A Rarity To Behold From Quattro GmbH – The Canadian RS6
With only 90 units sold in Canada, the C5-generation Audi RS6 is a special find indeed. And on the blustery streets of Edmonton, no less. [Photo credit: Howie Edgecombe]

Top Gear Says Lancia Is The Best Automaker. Ever.
Monday, November 30, 2009
Ok, that’s not an exact quote, but Episode 3, which aired last night, was the best of Season 14 thus far. If you haven’t seen it yet, go here and enjoy it. Am I the only one who noticed the increasing friction between Jeremy and James? If looks could kill, Jeremy would be deader than [...]
Da Streetz: De Tomaso Pantera
Saturday, October 31, 2009
The streets (or streetz) of Edmonton are rarely littered with anything of interest for car aficionados. But every now and again, something will snap your head and make you take notice. An early July day this past summer was just such a day when I came across the bastard love child of Italian coachwork and [...]
Da Streetz: McMerc in Vienna Edition
Wednesday, September 30, 2009
Welcome back to another edition of Da Streetz, where we chronicle the various automotive wonders on the streets of Edmonton, Canada. Well, that’s what we normally do, but today we’re taking a trip to the one of the former capitals of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Vienna (Budapest was the other capital of the Dual Monarchy). Along [...]
Da Streetz: Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera
Tuesday, July 7, 2009
Welcome back to another episode of Da Streetz, where I chronicle the lives of Edmonton’s cars. Today, I’ve found a Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera, the last (but not least) version of the previous-gen Gallardo. The Superleggera had an extra 10 hp, for a total of 530, compared to the Gallardo for normies. It was also 154 [...]
Da Streetz: Datsun Fairlady 2000
Sunday, June 28, 2009
Take a good look at the great-great-great-grandpappi of my car. The Fairlady, as it was known in Japan, was Datsun’s first sports car. This 2000 model was actually a member the last Fairlady generation before the introduction of the Z-cars with the 240′s debut in 1969. The first thing I noticed about this car is [...]
Da Streetz: Mercedes G 280 GE Cabrio (W460)
Sunday, June 21, 2009
I’m an unabashed fan of the Merc G wagon. Ask me what SUV I would put in my driveway and I will blurt out “G500″ without hesitation. For a car guy, not an SUV guy, the connection I have with the G is not to be underestimated. For me, the X-factor is the heritage of [...]
Da Streetz: 1968 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 Convertible
Friday, June 5, 2009
In the same parking lot where we found the completely tasteless BMW X6 with a bike rack, we find this well-maintained, British Racing Green, 1968 Jaguar E-Type. Also known as the XK-E, the E-Type is considered my many, Enzo Ferrari included, as the most beautiful car in the world. Being a 1968 model, this would [...]
Da Streetz: Lexus ES250
Sunday, May 31, 2009
This is a new one for me. The Lexus ES250. I suppose this has something to do with my age, something to do with the length of time I’ve been following cars, and something to do with this car only being produced for 3 years, but older Lexuses are a bit foreign to me. No [...]
Da Streetz: 2009 Chevy HHR SS Panel
Saturday, May 23, 2009
Today is Da Streetz: Collector’s Edition. And instead of finding this vehicle on the streets, it was in a showroom. Close enough, I say. There are rare cars and then there are seriously rare cars. Paganis fall into the latter category, but there are some surprising cars that fall into the former category. Some are [...]
