Default My Pursuit in Street Machine

Just got my 2nd car in street machine, they have done a feature in the urban warfare section from when I was racing the pursuit.
Although all the details are not quite correct (typical journalist) it's good to get some recognition for the hard work my workshop has done and all Chris's tuning help in setting records.

As I have owned this car from new and are very fussy with my car, I'm normally the only person to touch my cars, but it was good to see Chris was as fussy with my car as I am

It does
one comment which was not correct was, it said I have a big block statesman, I have a big block ZC Fairlane which has had proper feature articles done on it years ago in quite a few mags including street machine and even best of street machine.

Well done Mick, its a great achievement to get some recognition for all your hard work on that car. And to think you drive it to and from work every day too.
Oh and the BB ZC is awesome, don't know how they could mistake it for a bloody Stater.

P.S.
Hope you know as much about twin cam Camry's as you do about Fords - see you Monday! :hihi:
