Fridge Ciggie Garage

Even though John-Paul Drake is best known for his 1-of-500 Lexus LFA, the rest of his collection is just as wild — including this 1973 Nissan Skyline GT (better known in Australia as the Datsun 240K) packing an RB26 swap. This thing is peak old-school Japanese cool. Long bonnet, chrome everywhere, Skyline heritage, and a screaming RB26 heart under the hood. Somehow these cars still fly under the radar compared to Hakosukas and R32s… which honestly makes them even cooler. I’m still not 100% convinced by Jp's story behind the Kenmeri name… but he tells it with enough confidence that I’ve decided it’s officially true 😅What do you reckon — underrated JDM legend or nah?

Race car driver Max Vidau joins me on Fridge Ciggie Garage to discuss his FG XR6 Turbo. This car started as a regular XR6, but with some serious modifications and a built engine, it's now a truly fast car. We dive into the details of what makes this particular ford stand out, including its impressive turbocharger setup. Car specs:🚘 Fully built motor🚘 730hp+ at 25lb🚘 MV Automatics 6HP26🚘 4k ConverterWe also talk about his racing career to date (which included the Porsche Carrera Cup amd GT3 Cip Challenge) and dad's workshop MV Automatics in Stirling in the Adelaide Hills

We’re kicking off the very first episode of Fridge Ciggie Garage in the Shed House, and Jason Waye from Tuff Mounts has rolled in with an absolute weapon — his Fox Body Mustang packing a Barra Turbo.Jase walks us through the build, why he chose the Barra, the headaches along the way, and what it’s actually like driving a car that wild. We get into the story behind the build, the parts that made it possible, and the kind of problems only car people understand.Crack a fridge ciggie, pull up a chair in the garage, and let’s talk cars. 🛠️🔥
