Well done. It's a good feeling isn't it. I once was driving near blacktown in my V6 capri. Noticed a gr8 looking Capri in a un-opened area of new roads. Went for a look and it was Blo-351 getting photos taken for street machine. anyway i did the burnouts for him in my car(to save his massive rubber).
When the mag came out you could just notice my red roof in the top corner of the smoke. Gee i was was proud.

I bought the issue yesterday.

Nice work.

Also that blue 1000HP XR6T on the front cover made me drool.

Damn I can't decide which car looks tougher!

I'd be on an ego trip for a month if my car got into a magazine

Congrats mate!

Yep ive got that edition, and thought hey i bet he is on one of the forums. So i came here and was right. Car looks wickid in movement.
And i have no idea why, but i could tell you had the BA XR option rims, as i have them and they seem to have their own distinct features when moving.
End ramble.
