Enter Barry Ashmole from Stellenbosch, Cape Town. He is definitely no stranger to rodding, having been introduced to it by none other than Harry Corbett back in the mid-eighties, Barry brings a very different (some may say opinionated if they are being kind) approach to what is right, and wrong with the way we have always done things. 

There are so many of us who could only dream about surprising someone special in our lives with their dream car. For brothers Mitch and Mike Rodrigues, this dream became a reality. Mitch is a huge Mustang fan and has a 1966 Mustang Coupe and Mike has always been a huge fan of the 1968 Chevrolet Camaro.

Drag racing is the cornerstone of any American octane-filled breakfast and as American as well Apple pie .American Apple pie.

Jacques took this 1968 Chrysler Barracuda and made it into something unique and I must say that it suits him perfectly.

Ringbrothers, the world-renowned custom car builder and parts manufacturer, has unveiled its latest creation, dubbed PATRIARC. The new build pushes the limits of performance and aesthetics of one of Americas most iconic muscle cars, the 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1. Therefore, as a result of over 5,000 meticulous and laborious build hours, PATRIARC combines a modern drivetrain, suspension and chassis with the superior build quality and custom work Ringbrothers is known for.

But only 197 Kenmeri Skyline GT-Rs ever made it out of the factory. Not because there were fewer than 200 couples called Ken and Mary willing to buy a Skyline, but for a few other reasons.
