Great exposure for his company. I doubt he built it for it to be hidden away.

For him: As above exposure to the masses
For max: Going to help sell copies


Surely thats obvious?


Why wouldnt the magazine want one of the best cars in the uk on its cover, and why wouldnt a company want to be featured by the biggest modified car mag in country?

not when its the best selling mag in britain, think about the ammount of people that buy it, even if they just go along to norris design for a oil change it would be worth the "hassel" of standing about for a day getting pictures taken of the car,

Front cover as well give's you a lot of exposure, and will do a lot for the company

Yeah like Max Poo 'readers' have the cash to buy an Evo and spend ŁŁŁŁ's having Norris tune it - they've spent the equivalent Ł1,000's on bolt on barry bits for their fibreglass sh1tbox 'show cars'

(now I'm not against modified cars, but come on some people really need their eyes opened...)

You produced a car like that you want to show it off, unfortunately being in Max Poo you'll get a load of chavvy saxo driving barry boys worshiping the ground you walk on!

I take it you've never seen some of the expensive cars the younger lot drive at Southend and places like that nowadays

There's plenty of non-chav readers of the mag [not me personally unless Joosters left a copy in his bog ] for one a mate of the old mans that has an SL55 AMG thingummy. Who incidentally thought my old S2 was a bit chavvy

As has been said it is great exposure for the company and all his cars have been in there, lets face it you might not buy it but when you see it in the shops yours eyes will be drawn to it,

They all Max Power readers then?

I'm not saying all Max Power readers are chav's, young, barryboys, don't own IMO nice cars etc etc, just the majority! 10 years ago it wasn't a bad magazine, fook if I'd waste my money on it now maybe thats just my personal taste of how 'modifying' has evolved, or maybe that makes me old Its people like Max Power who delude enthusiasts that making your car look like a fibreglass alien look-a-like makes it 'cool' when in reality the majority of people are laughing there heads off at the monstrosity!

A friend of mine who was approached by Fast Car offering to feature his 875bhp R33 GTR declined as didn't wanted to be associated with that kind of image, totally different scenario. At the end of the day it is great coverage for Norris, as a business trying to make money thats only a good thing.
