New guy @ Zen Garage

Posted on 6 June, 2012 by Justin Fox

Justin, working hard… oh wait! He’s bludging on facebook!

Meet Justin Narayan, the new guy @ Zen Garage. Justin has a background in writing for various automotive magazines; Zoom, Extreme Performance, Hot Fours, Custom Hod Rods, Custom Choppers and The Circuit to name a few. He’s a down to earth car nut, and a real man too as he smokes Marlboro Reds. Look forward to feature articles from Justin (we might have to give him a new name too as having two Justins in the garage has already been quite confusing!).

Seven Times Down, Eight Times Up

Posted on 2 June, 2012 by Justin Fox

Zen Garage Daruma Doll.

Got up at 5AM this morning with a massive urge to re-write the Zen Garage ABOUT US PAGE. Have been in the zone pretty much ever since (almost time to go to work!). Have been playing with this new Daruma Doll T-Shirt/Logo Symbol design too.

What is Zen Garage? We get asked that question all the time. Whilst it’d be nice like to nail exactly what we’re all about in one sentence, ultimately we don’t want to pigeonhole Zen Garage and instead instead we’d rather keep open minded about what we could become.

Founded in 2011, in a run down warehouse space in Leichhardt Sydney, Zen Garage opened it’s doors to a community passionate about automotive culture… but we’re not just about cars.

Our aim is to explore, and through our website, celebrate creativity and culture whether it’s found in cars, bikes, art, photography, music, skateboarding, anything in which one can reach a moment of zen – be it in the build, striking the perfect chord, capturing an amazing moment, or hitting the apex in the perfect corner on the race track.

Our 300sqm warehouse space pushes the online offline. Forum communities are welcome to drop in and check out our dedicated art gallery, read books and magazines in our library, play games and peruse our retail shop which focusses on stocking creative culture goods.

Saturdaze @ Zen

Posted on 20 May, 2012 by Justin Fox

Kelvin’s Ruckus @ Zen .

I took last Thursday off work to help Damien set up the Aus Infront VR Exhibit, and I was so hung over on the Friday I had to take it off too. The boys @ Zen were cool with me taking the extra day off, but made me promise to get in early to open Zen on the Saturday (we’re now open every Saturday), they said they’d be in later.

I got in 20 minutes before 11AM (official opening time) and there was already a bunch of peeps waiting! Was a busy day, funny thing was Sean and Rob didn’t come in at all, leaving me to man the store by myself HAHA, serves me right! :P

Stock vs. Not

Stock vs. Not!

Low Power Honda Crew.

A cute L-Plater couple came in to Zen today (yup working, we’re now officially open weekends). He rode a Honda Postie Bike, she rode this mint Honda Zoomer. Was nice chatting, and comparing my modified Zoomer to her dead stock one. Kinda jealous when they set off to ride in the glorious Sydney sunshine!
