Blown Big Block Stato - BIGV8 - Posted On: May 6th, 2008 By: AJ

After being a burnout competitor for just over two years, Leroy Rees has absolutely smashed the hell out of the industry. Last year alone he took home the winners trophys for Gazzanats Adelaide, Elite Pro Street Burnouts and Drag Tag 10k Burnout Challenge.

Even after all of his success, the “Loud Obnoxious C***” still has both feet firmly planted on the ground.

Everytime BIGV8 heads out on the pad, you can be assured of a great show. A true crowd pleaser in every sense, it has the mechanical muscle bulging out the bonnet, ear bursting exhausts and instant tyre smoke. The only downside to watching any of Leroys burnouts is that they are very short lived, a brand new set of 17″ tyres last on average 90 seconds when the loud pedal is flat to the boards.

Darwin Powercruise 2008 - Posted On: May 6th, 2008 By: AJ

The first thing that springs to mind about Darwin is what a beautiful place it is, great weather, hot back packers and cops that don’t seem too fussed about what speeds you travel at.

Our falcodore couldn’t do anymore than 205 on the speedo (GPS read 201). That’s flatout with four people, luggage and the A/C huffing and puffing – not bad for a stock standard taxi.

What we really went to the top end to see was all the action on track at Darwin Powercruise 13 2008. The biggest standout over the entire powercruise weekend would have to be the crowd. We’ve traveled all over Australia for events and not one single place has had the same atmosphere.
