Track n Go

Snow travel will never be the same. Admittedly, I don't think I've ever driven over snow...but now I want to.



Bushranger Jack

You've probably seen this Australian product but I haven't. I was amazed! I just hope the balloons are tough. Check them out here.




Quick game of pool?

With the insane amount of money these cost to make, one would hope a buyer already has a stable of classic cars. So if you already have a fleet of actual cars, and you have more money than sense, you could buy one of these. Just make sure you apply the handbrake- you don't want a Ferris Bueller moment happening through your house!

This pony-car will set you back from US$9,995




This Shelby Mustang will set you back between US$11,000 and US$39,000.




This Chevy will set you back from US$16,995

New Roller Revealed

So it's turning out to be a bit of a day of Rolls Royce here on Exhaust Pipe Dreams because hot off the press from the Beijing International Motor Show are these pics of the 2013 Rolls Royce long wheelbase Phantom Series II. Read all about the new model here.








Hot-n-Fun Roller

While still on the topic of Rollers, check out N.E.R.D's new track 'Hot-n-Fun' featuring not just Nelly Furtado but also an incredible custom painted Roller. The blurb on the website calls is a phantom drop-head but it looks like any regular Corniche to me. Please hit the comment button and correct me if I'm wrong!

The paint was done by a Miami art collective called FriendsWithYou.

Rolls Royce's $100million Recall

OUCH! Here is some sensational news in the Australian motoring World as Rolls Royce recalls almost every Roller sold in Australia for the last ten years, which would equate to about AUD$100million (£64.2million or US$103million). This is an epic fail for the uber luxury brand's reputation for quality and workmanship. Toyota and Lexus went through similar recalls over the last few years but one of this magnitude hitting a brand of this pedigree is something extraordinary. Read on here.


World's Most Amazing Museum?

Could this be the best ever museum? A new museum has opened in Modena, Italy to honour the life and work of Enzo Ferrari. Read more here.

Driving Victoria Beckham

I'm sure like most staff at Range Rover, I'm scratching my head wondering how much of a help Posh Spice actually contributed in "designing" this vehicle but regardless, it sure looks pretty sweet. Check out the tan leather seats. I'd like one of those for my computer desk. I'll put in a call- I'm sure there's a few lying around.



Thanks to Philip Ashley for sending this in.

Made in Birmingham

That's right, the XK8 like all Jags roll off the line at the Castle Bromwich plant near Birmingham. And look what the young Scallywag Ollie Locke, star of Made in Chelsea, has done to his.

UPDATE





Read about why he had to keep it a secret, besides the obvious ridicule that would come with driving a car painted like this.

And you could do this yourself if you were that keen. Check out this one for sale on Auto Trader.

Look what Simon Cowell just bought...

It's a three-wheeled car called a Carver. You'd think he could've afforded a four-wheeled car, even if it's only two-wheel-drive! It's a Dutch brand of car using a Japanese motorcycle engine.

Check out his new car and a clip from Top Gear.

New AMG G63 pics released!

That's right, Benz's new whopper has been leaked ahead of its schedules Beijing unveiling. It looks awesome, but who buys these? Or why? What could you possibly need this amount of torque for? Towing a cruise liner? Driving up a cliff? I've lost track of all the Mercedes models these days. There's just so many. Don't get me started on the GL class or the R Class. There must be a reason for saturating the market with every imaginable type of car- I just can't think of what it could be! Read more about the new beast here.

Pictured: the new AMG G63.

Built Ford Tough

Mike Bamford, my colleague from London has just had his music featured on a new Ford Commercial, and because I'm a Ford man (as opposed to a Holden man) I just had to feature it here.

New Chevy Impala

Looks pretty sweet and I have to say, non-American which is a good thing. They've gone more Euro or Japanese with this and I think the results speak for themselves.

And if you're offended by that comment- just look at the 2012 Cadillac STS. What are they thinking? Where's the balance? Where's the grace? Chrysler achieved great balance with the 300C. Come on Cadillac.


















Now check out the great looking new Impala:

Jamie Wincup Master Driver

So for those of you outside of Australia, or have never visited, or have never seen an Australian movie, or have never spoken to an Australian- you might not realise that in Australia it's all about Ford versus Holden. Forget sport, or which city you're from. We make it simple in Oz...all you have to do is pick a side (from Birth) and stick with it. I love love love Holdens, especially the stunning looking Holden caprice, but I am a Ford man from a Ford family.

The major event or events to put this rivalry to the test is the V8 Supercar series where Ford and Holden (perhaps soon including Chrysler) battle it out for bragging rights. The biggest event is the Bathurst 1000 and is the mecca for all petrol-heads.

Here is one of the biggest names in Australian motor racing getting himself out of strife like the consummate professional he is. Think you could do this with cars flying past you?
