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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

EVENT: Stretch And Poke – The First Edition

Posted: Monday, May 17th, 2010 by: Chris

David and Wilbert contacted me a while back about putting on a meet for like minded individuals up here in the GTA to showcase some of the local rides pushing real style and trying some new stuff. Of course that’s a killer idea! From that was born “Stretch and Poke” – a trial meet to [...]

EVENT: Gumball 3000 Pt2: Downtown

Posted: Thursday, May 13th, 2010 by: Chris

After seeing the Gumballers at Shannonville earlier in the day I must say the showing in Yorkville was a bit disappointing. Where was the SLR 722? Where was they Veyron? Besides a brief cruise down the street the majority of the marquee cars were safely tucked away. Still, there was plenty of exotic machinery on [...]

EVENT: Gumball 3000 Pt1: Shannonville

Posted: Wednesday, May 12th, 2010 by: Chris

Here we go kiddies, car nerds all over the GTA (myself included) have been muttering quietly about this event for the past few weeks since the route was formalized. Gumball 3000 came through Canada this year bringing with it the cars, some glitz, and a lot of crowds! The cars on the Gumball see a [...]

EVENT: A foggy ALMS Mosport 2009

Posted: Monday, August 31st, 2009 by: Chris

ALMS quite literally roared into Mosport this past weekend and having missed the past two years because of my stupid birthday landing on this weekend I was determined to go this time. Forsaking family and the girlfriend and donned my rain gear and went with a good friend who knows the track decently with the [...]
