Scandinavian Flickfest

Back in 2012 I wrote a piece called "The Scandinavian Flick" which has been read a great deal. It explains in detail the special technique in which the driver first creates countersteer in order to induce oversteer, a widely used driving style first used by the Swedish rally drivers. To read all about this technique, click here.

The reason for revisiting this piece is that Frederik Sorlie has returned in his Underground Garage Cressida JZX30 with some proper winter rallying on a snowy special stage - deep in the Norwegian Forest. To watch the video titled "Scandinavian Flickfest", please click here.

Personally I like how they've added eye candy into the mix, in that his navigator is professional rally co-driver Caroline Eng who also models on the side. Pretty cool stuff.

The video came to us by Magnus Walker's FB page.

The other day I stumbled on a photo of two regular car guys, who just followed their dreams and now truly enjoy their lives. The guys I am referring to are Magnus Walker and Jay Leno. Both have been featured on FulTrot and I always use them as examples of how one should just follow their dreams.

I guess lately I have been confronted by too many who seem to have lost their dreams along the way and are now just counting the days until retirement. Luckily there are a few who go against the grain and don't mind being labeled as silly or out of their minds. Kudos to these folk!

Thanks for reading and fueling my dream!

When you go off the beaten path, reward often follows.

Meet Magnus Walker, clothes designer and the World's most unlikely Porsche 911 collector.

A natural born dreamer, Magnus left Detroit for the West Coast and found out that, indeed, the grass was greener on the other side. He founded the clothing brand Serious Clothing in 1994, and followed it up with the "Rock Rebel" brand.
His mantra was to sell brand new clothing that felt and fit like your most used up and comfortable shoes.

The same passion he put into his clothing, found their way in the 911's. Well this is an obsession really, but I'd rather you hear it from the man himself.
Below you will find a trailer for the 30 minute documentary, which I highly recommend you to watch. Magnus' story is a great example that dreams do come true, of course, with hard work.

I will revisit this and expand in the future a bit more on Magnus and his 911's. In the meantime, if you can't wait, here is his blog: http://magnuswalker911.blogspot.com/

Thanks for reading.
