My Silver one was in Redline, the photoshoot was a day before I bought it

Guy built it all up, then soon as he acheived his goal - mag feature - he sold it to me.

Depends what car you have!

If its a tidy stage 3 saph for example, its fucking hard cause there are loads of them out there.

Depends what is flavour of the month at the time too, I think my car was the right colour at the right point in time, I dont think it would get a cover now, although would probably still get a feature despite the relatively modest spec just cause its got an interesting story behind it, often that can effect the decision too IME although obviously each editor has different views!

I think you should let Kim compete in it instead, its been so long in the making that you are now too old and your reactions will be gone

What animal does she remind you of, with her lightening quick reactions? A hawk perhaps?

Definatly depends on car and time. All I did is set fire to mine and its in the Fast Ford this month

Feel a bit of a cheat really when you see the hard work and effort and most importantly knowledge that goes in to some builds.

I remember your yellow machine, on the beach wern't it? Remember the laptop and the hosepipe neatly tucked around the window frame for detonation diagnostics


Quick Reply: who's had their car in mag??
