EVENT: Going sideways along the Arctic Circle at Sommertreff

STAFF PROJECT: Dan’s Daily-Scraping Miata
This is the story of a 1995 Mazda MX5 with a low-milage 1.6 liter engine, driven by a woman. It's not a rocket, it has a hairdressers-status amongst the generel public, it's small, it's unpractical, so why do you ask, why would I want to buy this? Well, let me make it simple. It has potential. Before turning 16 almost 3 years ago now, at around the same time we are now, I started looking for my first car... Actually, I started that process about ten years ago, as far back as I can even remember -

VIDEO: Monkeys and Bananas – Gatebil
The DriftMonkey crew, myself included have been waiting for this Gatebil event all year. Rudskogen has been completely rebuilt, it's twice as long and infinitely more exciting.
