Nostalgic Wednesdays: Middo Naito Kurabu, aka MID NIGHT CLUB.

By
September 22, 2010

In our continuing effort to get our readers more information on retro rides and rice on Nostalgic Wednesdays, a question was posed on our Facebook Page about what you’d like to see today. When somebody mentioned The Midnight Club, I’m not gonna lie, the first thought that popped in my head was that terrible video game.

My second thought brought my senses back, and I immediately realized that he meant The Mid Night Club, Japan’s notorious street racing gang. Pay attention, i’m only doing this once!

Automotive Porn: Risi Competizione’s Ferrari FXX Evoluzione

By
September 20, 2010

It’s been a while since we’ve featured a car, hasn’t it? Me and JohnP have been wanting to feature a few cars lately, but we both vowed to wait for a car that would be out-of-this-world. I believe this Ferrari fit the bill.

You know this car means absolute business when you see center locking nuts on the wheels.

Super sleek and super low, absolutely everything on this Ferrari screams function.

Nostalgic Wednesdays: 1992 Japanese Drag.

By
September 15, 2010

This week we are a little busy here in Houston with this damn thing called work, so, for this week’s Nostalgic Wednesday I am going to touch briefly on this hella old drag clip I found on Youtube from the RRC Drag Festival in 1992 featured in Option video #21. Man, some of the styling in this video is completely out of control. Raised asses, dumped fronts, and mullets were in full effect.

One thing that I think is really cool about this era is that there are Japanese teams that also touched on American Top Fuel Drag, bad ass. Check out the “shorty at 2:39 of pt. 2, dayum! Another thing as well, back me up here, but is that a Yakuza manager at 6:51 & 7:07 of that Corvette funny car? Because he sticks out like a mother with those glasses and slicked back hair, madness.

Sit back, veg out and enjoy some old school drag and cool hair.

September 14, 2010

You guys may already know i’m a stickler for a well made car video. With that being said, check out this video from Pagani:
(Video tip: you really have to watch this bad boy in 1080p full screen)

More info from Pagani:
“On the occasion of the celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the “Frecce Tricolori”, Pagani Automobili created the Zonda Tricolore as a tribute to the National Aerobatic Team.

In 2010 the aerobatic season of the Frecce Tricolori comes to its 50th anniversary, wich will be celebrated on 11th and 12th September at Rivolto Airport (info: www.aeronautica.difesa.it).

The Frecce Tricolori (Italian, literally Tricolour Arrows), officially known as the 313th Aerobatic Training Squadron is the demonstration team of the Italian Air Force, based at Rivolto Air Force Base, in the north-eastern Italian region of Friuli Venezia-Giulia, province of Udine. They were formed in 1961 as an Air Force team, replacing previous teams that had been sponsored by various commands by the end of the 1920s.

The team flies the Aermacchi MB-339-A/PAN, a two-seat aircraft capable of 898 km/h at sea level, with nine aircraft and a solo (the highest number of aircraft of any aerobatic team in the world).

The Frecce Tricolori belong to the legacy of the entire italian community.”

1998: 0-400m Battle, 1000hp No Problem!

By
September 14, 2010

Plenty of familiar faces in this 12 year old Option clip. It’s funny, 1000hp + checks on RBs in 1998 and people in America are still getting hardons with 1000bhp Supras years later. Not hating on the Supra guys, but it would be nice to see them move on from being dyno queens…/rant. I love these old 400m battle videos, the damn Skylines squat and jump out of the hole like MaydayDavid chasing Tuesday .99 Popeye’s fried chicken. FAST!
