Banksy does it again...



Banksy pulls off biggest stunt to date


Banksy pulled off an audacious stunt to produce what is believed to be his biggest work yet in central London.

The secretive graffiti artist managed to erect three storeys of scaffolding behind a security fence despite being watched by a CCTV camera.

Then, during darkness and hidden behind a sheet of polythene, he painted this comment on 'Big Brother' society.

Video of the beetle at Baytown last Friday



I launched easy to keep my wheelspin to a minimum, and I lifted about 3/4 of the way down the track since I was already on the rev limiter and coasted to a 14.1. The truck in the other lane ran a 16.8.

The El Camino is back!




Hooray?

It will be unvieled this week at the NYAIS, and will be on sale next year as a 2010 model. It won't be called an "El Camino" though. It's just a rebadged version of the GM's Australian Holden "Ute".

More Automotive Insanity





Project F Bomb

Hot Rod Magazine has been doing this buildup for a while. It's got a Nelson Racing Engines twin turbo small block, pumping out 900hp on pump gas, 1500hp on race gas, and it's completely streetable and there are guys driving similar Nelson motors on the street everyday.

It's got suede army green paint with the bomber graphics, and the roll cage, drivetrain, and suspension to match the power. Even though I don't like Camaro's , I'd rather have this than a viper or ferrari any day.

Eastbound and Down...

We gonna do what they say can't be done.
We got a long way to go, and a short time to get there.
I'm east bound just watch ol' bandit run!



Year One recreates the "Bandit" Trans Am



"There will be three variations on the Bandit theme, BAN1, thru BAN3. All cars have full body restorations first. Floors are replaced, as are other needed panels, so that the hi-po Ponchos have the best basis to build from. Flush-mounted glass, smooth fender flares, custom projector headlights and LED taillights update the basic car. Chassis mods firm up the structure with subframe connectors, tubular control arms and high performance bushings and springs. The interiors get pimped out in the same custom fashion, with "Bandit" inserts on the door panels, modern seats, a race-inspired gauge cluster and the requisite CB radio. It wouldn't be a Bandit car if you couldn't pick up that mic and say "Snoman, gotcher ears on?" BAN2 and BAN3 packages get increasing amounts of performance from monster aluminum 455s or LS-derived engines, as well as further chassis tweaks and more toys inside the cockpit, like a nav system and race harnesses."
