Just got the latest Hot4s magazine and was surprised to see a 71 Bug in it. The mag has an orange 200SX on the cover. Don't think it's in newsagents just yet. I'm a subscriber and we get the mags about a week before.

EDIT: There's also 2 bugs in the last section of the magazine where they go out and take pictures of cars out and about. Once is a silver one with whale tail and the other is the metallic blue 'Chopped & Dropped' one that I've seen at many VW shows.

Rice 4's let a bug in?:o
I have to get a copy of this!
:vader

i think u hang out too much at PF quickbug :P

yes i think it should be called Rice 4's too after seeing too many airbrushed, filter'd, exhaust'd otherwise bone stock lancers and charades

Let's not turn this into a full blown arguement but I think some of the rice cars do look good (Daihatsus and Lancers are cr@p though I have to agree). They do get a lot of cars though that get between 8 and 13 second 1/4 miles.

Hi

I dont like the Hot 4s etc, I prefer to read Zoom. My bug has been in FF&R and Hot 4s with Jurgos bug.

Zoom is good, Fast Fours is good most of the time. Wheels is good but they don't really get into modified cars.

Steve - i have had that issue for ages.
Had both of you guys' poster up on my wall a few years ago


Im not debating anything!
RICE FOURS!
lol...

Of course they have some nice cars, but they have some utter crap too...

Guys need some help here

Just got an email from Fast Fours and they want to put the Audi in it. What should I do should I do it?

As i just got worries I dont want everyone to know what my car has as its costed me an arm and leg to do this stuff to it.

i just dont want it to get it swiped or something.

Have any of u guys put ur cars in magazines - had any good/bad experiences from it:bounce

PS they were sick of the same boring cars and want to focus more on Euros!
:beer

heh cool! how much has it cost to do it up so far? PM me if u want.

Mmmm i think a focus on euros is a step in the right direction, it separates them more from hot 4's

ill give u an approx figure its a little under $10k

Thats including my wheels which take up half that figure and performance mods

from the other vw/audi forums they are advising against it as there have been a lot of incidents of theft after the publicity.

Also im thinking people will try to emulate my Euro look A3 too.

BTW Jon what happened to the pics from the Dyno day?

Yeah id put it in fast fours.
They dont publish your suburb and you can have your plates covered if you want.

but being one of a kind in Oz and Sydney im sure people can put one and one together.

heard a story of a guy that blanked his plates and didnt show his name and his car still managed to get stolen

:cussing

I wish i can do it but now im leaning more and more not doing it:alien

Ah but you cant prove it was a direct link to the mag feature can you?
I mean anyone could follow you home if they wanted to knock off your car, you have to be careful - photo shoot or not.

I can understand why your worried though.

maybe you could Promote Med alarms and trackers (after their free installation).

Hi

After my car was in FF&R I changed my rego details to my parents house, just in case someone could get into the RTA computers, this was in the late 80s. You can usually tell what area a car comes from, had the car painted at Joe bloggs @ Liverpool etc this is a dead giveaway to the area you live in.

Gald you liked my car quickbug.

dont know if anyone seen it but in one of tha letest snot 4s mags there was a feture on small car sunday and in the middle there was a photo of 2 cops defecting some poor lads beetle not sure if it was setup for the camera?

ps....

i think it would be a nice change from the airbrushed lancers and charades just put some plates on it from a different state or tell them its a showcar representing some new alarm system remember not every crooks smart!!
good luck
