Question Members cars/

After reading through a few threads here it seems a few of the members and their cars have been in a few of the magazines, which is like just the best. But can you tell me how did you manage that?

Did the magazines actually approach you and ask to do an article on your car?

normally mags take pictures at car shows so if you go tothem your half a chance
some mags have readers cars where you can send pics in of your car and a short write up
but most of the time mags approach you i have had various cars and at times they have turned up in all different mags and books so if your out there they might see you

I was approached by Mark Oastler to use my car in Australian Muscle Car. He got my number from the FPV/XR owners club.

Nearly fell over when he rang and told me who he was haha

Get your car out and about to a few big shows and the mags will often approach you if they are interested...
