What can we say about this orgy of automotive destruction? There’s a Daimler limo, a Jaguar XJ6 Coupe, and a slew of  other derby-prepped rides with wicked paint jobs. Then they circle wrecking each other until it’s over! Oh, and in a world where virtually all of the music in car videos completely sucks, this clip stands apart. Seriously, using the theme from the Exorcist? Brilliant!

I still haven’t made it to NorthWest MogFest. Thankfully, my friends went again this year to prove how lame I am.

It also uses an electronic adjustable suspension that lowers at speed to get even better MPG. More pics after the jump!

How’s this for an across-the-pond barn find: a reclusive mechanic in the UK countryside who passed away recently was found to be sitting on a goldmine of rare mostly-British iron. Thirty vehicles were found stashed within a series of dilapidated out-buldings on the property, with some scattered outside in the brambles. The mouldy rides will get a new shot at life after being auctioned off April 4. See more pics below the jump, and read more at The Sun and Mail Online. Via Jalopnik.
