The eighth rendition of this show is scheduled to go down on October 9th at the Port of Los Angeles, which should be a pretty big deal.

In the interest of full disclosure, I am one of the organizers of Radwood and while I regularly contribute to this site, I was encouraged to bring a piece of my car show to FLATSIXES.com.

They were bedecked in Leica t-shirts, Leica hats, and Leica-branded camera-straps, and it seemed that half of what they were photographing was one another with their hilariously expensive cameras. It was disturbingly self-indulgent, and placed the product …

Since our initial post speculating on Porsche Classic's new Project Gold, Porsche has released a slew of new videos that seem to confirm our initial ideas on what it might be.
