Default Street Machine Fords Issue 8

After 7 long years of trying to find my way as an automotive journalist, I have finally achieved the highest point in my career.

To see my name in a quality magazine such as Street Machine Fords, being credited as the writer of one of their feature articles has clearly made it all worthwhile and tops anything I have ever experienced in all of my working life.

Big thanks to Scott Taylor (SM Fords editor and a pleasant person to deal with) for giving me an opportunity that has helped me to realise one of the goals I set myself when I first put pen to paper in late 1999.

The article starts on page 112 and with superb photography from Tony Rabbitte, it is one I will be proud to show to my children in years to come.

The rest of the mag is a good read as well, with Jai's XC on the front cover and Daniel's (aka Pazzo) Cortina also. Plus there is a heap of good tech stuff and some more wicked feature cars.

Well done SM Fords on a great issue.

Its actually not a bad read this edition... except maybe a name change is required to 'Street Machine: Nitrous Edition'. Congrats Ash on the article.

I haven't checked the site for a couple of weeks. Thanks Ash

You did a good job on the story and I'm sure we'll have more work for you in the future.

Haha Melz, yeah it was planned that way it just kinda happened. these things go in cycles. No denying though, nitrous seems to be making a real come back recently.
