The Land Rover Defender is a true icon. The best 4x4xFar, remaining in production for almost 70 years until 2015.

Back in 1956, Alec Issigonis was assigned by BMC to develop a very small, simple, and economical car that could carry four adults and their luggage.
It soon became apparent that this new car would be revolutionary in every aspect, with John Cooper being the first to spot its potential for racing.
This leads to some initial success on the track and set the starting point for an unprecedented story in motorsport with this small but nimble performer leaving behind a pack of far more powerful (and puzzled) opponents.
It culminated in Paddy Hopkirk's famous win in the Monte Carlo Rally in 1964 - an event the Mini would dominate up until 1967 and forever tied the Cooper name with the sporting legend of the Mini.
A minimalistic approach to the red livery of the last Mini to win in Monte Carlo - the gigantic 177 - was the inspiration for this sock design.
* unlike the original Mini did, we can't promise these socks will make you feel taller.

People call it Scooby, Scoob, Subie, Rex, Zetza, Scooboxer, regardless, not many cars reach the status of having a worldwide nickname - let alone several of them.Some love it for its brilliant handling and performance, others hate it for its garish looks, but the Subaru Impreza is just one of those cars.Here at Heel Tread, we are shameless fans of the Scooby, especially the first one; the one that Colin McRae piloted to Rally Legend in its 555 liveries, with metallic blue and fluorescent graphics. And don't even get us started on those über cool matte gold wheels. Call it what you want.We call it a well-deserved spot in any garage.

Launched in 1975, Ford's Escort MkII RS1800 is arguably the single greatest culprit for the Blue Oval's achievement of rally superpower status, back in the late '70s. It's also one of the most requested designs by RS fans the world over.This modest family sedan was just one of those cars that almost instantly rose to cult status, mostly due to being able to achieve tremendous success in Rally competition, right from the very beginning of its long and triumphant career.Driven again and again to victory by the likes of Vatanen and Mikkola - and in the way beating fierce competitors like the Porsche 911 and Lancia Stratos - it was at the hands of Björn Waldegård that Ford finally pulled off a World Champion title in 1979 and established itself, once for and all, as a consummate Rally top dog.

Stunning, fast, bat-droppings-crazy, Kawa's ZXR750 (ZX-7 in the U.S.) was every 12-year-old's dream sports bike. As green as the Hulk, but way less predictable, it looked fast even when standing still in that iconic green-blue-white livery.Best paint job on a sports bike ever?For many of us, Kawasaki's ZXR750 (or ZX-7 in the U.S.) is a motorcycling icon. One of the best-looking, most exciting sports bikes ever made. When it came out some 30 years ago, there was nothing quite like it - and there still isn't.The sheer aggressiveness of its race track genes, combined with what might be the best-looking paint job in any bike ever (at least from a 12-year-old's standpoint) made the ZXR look fast even when standing still.Designed with the homologation rules of Superbike racing in mind, the result was a sports bike equipped with as much trick kit as they could for the relatively low asking price. Finally, in 1993, Scott Russel won the Superbike World Championship on a Ninja.In keeping with Kawa's two-stroke machines heritage, the ZXR750 was an untamed beast with a wild and charismatic temperament.- the Hulk if the Hulk was always in beast mode.

After becoming the big fish of European rally, Audi packed its Quattro system and five-cylinder turbo and crossed the ocean to conquer the tracks of the United States. The pinnacle of that effort was the Audi 90 IMSA GTO, a car that literally and figuratively showed its rear end to nearly every competitor it came across.

A rare gem of auto history, this one of a kind Aston Martin DBS V8 raced in the Le Mans 24h and simultaneously broke the record for fastest caravan towing (apparently that's a thing), and along the way earned itself the nickname "The Muncher" for its insatiable appetite for brake discs.

In the 80s, Opel played a relevant role in the European rally scene, and no other car from that era stood out more than the Manta B 400 on the German brand's roster. Its gorgeous long and low silhouette conquered fans wherever it went with splendorous sideways action on asphalt and dirt alike. And, thanks to generous use of kevlar on its bodywork, it was light, which also made it popular with rally drivers.
