First off I would like to apologize in advance if these videos have been posted before. I searched through this thread and did not find them (not saying they're not there, I probably just missed them), I also do not have the search function so they very well might have been posted in another thread. Considering the absolutely mind blowing nature of these videos, I would not be surprised. In case they have not

This series of videos depicts the conquest of a crazy swede restoring an old Z.

The company that built this monstrosity has their website address embedded into the video. On said site, they have a media gallery of even more videos related to that awesome rotary goodness.

There are no videos of it yet, but there is also no way I'm starting a new thread for this. It does at least classify as media. Especially since it might be a repost.

Anyways, this might make me a redneck but I like the idea. Behold, the BMW M5 UTE http://www.m5ute.com/index.htm

This will be the third time I've done this now and as always I'll be pushing my luck since the link does not contain videos but it does contain pictures. Very very awesome pictures. The reasons are the same as always, there's no way I'm starting another thread for this. Although it probably does deserve one.

The project is ongoing so the owner has pictures scattered throughout the thread. I would also like to state at this point that this man is my hero and I would sell my soul to own his finished product.

This is the best automotive video I've seen in I don't know how long. This is what drifting would be if it didn't suck. Seriously, if there was a series of this, all other forms of racing would be out of business. Watch it now.

Yup, I most certainly have a new favorite from of motorsports.

Wonder how that STI is set up suspension wise.

Not really relevant to this thread, but certainly the discussion. Are all of your car friends vocal republicans? It seems like all of my car friends do the usual complaining about democrats and masks and refugees etc. I need better car friends. I don't know what it is about cars and chuds but they seem to entirely overlap. I know it's a spicy topic so I apologize in advance.

All my automotive friends save for one (although he does have an account) I know from AI. And based on our recent federal election vote compass results, are all further left than I am. (I ended up with almost total overlap of the green party....)
Although, that might be :canada: skewing things a bit.
