Brendan, I say it every time...your writing abilities are absolutely tremendous.  I care not at all about these racecar/truck stories, but when I see your or Jacob's name up there, I read it.  You have a theme to every article, and keep readers captivated throughout with little subtleties that keep everything relevant.  You introduce emotional appeal and a plethora of information that all culminate in what must be the most elite writing styles/successes in Canada (or anywhere, for that matter).

Whereas I could not care less about some guy, a lot of kickstarter money, and many DIY hours of using the bare bones of a truck and turning it into a racetruck, I found this story something that should be a children's novel; the story of following passions, dreams, and lots of heart to bring a truck back to its glory days.  It's like Herbie, but focused on the truck instead of the redhead who clearly should not be driving said vehicle.

What a great article. Ill second what Noto has said, maybe not as eloquently, but yeah, fantastic article of which the subject was right up my alley. That truck is all kinds of sexy, awesome and just good ol' fashioned drool inducing. Great job!!

Very nice oui....

I always wondered how a Chevy SS, Ford Lightning or Dodge/Ram SRT/RT would do at the Targa. Guess I can wonder no more eh.    ;)
