vehicle is. Using nothing but pictures on the internet as a reference, the keen fan dedicated time and roughly 60,000 USD to the project.   Also know as the...


Expert Project Fat Boy: Nissan Pulsar
posted by AddictEDITOR, 19-Aug-08
It’s been a while since Project Fat Boy has had an update on here. The car is now just a bare shell, everything has now been stripped down and the attention is focused on the running donor’s engine. The latest addition to the Pulsar’s lump is a new shortened exhaust that’s mounted in the front bumper - just like the cars in Time Attack and Drift.   With the wide-body kit in mind, Carl from Motorworx, decided to position the front exhaust on his current car to...


Expert Keith Cowie’s R32
posted by MotorsportAddict, 20-Aug-08
There are Skylines, and then there are Skylines. Keith Cowie’s R32 is one of the latter. It’s a drag machine that has a serious reputation which is not built on hot air alone. The real focus of this drag racing monster is the engine, a 3.0-litre OS Giken to be exact. Its spec list is an impressive read for any tech-hungry car fan. The RB Motorsport cylinder head, and a massive Turbo Dynamics 1250bhp GT Spec single turbo alone are enough to get the taste buds going.   The...


Expert Back to 95!
posted by LifestyleAddict, 21-Aug-08
Grab your glow sticks and get ready to punish your ear drums with some of the most classic dance tracks of all time with ‘Back to 95’. The 40-track album is mixed by the one and only Norris ‘Da Boss’ Windross, and drops some absolute classics by Happy Clappers and Robin S.   These are the tunes that set the standard for the House & Garage we know today, and if you missed it then, you can grab a slice of the good stuff with this funky CD...


Expert Dunkin’ R8
posted by NewCarAddict, 21-Aug-08
Driving an Audi R8 is going to grab people’s attention, fact. The car even manages to looks fast when it’s parked up. But, how fast does it look when you’ve dunked it in a river? Not very.   The Audi sportscar, now a write off, was on a test drive by an over-zealous 33 year-old Dutch man in his local town. Police investigating the crash, reported he was pushing 80mph in a 50mph zone only to hit a bump and loose control, forcing the car to take a plunge.   This...
