Autostrada Magazine

Often referred to as the “Canadian Rat Fink,” Ron Gibbs has made a career of fine lines.

Pinstriping—the art of running a thin, animal-hair brush down the side of a car with machine-like precision—has become a cornerstone of automotive customization. And there is nobody better than Gibbs.

Welcome to our Summer 2026 issue of Autostrada,

The cover story for this issue follows Defender’s Dakar debut and historic 1-2-4 finish through the eyes of factory driver Sara Price ().

Sara has built her career on resilience and adaptability, overcoming the collapse of women’s motocross after rising to the top of the sport before reinventing herself through stunt driving and off-road racing. Her success in desert racing eventually led to a factory seat with Defender for the 2026 Dakar Rally, where she and navigator Sean Berriman finished second in class as Defender earned an impressive 1-2-4 result in its Dakar debut.

A big thank you to Sara, and the team at JLR as well as the talented Matt Bubbers for their support in bringing this feature to life.

We continue to be inspired by the momentum Autostrada has built since we began this journey more than 11 years ago. None of this would be possible without the support of our loyal readers, advertising partners, contributors, and community.

Thank you for continuing to believe in what we do and for being part of this journey with us.

See you in September,

Lucas & Sean

“Imagine growing up a car company 20 or 30 minutes away from huge companies — Ferrari and Maserati — in those days. De Tomaso was also not too far. It was a big, big challenge. Typical of Ferruccio Lamborghini, he was never afraid to challenge anybody. He wasn’t afraid to do everything he wanted to do, and this became a big advantage for Lamborghini.” Read the full story behind the Lamborghini Legend Valentino Balboni in our latest issue of , and now live on our website.
