Eric took FTD at the auto-x on Sunday that neither Andrew or I made it to… with the broken car. This is significant, not because Andrew or I could have taken it from him, but because he did it in an A3 Golf and not a WRX, or Sti, or 2.5RS or Legacy, or Talon, or Audi or any other […]
Rally-x In Our Absence – FF Win
1 A new all-weather style. Maybe you think it’s nothing new, but for many of us who were raised on road racing, the quarter mile and Car and Driver magazine, often the only things worth getting really excited involve fiberglass body panels that scrape asphalt or tires with lots of negative camber and a tread that somebody drew on. That was […]
The Real Canadian Car Life
Think the ghetto budget married car life is no different than the boro broken student car life? Think again. Here are some ideas and considerations for those of you who are so deep in the hashirya lifestyle that you have at one point called yourself a “lonely driver” in regards to your life’s plight. This is one more area, where […]

Before, the advent of the modern WRC, there were heaps of […]

Gravel and snow… I’ve gone rally crazy… it’s just so practical. Cars that can take beatings and go fast… anywhere. I’ve been preaching it for a […]
Happy Holidays
Winter auto-x was solid. Andrew's driving has come a long way... and he made me really worried. I think he even beat me in the morning. No disrespect to Andrew... but there's just a huge advantage that comes with all my extra experience, and even though I'm using his daily driver, I feel like I shouldn't have any problems putting a better time down. False. Given that neither of us have done anything competitive in motorsports for almost a year... it was challenge enough just to get into the mindset of going fast. Walking the course seemed more like routine than something useful in the end. We just couldn't think about the typical dilemmas faced at auto-x. Some guys will say... "competition... at winter auto-x?" [...]
