Mercedes Bids Farewell To SLR, Builds Final Stirling Moss
All good things must come to an end and the Mercedes McLaren SLR is no different. The total run of 2000 units will end with the final cars being the no-compromise, hirsute-motoring Mercedes-Benz SLR Stirling Moss. Appropriate in our opinion. More » -

Saab 92 Fitted With Modern Saab V6
What you normally find under the bulbous hood of a Saab 92 is a 2-cylinder, 2-stroke lawnmower motor barely able to keep up in traffic. This one's got the V6 from a modern Saab 9-5. More » -

2011 Hyundai Sonata: A Sexy, Camera-Shy Mid-Size
Seeing the four-banger-only 2011 Hyundai Sonata in person, it looks sleek and stylish and beautifully detailed. However, in these press images, it looks awkward and lumpy. We can't figure out why. More » -

Google Street View Drives Lotus Test Track
Sure, you won't get the visceral sensation of tossing a Lotus Exige into a corner, but "driving" the Lotus test track in Hethel, UK on Google Street View is better than nothing. Plenty of fun machinery on the track, too. More » -
#heinekencar
Heineken Car Gallery
I always wanted to make this one but didn't on the grounds that it would be the wrong scale to my others. However when I got a request to make a car for my cousin in England, the scale issue dissappeared. I really loved this one. More »

#guinness2
Guinness 2 Gallery
The Guinness cans are noted for having a widget in them. There is even a little note about them on the side of the can which I used on the dashboard on Guinness 1. While I was looking at the completed model it struck me that I had missed an opportunity to include a widget that rattled inside it. That prompted me to make this model. It does have a widget that wattles!!! It gets nick-named 'The Widget Woadster' More »

Buggy Gallery

Hot Rod Gallery
I used balsa wood instead of card for the substrate with this one, with cyanoacrylate (superglue) as the adhesive. This worked much better than the card and impact adhesive, and has become my standard method of construction. More »

Can Car Process Gallery
The two most important things you have to consider when making a CanCar are firstly the car itself, and secondly the cans you wish to make it from. These decisions are not as easy to make as might seem the case. More »

#cokemoke
The Coke Moke Gallery
The Moke is the first car I have made using cans of more than one type. This has enabled me to add more colour to the car which helps to define the parts more clearly. The original Moke was designed as a basic utility vehicle that was easy to manufacture and, as a result, is an eminently suitable candidate for making out of cans. More »

Roadster Can Car Gallery
When people looked at the previous cars they always asked " How long did it take?" With that in mind, I logged all the hours I spent on this one. It amounted to 43 hours. More »
