Came across this video in the local forum, Corby Martin produced a nice video montage of various clips during the season’s first drift practice in Edmonton at Castrol raceway. Enjoy the video, looking forward to more from Corby Martin. Video after the jump.

After weeks of beautiful weather, I was surprised when I woke up today to see my driveway piled with snow. Living in Edmonton my whole life, you can never predict what tomorrows weather will be like. Unfortunately for me I had to meet a client on the other side of the city on my summer tires…not a fun drive.

I was reluctant to post this, but I know a lot of car enthusiasts work at car shops themselves I thought it would be a good idea to share this to my readers. On Friday an ex worker from Great West Chrysler shot 3 employees at the dealership early in the morning. From my understanding the ex employee was suspended for inappropriate internet postings. Shootings rarely happen in Edmonton, but having visited the dealership the shooting has hit a little too close to home for me. If you would like to read more about the story follow this link. My condolences to the families affected.

On sunday me and my girlfriend decided to take a look at the newly renovated Art Gallery of Alberta (AGA). At first I thought it looked like a giant tape worm attacking a building but after glaring at the building for a couple of hours, I began to appreciate it. If you have ever been to Edmonton (or deadmonton as I like to refer it as), you’ll notice how boring the buildings/landscape look. The AGA is very different and adds an interesting look to the downtown area. More about my visit and pictures of the AGA after the jump.

Please come check out our debut of new shirts at the Driven to Perform show in Edmonton. We will be located in Garage Work’s booth across from Dannie Riel.
