Iceland's Antique Car Club May Just Be The Best Car Club In The World
I'm making a pretty big claim in that headline there.

1600 Horsepower Jeep Sets World Record For Driving On Water

Off-Roading On Iceland's Stunning, Moon-Like Landscapes
Icelandic car culture isn't just about Formula Offroad trucks, but they're pretty damn important to Icelandian car nuts. But fish-pickling and banking collapses aside, Iceland's car culture has a lot more going for it than the uninitiated might think.
