wow a heated discussion on autosalon. I dont know how many of u have read there magazine over the years and masturbated over some of the best engineered, best quality, out of the norm and cleanest rides from around the world but i have read every issue front to back and loved them all. Ive also been to 6 autosalon shows over 5 years, and slowy seen the once well respected name (being autosalon) for bringing "new" cars with "different" ideas, to the light of australians.
I agree with alot of ur comment to about the "rice", doof doof and "trophy, look pretty cars". its like opening a hot fours mag pretty cars with more speakers than your favourite niteclub and a paintjob that send a A.D.D kid into a frenzy. If i wanted to see these type of cars i wouldnt have went to the show and i kinda expected that to be the case all rice no, wow gee thats different and new.
I guess wat im trying to say is where has the real cars that people have built and experimented and failed and retried and suceded with gone, real cars that have a story behind them gone, not just some dude telling u yer i picked it up bout 5months ago put some big wheels on it, took it to autobahn they put a huge stereo in it, then got this really bright coloured paint sprayed on. Is this the way of the future for modified car scene i hope not cous there be much fun to be had at the track or drags soon,
Dont get me wrong there were absolute cracker cars too Miss R (gold teggy ridicoulos power from a four banger conversion) I WIN, Miss2j,badwog, and the mercury motorsport team with there track gtr35 wow.
Happy driving, XQS17
