Thats right, were in Yorkshire for this one and for once it wasn't ' grim oop north ' as the sun was shining right from the word go. YMS (Yorkshire Motor Show) has been a popular show which the FNM faithful have hit for a number of years now with its unique Time trails that happen in the main grassed area outside and the popular indoor top50 all taking place at the Pickering showground. Traders pack the outskirts of the fields and with an added bonus of a carboot sale in the field adjacent to it.

The big one, the big Kahuna...bigger than jack black's pants!.. thats how we would describe Modified Nationals.

With an estimated 20,000 people attending nationals over the bank holiday weekend the atmosphere in the week running up to the event was electric, cars being finished off last minute from body shops across the country, campers packing tents and stocking up on booze and food.

Report : Rising Sun 2011

We tried... we really did.(rich) We tried to get a photographer down to cover rising sun 2011 but luckily our member and keen photographer Carl Parkin headed out to cover this for FNM.

The day was pretty chilled out compared to other car shows such as modified nationals etc but with some of the finest metal from the land of the rising sun we knew it was going to be a red hot day .

Report : Fast Car Cruise Meets Scarborough Cruise !

Tap tap tap... tap tap... usually the sound that echoes around FNM HQ and that being the sound of fingers hitting keys , looking at porn, cars or the biggest time waster of all.. Facebook.

Report : JDM Allstars / Teeside

With the bank holiday weekend nearing an end for most we thought we would make the most of it.

Report : Malton Supercar Sunday

Right click, save as desktop wallpaper... Its either a half naked women or some hot exotic super car right ?

Car Feature : Ells Murdered Out Supra

Japanese sports cars, off the top of your head...skyline is usually followed by the words Supra and theres no surprise those two japanese monsters come top of the list. The Supra burst onto the scenes back in 1982 and has been a roaring success ever since.

The Supra has undergone many facelifts and tweaks over its lifetime and the most popular model amongst us modifiers and tuners is the mark IV.

Report - Ultimate Dubs 2011

The morning after the day before, writing a blog can sometimes be hard work but after a 5:30am start we where in no fit state last night to write up the blog.. but in truth this has probably helped as it has given us time to reflect on what turned out to be a top day, gleaming paint, dope wheels and everything in between..but for us the day was great but for the reasons you would expect..

Report : Blyton Drift Day

Communities, thats what makes our lovely diverse car culture. Picking up glossy car magazines only scratches the surface of the broad array of '' scenes '' there is to offer a car enthusiast but as a general rule its only the ' show cars ' that make the headlines but not today, a million miles away from the smell of polish, wax and car shampoo we enter the world of drifting. Drifting is more about the go than the show, not saying these cars arn't looked after but they choose function over anything else.

Editors Choice - Ells Supra nearing completion at sponsors Elite Bodyworx

Another top class show car is soon to be unveiled at fast-n-modded sponsors Elite Bodyworx. Ell Hawkes' supra is being fitted up with a mixture of crazy defusers and quality carbon fibre parts that should see it turn heads and enter the elite of fast-n-modded.

Report - Wakey Indoor Cruise

Back Once Again With The Ill Behaviour…

Old Skool cruising, we all love a bit of it and in this part of the world it throws you back to the days of Donny & Ponty cruise meets on cold windy carparks, half naked women, burnouts and some cheesy 90′s euro dance music pumping out of a nova or saxo, of course were not saying thats a bad thing as that shaped a generation of petrolheads eager for a mcdonalds and some action on your local retail park every saturday night.

Car Feature : Jay Polsons Golf

Jay Polsons VW Golf

Its always hard to start a car feature and saying something original when it comes to opening lines, especially when it comes to Jay Polson's Golf. Jay is no stranger to having features done as he appeared in the best of british edition of Max Power a few years ago with his sleek liquid yellow pug 106.

Car Feature : Lauras Smooth SRI

Enter.. Stage left… Laura’s Corsa SRI

The runabout, the car you don’t mind leaving down that slightly dodgy street..everybody has access to one and the poor thing is often forgotten about , never washed and dumped at the back of a showstand. Well, thats kind of how Laura’s corsa has been for the last few years. Lugging heavy speakers to shows, taking people on nights out and never once seeking the limelight.

Car Feature : Marks 200SX

Marks 200sx

In life they say its the taking part that counts but sometimes... just sometimes... its nice to be first, not second or the fat kid at the back who gets a pat on the back for taking part. Featuring Mark Needhams 200sx is a certain first for fast-n-modded and our partners night-import who are delighted to get a pretty much EXCLUSIVE shoot on this iconic car .
