Appreciation of a well ‘stance’ car has no language or boundaries; And the guys from Rub’n'Roll of Russia prove that over and over with their collection of videos rivaled only by the boys of AWOL. These videos bring together excellent music, great effects and a mix of interesting cars not always seen. Rub’n'Roll’s unique take on the ‘stance’ genre is a silent story of a driver and his car and a day in the life… I like this new style because the man (or woman) behind the car deserves some credit and camera time. There are 10 Rub’n'Roll videos out and I watched them all in one sitting; They’re that good.

Volkswagen has recently added to their online configurator the all new, redesigned 2012 Volkswagen Beetle. There has been a lot of chatter around the redesign of this new model. Probably the most famous and most widely accepted Volkswagen model ever sold, the Beetle has seen many faces over the years. From air-cooled to water-cooled, the Beetle has been around for decades and it has grown from a hippy mainstay to a teenage girls dream car. What does the next evolution of the Beetle bring?

Since our first post about the Beetle, I have had some time to reflect a little more on the model. I think it’s a much more ‘manly’ generation of Beetle than ever before. With its roofline lower and longer, it has a stretched out body style that evokes some kind of crossover appeal between a station wagon/hatchback/sports coupe, it certainly looks more like something I would drive. I imagine that when one worthy tuner gets their hands on one, its growl will come to light. Slammed to the ground, wide wheels, a little poke, clean it up a little, and give it a little flair and you’ve got yourself one hell of a euro-auto.

Volkswagen has sunk quite a bit of money into this new model’s release. Tons of TV commercials, magazine ad space, and the Oprah giveaway have brought the 2012 Beetle into the limelight. There is even a Beetle Blog that Volkswagen developed. I am intrigued by this redesign, and look forward to seeing what the tuner market will do to this hot hatch. The 2012 Volkswagen Beetle will certainly be turning heads in no time flat.

We’ve all heard by now about the flash-mob craze taking place at train stations, city streets and parks around the globe; But, you probably never thought of seeing a flash-mob of cars, did you? Take a black Scirocco, an army of white Sciroccos, and throw in some Golfs for good measure and there you have the formula for the world’s first ever car flash-mob.

Set the scene to the sound track of the Star Wars Imperial March and sit back and watch crowd’s of camera phones come out for the event. Was this another genius VW advertising campaign? Perhaps, but more likely The Brothers VW owners club acted on their own. This first ever car flash-mob is on a whole other level of coolness and needs to come to states. Who’s up?

Have you heard the sounds of the new 2012 BMW M5 yet? This new video put out by BMW UK shows off the new V8 twin turbo in all its glory. Set to a smooth dub-step track with the roaring twin turbo V8, a new sub-genre has been created, BMW-step. This video is an excellent teaser for what the new 2012 BMW M5 has to offer and I can’t wait to see it on the streets and at shows in the months to come.

Another quality video coming to us from across the pond. Ireland’s own I Love Bass crew has done it again featuring Paul McLaughlin’s mk6 Golf. Although at first glance you might assume this hatch is sitting on air, it’s not. A set of Eibach Pro Street-S coilovers does the job in conjunction with a set of Rotas that gives this VW that perfect stance.

It’s that time of the year again as hordes of Euro’s prepare for 2011′s FixxFest 8. Get out your shampoos, your waxes and your toothbrushes and make sure you don’t miss a spot, as this year’s event will be bigger than ever!

In the world of custom interiors, every year there seems to be a new trend. Every time I flip open a custom car magazine, I see a new innovative product or textile to wrap your seats with. From various animal skins to different industrial fabrics, I’ve seen pretty much everything done to the interior of an automobile. Fridge installations, fish tanks, fuzzy dice, and televisions larger than the one hanging in my house. It’s crazy what people will do these days to take it to the next level.

Some things, in my opinion, don’t always need evolution. The Audi TT convertible was one of the first production vehicles to feature a leather baseball glove interior, and there have been many imposters since.  There is none like the original. The Original Gansta did it best. Thick stitching accents similar to that of a catchers mitt, beautifully tanned leather, and a supple smooth texture that you could sit in for hours. The kind of leather seats that only get better with time.

The title says it all; The boys from Northern Ireland have done it again and put together a sweet video of a white VW Golf on air with all custom red interior. What more could you ask for?
