After Work…

After a long stressful day at the office, Ruckus and I decided, why not take out the camera gear and take some shots at the office garage.  The MK4 is the same VW featured in our V1.2 of the Magazine.  More to come from these cars.

Senner Tuning A1

The Audi A1 just launched not to long ago and already Senner Tuning, a German based tuning company, has stepped up to the plate.  They decided to bump the 108bhp 1.6 TDI motor to a tune of 138bhp.  If the power upgrade is not enough for you, Senner offers a complete tuning package including adjustable KW suspension, upgraded Barracuda T6 wheels, sport exhaust and even special paint.  As one of the first companies to offer a complete package for the A1, we can surely see the potential. I just can’t wait to see what other companies have in store for the new A1.

2012 Porsche Boxster Set for the ‘Ring

Seen going around the ‘Ring is the new 2012 Porsche Boxster.  The car was getting some final testing done before the car gets debuted later this year or early next year in time for the Geneva Show.  Expect a minor face lift along with a few motor tweaks, but the biggest change is the possibility of a 4 cylinder motor.  We’re curious as to what 4 banger in the VAG catalog they would use.  Porsche definitely hooked up the Boxster for some serious testing as you can see in the pictures.

Cars That Have Moved On

We all, or I should say most of us have had a few different cars and modified them.  There comes a time though when we move on because the car is wrecked, we can not afford it or just want something different.  Regardless of what the reason is, it is always nice to take a look back at some of our older cars.
