About Hi, I'm Alex, I live in Brisbane on the east coast of Australia, and I love muscle cars, well actually anything with a motor tied to it, Street Machines, Hot Rods, Kustom Kulture, sports, The Fast & the Furious imports and stock original muscle, we all come under the umbrella of car enthusiasts. Normal everyday people just don't get it, the automotive zombies that use a car just for transporting them from A to B. It is so much more, your pride and joy, the smell of the upholstery as you open the door, the feel of the seat as you get in it, the grasp, the texture of the gear stick in your hand, the turn of the key in the ignition, the burble and roar of the engine as you fire it up, the sensation of freedom you feel as you back out the driveway, the eagerness you have driving your chariot, your passion down the road. The pleasure and certainty you have taking off, absconding with your vehicle far away from the every day, the worries and stress you leave behind. We capture, guard and enjoy a nostalgic piece in time every opportunity we get to leave the garage and do this. The euphoria of cutting loose, escaping mediocrity, hitting the road, going where your heart desires, just you and your machine because "it's not the destination, the journey is the destination"! Then when you find a partner or companion with a hunger and craving as voracious as you have, the desire, the thirst of all things automotive, Nothing and I mean NOTHING comes even close to this exhilaration of abandonment, when you can share this obsession, this adventure with another, who has the same enthusiasm as you do. To experience those long drive's on a starry night side by side, be captivated by the same encounter, cruising till the sun comes up, that is to live! Love the beast. Hope you enjoy my blog. *No copyright infringement is intended*

Balthus: The Last Studies at Gagosian Gallery offers a kind of endnote to Balthus: Cats and Girls — Paintings and Provocations, the exhibition a couple of blocks away at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It’s a denouement that disentwines the cultured from the creepiness in Balthus’ work, leaving only the latter intact.

In 1976, Arthur Haywood, a Tasmanian engineer and off-road enthusiast, developed a prototype for a four-wheel drive car based on the H-series Holden Kingswood. His prototype used a Holden Sandman utility chassis, and featured GM’s standard 5-litre V8 engine and auto 'box. While receiving consultative services from GM, the project was funded and developed by Haywood’s Launceston based company, Vehicle Engineering and Modifications. Based on the normal Holden HJ/HX/HZ models, Haywood completely reconfigured the running gear. A substantial subframe at the front made a chassis frame strong enough to support the new leaf-spring front suspension; the original Holden suspension being double wishbones with coil springs which could of course not be adapted to a live axle. A Dana M20 transfer case was sourced from America, while those axles front and rear are Dana 44 and 60 items respectively. Over a three-year production period between 1976 and 1980 around 80 Overlanders were produced, despite the capacity to turn out many more. Ill health forced Haywood to close down operations for some time, but production restarted in 1982, concentrating on Overlander station wagons. The last of these was built in 1989. During the 14 year production run the they produced 120 Overlander 4WDs. This particularly example is for sale; the actual press car from 1978, has the 5-litre V8 attached to a Turbo 400 transmission and the Dana axles; yours for AUD $48,000 (approx. £32k). Only problem is that its in Australia... You could drive it back; there not much that will stop it... More Overlander history here. For when normal 4WD is not enough; this completely mental snowmobile conversion. Great for the school run in December.
