  1. Thanks guys. we have a backstage interview with Terry Grant in Motive DVD #6
  2. Hey guys. THis is part of a chapter from the new Drifters Unleashed DVD. ( not a a teaser or trailer). The other 84 minutes is more of the same. Enjoy.
  3. ha ha, yeah...its authentic right down to one headlight and indicators not working...
  4. Yo After the RX-7 in the Top Gear Live show broke its engine, we were asked to provide our Nissan S13 Silvia drift car to fill in for the night. It was used in the Sat night show and driven by the legendary, world famous stunt driver Terry Grant, who is the lead driver for the show. He said it was 100 times better than the junk RX-7. Check out his website. Got to hang out with Terry and he signed the car. Also met the STIG ( yes, the real one) and went to the official staff after-party ( yes Clarkson and May were there). Was an un-believable weekend and the car stayed on display all weekend. Great exposure for Motive DVD and good to see a "real' drift car in the show!! More pics on our Motive DVD facebook page and I managed to film it with my digital camera as our normal cameras obviously aren;t allowed inside. Better than nothing though!! Video: Pics can be found at: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Motive-DVD/109802347353
  5. I'll set something up soon for people to buy the DVD by bank transfer. give me a couple of days to get it online etc Will be easier that way if cant get into a stockist
  6. Hey That's weird. Im selling plenty online no problem. Croydon Racing Developments is our official retailer of back issues in Sydney if you want to pick one up?
  7. maybe a quick feature on how its done would be cool and yes, we'll be at Sydney Powercruise making the Powercruise DVD and a feature for Motive DVD
  8. Hi guys Motive DVD #5 is on sale now at all leading newsagents and online from Feb 1st at www.motivedvd.com Its one of our best yet so enjoy!!
  9. he may have had a troubled past in SA but he lives in WA with his misses and kid and runs JPC and all is above repoit
  10. maybe then, but not now
  11. It Denzo, the guy that bought drifting to Australia. He was in all the magazines and HPI videos from 1998 through to 2003/4, Guy is a car scene icon....and funny
  12. Not to be taken seriously. Enjoy
  13. Its a "trend" description. Its the ying to the sex-spec yang. You don't have to understand it, just accept it.
  14. will you split the brakes Im after rear calipers only. jsut calipers, not rotors, lines etc
  15. edit - off topic .
  16. Damn, you know more about my business than I do. We get paid to make DSPORT and Powercruise DVD and are allowed to put that content into Motive DVD as part of the deal. THis makes Motive financially possible. If i did nothing but exclusive Aussie content it would not be cost effective, no where near it. Motive DVD has been funed OUT OF MY OWN POCKET since it started in May, and in no way has even come close to returning me a profit yet. I'll say it one more time so people can understand - OUT OF MY OWN POCKET. The corporate and contract work has paid for Motive DVD to exist. Why would I do it at a loss you ask? Well, thats how it works for the first 2 years in a business and I wanted to keep ads out of the DVD for as long as possible on behalf of the viewers. So, when it comes to content in the DVD I have a choice. Use the features from DSPORT and Powercrusie, which are already paid for so costs Motive DVD nothing, or , spend money OUT OF MY OWN POCKET to film features in Australia for exclusive content. Now, the decision on what to film in Australia goes like this. 1. Will covering this event help sell more DVDs ( i mean a hundreds, not ten) or provide valuable branding? If no, go to question 2. 2. Is someone paying for us to be there? If the answer is no to both then we dont go to the event. Period. Simply because putting together a feature on an event will cost a few grand OUT OF MY OWN POCKET I didnt want all this to be public but I guess people need ot know. Motive DVD is NOT owned by a larger organisation like Express, APC or Autosalon, it is totally independent. There is also no big investors or silent partners or sponsor backing it all. It comes OUT OF MY OWN POCKET. Video production takes days, not hours. Magazines can pay a photographer a couple of hundred bucks ( if that ) for the photos an write in article in a couple of hours. Easy. Magazines also make enough advetising dollars that the magazine is paid for before it goes on sale. It takes two people a day to film and 3 to 4 days of post production per feature. And MOtive DVD is not paid for before it goes on sale. All of the money comes from sales. Magazines are half ads, would you liek teh DVD to be that way?? Exactly. Why am I doing it then? To help make the car scene I've been in for over 10 years better and support it. Thats why I build cars and that's why I held the GTR challenge, and will be holding a lot more challenges in the future. Obviously I want it to make money, and it eventually will, but for now I need the car scene that Im helping to help me. So, if you want to charge me to have a trade stand that wont pay for itself, then I'll charge for the production and air time in the DVD. I charge sponsors, advertisers and corporate clients to produce features and air them, so if this event wants coverage for the entrants and traders then I will charge for it. Now do you see my point? You need to bear in mind that covering this event will provide more branding for all of your traders and sponsors, giving them better value for money and making them want to support it again in the future. The magazines will not do much of this, if at all. So if a trade area to display some of our project cars, put up some banners and maybe sell a few DVDs to cover the cost of the staff manning it for the day ( not the production) isn't worth the coverage, well, there's plenty of other events who think its worth it. And before the " we'll give you good content" line comes out, remember DSPORT pays us to go to Formula D, SEMA, Tokoy Autosalon, D1 plus many more major events. We're also a media partners with Powercruise, Drift Australia and Jamboree. So I want attending to get the world's best content, I offered to attend to help support the local, grass roots car scene.
  17. I'm still keen to come and cover it.
  18. Im after a set of rear calipers only. Dont need pads, line, rotors or anything at all from the front. If someone else will buy the fronts, Ill take the rears. And yes, 2200 is a bit steep for dirty ones missing rotors
  19. Thanks bro Its because accountants own the parent companies and editors often just pretend to be car enthusiasts more cool stuff on the way!
  20. someone who cant afford $14.95 must be very proud
  21. yeah, I have complete control over Motive so can take it in the direction I've always wanted to Glad you like
  22. Hi guys Thanks for everyone's support with Motive DVD #3. It seems to be doing well meaning we can hold another GTR Challenge in 2010 and attend more events. Here is the trailer for Motive DVD #4. Hope you all enjoy it and everyone sold helps keep Motive DVD strong and keeps the advertising to a minimum ( unlike other automotive publications)
  23. I was trying to say we weren't coming without offending anyone or being offended myself so it's not really an interesting way to put it. I guess the posts are more interesting now
  24. Sorry if the offer to spend a few thousand dollars out of my own pocket covering the event and making a feature on on it in Motive DVD isn't worth parking our project car there with some banners and DVDs. If you think "providing" us with content is just cause I'm afraid your mistaken. It cost a LOT of money to make the DVDs and selling a few extra to people who were at the event isn't going to cover the expense.
  25. Change of plan. Motive DVD wont be covering the event. Sorry, want to but it's out of my hands.
