A
compilation of some of the various motorsport footage
I have captured over the past few years with my GOPRO.
No filters, no crazy edits, just raw action! Enjoy!
If
you liked Fast 5 then surely you've been waiting, like
us, for this, Fast & Furious 6. The story goes like
this...
Since
Dom (Diesel) and Brian’s (Walker) Rio heist toppled
a kingpin’s empire and left their crew with $100
million, our heroes have scattered across the globe. But
their inability to return home and living forever on the
lam have left their lives incomplete. Meanwhile, Hobbs
(Johnson) has been tracking an organization of lethally
skilled mercenary drivers across 12 countries, whose mastermind
(Evans) is aided by a ruthless second-in-command revealed
to be the love Dom thought was dead, Letty (Rodriguez).
The only way to stop the criminal outfit is to outmatch
them at street level, so Hobbs asks Dom to assemble his
elite team in...[more]
Driving…
what is it about driving a car that us petrol heads enjoy
so much? The feeling of being in control of a vehicle
at speed…? Or is it the sensation of lateral g-force
when you go around a bend? The feedback you get when you
turn the steering wheel and feel the mechanical grip levels
of a car’s tyres… The sheer speed of things
when you put your foot down and experience yourself sinking
back into the seat. The sound of the machine you’re
driving as it climbs up the rev range… or one reason
could be that specific piece of road you decide to drive
on. That could make the whole experience of driving so
much better. [more]
It’s
not often one gets handed the keys to a fully prepared
drift car, let alone to specifically go sideways in it.
Dylan Cothill is a brave man. We featured his fully imported
S14 Silvia a few issues back before it had a full respray
in black… I must say, I do prefer it in its new
tuxedo. It’s a very stealthy look all in black,
giving one the immediate impression it’s a weapon
of some sort. The new ROTA Grids look great too, not that
the old rims didn’t, but these just look better.
Dylans done quite a bit since we last featured the car
including a full motor rebuild to the SR20DET which see’s
it being fully blue printed and the internals upgraded
to Arias forged pistons, ACL bearings, Redline head gasket
and it even has a reworked head. [more]
The
Hi-Octane Festival of Drag Racing ended 2012 with a bang!
Usually held on Boxing Day and called Fast, Furious and
the Glorious, that event clearly had its glory days and
it was time to move on, that’s when Speed &
Sound stepped in. Now obviously when a big name like SNS
comes onboard they bring other big names with them. [more]
I
was invited to join the guys of Exclusively ///M on a
night out for a bit of sheer driving pleasure and some
fun before the festive season. It was a chance for the
guys to get together and catch up, see what’s new
and plan some things for the future. [more]
THE
REALITY OF A PIPE DREAM Posted:

Honda’s
tag line is “The power of dreams”… and
in Arno De Beer’s case one of his dreams indeed
came true when he acquired his 99 Honda Civic at the tender
age of 18. It’s been 5 years now and Arno has been
using his Civic as a daily, but a lot has transformed
since his first acquisition of the car. [more]
We
all know by now about this not so new trend that has hit
the world and truth be told it’s really not that
new at all. The tools to achieve the end product have
just become a whole lot better. It’s been around
for many years like most other trends and has just come
full circle to fruition.

INITIATED

Location:
V & A Waterfront, Cape Town.
The
term "Initiated" sparks a fair amount of controversy,
with many people asking what the term essentially means
and how it applies to the local car scene with it having
little or no relation to anything car related. The
term "Initiated" has two recognised meanings,
one of them being the cause to begin (process of action)
with the other meaning being; to admit (someone) into
a secret or obscure society or group, typically with a
ritual. [more]

Saldanha Airfield.
With
the Easter installment of this event put on the back foot
due to “un-raceable” weather, the December
event was long awaited with plenty of eagerness from spectators
and racers alike, myself included. I didn’t end
up even going to the last one as I was kept well informed
of the degrading weather forecast. So I was more than
looking forward to making it up with some great coverage.
