M/T Tires Team at Speed Week
There's nothing quite like te salt. M/T Tires is growing like crazy in Australia, and it was great to be able to show the team where it all started.

Shop Tour
Some of our friends from M/T Tires and M/T Tires Australia visited us before our trip to Bonneville this week. We did a Q&A about the Challenger 2.5, toured Chip Foose's shop, and had lunch at Sandy's on the pier. Universally nice guys. Their support is invaluable to the project.
Great Photos Courtesy of Holly Martin
Holly made the long drive out to the shop and took pictures of the Challenger II for several hours. I wasn't quite sure what to expect (quite a few people come and take photos of the car), but I was immediately charmed with Holly's fun personality and attitude. When I saw the results a couple weeks later, I was stunned. Her work is really spectacular and resulted in the best shots of the project so far. She's been kind enough to let us use many of them here on the website. You can check out her impressive portfolio at hollymartin.com.
