You know a vehicle is wild when it compels me to write a WTF Friday post after all this time. But when a mythical legend like this 6-wheeled (or tandem if you prefer) Civic is completed. I have to jot at least a few words down. If you’ve been looking at cars on the internet…
Style Reigns Supreme: Fred Bottcher’s 57 Cadillac
The first time I came across Fred Bottcher’s 59 Gold Cadillac was a few years ago at the Jalopy Jam Up. Low and clean I obviously snapped a photo of it and stuck it in the coverage along with a cheeky little caption underneath about the figurine he’s got in the back. See cool car,…
WTF Friday: Diesel Road Runner
Marking the end of winter, I always look forward to the Motorama car show. But for 2019 there was one car in particular I was really looking forward to seeing in person. That car, is of course the one I am posting today; a 1970 Plymouth Road Runner powered by an Isuzu 4BD1T motor. The…
What Makes A Car Build?
Prior to Motorama 2019 a friend posed the question “What Makes a Build?”. When he asked this question it wasn’t to criticize or provoke, he simply wanted to start a discussion. I read through the answers, and was inspired to respond, but by the time I saw the status everyone had moved on. Despite being…
Not Dead Yet: 2018 In Review
Here we are at the end of another year, and I’m sat in front of the computer the night before New Year’s Eve wracking my brain in a somewhat vain attempt to recall exactly what happened in the last 365 days. 2018 has been one of the busiest years of my life; both automotive media…
WTF Friday: Twin Engine MX-3
Who remembers the Mazda MX-3? No? How about the Precida in some markets? The four seater coupe had a fairly short run but was a pretty unique little car. Perhaps its largest claim to fame was the fact that it has one of the smallest V6 motors in a production car. The little 6 cylinder…

WTF Friday: Party At Each End
If you’ve never worked on one, you might not know, but GM G body cars S trucks and are really similar front end wise. Essentially a G body (Cutlass, Monte Carlo etc) front end is just a wider set s10. The control arms, spindles, brakes etc are completely interchangeable given we’re talking 2WD. I know…

WTF Friday: 5.0 Twin Turbo Miata
Wow, it’s been a long time since the last WTF Friday post. A drought as long as this one isn’t something I plan on repeating. Shout out to all of you who check the site every Friday for something new. I’m going to put some work in to re-up my stash and make sure your time…
