1963 Aston Martin DB4 GT Lightweight.

The DB4 model, produced from 1958 until 1963, was the car that put Aston Martin firmly in the sports coupe segment and started the iconic look that would define the brand throughout the next decades. If you look closely, styling cues from this car can still be found in modern Aston Martin models. Aston made […] 1963 Aston Martin DB4 GT Lightweight.

Catch of the Day – 1972 BMW Bavaria.

I must confess that this series of posts has become quite enjoyable to write. It allows me to dig deep into my endless collection of digital photos and revisit the stories behind each one. These pictures I took in 2016, when I was working as a detailer at the Birchwood Collision Center in Winnipeg. It was my first job in Canada....

Picture of The Day – Downtown Toronto.

A few months ago, I started a series of posts called Catch of the Day, where I shared interesting (at least to me) pictures of cars I found on the streets. But I also love collecting pictures of interesting machines I find on the corners of the internet. Although they have less merit to me since I am not the one who took them, they have, in one way or another, some significance....

James Dean

The love affair between celebrities and motorsports is a well-known fact. For some stars, it looks like their daytime job sole purpose is to provide means for their motorized hobbies. The best examples are Steve McQueen and Paul Newman, who achieved greatness in both acting and racing. Other contemporary examples include Patrick Dempsey, who started as an amateur driver and later became a team manager, and Keanu Reeves, a passionate bike enthusiast who loves riding classic Nortons and is a co-founder of Arch Motorcycles....

Catch of The Day – Cybertruck

No, I never thought I would publish a post featuring a Tesla, after all, they are the opposite of what we would call "classic machine", but I believe this catch of the day has some relevance to the dangerous times we are living in. First of all, it is impossible to talk about Tesla without mentioning the guy who produces them, Elon Musk....

Sergio’s Pictures – Carambeí Historical Park.

Our Brazilian photo correspondent, Sérgio Devens Florentino, has once again amazed me with a stunning collection of pictures from another of his adventures. This time, he visited the charming little town of Carambeí. The city is situated in Paraná state, in the southern part of Brazil. It was established on April 4, 1911, by a group of Dutch immigrants....

Classic Rock – The Down Under controversy.

If you haven't been living under a rock for the past 40 years, chances are you listened to at least one song performed by the Australian rock'n roll band Men at Work at some point in your life. But if you are an old timer like me, who was young in the 1980s, you probably listened to their songs a hundred times or more....

Catch of the Day: The Fusca Bar.

It is easy to explain the passion we, Brazilians, feel for the VW Beetle. The car was fundamental to the motorization and industrialization of Brazil, being the best-selling car in the country for 23 consecutive years (1959-1982). "A car you can sell to a friend and you won't loose the friend" Produced nationally from 1959 onwards, it consolidated Volkswagen, boosted the automotive industry, offered toughness for the roads of the time, and became a cultural symbol of accessibility and reliability....
