Every once in a while, I get the urge to get out from behind my computer and quench my thirst for adventure.

In previous Wants, we took a look at cars that embraced the essence of Gran Turismo. These include vehicles like the Toyota Supra and the Nissan Skyline.

If you happened to be the area of Blaenau Ffestiniog in (obviously) Wales recently, you might have been treated to an unusual aerial display.

The 2018 Goodwood Festival of Speed really does have something for everyone. Even films buff got a chance to see two iconic movie stars take to the course on Thursday. No, it wasn’t gearheads like Tom Cruise or Matt LeBlanc. Instead, it was the 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback and Dodge Charger R/T 440 from Bullitt.

From windmills to wooden shoes, the Dutch are known for many things. However, performance cars are pretty low on that list, especially for a country that loves bicycles.
