Last year we counted 1200+ cars, this year it was so big cars couldn’t get in! Our Zen stand was mobbed. We had a great night!

From screen to reality

Posted on 14 March, 2013 by Justin Fox

So nice to see designs come to life. The Yokohama 86 (which I designed the graphics for) was dropped off to Zen today. I even got to drive it off the truck. It’s an auto, which kinda surprised me, but hey I drove my cousin’s manual one a week ago and I was curious to see if the auto was any good, or not. I took it for a spin and yeah, it wasn’t any good (the manual was way more engaging!). The car is going to live with us for a bit, should brighten up our space that’s for sure!

Ferrari 458 Spider

Posted on 12 March, 2013 by Justin Fox


Momentary sad face. Thinking to myself “I’ll never make enough to own one of these”.

So I got to sit in a Ferrari 458 Spider the other night at the VWGolf.net.au 3rd B’day Party. What a lovely place to be. It’s other worldly. The display is so high tech, even the air vents are interesting but what really stole the show was the steering wheel. It had a crazy selector for sport and race modes which felt so solid. Metal, no plastics here. No indicator stalks, instead their on the wheel as buttons and the paddle shifters, those massive paddle shifters, fwoar. Amazing. Then I get the OK to turn the key and hit the big red ENGINE START button. Yeaha! I then get the OK to give it a little rev (inside Zen too!). So good!

Those of you at Top Gear Festival last weekend would have seen this 86 at the ADVAN Yokohama stand. I’m proud to say that I designed the graphics for it. Photo by the amazing Easton Chang.

Sounded so tough.

Black Series.

Never been a fan of cruises (because something usually goes wrong!) but went to an Exotics Cruise last week. Some amazing metal showed up. Heaps of C63’s, heaps of money!!!

911 dream on hold

Posted on 7 March, 2013 by Justin Fox

My 911 dream is officially on hold, for now. The deal breaker? I was chatting to Carby (from Deus) and at some point in the conversation he suggested that having a garage for a 911 is pretty much a prerequisite.

I wholeheartedly agree.

I love love love the house I’m living in. And in the past I’ve thought about moving out to a place with at least a double car garage (a 7 car garage would be ideal!). I’ve even looked into pinning up the house and carving away at the sandstone to get a larger garage under my house, it’s a no go.

So for now, the dream is on pause. I’ve already bought a car (impulsive much?) and I take ownership of it next Saturday. It’s German, and a compromise… but in a good way! More news soon.

New Mazda CX-5

Posted on 5 March, 2013 by Justin Fox


Miles isn’t so sure about the new Mazda 6.


The showroom (what’s that MX-5 smiling about huh?!).


Really liking the new taillights.


The workshop, very clean and tidy.

My sister bought a new car yesterday. They were set on a Mazda CX-5 2.5 (not quite released just yet) and they’d done a bit of bargaining down but thought they’d bring out the big guns (Mum and I!) to try and lowball the stealers down even further.

Was hard to do as the car has had great reviews, the 2.5 isn’t even available at dealerships yet and a dealer seeing a whole family hop out of a car knows we were there to purchase.

Mum’s awesome an low balling. I came in from a different automotive angle, catching the dealer out in regards to servicing fees, tinting, matts etc. In the end we did AOK not exactly what we wanted it for, but only $500 off the mark!

Visit to IS Motor Racing

Posted on 26 February, 2013 by Justin Fox

Had the day off yesterday so instead of cleaning up the house, doing the washing and doing the groceries I dropped in to see Indy at IS Motor Racing. I drove the GT-R to see if we could get the pesky power steering fluid leak fixed up once and for all, he was happy for me to leave it with him. Fingers crossed it’ll be ready for the private track day coming up next month!
