Cooking with Gas, Literally

Oct 20 2014

Specifically, it’s a carburetor being cleaned in gas.

More interesting is seeing a metaphor come to life.

It’s Far Tougher to Get Licensed in Germany

Oct 20 2014

Over there they’re taught to drive,
here we’re taught to pass a test.

Read it online at Autonet.

Favourite line:

There has to be something to Germany’s methods if its drivers are travelling at twice the speed, but with a lower accident rate.

I also like how it’s more expensive, because people tend to take things more seriously when they have to pony up big bucks.

Canada’s Most Exclusive Porsche

Oct 17 2014

So exclusive that a party was thrown in its honour (same place as the Macan launch, the Magna Golf Club.)

It’s a 2015 Pfaff 50th Anniversary Turbo S Exclusive Edition

560 hp
553 lbs-ft of torque
0 – 100 km/h in 3.1 seconds

Only 5 were built, by hand.

Why? Porsche and Pfaff Automotive have been in partnership for 50 years now, and to celebrate they produced this car. It’s Canada’s first Exclusive edition, the interior is a nod to our country’s colours, and the hood’s red pin stripe is a nod to Pfaff.

New blog header.

The sun goes down so quickly these days eh, had to switch to an HDR filter to better show you the garden party covered in 911s.

I’d track this colour, but never buy it.

Congratulations on 50 years to you both!

Subarus Come in Many Colours but One is Best

Oct 17 2014

World Rally Blue – the true colour of Subaru.

Even more specifically – this blue with gold rims, like Daniel Ponzini’s WRX.

Now _that’s_ a Subaru.

So Much Running Around Today Yuck

Oct 15 2014

Had to swap cars twice this week. My car yesterday wasn’t ready, because the auto journalist who was slated to return it didn’t, I have never done that in the 3 years I’ve been at this, and if you’re reading this, you owe me 200 km and 4 hours. But I now have my first Subaru WRX, and that’s awesome because non-car nerds: this is a good car, like a sleeper. So my style, and hello amazingly balanced on-ramps oh! I get torque vectoring now WOW why don’t more cars have this?! kk back to cleaning. My house. Again. By the time you get the ladder, I’ve finished the task. Had 2 trades here today, another 3 tomorrow, and I can’t ask them to remove their shoes just can’t, so hi welcome to the sandpit I own, the havoc this is wreaking on my mind oh M G TTYT
