Ed was in the market for a new car after being in involved in an accident in his Nissan NX2000.

Art of Autocross – UBCSCC Team Enduro
From our guest photographer and writer, Lawrence Liang: Every year the UBC Sports Car Club caps off their summer event series with their Team Enduro autocross. Taking place on the skidpad at the BC Driving Centre, the Team Enduro has drivers making their usual runs in the morning followed by the team event in the afternoon when each team member gets a shot at an extended lap of the autocross course, hence “Enduro”. Each team consists of 4 drivers and, at the end of the day, the team with the lowest combined time is crowned the UBCSCC Team Enduro champions.

The 600hp Mercedes S55 Sleeper
A few months before we started Art of Stance, Richard and I were a little familiar with Quinton’s car. We’ve seen it at The Speed Syndicate’s anniversary BBQ and I’ve read a little about it on the build. We got the chance to get to know it a bit more when we went down to Formula D and met Quinton for the first time. Quintons supercharged 2005 Mercedes S55 AMG is a bit of a sleeper. Most people wouldn’t know that there is a beast under the hood that puts out 600hp at the wheels. That’s right..you heard me. 600hp in a car with very comfortable leather seats with massagers in the front. The Art of Stance crew can vouch for the seats since we all had to have a sit in it! We also played with the automatic closing doors and checked out the hydraulics that lower and raise the car..all of which is stock.
