SINGER: PORSCHE 911 RE-IMAGINED

Singer Vehicle Design is a company that produces what is inarguably the greatest reimagining of the Porsche 911 ever attempted. Rob Dickinson, the founder of Singer, describes his 911s as being like four-wheel cafe racers and I think this analogy is quite apt – they’re lightened, more performance-oriented versions of the mass produced originals with a significant dose of additional power.

The film is the work of XCAR, a film production house that has turned out a variety of short films on a huge cross-section of both new and vintage automobiles. Once you’ve seen the film featured above I suggest you take a look at the official XCAR YouTube channel here.

SHINYA KIMURA - "Motorcycle Mechanic"

"In his own words, Shinya Kimura is a motorcycle mechanic. To the rest of the world, Shinya is an artist, building kinetic sculptures that are and very labor intensive, one-of-a-kind, and ultimately utilitarian. Raised in Tokyo, he moved to LA about a decade ago to actually escape his growing fame and to quietly go on with his life as a mechanic. Acclaim has annoyingly still followed him. His bikes are tough, perfectly made machines that are thrilling to ride. In this film, Danielle explores briefly why motorcycles and what makes the work compelling for Shinya, and the feeling he gets while riding. The film is a supplement to the third issue of On Paper Magazine."

A dirtbike adventure though the Great British countryside

12 days, 2000 miles, no map, no GPS, no backup van, just a few telephone numbers and a bucket load of 'what's the worst that could happen?'

Can you legally ride off road from Newcastle to London and back through England and Wales solely relying on the goodness of strangers to help you on your way?

The trip starts and almost ends on the first day in Northumberland.
