The 1965 Winternationals was a very special race. Normally a 3 day event, bad weather crammed the entire schedule into one long Sunday! Consequently, film of this historic event is extremely rare. Fortunately, in 2007, an estate sale in Tacoma WA, yielded 2 cans of color 8 mm footage! This rare film was converted to digital and edited for continuity. The results are this DVD- The 1965 Winternationals. The film reels also contained about 5 minutes of a stop in 1965 Las Vegas, and that's included here too! Look closely for the carpeted sidewalks, vintage casino show marquees (Collins Kids!), hip girls, and a cool Oldsmobile 442! Add the mid- 60's music of Jerry Cole, King of the Hot Rod Guitar and member of the famous group of LA studio musicians known as 'The Wrecking Crew', and you have a perfect trip into the Golden Age of Drag Racing!
Cars and racers include: Gas Ronda in the new '65 fiberglass Mustang, 2 Stone Woods & Cook cars, KS Pittman, Don Garlits, The Little Red Wagon doing wheelies, The Pulsator, fTrends Corvette, Tom McEwen in the Plymouth Dealers' FIRST HEMI CUDA (crashed the next week at Lions), Butch 'California Flash' Leal in the brand new Mopar factory altered-wheelbase Hemi A/FX (the FIRST FUNNY CAR!), Ramchargers, 'Grumpy' Jenkins, Tommy Grove in the Melrose Missile, Miss "Hurst Golden Shifts" for 1965 Pat Flannery, Roland Leong, Tommy Ivo, dragsters, altereds,gassers ...and so much more you'll be exhausted after watching! About 1/2 hour long, over 150 launches & races, footage of the crowds, and wandering the pits. Factory sealed DVD in custom case. This DVD was exclusively sold through a restoration shop, which is now gone. Ads for it ran in Mopar Muscle, Car Kulture Deluxe, Hemmings and Mopar Collector's Guide. The partners split up the business and one still operates under the shop name, though it's primarily a parts business now. Multiple copies available- great Christmas / Holiday gift for the gearhead!

Bentley SUV EXP 9 F: The Genesis +video
Thu, 08 Mar 2012The Bentley SUV EXP 9 F arrives at Geneva Bentley has sent us video explaining the EXP 9 F SUV Concept, and we’ve talked to UK owners and dealers about the new SUV. There’s no doubt Bentley are serious about producing the EXP 9 F – or a variation of it – as Bentley’s first SUV (but perhaps not their first ‘Truck’) simply because the market demands it. But the EXP 9 F that arrived at Geneva this week really wasn’t what anyone was expecting; it seems to have the nose of the Mulsanne bolted on to a very square body with a big hatch at the back and looks more like a truck than a sporty or luxury SUV.
VW Golf Plus unveiled at Bologna motor show
Wed, 03 Dec 2008By Ben Pulman Motor Shows 03 December 2008 10:20 Volkswagen used today’s Bologna motor show to unveil its Mk2 Golf Plus, the third Golf model (after the three- and five-door hatchbacks) to get Wolfsburg’s latest looks. That new nose is indeed the obvious change. The headlamps, now with daytime running lights, receive a little nip on the inner edges and the two-bar grille is now in high-gloss black.
100 years of Aston Martin
Thu, 28 Feb 2013The history of Aston Martin is peppered with brilliant cars: the 1.5-liter, the Ulster, the DB4, the Zagato. The list is endless. Beautiful, yet powerful, on the road; glamorous, yet quick, on the track, Aston Martin has come to personify that special variety of tasteful, very British gentleman's sports car.
