Fast Fours Original

Hello there fellow Fast Four Fans and Rotary Representatives,

Apologies for the amount of time it's taken to make this post. We've had some techical gremlins in the last 24 hours with backing up and updating of servers so the original post was lost. Back we're back up and ready as ever!

The Fast Fours & Rotaries Cruise on Saturday 15th was a huge success, thank you to everyone who faced the early rains and came out for the cruise, it was you guys who made it an event!

It's been such a long time since we've hosted a cruise and with such a successful event, there's not telling what we can come up with next. It's amazing to see pistons and rotaries alike, covering the whole demographic from old-school to new-tech, converging in one location to share our fondness for our rides.

Cuzza Buzza, our birthday boy who recently turned 40 was moved by the number of people who rolled out for his birthday celebrations. He asked for me to share with everyone, "Please tell everyone thanks for coming out, they're allright!", so thanks for making his day guys! Cuzza Buzza (David) is a great friend of ours here at Fast Fours & Rotaries and it's people like him, who highlight to us what's legitimate, bright, and positive about the scene.

We're happy to announce that we raised almost $1000 for our drought affected neighbours in Queensland. This is amazing for a short-notice cruise so thank you everyone for your huge support!

Also we'd like to give a special thanks to our sponsors who came aboard to support the cruise. Without them we wouldn't have been able to get this cruise off the ground. They are:

TurboSmart - Our mate Troy from Turbosmart is always keen to come out for an event and didn't fail to dissapoint! Thanks for your continuing support!

RotorMaster, Gas Motorsport and Titan Motorsports- Unfortunately Joe and the team were unable to make the cruise being caught in a manic time with the Summer Race season revving up. However, they were very generous with inputting into our prize pool!

Mainline Automotive Equipment - Have you ever had your car on a dyno? Chances are it was a Mainline Dyno! Craig was away on a trip however didn't hesitate to support our cruise!

RDA/EBC - It's the first time we've worked with Dennis and it's definitely not going to be the last! Do you folks dig your epically cool travel mugs? You can thank RDA/EBC for them!

StreetWrap - Anthony couldn't make his way out but was keen in supporting our cruise and gave us loads of products to give away.

Motive DVD - We've always been friends with Andrew at Motive DVD, be sure to check out the DVD that was in each show bag

Autobarn Bankstown - Michael Koval made it for the cruise and hung out briefly at the meet point but unfortunately couldn't hang around. Autobarn Bankstown worked together with Motul Oils to chip donations in for the raffle draw

Lachlan Cook Automotive - Locky was the fellow in the highlighter green/yellow Lotus Exige and has been friends with Cuzza Buzza for over 15 years. Like his Lotus? Just wait until you see the rotaries that he builds!

So please make sure you continue supporting the people that are supporting our scene!

A full write-up of the event will be coming out on the Juneissue of Fast Fours & Rotaries Magazine which hits shelves on the 11th of May 2010 so make sure you grab yourselves a copy.

Hey there readers, no you're not seeing things. Fast Fours & Rotaries December issue is definitely out and no, we're not in December just yet, so no we're not trapped in a time warp and no we're not caught in the nexus of the Universe. Explaining why this issue is titled December issue involves many complicated mathematic deductions and pages and pages of magazine business riff-raff so instead, why don't you just check over the jump for a contents breakdown?

Hanging out in the pits of WSID on Wednesday Night look who we stumbled across...

It was Nick Bruzesse's first night at the drags and when we took these photos he had already gone for his first run. Although bogging down on his take-off, Nick pulled a big mph.  122mph to be exact which left officials considering sending him home.

Check over the jump for a little bit more of a write up and some more pics.

We had a nice surprise waiting for us when we rocked up to work today. Wassim rocked up with his beautiful little Mazda 1000. Built by Rotor Master. You don't see too many of these on the street these days and especially not in this condition! The last time I spotted a Mazda 1000, it must have been a bunged up little work ute that was used to transport a trayload of old alternators and starter motors to Flemington Markets from the wreckers.

A far cry from that reality is Wassim's pride and joy. This one's a stunner, and we're looking forward to writing this one up into the magazine so definitely keep your eyes peeled for this one in the magazine!

Thanks to the boys for swinging around for the shoot. Also big thanks to Jacqui from Rotor Master for bringing this magnificent little car to our attention.

If you read September issue 2010 of Fast Fours & Rotaries Magazine, you might recall that we featured Flashrods's flash drive cars. Check it out on page 14 if you haven't already. Well, will wonders ever cease, we had a couple of these gems show up at the office today thanks to Dave and Kayla from Flashrods and we are mightily impressed. Jason from Performance Imports Magazine and I can now be spotted cruising around in our new GT-Rs and CTR, wreaking havoc on the USB drives around the office.

Sunsoaked, windburnt and voiceless, we've returned from an intense 2 days of fury from the MotiveDVD GT-R Challenge and Drag Battle sponsored by Juice Polishes. The event, held at Cootamundra airport is located about 2.5 hours north-west of Canberra. There, over 9 GT-Rs went head to head to see who woul reign as the Godzilla of all Godzillas. Together coupled the Drag Battle, the 2 days of non-stop instensity pitted together some of Australias wildest cars and most well-established workshops.

So why would Fast FOURS magazine be following such an event? Check over the fold to find out!
