I opened up an old Wheels Mag [Feb vol 48 No.3] and found this in the index, says P58, I open it up and find page 57 � 60 missing ��.. F u c k !!

Anyway�.. is this the same car that was at Bathurst �04, and if anyone has the mag, give us a report on the article if you would.

Regards����

Yes thankyou for the article. A re-hash appears in Muscle Cars No.2 Circa 1987. Same title "Macho Machine". I will have to read and compare the two.

Thats the factory wheels and no, thats not the car from Bathurst 2004, thats it's sister car. The car in the article, and the one that was at Bathurst were both together at the A9X Nationals at Eastern Creek in october.

the one on the right (no signwriting) is the car from that article. The one on the left is the one that was used in an article against a ferrari. These 2 cars were the 2 owned by MARLBORO, there was also a sedan. There were other promo cars, but they were owned by GMH and dealers. The cars were stock A9X's with paintjobs.

Are there any problems with todays laws driving a car with all the signage on the public roads.
I just love the look of a Torry with those old 10 inch hotwires.

i dont think there are any problems with it, i found one at the local KFC (mockup or ridgy? dunno) all i seen was one of those "old foag" straw hats in the hatch and i couldnt help but smile because obviously it was owned by an old couple (the only people in KFC at the time) i did take a pic with my car next to it (i can dream) but i have no idea where i put it lol

It's not a drama, unless you live in WA, then it's illegal in this case because of the MARLBORO (anti smoking laws over there). You can't even display the car in WA. I'm all for not smoking, but I think the people making these laws are smoking something else................
