Despite his reputation of a who's who in the car game, his enthusiasm for cars and ways to get out and use them wasn't limited to the fancy or elite - and most of the events we've done or become involved with have a direct connection to Martin Swig. Thanks for sharing that enthusiasm.

2009 California Melee. Rain, sun, swim suits and more rain in the Alfa SS and Fiat 850......

hardtuned took the '71 2002 on the Snowball Rally... True to form there were actual snowballs, high elevation, a tiny amount of gambling, and mysterious paranormal activities at the Cal Neva.

Last year we showed up with a damaged Sprint Speciale and took home the trophy. This time there was a new SS sheriff in town... and some guy in a Lancia walked away with the trophy. For various reasons we didn't go nuts with the camera this time, but here are a few shots from this year's running.
