A very expensive corner:

The painfully cliched trailer for the upcoming 'Need for Speed' feature film. Should be plenty of cool car action though:

The new Jaguar F-Type Coupe R both looks and sounds absolutely phenomenal. Turn up your speakers and enjoy:

Gastroparesis sufferer Megan Kondilas has started a blog about her experiences with her complicated health problems and illness during pregnancy:

An awesome short film featuring an 850hp Trophy Truck and Nissan GTR having some fun in the Mojave Desert:

Another Trophy Truck executes a full barrel-roll and near perfect landing:

If you have a fear of flying in planes you probably shouldn't watch this:

Liberty Walk's outrageously modified version of the Ferrari 458. It certainly polarizes opinions; while it may not drive all that well with the ride height and size of the rims, it certainly looks very tough indeed:

They're not afraid to take an angle grinder to Lamborghinis either:

An interesting photographic comparison of what a weeks' worth of food for a family looks like around the world: http://fstoppers.com/what-a-week-of-groceries-looks-like-around-the-world



Some in-car footage from Beau Yates' AE86 Toyota of the big drift crash at WTAC:  http://youtu.be/ZH0xl8X4Ewk



A preview clip for what looks to be a very interesting documentary movie based around the history and drivers of Formula 1 racing: http://youtu.be/ZHlK2HCh12U



American photographer Carli Davidson has taken some cool and hilarious studio photos of dogs shaking themselves dry: http://www.diyphotography.net/photographer-carli-davidson-makes-epic-portraits-splashing-dogs

Her website features a heap of excellent photography of animals and wildlife, and well worth spending some time on: http://www.carlidavidsonphotography.com/Pets/thumbs/



A preview of Gregory Heisler's stunning '50 portraits' book: http://strobist.blogspot.com.au/2013/10/an-all-nighter-at-vista-greg-heislers.html  I've already spent far too much on photography books over the past ten years or so, but the content looks fascinating.

A blog post by Nigel Petrie of Engineered to Slide fame, detailing his drifting experiences at World Time Attack over the weekend in his insanely awesome Hilux ute: http://engineeredtoslide.com/2013/10/wtac-weekend-wrap-up/



A video from WTAC, showing why it's not a good idea to rip a massive burnout on a high-speed corner with cars drifting behind you. Trashed a couple of awesome cars, including Anthony Cece's tough Cefiro.





A police officer in a Commodore paddy wagon makes a surprise house call, by driving through someone's brick fence and parking in their front yard, after being clipped by a turning car:  http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/law-order/police-car-crashes-into-fence-in-prahran/story-fni0fee2-1226743412064


A father of three gets busted driving at 191 km/h down the highway with his family: http://www.bordermail.com.au/story/1853609/road-to-disaster-police-fear-deaths-after-father-clocked-at-191kmh/?cs=53



Street racing isn't the best idea, especially if there's a police car behind you at the lights, but this guy got off pretty easy: http://blog.powerblocktv.com/cop-goes-easy-on-driver-caught-street-racing/



An interesting analysis of how cereal was created and subsequently advertised and marketed; in the early days one manufacturer claimed outlandish health benefits from eating his cereal, Grape-Nuts, saying it could cure appendicitis, raise your IQ, and make your blood redder: http://mentalfloss.com/article/20320/how-cereal-transformed-american-culture


A rare all-wheel drive Cefiro wreck up for sale that looks a little worse for wear: http://m.gumtree.com.au/1991-nissan-cefiro-awd-rare-wrecking-or-repair-whole-car-only/v?adId=1027926912#nissan
