Far be it from me to draw attention to me or my car but........

Just bought the latest copy of Street Machine Magazine (December 2012), the undisputed bible of modified cars. Was flicking through...got to page 160 in the 'reader rockets' section, and there it was, right at the top, reader rocket number 8....My Car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cheeky buggers published it without letting me know!!

I sent in the pic a couple of months ago and didnt hear from them, so i thought.....oh well....and forgot about it.

My son was in the room when i found it........i stayed cool and called him over to check out the magazine.....when he found the car he damn near fell over!!!!....very very very cool moment.

Now, i know it's not a feature article but it's still cool to see yr car in print!! (albeit with a little creative editing from the publisher!!)

I'ts great to see the AU shape getting recognised more and more in car mod mags. Seems that the shape is getting cooler as it ages....mabye

Heres the pic they used....(same as my avatar)



Cheers all......i'm off to read Street Machine again!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats on getting your car in the magazine man. I hope one day (when I've finally finished fixing her up) that i can get my XG in street machine. Rarely see any decent XG utes in magazines anymore...

Cheers mate, thanks for the congrads............ya dont see many xg's on the road n e more either...(at least not where I am).....reckon that will fall in yr favour in the years to come:)

Cheers

Heres the article pic.....

Yeah i dont see many XGs either. See a few XFs but not a lot of XGs. Haha... My XG had rats under the bonnet when i got it as well. They chewed through all the spark plug leads lol. Your AU is probably one of the tidiest I've seen... My XG isnt to bad i guess for its age...

congrats Yeehaw on the photo.
I worked as a freelance photographer for a sports mag before I grew up kinda. back then it took about 2 months for them to scan the pics in before digital cameras time and layed out the story then I got paid about 2 months after the story/photos were published. Its aways a bonus to see your hard work and effort get showcases in such a heavy demand mag.
