Carspotting Through a Lens...

Hey ya'll, how's it going? Haven't posted any car stuff in a while on this blog (whole different story with the carvideos, check 'em out HERE) so I had an idea, that since I'm not on Instagram (yeah that's right) but I often snap a photo or two of the SUPERCARS and/or MUSCLE CARS that I spot, with these pics I'd show (some) of the coolest cars of recent months that I've come across...

Sound any good? Well anyways, here goes...

Oakley Design Lamborghini Aventador LP760-2. This beauty was sitting on ADV.1 wheels, in Monaco.

1971 Dodge Challenger Convertible 472 HEMI. This classic muscle car beauty sounded fastastic! Video coming up soon...

Ferrari 458 Italia w/ a few Mansory carbon parts. Spotted in Cannes.

Supercharged Corvette C5 w/ NOS

Got to ride shotgun in this LOUD beast, loved it! Check out the VIDEO (click here)

Camera I use for photos is the brilliant Sony NEX-5N with a few E-Mount lenses, I mostly shoot with a SEL35F18 and SEL1855 (sometimes I have to snap a photo in a hurry, I use my videocam, the Sony PJ780, like with this Charger pic below)

STUNNING 1969 Dodge Charger R/T, think there's an atom bomb under the hood...

Video coming soon!

McLaren P1, spotted in Geneva during the Motor Show.

So there you have it folks, but remember these pictures and cars are just the tip of the iceberg, there's a lot more photos where these came from, but mostly there's a lot of videos and carspotting material of cars just like these on the JAMBOOLIO YOUTUBE CHANNEL, so I hope you'll head over there and be sure to SUBSCRIBE (it's free you know!) so you'll not miss any of the upcoming videos, thank you! 

Automotive Friday

Had a great time last weekend in Helsinki, and as you might have guessed it, trip there was pretty much all about cars. Not entirely, but for the most parts; cars, cars, cars.
First it was time for the annual American Car Show / Tuning Car Show. After that some carspotting in the centre Helsinki, and in the evening loud V8 engines and smoky burnouts at the Vantaa Cruising (aka Vanda Cruising).
But like before, rather than me blabbering about these things too much, it's better to show you some photos / videos, enjoy!

Had a great chat with Mika Kosola from the Team Black Bull Power! We talked about last years Gumball 3000 rally which they drove with a 1967 Shelby GT500 Mustang (check out the video below), and about their plans for this years Gumball. Thanks Mika, hope to see you soon!

BMW xDrive treats

Last week I had the pleasure to try out some awesome new BMW xDrive four-wheel drive models, mainly the all new 4-Series, 435i M Sport xDrive Coupe F32 in the very lovely Estoril Blue color to be precise.

What moves this sport coupe is a 3.0-liter TwinPower Turbo inline 6-cylinder, 24-valve engine mounted to an 8-speed Sport Automatic transmission with paddle shifters, producing 306 HP and 400Nm / 295 lb-ft of torque, same as in the sedan 335i F30 version.

You'll be able to hear some cool exhaust burble this car makes (and more) in a video at the end of this post.

Got my hands also on a X5 M50d F15, product of BMW's own M Division. This beast is a huge premium class SAV (Sports Activity Vehicle), but with a tri-turbo (!!) 3.0-litre straight-six diesel producing 381 horsepower and 740 Nm / 545 lb-ft of torque this thing really moves. 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) acceleration time is only 5.4 seconds, top speed is limited to 250 km/h (155 mph).

Lastly, I wasn't able to drive this beauty, but checked out all the details of this Melbourne Red 2014 BMW 328i F30 Sedan customized with every possible part from BMWs own M Performance catalogue.
BMW M Performance Parts are available in four categories: aerodynamics, drivetrain, cockpit and chassis.

Check out more details of all these awesome BMWs from the videos below...

Nissan Skyline GT-R combo!

Spotted this awesome Nissan Skyline GT-R combo a while back in Helsinki, Finland.

The blue R34 Skyline is tuned and modified by the well-known Japanese tuning company called Bee R, which builds and modifies cars for drifting tournaments. This car packs at least 600 HP, probably even more, and that custom Body kit looks awesome!

The other, white R33 Skyline, is the V Spec (Victory Specification) model, which means more upgraded, track focused model in the GTR range.

CORRECTION!!! That blue "R34" Skyline is actually a R32 Skyline with an R34 front end, and not sure if it really is tuned by BEE-R, sorry about that...

Thought I'd show you car peeps a small video clip, and also some photos that I took of these stunning modified track monsters, hope you enjoy.
