A distinctly international feel to proceedings today.  I hope you got your Google Translate handy

First up we are off to the Americas, by way of Sweden.  Check out this thread on the Rejsa forums from someone who took part in the Carrera Pan America, it is a brilliant event and is hugely challenging for the cars involved, as you will see by some of the photographs in this particular entrants report : http://rejsa.nu/forum/viewtopic.php?t=27960

One of the most popular thing about the Retro Rides forums the Readers Rides section, when I'm browsing other sites I always look for similar sections as it is a great way to get to know whats that forum is all about.  The German Old School Garage forum has a brilliant readers project section, you can spend many hours checking out their array of machinery, some finished, some still in the works : http://www.osg-forum.de/viewforum.php?f=3

We linked Speed Hunters before but this particular entry really caught my eye, I love racing cars and they didn't get much more insane than the peak of the Group 5 Le Man cars.  This link has some great photography which is really evocative of the period : http://speedhunters.com/archive/2008/06/05/retrospective-gt-gt-group-5-monsters-at-le-mans.aspx

Finally as a follow up to Rmad's post, have some madness from Japan

There we go, around the world in a handful of links, our scene is international!
