German Autofest Canberra

Posted on 18 September, 2011 by Justin Fox


Oh dem Porsches.


Ultimate Whale Tail!


A bygone era.


This BMW took the cake.


SUGA – eating grass.


Stanced MKI.


Clean MKI.


Loved this K1.


Fat C 63.


Simmons Wheels, still love them.


Trophies.

It’s impossible to get to sleep at 8PM. I tried, and failed. Still managed to somehow get up at 3.30AM though and make the drive to Canberra for German Autofest. Had a great day despite feeling like I was overdosing on caffeine. Got home in a hurry, luckily I didn’t get done speeding, but driving at 110km/hr would have just sent me to bed.

Heaps more pics here and I’ve also written up a feature for Zen Garage. Visit: http://zengarage.com.au/2011/09/19/german-autofest-2011

Deus Cafe

Posted on 16 September, 2011 by Justin Fox


Dropped in to Deus for some inspiration for Zen Garage warehouse space.


Love the simple steel coping + end caps they’re using for everything in the shop.


The entire change room was made with the same coping + end caps.


Rob suggested the Steak Sandwich. It was damn good.

Stretch it

Posted on 16 September, 2011 by Justin Fox

I’ve had these earrings for a while now (thanks to Jess), just sitting there tempting me to use them. They’re designed to stretch your earlobes so you can fit a plug in there (a little hurty and my ear is pretty puffy though as you can see). It only took 2 days to do, small tiny plugs go in this weekend :)

Warehouse Space update

Posted on 16 September, 2011 by Justin Fox


Tons of natural light.


Car in-situ.


Our wet wall, as in, its covered in mould.


This little room will be our Art Gallery. Suspended track lighting to come. :)


Toilet of death. Airborne AIDS for sure.


Our natural water feature.


Cafe outside, perfecto!

Yesterday we dropped in to check out the warehouse space, and meet up with the electrician to sort out lighting + power locations and we also got to meet the owner of the warehouse.

I was stoked with how much natural light the warehouse gets on a sunny day. One we replace the blue plastic roofing it’ll cast a much nicer warmer light too.

I’m pumped! First step is to take some time cleaning the space. It needs a really good cleaning, floors, walls, the lot. After that we’ll decide how much paint we need (would hate to lose too much of that lovely texture and character).

10 cars I have to own before I die

Posted on 12 September, 2011 by Justin Fox


911 – she’ll be mine, one day.

With the help of the JDMST, VWG and Cars Move Us community I’ve put together a bucket list of 10 semi-affordable must have cars to own before you die. I’m pretty happy with how the list turned out. I’d definitely have included a Lotus Elise, or Exige though. Maybe even an open wheeler like a Caterham too.

In putting together the list I was reminded of all the cars I’ve owned and modified:
– Toyota Celica
– ALFA 147
– AE86 Levin GTV
– MX5 NA Clubman
– MR2 ZW30
– BMW 318 E46
– EF Civic B16A
– EG Civic x 2
– DC5 Integra Type-R
– DC2 Integra Type-R
– Kia Sentra (bahahaha).
– Evo 6.5 TME
– Honda Jazz x 3 (one with K20A swap)
– S2000
– Nissan Skyline V35
– Golf MKV GTI
– R32 GT-R

That’s 20 cars. Pretty crazy huh? Looks like I’ve settled on the Golf GTI though. Stuck on it actually, it’s such a great little all-rounder.

Shoes off! We got the private room.


TV in the room = win. Ray brought along mind-blowingly inspirational Wörthersee DVD’s.


Group shot.


Imported Asahi from Japan, awesome.


Best Motoring International hatback shootout featuring MKV Golf GTI DSG vs. Manual.


Keiichi Tsuchiya providing great entertainment (he was convinced the DSG was great after he lost to it in the manual!).

Wagaya – ALWAYS awesome. :)

Alex

Posted on 9 September, 2011 by Justin Fox


Alex Leong!

My good mate Chris is back in town and he brought his little baby Alex over last Wednesday. Max was soooo curious about Alex. I was a little nervous but Max was a good boy, just in for the sniff!

Alex is a chubby one! I got him to laugh a couple of times, always nice to have a baby laugh at you, rather than freak out and cry!

Angelo’s Portugalia

Posted on 9 September, 2011 by Justin Fox


Angelo’s Portugalia in Kensington.

Last TRuesday night Stevey and I hit Angelo’s Portugalia for some authentic Portuguese food. Tight-ass Tuesdays too so food was half the price. Service was shocking, felt so sorry for the 2 friendly floor staff who struggled to attend to everyone but the chicken literally melts in your mouth, it’s so damn good. Portuguese wine was nice too.

Excuse the lack of updates, not been lazy, been in the matrix working my ass off on the Zen Garage online store!
