H&R Recaps 2015 Wanderlust Mt. Baker Drive

BELLINGHAM, WA-  On a cool, summer morning, over sixty cars gathered at H&R Special Spring’s North American headquarters for the annual Mt. Baker Drive. Now in its eighth year, the Baker Drive is part of many H&R Wanderlust events that allow people who share a passion for cars and travel to come together.  Participants came from Seattle, Spokane, Portland, British Columbia, and the greater Bellingham area.  Volkswagens and Audis took up most of the real estate in the lot, however, there were also some cool Nissans, Hondas, Fords, and a Supra.  As take-off time approached, car talk quieted and the air filled with performance car exhaust.

The cruise up to the mountain was great.  Sunshine peeked through the trees glimmering onto sporty sedans and hot hatches as they hugged the super tight turns along the highway.  As the air got thinner, the trees opened to beautiful mountain views.  After about an hour and twenty minute drive time, the lead car rolled into the Heather Meadows parking lot.  Bordered by a new 2015 Mustang GT Premium Fastback and a trio of white VW Golfs, the H&R tent was loaded with food, posters, gift bags, and giveaway items – including a 32” TV, Meguiar’s Car Kits, and the coveted H&R Heute.  The H&R Heute is a traditional German-style hat that is given away at each Wanderlust event.  After grabbing a sandwich and gift bag packed full of H&R swag as well as items provided by University Volkswagen, hoods were popped and mods were envied.  Overall, the day was a perfect reflection of the Wanderlust spirit: people showing off their personal style while hanging out with new and old friends, talking about cars, and offering up some love for a great stretch of pavement.

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs. Beyond that, another league of supercars, dubbed hypercars have cropped up with hybrid gas-electric powertrains that make magical things happen quickly, but at the cost of the acoustic drama, visual flair, and engag...

PZM 73rd Rally Poland Kicks Off

The WRC is in Poland and after only one stage there are three Volkswagens in the top five. Today’s special stage at the Mikolajki Arena is the first stage, but the rally doesn’t begin in earnest until Friday. Today’s super special stage was less than two minutes long, and less than a second separates the top five drivers. Hyundai Motorsport’s Thierry Neuville tops the charts today, followed closely by Volkswagen’s Andreas Mikkelsen. Sebastien Ogier and Jari-Matti Latvala are in fourth and fifth, respectively. Expect Ogier to climb the rankings, though. Not only did he win the rally last year, he has won every year since 2013. And with rain expected on Friday, Ogier’s chances are even better. “If it’s a bit wet then I hope I can make some good times,” said Ogier earlier today. “The best would be some good rain during the night so it’s a damp surface and then not too bad weather during the day so specators can enjoy the show without being too wet.” If it is dry, though, speed is on ...
