Title: Want A Laugh

Check out this site for a look at the US Asian/Import car scene, read right through it, it will make you proud to own a old Holden and not a ricer, also shows why some of us can beet those hi tech pretend racing cars in our old holdens.

Leon,

Yeah, it's really something, isn't it?  Whilst in a doctor's waiting room the other day, I had a choice of 3y.o. Wheels mag, assorted womens' rags, or a relatively recent issue of Fast Fours and Rotaries.  I was shocked and saddened by FF&R.  The average age of its readers must be about 14, I think.  Certainly the Letters page and the equivalent of Street Machines mag's "KB's Workshop' were something else.

The one that amused me - and I'm sure would have amused CraigA too - was the guy with the Gemini that had over $10,000 worth of stereo equipment in it.  He was struggling to find anyone who would insure it for more than $3,000, and wanted advice.  What would you have suggested?

I guess it takes all kinds, doesn't it?

cheers
RET

Slim you have a short memory, for sale section and the rubbishing re a $50,000 FC. or a $100,000 FX.
Some people prefer rice and sound to good solid metal, but this is what makes it interesting.
Each to their own
