Crossing the Dark Continent in a Light Truck
Have you ever thought about driving around the world one day? Could it be the ultimate road trip? Here at Gearbox Magazine, we love stories of people doing remarkable things with vehicles. Nick and Joanne Yu bought a used truck in South Africa, then drove it home… all the way to England. We caught up with them between adventures.
#GTKY: Top 3 Car Shows for Gearheads
We gearheads love looking at pictures of cars. From old school rat rods to the most modern of hyper-cars, it’s hard to get enough. Isn’t the internet great? This isn’t to say we don’t also like to attend car shows, but there’s just so many. How do we choose?
Back to the Past: Essen Motorshow 2010
Earlier this month, we showed you what the Essen Motorshow 2006 looked like. Today, we’ll skip some years (four, to be exact), and take a look how the event has evolved. To give a few hints: more classic cars, less bikes, more Opel, more Irmscher, more US classics, and less European classics…
Forum Friday #3: Gearhead News from Across the Web
We’re back, and we have the combination to the airlock!
Making Room for the New Vehicle
Some people get away with it. They come across a sweet deal on a new automotive project, they jump on it. They jump on it and they bring it home and – perhaps worst of all – they have room for it. We are not all so fortunate.
#GTKY: Your Favorite 70s Ride
Getting back into the swing of things, it’s Tuesday, so we’d like to get to know you better. Yesterday, we introduced you to Jason’s choice 1975 Mitsubishi Galant from Australia, 10+ years in the making. And what a sweet machine it is! Today we thought we’d ask you what your favorite classic car is, but how about we keep it to the 70s?
Refurbishing the Old Galant
Australia, 2005. After searching for almost five years, Jason finally found the car he was looking for: a ’75 Galant hardtop, with only 46,5k miles on the odo. After driving it for three months, the engine started to become smokey, and Jason stored the car until the time was ripe for a restoration. After almost another five years, Jason pulled the Galant out of storage and began his restoration, and the end result may most certainly be there!
A Walk Through History with Toyota
Toyota USA recently launched their new timeline Facebook page. They uploaded a lot of pictures, but what is most interesting is that they’ve uploaded many vintage pictures. They’ve made a few errors as well, but overall it’s a very nice move from Toyota USA – and we get to see quite rare (and a few never seen before) pictures!
2 Reasons Why You Want to Make International Gearhead Connections
It doesn’t matter what you drive, how you drive it, or where you drive it – there are 7Bn people on this planet and that means that, if you’re one-in-a-million, there are 7,000 people just like you. Since we launched this project, we’ve gotten to know gearheads all over the world. It’s truly incredible. Here’s 2 big reasons why you want to make international gearhead connections.
