So, I've decided to rid my living area of the small Sony dock-style sound system and go old skool with a Crown IC150 pre-amp, Crown DC150 amp, a Marantz 105 and a set of Tannoy SRM12B studio monitors I had laying around. Nice full sound, even with somewhat compressed digital files!

It's been two weeks since I took delivery of my E92 328i. I had some trouble bringing myself to BMW ownership - mostly the cliche that entails ownership - but I must say that outside of every woman that sees it saying it is a straight-up sexy ride, and my neighbours that think I am now dabbling in meth sales, it is an…

Haven't been this excited about something in a while....

Crunch time is here and I'm set to sign the papers tomorrow. I've ixnayed the plan for a 370Z and instead decided an E92 328i AT would be a much more reasonable purchase. I'd like a 6MT but want the wife to enjoy the car too. I'd love the power of the N54/55, but reliability is an issue as I will be DDing this car, so…

For some time now, I have been considering saving my pennies for the purchase of a well used Porsche 911. More specifically, a 911SC or Carrera of the eighties. I know, I know, air-cooled bandwagon this and hot-rod 911 trend that, I've heard it all before. I grew up around 911's until my father's taste outgrew…

I came across Patrick George's write-up on the C2 Corvette earlier today and thought I would briefly share a rare C2 Corvette I had the opportunity to work on last year.

So I've been conversing back and forth with my father more than usual this week. He is a car enthusiast much like myself. In fact, he was the one that hooked me on these things we call cars to start with. You see, dear old dad is trying to justify the purchase of a lightly used Gen II Porsche 997 Turbo and he must…

As you've probably deduced via the title of this post, the car I'll be reviewing today is a 1997 Volvo 850 wagon that I bought for a paltry $700. And that isn't even 700 real greenback dollars. I'm talking 700 maple syrup and bacon flavoured funny dollahs from the North yo! Hollah!

The first few barely even hit the sides... Mmmm, Grolsch...

I have always been perplexed at why with all of the mandated safety equipment in cars for the past fifty-odd years, fire extinguishers have yet to make the list...

... This car is so right on every level. In my lager induced state, I cannot stop staring at it. The details. The dumper. The amber rear corner lenses. The sidewall profile of the rear tires as opposed to the fronts. The flowers inside the Fuchs wheels being more grey than the polished lips. No center caps. Silver on…

I was 3 years old in 1978. I don't recall going to the 1978 Canadian Grand Prix. The first races I remember my parents taking me to were those with the Rothman's Porsche 956's at Mosport, outside of Toronto. I grew up surrounded by car people. Not in the way that the spawn of Dan Gurney or Stirling Moss would have…

I haven't seen the movie Rush yet, and to be honest I'm not sure I want the image of James Hunt that I've conjured up over the years completely ruined by Hollywood's version of him, so am not sure if I ever will. The movie has however stoked some conversation about whether vintage "race wear" will become a more…

This used to be my wagon. A 1964 Volvo Amazon with a low-compression, twin carb B18 and a 4-speed. I loved it dearly and as is usually the case, I regret that I got rid of it. Well, I regret that it's gone, but I also loved the 1982 Toyota LandCruiser BJ42 I traded it for, a 3B diesel equipped unit with 24 volt…
