When you have spent the majority of your summer weekends growing up alongside drag strips watching your dad run down the quarter mile, there is a strong likelihood that you’ll follow in their footsteps. Marc Huxley was that kid. At the 14th Annual Retro Toyota Gathering last year, Marc brought along his stunning KE20 Toyota Corolla drag car. […]
When Hironao Yokomaku began working at a French restaurant aged 16, little did he know how much he’d influence Japan’s car culture in the decades that followed. Now aged 63, the Tsukuba-based tuner shows no signs of slowing down having just unveiled a new project alongside Fast & Furious actor Sung Kang. Because for nearly four […]
The first event of the year is always special. It’s like being lost in a desert and then catching a glimpse of an oasis. As the UK automotive season winds down with the arrival of winter, the first event you plan to attend in the new season feels like a beacon of hope. This was […]
If you’re reading this, I think there’s a good chance you have at least one V12-engined car in your ‘Top 10’ list. My dream collection wouldn’t be complete without a Lamborghini Miura SV, a Mercedes-Benz SL70 AMG and an Alpina B12 Coupé. I’d also have a Mercedes-AMG S65 as a daily and a Ferrari Enzo […]
As cliché as it sounds, it feels like it was only yesterday the last time I updated everyone on Project Rough’s journey. That feeling of ‘only yesterday’ translates into over two years of reality. It’s mind-boggling to me that 24 months have already passed. However, the fact that my youngest is approaching three and constantly tries to […]
As a nation famed for its patience, discipline, and peace of mind, the Japanese seem to have a habit of restoring the most unforgiving and uncompromised race cars to the road. Probably the most famous – or most documented, at least – is Takeshi Moroi’s Porsche 962C featured by Dino back in 2012. Decades earlier, […]
With another year passing since any form of SH Garage update on my two project cars – Project Spec C and Project Levin – I could dig into the excuse book for multiple reasons as to why. Spare time has been a limiting factor, but being able to use one car while work continued with the […]
I’m going to cast my loyalties aside and admit it: Mercedes-Benz has been making some of Germany’s best cars for over a century. Not just Germany but the whole world, for that matter. I don’t think that’s up for debate either, no matter how many cubic inches you like under the hood or how many waifu […]
If you’re going to build a cool car, you’d better give it a cool name. There’s so much to love about hot rodders. The can-do-will-do, belt-it-until-it-breaks attitude they have towards building and racing cars, the sense of community that encourages the wild and ingenious, and of course, the badass names they give their creations. I […]
When you walk into a place like the Moco Museum, you expect to see names that have shaped modern and contemporary art – Andy Warhol, Jeff Koons, Keith Haring, and Jean-Michel Basquiat, among others. But when I stepped through the doors of their London facility, I didn’t anticipate finding myself face-to-face with something that spoke directly […]
