TRIAL have a whole site devoted purely to Hiaces. If you look at the thread above, the promo girl in the pic (the same pic used for my column too) owns the silver demo car...

Kristian,

I must say I do enjoy your column. I get HPI (or is it PI now?) every month and yours is one of the first pieces I read. Well done on the recent position.

I'd love to write for HPI. I envy you. I considered pursuing a career in Journalism, but fell into my current field of work. I'm a Town Planner by profession, but often think of what life would have been like if I had chosen that career. I digress.

Well done again, and keep up the good work mate, I can't wait to get my hot hands on the next edition.

Cheers,

Adam.

Yep "IMPRIMATUR" is a great read.

I loved the reference to Elantra/Accord equation that takes away the crust that keeps the eyes of the KANACs CLOSED!

(btw Linton, I can't seem to find my head anywhere!) lol

[PM-R33]

also winner of the best wheel is the VOLK GTC.

Wohoo

Ill make sure i dont miss this, looking forward to seeing Bakes' car. Saw it in the current issue in the wheels section, looked fantastic.

[NZM.031]

haha its there terry.. dont worry.. i forgot to send in my pic of you doing the big foot impersonation.. maybe next issue.

that kanac article was brilliant... i gave it to my mother in law to read so she will stop hassling me.

its PI now... i dont know why... seems a bit weird to me... HPI or High Performance Imports just rolled off the tongue better.

this is one of the best issues ever.

Hakosuka is best old school hero

Nigel Petrie's S13 is best silvia... it gets my vote, that thing is a work of art.

and there is a really good article about the 3x initial drift silvias.. which has a great line in one article that says something about "having 300kw and realising it was just too much, and rebuilt it to have 266kw which was much more controllable.." thats proper speak right therr...

[HEKT1K]

lol Kristian i just read the thing about the Kit Kats

and yes Terry i also saw you dishing out orders at the cruise... looked like such a great event!

[Black Widow]

has anyone read the article for the R34 Cruise? was it any good?

[NZM.031]

it most certainly was pretty good. couple of good shots, 4 page spread.

[Black Widow]

woohoo!! Thanks NZM.031!

[Iron Chef]

lol cheers guys. The lead times are huge, so I end up reading the articles myself to remember what I wrote haha

[Black Widow]

That's why you keep copies of what you write.

I've got a rough idea of what's gonna be in my article

i just wanna know what everyone thinks.

I think the mag comes out at Newsagents Friday the 2nd.

That works unless you're writing for them every month, and don't know what order they're gonna print your articles in I've done through to issue 117 currently.

I was curious to know if any readers knew what Imprimatur meant...

^^^ = licence to kill

'er Correction > licence to print what you damn-well like despite censorship
