The Devil’s in the details…
Posted: Wednesday, July 27th, 2011 by: Chris
For me what really makes cars of all vintages interesting is the details. Older vintages seem to have elements that pull me in, I can't speak to why, but there's something about certain awful plastic or even bakelite knobs, buttons, dials and gauges that is incredibly tactile... The details of these cars evoke so much more than just the style of the car itself - they ...

A worthwhile hiatus…
Posted: Monday, July 18th, 2011 by: Chris
It's been more than a while since I've made any postings on here, and the site has fallen into a bit of disarray. However, now that I'm picking up my camera a bit again I'll need somewhere to share what spews forth from it, so... we're back to regularly scheduled programming! In the meanwhile my time away from the scene was not spent idly, having ...

CSCS: Round 2 2011
Posted: Monday, July 18th, 2011 by: Chris
Since it's been a while since I posted, why not start off with an event I've missed the last couple of due to prior arrangements. As an event CSCS is always put on with a great amount of effort and support by sponsors and organizers. However from the perspective of entrant cars, there wasn't a lot new to see after missing the last couple of ...

EVENT: CSCS Extreme Tuner Challenge
Posted: Wednesday, August 25th, 2010 by: Chris
Aaaaaaand we're back. :) After a hiatus to refocus and re-energize I've decided to take NotSoStock on again but this time keep it as my own site and just let it live organically rather than try force it to be this or that. With that said, I decided to re-cut my teeth at this past weekend's CSCS event at Toronto Motorsports Park in Cayuga. This ...

EVENT: Stretch & Poke 2 – “HardParked”
Posted: Wednesday, June 9th, 2010 by: Chris
Well, the last one was a bit of a trial run, lets call it. That first event was such as success however, with over 120 cars showing up, that we decided to give it another go-round! David has teamed up with JDMEGO (if you don't know, you don't know) and we're going to try make this event even 'more'. The location is going to rotate ...

FEATURED: Jay’s Tuck’n Rolled M3 Vert
Posted: Wednesday, May 26th, 2010 by: Chris
Well it's been a little while since I posted up, and that's because I've been busy shooting some new rides. Fear not. I'd never let a social life get in the way. I ran into Jay's stunning black M3 convertible at a meet earlier this spring and knew right away I had to shoot this car. That was as far as I got. His idea was ...

TECHNICAL: A look at the ALMS GT BMW M3
Posted: Monday, May 24th, 2010 by: Randy
Having experienced the sights and sounds of and ALMS weekend in person last year for the first time, you can't help but have a few favourites that you tend to capture a few more photos.  For myself, the works GT BMW M3 cars are a couple of my favourites.  Everything from the refined but distinct sound of the inline motor, to the widebody fender flares ...

Time To Make Good Use Of That Printer At Work
Posted: Wednesday, May 19th, 2010 by: Chris
Look, your work probably wastes tonnes of money and paper every year printing off TPS reports or some other banal crap anyways, you might as well blend in some stuff that's really going to make worthwhile use of all those trees. Check out some of these ridiculously cool papercraft cars made by people with a lot of time, carpal tunnel syndrome, and probably near-sightedness. Oh ...
