Initially I was so upset that my coilovers didn’t get here in time for the track day… but fuck I had a great time driving the MX-5 on stock suspension out at Wakefield yesterday.

BBS RS 15×8 +15

bbs_rs_zen
Have always loved BBS RS’s although I never thought I’d ever own a set.

I spotted an immaculate set on Yahoo Auctions Japan which was set to go over $2,500 (which apparently is about right for some freshly built ones), was about to place a bid on them, but then this set came up locally for $1500 and I didn’t hesitate to grab them!

I’m looking forward to being a wheel whore with the MX-5. I’ve got a set of Watanabe’s on order. A set of SSR meshies waiting for me at JDMyard and now this set of BBS RS’. Happy Days!

F1 with the boys


Charles Kha (ex Autosalon, ex Speedhunters and currently director of digital communication at EA Games in Canada) is back in town and last night we had a mini reunion at my place to watch the F1 live. Amazingly I didn’t fall asleep watching the race (lol). I think I’ll have to have to boys over for every race from now on haha!

Me? Writing for MOTOR MAG?! No way!

Be sure to pick up a copy of the all new MOTOR MAGAZINE at your local newsagent now. Look out for an article on a widebody supercharged M3 written by yours truly. I’m so chuffed to be writing for MOTOR, a magazine which I respect so much!

Photos above my Matthew Everingham.

PS: MOTOR Magazine is also available at Zen Garage: http://zengarage.com.au/shop

Zen Stand.

Spent the day running the Zen Stand at Showcased 2013 yesterday at Australian Technology Park. Cars on show were next level (the venue itself is next level!). Whilst I did rattle off some shots of my fave cars there… I’ll leave it up to the community to cover the event.
