Default Street Fords Issue 40, that AU looks familiar...
Really it does, I think I've seen it around somewhere before.


I must say I am pretty happy with the way it has come out, story is pretty accurate but not entirely. Ah well.
Rubbish pics I know, but I don't have a scanner at home so it's the best I can do until Monday.

Very nice. Must feel good to have all your efforts recognised in print eh?

Nice photographs too, but it wouldn't be an article on the RedXR347 without a picture of those scuff plates!

Cheers for all the nice words guys, it makes it all seem worth it in the end. Too bad the mrs isn't quite as "understanding" as the mag makes out. My arm is still sore

I saw yours in there, look closely and you can see it in another pic or too aswell. Lokks good, wish I had front bar pods on mine :

In all honesty the car looks better in the mag than it does up close and personal, must get around to fixing that one day.
