The Isle of man is well known in the motorcycle world as one of the world’s premier TT events and now the excitement and insanity of that event has been captured on video. The first few seconds of the video alone are just amazing.

One of our favorite auto makers is Caterham and we are anxiously awaiting the debut of their new street car, but today they teased us with a picture of their latest track car. As you can see from the picture it’s supercharged and looks very much like a 7 from that angle. In October all will be revealed.

It’s hard to believe that Autoshow season is just around the corner, but the summer does fly. Today we learned that Honda will show a refreshed version of it’s CR-Z at Paris on October 23. We aren’t sure what that means, except there is a teaser video running around that shows some updated head lights with LEDs, an S+ button, and Honda says both the fuel and electric engine have gotten a much needed horsepower bump. Rumors of course have been abound that we would see a turbo CR-Z soon and maybe Paris is the place. We will find out soon enough.

Back at the White Hall Drag O Way Reunion we find yet another example of a great hot rod. I got admonished for calling this a traditional hot rod earlier so I’ll just call it a hot rod. There are as many different ideas of what the different categories of hot rod are as there are hot rods so I’ll just keep it general for now. What we do know is this is an excellent example of a 37 Ford with lots of custom touches and it’s shined to perfection.

Steve Brueck is a different kind of crazy, he’s my kind of crazy. Not only is he a car guy but he’s a weather guy too, that puts him in this rare elite nerd area reserved for those of us who probably should be in white padded rooms. I had seen Steve hanging out around the same weather haunts that I do for a good while now, but it was his post on his 2100 mile round trip to the SCCA Solo National Championships that made me have to get ahold of him to do an article. Graciously he accepted my offer. I think you guys will love this build, it is not your usual Auto X build, you see it is a Jeep, well sort of.
