Automotive Workshop: Project Binky - Episode 1 - Austin Mini GT-Four - Turbo Charged 4WD Mini (BadObsessionMotorsport)

One of my longest standing car enthusiast friends (going back to 2001) turned me on to this project built series, a few weeks ago, when I was getting my MK3 Golf serviced at his shop first time in years (more to come on that in a post sooner than later). I love quality car builds and this one is quite unique; Austin Mini, with the all-wheel drive, turbo charged power train from a Group B homologation special -- the Toyota Celica GT4 All-Trac. If you've followed this build already, great. If you haven't, try not to skip too far into the future as it's still going on currently.

Quick Vid: Audi S3 review (2013) (Autoblogger)

Our friends at Autoblogger check out the 2013 Audi S3 (8V). I'm still not sure why Audi won't bring this 3-door to America, but apparently knocking folks over the head (~40k) to get a Golf R, alone, is still better business for VAG than having two similarly priced high-end 3-door hatchbacks.

I guess this counts as sneak peek #2. BTW, we've received a couple questions on how to get the full-res image from our WPOTW posts. It's easy; for the newer ones just click the image and it'll route you to our original. For older posts just right-click (or two finger click on Mac) the image to 'open link in new tab/window'. You can then open the large version from our Photobucket archive then set it as your background picture. We'll be updating all previous wallpaper images to be single-clickers over the next week or so. Enjoy.

Baltimore Grand Prix 2013: Sneak Peek #1

This past weekends Baltimore Grand Prix was quite the three day adventure. The sun was shining, not a drop of rain to speak unlike last year and the sun was beaming. Did I mention it was warm? Our sweat and pain is your gain. We're working to get a few thousand things edited to share with you all along with a forthcoming official article per usual. In the meantime, thanks for sharing our posts and articles with your friends and hitting our website on a daily basis. You all, our readership, help showcase worthiness to get access to more major events and should continue to pay off in terms of your entertainment.
