Justin Fox February 14th, 2010
By now you would have heard that Auto Salon Magazine will no longer go to print after the next issue (if you haven’t read up here). I know the ASM team have been working extra hard on this last issue as I’ve been following their Twitter Feed.

Calling all Married Car Lovers!

We’ve been approached by Southern Star Entertainment Pty Ltd. They are currently casting for outgoing and opinionated married couples to appear on a new show for Channel 7. Created by comedy legend Jerry Seinfeld, ‘The Marriage Ref’ looks at the fun and comedy of married life.

Sakura wheels
Justin Fox February 11th, 2010
Hayashi Racing designed and produced the original and now infamous, very hard to find and extremely valuable “Sakura” (Japanese flowering cherry) wheels. To fill the void, Japanese wheel manufacturer R-Pride has released a new sakura inspired wheel for popular compact cars and kei cars. Lovely, but you can’t compare them to the originals.
Sponsoring Grassroots Racing
EvilElmo February 10th, 2010
This is a question I’ve been asking myself for quite some time now. Why is the idea of sponsoring an event, team or racer such a difficult task for amateur, semi pro and even promising talent?
A talented dirt bike rider who won 70 state titles and at the age of 12 participated in 35 races, with 32 wins, 5 titles on the line and won all of those titles. You might have heard of him, Casey Stoner. Yet with all these wins and potential of being an international success, did Australian business jump on his side and help him along? According to him, not really.
