I never thought I’d see the day, perhaps slightly enigmatic being someone who loves his ’80s gadgets, but I finally updated myself into the 21st century and joined the legions of people now rocking smartphones, and a flash HTC one at that. It’s not immediately apparent from the photo but being the Desire Z it [...]
Almost exactly one year after Sean bought the JZX100 I once again find myself 600km from home, in Wellington on another overcast and stupidly windy day, struggling to grab some photos of the aforementioned vehicle in a random carpark. (yeah, I’m from Auckland, so I have to complain about the wind every time I come [...]
Piloted by none other than… myself. (As if the shades didn’t give it away) Even with my relatively conservative (read: noob) lines I still managed to punt said racecar to a 1:56 PB around Track 1 at Taupo with the new ‘slow’ turn 12, which trumps my previous record in my own FWD TX3 by [...]
What do you do when you have an entire lockup’s worth of spare parts to get rid of, and not enough patience to list everything on trademe one item at a time? You buy another project car and put all your spares into it, that’s what! Presenting the new summer project – a 1985 Familia [...]
had a chance to scope out Rally NZ on the weekend. Cheaped out this year and didn’t go to any of the paying stages – but the Domain super special stage was a good enough approximation, albeit rather dark… this Olympus E-30 continues to impress with its ability to perform reasonably well even in crap [...]

Inspired by a recent post on a forum I lurk on: what are your favourite driving songs? I’d personally be hard pressed to name mine as there are so many, but if there was one album I seem to find myself listening to over and over again, it would be Damnation by Opeth. This merry [...]
one of my other hobbies is collecting and using old cameras (you know, the ones that take film!) today I dusted off two of my vintage Olympuses (Olympi?) and grabbed a couple of quick shots with the dSLR. The one on the left is a 1971 Olympus Trip 35, one of their most ubiquitous point-and-shoots [...]
