CarZi

We at CarZi are your humble correspondents who report from the front lines of the horsepower wars. We aim to be the first to give you insight into the newest and hottest cars as they debut around the world. We regularly cover some of the best car shows from around the world from SEMA to the Tokyo Auto Salon.

If you are passionate about fast and stylish cars and culture, we probably have a lot in common with you!

We don’t simply report on the latest automotive news like all the others in our industry, we take whatever hot news is happening now, research the hell out of it, then add some depth and insight! You will notice that many of our posts link to relevant informative pages in Wikipedia, and MadWhips which allows you to quickly follow up in detail or peruse photo galleries of the cars in discussion.

Please feel free to drop Vinay, Josh or myself a message anytime!

Anthony Carbone

I am also known as WhipDaddy and I’m the co-founder of MadWhips.com, CarZi.com

I always wanted to be a rocket scientist, however due to a lust for life, I fell a couple courses shy and ended up having to settle with a Systems & Computing Engineering degree from the University of Guelph.

MadWhips, CarZi & I are currently headquartered in Toronto, Ontario and since their launches my DOT COM entrepreneurial adventure has given me the opportunity to attend and cover all the hottest auto events around the globe. MadWhips is home to a number of internet exclusive automotive photo galleries submitted from around the world by it’s members and me.

The most memorable cars that I have photographed are: Porsche Gemballa Mirage GT (Toronto, Canada), Nissan GT-R Spec V (Tokyo, Japan), Audi R8 LMS GT3 (Essen, Germany), Ferrari FXX Evoluzione (Montreal, Canada), Lamborghini Reventon during an Ash Sunset (Monterey, California, USA), Brett David’s Famous Sharpie Lamborghini Gallardo (Palm Beach, Florida, USA), Knight XV (Las Vegas, USA) and Paris Hiltons Pink Bentley Continental GT (Las Vegas, USA).

My recent automotive magazine debut in La Vita Lamborghini was attained by my coverage of the 2009 Supercar Weekend in Palm Beach Florida.

Thanks to MadWhips custom architecture (built by the founders of ProductWiki recently mentioned on the GoogleBlog for their sites architecture – which also means ours) many of our photo galleries are ranked within the top 3 search results for many top automotive search terms.

MadWhips photo albums coupled with CarZi’s articles are regularly cited and sourced for many articles use by top publications on the web such as AutoBlog.com, Jalopnik.com, TotalProSports.com and Wired.com!

I have met some awesome young rockstar photographers who I now call my friends: Josh McRae (username: Rush 109), Jason Thorgalsen (username: JT Photos), Stephan Bauer and Adam Dibacco (username: ItalianSpirit)

I still drive my first car which currently has 350,000+ kms. Although getting old and weathered, my 1993 Honda Prelude SR-V is still as fun to drive and beat on as it was the first day I got it! I am due for a new car.. hmmmm

Vinay Menon

I’m Vinay, I am a co-founder and moderator on MadWhips.com.

I have liked fast low wide sensational sports cars since I can remember. The first exotic I ever spotted was when I was 5 years old – a white Lotus Espirit.

I get a Huge MASSIVE kick to spot nice cars on the streets. I’m quite proud of the fact that I can probably identify most cars in milliseconds even from a distance, and have pretty finely tuned “car radar”. I have always wanted to share my photos with other like-minded car nuts who also appreciate nice cars as much. MadWhips lets me do that.

I like fast powerful mid-engined cars. I like light weight fast mid-engined cars. My interests are diverse. Besides a Mad obsession with fast cars, I am fascinated with fast bikes, fast planes, and fast spaceships. I think automatics belong on wrists and the Ariel Atom would make a stellar daily driver.
