I’ve been keeping my eye on a particular build over at Piston Heads, and it was during one of my visits there that I decided to browse around and see what else I could find. My efforts payed off as soon as I came across this unbelievable road trip thread that instantly had me green with envy.

Umair, the proud owner of an NA MX5, partakes in what is known as the Petrolhead Nirvana Alpine Tour. It’s what a car enthusiasts dreams are made of; thrashing your own car day after day for more than a week on the best roads that Europe has to offer. Umair proves that you don’t have to be a millionaire to enjoy a trip like this, putting his humble roadster up against much more expensive machinery and taking away maximum satisfaction from the experience.

These images have to be seen to be believed, each one is like a postcard from automotive heaven. I urge you to follow the link to the full thread after the jump, there are even some video links scattered throughout it. My hat is well and truly tipped.

I found this interesting piece of machinery on Wheel Whores. What is it exactly? Well, its a Citroen 2CV van plonked onto a stripped Ferrari 355 chassis…

…I don’t know what else to say!

Here’s a build with a resemblance to the Ford Granada featured earlier this week, in the sense that it’s a regular car with a not so regular engine. This is another big budget build undertaken by an experienced and polished hot rod shop, the kind of place where you can lay down a fat cheque and get a complete car built for you.

The car featured in this build is a 1960 Rambler station wagon, fitted out with the drive train from a 2002 Ferrari 360 Modena. The shop responsible for the whole thing is Divers Street Rods, and true to the name, this is one divers peice of machinery.

The Ferrambo wagon was the recipient of the 2008 Detroit Autorama Riddler Award, arguably the highest accolade a hot rod builder in the big-dollar custom car scene can aim to achieve.

Its not just cars that get glorified with build threads, some people love to share the progress of their garages too. This is one garage that everyone would love to build their project in.

Yep, thats the garage on the left. Depressing, isn’t it? If you need some inspiration to work harder in life, check out the full build thread:
