  • Petrolicious: Time Machine [VIDEO]

    Petrolicious-Time-Machine-THUMBHave you ever wondered what a car’s life would be like? Of course, I don’t expect from you a positive answer, but just a rising interest of what it is all about. If I have done this, then you should definitely watch this video, where the fellows from Petrolicious follow one Peugeot through its circle of life.

    The video below tells the story of Venisio Pagani from Cortona, who’s passion is to restore old cars that have history and stand out from the crowd immediately. He shows a Peugeot which he has found by accident at a swap meet.

    But what made the car so special to him was the fact that back in the days his father had driven the same model. You will also hear how Venisio restored this car and what challenges had he faced during this process. And more importantly what kind of “surprise” eventually had he found …

  • Petrolicious: When Outrageous Was Possible

    Petrolicious-THUMBThe new project Petrolicious is gaining more popularity because the crew is working hard to deliver to all fans of vintage cars excellent footages of some of the rarest model. Such one is Lamborghini Countach, the story of which you can hear in the first seconds of the video below.

    This model of Lamborghini debuted back in the distant 1971 and as the owner James Chen admits it was an “outrageous” car. Because it is not very organic, and in fact it has origami-like forms, it looks very aggressively on the road.

    Back in those years the art form known as coachbuilding existed. Back then, the coach builder did not have to compromise his vision due to government regulations. And this is how the Lamborghini Countach was born.

    If you are curious to want more about this Lamborghini and to know the true meaning of the word “exotic” then what you need to do is to take a look on this exciting footage:

  • Petrolicious: Man of Morgan

    A new exciting project has just gone live and its name is Petrolicious. The web platform will focus on high quality content for vintage cars and the people working behind the project are promising some great stuff coming down the line.

    A new video will air once a week starting with the one below named “Man of Morgan”. The story it tells is about Derek Wilburn of Long Beach, California, who is a collector of many things and of Morgan’s history.

    In fact you will see in the footage that his house and garage hold enough intriguing items. Definitely this is the vintage shopper’s paradise, filled with antiques, bicycles, and other. However the true passion of Wilburn is the Morgans (I can relate to this pretty well).

    Building and restoring the automobiles has been something which happened in his everyday life since childhood. You can literally see Derek’s joy when he talks about Morgans!

  • Depth of Speed: Back To Life [VIDEO]

    Back-to-Life-DOF-THUMBWe are always awaiting the next Depth of Speed video passionately! This time Josh Clason has made an incredible footage about a legendary car which was so uniquely transformed that no one could possible imagine that this is achievable.

    Joel, the owner of a 1982 Volkswagen Rabbit, entirely modified his car implementing an interesting theme and details onto it. For example the leather hood straps were made from belts. The steering wheel was wrapped in leather and the emblems were hand-painted.

    Furthermore, an exquisite work can bee seen in the interior. In fact, Joel upholstered the seats himself from some old leather jackets. This tuning is so impressive, that it is hard to believe that this is the first car Joel had ever built!

    Just take a look at the video below and you won’t regret it!
