saw your car at WTAC today. Looked nice as usual. You should've taken some hot laps though...

So you're not coming to the Classic Skyline Nationals at Goulburn in September?
Show and shine Saturday 8th
Wakefield Park Sunday 9th.
Lots of GroupA/C stuff coming out for the track day.
:mrgreen:

No, timing's not that great for me, and I think I need to do a few more things to the Hako before its next trackday (which will probably be 2013 at this stage). I've got a couple of local car shows to enter for the rest of the year and that'll be as much as I can fit in, I'd say

By the way, the WTAC 2012 event report is now up

Super-stoked that Performance Garage Issue#2 is on sale at your favourite newsagent now

I urge you all to go out and buy it (if you are in Australia, that is)

Congratulations to Adrian, Jason, Dave, Daniel, Ryan and the rest of the PG guys for putting out such a great mag. IMHO it's nice for a car mag to be unafraid of telling a story with words instead of just pictures, and I'm over the moon with Dave Carter's article on the Hako, which spans 9 pages and 4000+ words and of course some EPIC photography from Jason Gynn

Well done guys, and thanks for having my cars in it

For those of you not in Australia, here's a little peek (the Luce gets some love, too)

OH WAIT..

I should probably point out, that the good-looking guy who appears in the articles and videos is not actually me.

Holy cow, we don't get magazines like that in the States! That much text would take away valuable advertising space. :lol:

Any chance I can get someone to mail me a copy?

Congrats Kev!

I was in Sydney for work and very nearly got out to Motorex... it's been on Gasolene on channel 31/44 for the past 3 weeks and i saw a few glimpses of the Hako on there Kev..... are you planning on coming down for nationals at Phillip island next Easter?

I will go hunting, and if i can find several copies, and if so will let y'all know and will post them around to wherever for those who want one.....

For all our offshore friends who would like to buy a copy of Performance Garage, the magazine guys have said that it will be added to http://www.magshop.com.au and http://www.magstore.com.au/ very soon, and then you can get copies from there

Wasn't planning to...it's a leetle bit far, and it isn't geared well for PI anyway

They have put up a video and a short article on their blog:

Nice video but what's with the 80's porn music?

I also noted that they seem to have mixed the audio, so that I have a bit of Barry White going on with my voice, so it figures I guess

I bought my occasional tight-arse triple pack of magazines for the price of one. In addition to the HPI I knew I was getting I got that magazine too. Your garage was the only one out of them that seemed even remotely possible for the average person to achieve.

The other ones were more like "hey look how rich I am, I've got 20 cars including old V8 supercars"

Congrats on the article!
