<p>The <a href="http://www.egarage.com/car-profiles/1970-pontiac-firebird/">blog post from on eGarage</a> includes the reasoning behind the look and performance the Tom was looking for. All I know if the car looks amazing and I had to share the complete car on here.</p>
<p>As well as having the perfect stance and presence, under the &#8216;hood&#8217; sits a 1200bhp 7.8l (475 cubic inch) twin turbo V8 built by Brian Moat/All Speed Customs, based in Muskegon Heights, Michigan.</p>
<p>The car is an amazing example of retro styling perfectly mixed with modern day technology to create a one of a kind tarmac munching monster.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Spotted this video while wasting time today. Though it was a pretty cool idea.

Bil Balwin is a marshal at the Formula Drift series at Long Beach and is famous for having nerves of steal and a beard that most men would die for. Bil has stood in the same spot at each race on the Long Beach track and doesn&#8217;t even flinch when a car is drifting only millimetres away.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>These days, a car with a large spoiler is often dismissed offhand as being &#8216;chav&#8217; or &#8216;barry&#8217;, even when the car came out of the factory with said spoiler (i&#8217;m looking at you Evo&#8217;s).</p>
<p>Well, fear not, as there is a new use for massive spoilers that is so awesome you can&#8217;t help but love them once again.</p>
<p>Of course I am being silly, but the following car is far from your typical chav wagon, even though it has a wide-arch kit, bonnet vent and a massive spoiler.</p>
<p>The car is owned by Jon from <a href="http://jon-olsson.com/?p=8473">jon-olsson.com</a> and is a mean looking, wide carbon fiber arched Audi R8 with a rear spoiler being used to prop-up a carbon fiber ski box.</p>
<p>As words say a thousand words, enjoy them below, and for more info on the car and the ski box, check out the <a href="http://jon-olsson.com/">jon-olsson site</a>.</p>

<p>As most of you will probably already know, the wheel maker HRE have created a new range of wheel to pay homage to the most popular &#8216;<a href="http://www.hrewheels.com/category/street/street-collection/vintage-series/">Vintage</a>&#8216; wheels of days gone by, but with slight updates to the designs. Unlike your normal replica BBS Split rims, the new vintage series wheels from HRE are top quality and have been made with as much, or even more love and attention to detail than many other top quality wheels on the market today.</p>
<p>Now, I wonder if they do them in 14&#215;8&#8242;s for the Rocco <img src='http://blog.swdubs.co.uk/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Why visiting the <a href="http://retrorides.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&amp;action=display&amp;thread=123807">Retro Rides forum</a> today I stumbled across something really rather good.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.fastcar.co.uk/2011/10/modified-mk1-ford-fiesta-2011-10-13/">Mk1 Fiesta</a> in question belongs to Neil Davies and has recently been featured within Fast Car Magazine. The Fast Car site has a nice little write-up of the car, but in short, its a complete refurbished mk1 Fiesta with a 2.0l 16v supercharged engine pumping out 285 bhp through the front wheels.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Overall the car looks great and sounds like it commonly upsets some much more expensive cars.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It would seem that Audi are gearing up to release the new RS5 coupe and has released a new promo video of the car in action.</p>
<p>The new RS5 will sport a 450bhp 4.2 V8 and will rocket to 62mph in just 4.2 seconds. Audi are keeping the front end styling that they have sported in the last few years, but with a little more flare and the classic RS wide arches that we have come to expect from the top of the line Audi&#8217;s.</p>
<p>Thanks to <a href="http://germancarscene.com/">German Car Scene</a> for the original post and below YouTube video.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While mincing around Google+ (<a title="SWDubs Google+" href="https://plus.google.com/117138455848363402790">SWDubs Google+ Page</a> <img src='http://blog.swdubs.co.uk/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  ) I found something a little different in both the VW and HotRod world. The following video is of a GSXR motor bike engined VW Beetle HotRod that has been built by Hudlow Axle in Georgia.</p>
<p><a href="http://blog.swdubs.co.uk/01/2012/gsxr-powered-vw-bug-hotrod-from-the-us/428 /gsxr-engined-beetle-hotrod" rel="attachment wp-att-429"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-429" title="GSXR Engined Beetle HotRod" src="http://blog.swdubs.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/gsxr-engined-beetle-hotrod-620x263.jpg" alt="GSXR Engined Beetle HotRod" width="620" height="263" /></a></p>
<p>The car is actually a space frame with custom made front and rear axles with a VW Beetle body. The bike engine is actually in the front of the car with a custom made fuel cell sitting in the usual place of the Beetles engine.</p>
<p>The creators certainly do not mind driving the car, with the video showing some nice drifts while testing the car on an empty road. I am not too sure the right rear is supposed to have quite so much movement, but that might be on the &#8216;to-do&#8217; list.</p>
<p>Check out this made machine.</p>
