Q is Pissed: 007 Aston Martin Wrecks on Lap 2

By John Coyle Editor When I saw that the Daryson-Barwell Aston Martin had crashed into a tire barrier, I headed straight over to their paddock to get a first-hand look at the damage.

Quiet on the Set: Datsun 510 Stars in Movie

For months JNCer Datsunfreak has been tempting us with updates about how his very own Datsun 510 was recruited to star in a movie. At last, the shooting has taken place and now he’s spilling the beans. His writeup on the experience is a very entertaining read, and an excellent behind-the-scenes peek at how a car is prepared for filming. Cleaning all the dirt off so you can spray on fake dirt?
