The Best Drift Video Yet

Posted in: Cars, Author: Loxlee (September 1, 2010)

There isn’t much decent outside footage of the cars, there are no explosions or paintballs à la Ken Block and it is very short. Still 100% awesome though!

I love watching things from a different perspective and I guess after the Honda N600 post I’m still in a mindset of what is different is awesome.

Honda N600 Ultimate Win!

Posted in: Cars, Author: Loxlee (September 1, 2010)

I am pretty much speechless.

This is pretty much the coolest car I have seen in a long time. It’s not mentally low, it has 10 inch steel wheels (that aren’t banded), massive tyres, it’s ratty but not forced and it has a flippin 600cc two cylinder engine with an exhaust that comes out of the front grill! Not exactly what you would say is the standard in how to make a car cool but yet it manages to be about 1 gajillion times cooler than any slammed Golf or Polo I have seen.

Not trying to start any hate, just saying sometimes something very different will always be a lot cooler.

The owner is going to be completely restoring it so I can’t wait to see it finished, even though I love the rattyness of it at the moment.

Thank the lord for Speedhunters and them finding my new favourite car for me!

The V8 Hotel – Stuttgart

Posted in: General Motoring, Author: Loxlee (August 31, 2010)

So as you probably know by now if you read my waffling, I live and breathe cars and slowly they are, or rather bits of them, are making their way into my house to be used as bits of furniture. My housemate is currently building a coffee table out of a Caddy tailgate and we already have a small table made out of a Capri 4 spoke wheel, I also have all manor of random parts around but they aren’t so much furniture and more just stuff that isn’t in the garage… I will have to get some pictures up at some point.

Anyway I’m not the first person to do this, everyone knows about the Top Gear set and of course I have talked about it before with the post “The Finest Sofas Money Can Buy” but now it would seem you can have the ultimate motorists holiday in Stuttgart if you go and stay in the amazing 4 star V8 Hotel.

Now that's a car park!

To put it simply this looks like one of the coolest hotels in the world, actually one of the coolest PLACES in the world! (Ok some of the rooms may be a bit cheesy but I like cheese, its the perfect accompaniment to toast)

Cheesy?

It has 34 rooms with varying styles going from normal to grown up kids playground (what adult wouldn’t want to sleep in a race car bed?) The furniture in all the rooms looks absolutely amazing and brilliantly done and from the costs of some of the pieces in my other blog post probably wasn’t cheap for them to get hold of or make!

One of the more sensible rooms, even non car lovers would agree this is nice!

Morris minor room

One of the more extreme rooms! Even has comedy fake legs under the Minor front end

I'm not sure how this is car related but my god it is awesome!

I think they missed a trick in the hallway/entrance though, the V8 engine table is superb but the sofas are a bit normal! They need to be the back of a BMW 2002….

The drive in lobby is good...
