    Petrolhead NZ!!

     



    So a couple of months back johnboy sent me a copy of their local hot rod rag, Petrolhead, and suggested that if I took a picture of myself reading it Alistair would likely publish it to show the magazine coverage into the USA. Long story short, Here's the cover of the March 18 issue:

    And this from Page 53!!

    Here's a "set up" shot in the barn:

    And the actual picture I sent Alistair to go International:

    You're an international star! Congrats!

    That's pretty cool to share hot rod love with the other side of the world.

    PS: I love your '33

    You're welcome mate!
    I told you it would give you 'Boasting Rights' on here that no-one else has.
    I doubt that anyone else on here has had their car and themselves given pride of place in a New Zealand Hot-Rod publication...almost made centre-fold even.
    I'm just surprised you didn't hear the ''YAHOO" that emanated from our place at your place when I saw it!
    I'm really pleased for you that Alistair saw fit to publish it!
    (Can we call you a 'show-rodder' now?)

    Yeah, I can see meself sittin' in a baaa sipping on a handle of Speights offering a "Kia Ora Mate!" to you or jb as you stroll in, Robin NOT!!

    DaveS, I fear it's going to take more than a set-up shop shot to make THIS country boy any kind of star, for sure!!
