My Awesome Endtable

Another for sharing is caring: My awesome endtable.  

My friend Alex and I frequented a local bar with the coolest tables around.  These tables were some sort of clear plastic (which we later learned was polyesther based) with different things encased within this plastic, be it wolverine toys, star wars, pogs, money & drugs... each one is different.  As car guys we figured we'd try our hands at something similar.  This was the product.

The base was a brake rotor, the height comes from a Ford camshaft, some metal bits that look like pushrods (not really pushrods though) coupled to pistons.  The pistons were embedded in some of this poly that we totally ripped off the idea for.  

I say was when talking about the table, because with our shoddy welding skills the base eventually broke since apparently camshafts are brakes were never meant to be joined in automotive furniture-art.

Just discovered another great site: May Day Garage

While the paint on this particular miata doesn't appeal to my aesthetic, the rest of it is pretty cool... and upon poking around on the site I appropriated the picture from, I'll go ahead and call the guys at May Day Garage men of taste.  

Like any great Car Pr0n repository they have a nice mix of old and new, race and show, Italian, English, German, American and Japanese. They have a lot of original photography, and of remarkable quality. Color me a fan.

Awesome Illustration of Land Speed Record Vehicles

I am certainly an art lover, especially that of the tasteful automotive variety... I damned near cried when the run of $80 signed/numbered Camilo Pardo prints sold out before I could get my hands on one.

...but I digress.  A very talented illustrator named Stefan Marjoram made a brilliantly illustrated history of land speed record vehicles which you can enjoy here: http://stefanmarjoram.com/art.htm

Take a look at his photos too, which are equally brilliant as his illustration work.

Miata Challenge

http://www.supermiata.com/miata-challenge

The miata challenge is a series of time attack events across the country, this years starts January 29th at Buttonwillow raceway.  The rules also look pretty liberal, from a cursory look it appears you could be running a small block ford, or FI on a 1.6 or 1.8 and still have room for some handeling and be well within the most tame of classes; street.


This guy looks familiar.....

Looks like a very very cool event, if anyone has pics of last years shenanigans, or plans on compete in 2011 please drop me a line.

The ricer in me likes the Hellaflush.. I admit it

But the bigger part of me that thinks form should follow function doesn't.

Either way, for those of you so inclined to view a video of 'stanced out' cars in Austin, clicky.

Craigslist find: Miata with a sexual history.. wait, what?

According to the craiglist ad this car has a bad sexual history... I think I'd rather not know, even though the ad says they have cleaned it... good deal?
