Sections: Site News Jan 27th, 2010 3 Comments Under the darkness of night we switched servers last-night to something faster and more dedicated. It’s all around good news for us and you. With one little exception; any comments that were made during the two hour transition have been lost. Now back to your regularly scheduled MotoringFile…

Over the next few weeks we expect the automotive industry to slowly come out of its late December slumber to prepare for what still is the largest automotive event in the US: NAIAS. However this year we’ll be covering the show from every angle. Todd, Matt and myself be there to not only report from the floor but bring you the designers, executives, and insiders through a series of Podcasts. Look for photos of the entire show as well.
The fun starts on January 11th where MINI will be showing off the new Beachcomber concept. We’ll see you from the show floor in just under a week.

We’d like to wish everyone happy holidays as we close out 2009. It’s been an incredible year at MotoringFile and we owe it all to you the readers. So with that in mind we present you a (huge) desktop wallpaper for your downloading pleasure of the above image. Consider it our present to you.
We’ll be taking the next few days off (or at least trying to) as we gear up for next week, next year and of course the Detroit Auto Show. So until then, thanks and cheers!

We’ve given MF a makeover in a couple of key ways. With this latest release we’ve dramatically widened the site to better house images and video within the main content area. This means you can see all those beautiful images how they were meant to be seen, big. And we can now show video at a full 640 px wide. Also look for an entire new collection of header images as we’ve revamped almost all of them to coincide with this new release.
We’ll be working on further upgrades in the coming weeks and months. Of course if you have any feedback regarding these changes or suggestions for new ones, let us know below or on the contact page.
Oh and if you see a few things broken, let us know. While most of everything should be updated, there are a few corners of the site that will take an extra day or two.

Things will be a little quiet this weekend at MF as myself and a few frequent contributors are heading to Ohio for this weekend’s 24 Hours of LeMons at Nelson Ledges road course. This is the only true 24 hour race in it’s series. Therefore the race runs from noon on Saturday through noon on Sunday.
If you are interested in getting regular updates, you can follow our progress on my personal Twitter feed: @Gabriel_bridger
What is the 24 Hours of LeMons?
Each LeMons race is for cars purchased, fixed up, and track-prepped for a total of 500 dollars or less. But before reaching the grid, you’ll have to survive trials like the Personal-Injury-Lawyer Anti-Slalom, the Marxist-Valet Parking Challenge, and the Wide Open Throttle Rodthrowapalooza. Twelve hours into the race, the car voted People’s Choice is called in and awarded a cash prize; simultaneously, the car voted People’s Curse is called in and summarily destroyed. At the end of 24 hours, a gala awards ceremony plies the survivors with trophies, plaques, and four-figure purses in canvas bags full of nickels. What’s not to like?

We’ve done Google maps, we’ve done Flickr and we’ve done Facebook. Now it’s Twitter’s turn. Yes MotoringFile is officially on Twitter as of today. Look for updates when stories post as well as rumors, opinions and generally things that we can’t quite mention on MF (for one reason or another).
