Creative new idea for advertising larger than billboards, video projection, and not paying billboard companies... I'm in awe of this paradigm breaker

A MINI is racing in the Dakar (now through South America)



Six BMW X3CCs and the brand new Mini All4 Racing will represent Sven Quandt's team on 13 timed special stages and 5,020km of competitive action in a route of 9,618km over the next 14 days across northern Argentina and Chile.

Quandt has assembled a team of over 80 personnel - the largest line-up in X-raid's eight-year history - to tackle the world's most difficult and infamous off-road rally.

El Cajon car cruise got off to a late start for the car show season, here are some cool new things that caught my eye

SCCA meetings at Qulacomm bring out a variety of sports cars to play one the course and test and improve for fun, cool to watch!



















I think its very cool to show up to a club race that is predominantly Miatas and Hondas in a little Italian commuter that has been tricked out, it was the precursor to the trend of tricking out Hondas I think it would be accurate to say

This is the coolest way to mount a camera! Use what is hanging around in the tool box








Yeah, that looks a little bit too big. Probably been tested to work, but sheesh, it BMW figured they needed an air dam that big, they'd have rolled the car off the production line with it. But then again, that paint just screams out "Look at me"
I love it, a bug to race.. very cool
