Neo-Vintage: Alfa Romeos Are a Common Thread in One Family's Legacy (Petrolicious)

Someone once said you're not a true petrol-head until you own an Alfa. It's a bit harder in the states, but not impossible.

Enthusiast Topic: 2016 BMW M2: Sometimes the Sequel is Great, Too (MotorTrend)

You can now build one of these online, but there aren't many options. That's not necessarily a bad thing though; loaded it comes it at just about 54k.

Plenty of mospo this weekend, but let do a quick catchup on F1. Rosberg is on a roll, Haas F1 and Grosjean are on a roll, Vettel's engine blew up, Hamilton got lucky to not DNF'd after Bottas tapped him, Vandoorne could be one of the best ever and put McLaren in the points, Massa had a decent race, medium tires didn't provide long lasting performance, you don't want to qualify in 8th, FIA is sticking to their qualy format, but there will be new changes to it. Button DNF'd, Alonso is still trying to get a clean bill of health, Ricciardo is quick with this rebadged engine and Kimi finally got on the podium. China should be outstanding. With the smoke cleared the drivers standings are now as follows: Rosberg, Hamilton (-17), Ricciardo (-26), Raikkonen (-32), Grosjean (-32), Vettel (-35), Massa (-36).

Enjoy your weekends.

Enthusiast Topic: RWB ATLANTA - CAROLINA - THE BOSSES CAR (BrettMay)

Nakai-san builds a whip for when he's in the states. Going with a 993 was a good decision.
