Enkei RPF1 + Ford Maverick = JDMUSDM?

January 30, 2012 admin 8 Comments

FORD MAVERICK on ENKEI RPF1 — When I think of a Ford Maverick, I think of the 70’s compact car that sort of looked like a big Ford Pinto. I used to see them around when I was a kid, but now they are nearly extinct in my area. Add some lowering and some Japanese Road Wheels [ Enkei RPF1 ], and a total transformation has occured. – Enkei RPF1 on Ford Maverick

This Ford Maverick now looks like a Road Warrior! – Enkei RPF1 on Ford Maverick

Celebrity Datsun Collector – Adam Carolla

December 29, 2011 DR Leave a comment

Adam gettin’ down on the track!

Many celebrities are known for thier car collection. Jay Leno has whole warehouse full of unique cars. Tim Allen and Frankie Munoz have thier collections. Jerry Sienfeld as a nice Porsche collection. Now what sets Comedian and host of “The Car Show’s” Adam Carolla’s Car Collecion Apart? He Collects Datsuns, yes the common man’s econobox maker from Japan, Datsun. Don’t get him wrong, he does have Lambo’s and Ferrari’s, but he has some nice top notch Historical Datsuns.

What a beautifully restored s30

“Scattered throughout the room, bathed in natural light from large windows, we found a Datsun Camel GT pace car built by Bob Sharp parked next to a Paul Newman / Bob Sharp Racing IMSA 300ZX. A few feet away, sitting next to the tool cabinets with its rear wheels riding on rollers to ease movement around the shop, was a custom Datsun Roadster 1600 racer with radically-flared fenders in bright orange. (Adam hasn’t raced each of these, and he may never, but he currently participates in his share of on-track competitions in his stunning Bob Sharp Datsun 610.)”
