V8 Supercars at Olympic Park

December 7, 2009

As I’ve never been to a V8 Supercar race before; when the first ever V8 Supercar race at Olympic Park was held, I just had to go check it out!

I’ve never really been a fan of large family sedans going around a racetrack; but seeing these quickly changed my mind about that!

The sound these cars made was incredible, along with the loud backfire at every gearchange.. BANG! BANG! BANG!

They sounded absolutely crazy!

At some parts of the track the noise would echo off the buildings, and I really had to wear some earplugs if I wanted to have any hearing at all by the end of the day.

The whole atmosphere of the event was awesome.. there were lots of things to see and do with stalls, rides and food lining the area around the track. It was not unlike going to the easter show actually, and if you hadn’t been to Olympic park in a while, you wouldn’t have recognised it at all!

My pictures are below (unfortunately most of the car pictures were taken behind a fence, so there are grid lines on most of the pictures):

Wiiiiiiide 14

June 12, 2009

I have a friend with a really nice Nissan 200sx.

Its a wide body S14a.

Every widebody kit I’ve seen up until now has been pretty tacky….. this one however looks coherant and really complements the car; giving it that really aggressive, ‘don’t mess with me’ look.

It’s not just looks, this is a seriously fast car… if you see it closing in on your rear view mirror, I recommend you pull over and let it pass…
