Street Machine Car Of The Year Award

[Fitzpatrick Speed Works]

Hey all,

Just thought I would let you guys know and plead for your support in the Street Machine Magazine car of the year award that my brother in his Datsun 1600 has been nominated for.

We want to show all the street machine die hards that no matter what the car if you have done it right people will appreciate it, Aaron has copped alot of **** off the SM crew over the years with comments like, it will never be in this mag cause its missing 4 cylinders, and I believe on one occasion was told that No body likes Datsuns, so we really want to show them!!!

The most important thing is if he wins there will be a huge KEG party with all invited to piss up to the success that will be a huge thankyou to you guys and others for there support. I know theres some people on here that buy street machine and we would really appreciate the support.

So buy the mag rip out the voting slip and send her in.

Thanks all.

Daniel

That is one fine looking 510 your brother has there Daniel

[nizmo_freek]

Now thats one nicely done datto!!! Good luck!

[Revhead]

Absolutely gorgeous car mate, the amount of time and money in that is incredible. The biggest lure for me personally with SM is the level of detail and the engineering in their vehicles, it's really really good to see that people aren't afraid to apply that same level of attention to detail on vehicles that don't fit the "usual" SM mould.

Me = voting for that

[Swiper the Fox]

Vote for the best 510 in the world??

no problem...ill gee up the lads to put a few in for ya Dan

My first car was a Datto 1600...but it didn't look nuthing like that!

Dayum!!

[Fitzpatrick Speed Works]

Thanks guys really appreciate the effort, we have some really stiff competition, especailly considering some of the other cars fit the Sm mould alot better than the Datto.

Thanks again guys.

I seen this car at Summernats earlier in this year.... you wouldn't believe how long I spent trying to find a fault, didn't happen!

Hey Daniel;

Having owned several 510's in the past (still have a very nice one i am rebuilding), and being obsessed with them since the 80's i can say i have seen dozens of great examples..

this one is the best by far though, clearly in a league of its own, and the poster of it from fast fours earlier this year is still on the wall above my desk at work and it gets a lot of attention from co-workers let me tell you...

awesome car, congrats to your brother and all involved and best of luck !!

Awesome, love the engine bay that just looks superb

[wilch]

amazing. Engine bay is so clean and uncluttered.

[dead32]

easily the best 510 ever shown, might i ask why the blower? at this stage i would swap my gts't for a sr powerd datto, simply cause the datto is worth more lol.

[LTSJayce]

I'm in:best Datto I've ever seen!

Just awesome - I hope this level of detail and workmanship will start to show more in the 4cyl car scene - it really needs it.

Im so fed up of seeing plastic bodykitted cars with fart can exhausts in magazines

Great work - you deserve it!
