A White Tie Affair | Audi R8 V8

This pristine white R8 is immaculate inside and out. Clad with a deep-growling aftermarket exhaust and minor exterior enhancements, this classy unit will turn heads without being over-the-top.

Next was the slalom course in the mid-engined Boxster S. Each driver was timed and the winner walked away with a prize at the end of the day.

GR8T Expectations...

Our 'Ribena Berry' is a real head-turner, dropped jaws and pointing-fingers are a common reaction at bus-stops and taxi-stands. But can it perform as well as it looks?

Built-in 'swimming pool' in the Miata

IN Mazda, Miata, MX-5, Fog lamps

I was warned to constantly clear any debris, leaves, twigs, etc from the Miata's canvas roof surrounds. Some negligence on my part produced quite an interesting result...

So what is it about this car that appeals? Well for starters, the C30 is a looker that would definitely attract the yuppie crowd with its stylish and chic design, turning heads as it cruises down Shenton Way.

Double Dose | A Pair of EVO GSRs

IN Evo, GSR, Yellow, White

What's interesting about these cars is that they belong to the same owner. Many people have two or more cars, but rarely does a person buy the same model, twice! It simply shows how great the Evo is.

Above base WRX will have current STi looks with augmented arches and large air-scoop.

Happenings

The last incarnation of our favourite boxer-clad rally machine was a bit of a disappointment, missing all the flared-arch fenders and gaping air dams, the response to the GR WRX was lukewarm, at best.

Exige S Type 72 features enlarged roof scoop (compared to the standard Exige S) and Lotus variable traction control and Lotus launch control.

Lotus Exige S Type 72

The Lotus Exige S Type 72 is a celebration of the most successful F1 car of all time, the Lotus Type 72 Formula One car, which achieved 20 Grand Prix victories between 1970 and 1975.

Looks like a ball from here. Just the way we pictured it!

16 inch deep dish XXR Wheels with 0 offset!

IN Mazda, MX5, Roadster, Deep dish, Wheels

Yup, you read that correctly, ZERO offset! The Miata is known to be a 'girly' car, so we decided to add more muscle to the car with these wide wheels.

Aggressive new front design an improvement on what was already one of the most handsome cars on our roads.

Swede Sensation | Saab 9-3 Combi 2.8T V6

IN Saab, 9-3, Black, Wagon, Swede

Having the top-of-the-line 2.8 turbo-charged engine is not enough for this 9-3 owner. Already pushing close to 300bhp at stage 1, he's not stopping and has already planned his stage 2 mods.
