If anybody ever asks "Whos the daddy?" in this scene, just show them the front cover of that mag.
Cars came before and cars have been since but IMHO nothing has ever come close to encapsulating just what car customising is really about.
That car and first issue of Street Machine was a bit of a hurricane through the scene.
Fantastic.

I remember seeing the launch ads for SM on TV, with Henry Hirise leaping through a Street Machine banner. I was 14. Hard to believe it's over 30 years ago now.  |

At least we can say that we were there Mr Damaged. Exciting times, all things were possible, new Government, new beginings. The car has certainly lasted better than me!!  |

I know its a really late reply but only just saw the thread my dads friend was the owner before the person that has just rebuilt it, and he bought it when it was a wreck and built a chases for it. And all so my dads name is on the boot lid |
