Yep, it’s the ‘no harness’ bit that makes it interesting. Granted, she could be in danger wearing no racing harness while riding shotgun in a full-on drift car, but belts could have obscured the view, and no one would watch the video then! Another drawback with wearing harnesses in this case would be limited movement, [...]

This rather weird thing you see above is a dragster in the ditch. Now, that’s not something you see everyday, of course, because dragster are only unleashed at a dragstrip.

Cool: Army Green Lamborghini Aventador
Thursday, March 22, 2012 11:52 by Arman Barari 1 Comment
Lamborghini Aventador is not the kind of car you want to use as a military vehicle, not because of its half a million dollar price tag – most military vehicles cost more than that – but because it’s not very practical. But you have to say, it does make a very cool assault vehicle for [...]

We don’t usually feature motorbikes because, well, we don’t like motorbikes, because we don’t like the way you have to dress before riding them. This one though, this is too cool to be taken for granted. For starters, it’s a Ducati, a Ducati Monster no less, and it’s been styled by another great Italian brand, [...]

Tuesday, March 13, 2012 12:05 by Arman Barari No Comments
Last year we told you about a new show Richard Hammond was making for the BBC America. Turns out it’s not called ‘Hard Drive’ as we’ve previously been told.

Saturday, February 4, 2012 15:00 by Arman Barari No Comments
Arab drifting culture is a bit different than the rest of the world. It’s just a tad more crazy, and dangerous! And more often than not, it ends up prematurely. It first popped up on the radar seven or eight years ago when a video of a couple of Arab daredevils doing insane tricks with [...]
