crankandpiston.com was born out of a desire to buck the trend; to create a website for motoring enthusiasts unlike anything they had seen before. Established in late 2008 with nothing more than a solitary laptop and an unquenchable passion, crankandpiston.com now boasts multimedia representation across a wide variety of platforms, a thriving network of contributors, and a fanbase that continues to grow every day. What first started as a blog for the local community now reaches hundreds of thousands of aficionados across the region.
